RINGIM, JIGAWA— Defeated governorship candidate in the 2011 general elections under the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Alhaji Badaru Abubakar Talamiz, has sympathized with the masses of Jigawa State for finding themselves in abject poverty under the present administration of Governor Sule Lamido.

Speaking with newsmen, after formal presentation of All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate for the forthcoming bye-election for a vacant seat assembly in Ringim constituency, Talamiz decried the disparity in the gap between the infrastructure development in Jigawa and poor human development in the state.

He said nobody could deny the fact that the PDP government in Jigawa State had put in place physical infrastructure but noted that the people were still wallowing in poverty due to neglect of education, agriculture and other key sectors.
