He said the estimate was being prepared to serve the people of the state, adding that he assented to the bill sequel to legislative approval.

“We are signing our first appropriation bill into law after scrutiny by Jigawa State House of Assembly.

“And, I was told by many heads of MDAs and extra- ministrial departments the kind of scrunity the underwent before the assembly.

“So, I urge the House to use its oversight functions to ensure that the budget is used as planned and approved.

“Also, this budget is fine after thorough consultations with many stakeholders and citizens of the state.

“So it’s people’s budget. And what is in it is what would be implemented for the betterment of our people,” tye governor said.

While assuring full implemention of the budget, Namadi urged stakeholders to watch and caution the government whenever it derails.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Speaker of the Jigawa Assembly, Haruna Aliyu, local government chairmen and other top government functionaries attended the signing ceremony.

APC Adopts Bola Oyebamiji as Consensus Candidate for Osun Governorship Election—-Bola Oyebamiji, the immediate past Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus candidate for the 2026 Osun State gubernatorial election.

Oyebamiji was adopted on Saturday during the party’s governorship primary in Osogbo after two aspirants, Kunle Adegoke (SAN) and Senator Babajide Omoworare, moved a motion endorsing him as the party’s flagbearer.

The motion was put to a voice vote by the Chairman of the APC governorship primary committee and Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, and it received overwhelming approval from party members in attendance.

Okpebholo thereafter declared Oyebamiji as the party’s candidate.

“By the power conferred on me, I present to you Bola Oyebamiji as the governorship candidate of our party,” Okpebholo announced.

SaharaReporters gathered that the outcome had been largely predetermined, with party leaders earlier indicating that the primary would be conducted by affirmation rather than through a competitive ballot.

The primary election was attended by top APC figures, including Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule, Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat, who represented Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.

The development followed the emergence earlier in the week of 1,660 delegates expected to participate in the APC’s December 13 governorship primary.

Multiple sources within the party also confirmed that all seven APC governorship aspirants in Osun had agreed to back a consensus candidate after a late-night meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.

Former APC National Secretary and one-time Osun governorship aspirant, Senator Iyiola Omisore, had publicly endorsed the consensus arrangement, saying he accepted the decision after consultations with President Tinubu.

Omisore was among seven aspirants earlier disqualified by the APC screening committee over alleged violations of party guidelines and electoral provisions.
