According to her, “the lawmakers have kept quiet on the issue in Kano”.

She told journalists at her residence in Kano on Tuesday, Dankani questioned the continued stay of the legislators in the legislature. “Where are the laws to help address the issue of Al-Majiri in Kano, where are the laws, if any that were pursued by our lawmakers to proffer solution to this problem.

“The lawmakers from Sokoto is different from the lawmaker from Kano, same with the law maker from Akwa Ibom, because the problems in their constituencies are differ,” Dankani stated.

According to her, poor execution of constituency projects has aided the continuous existence of poverty in majority of the constituencies that are represented by the lawmakers.
