Dr Tanko also said during the rally Mr Peter Obi would read out his seven-point agenda to the residents which include Production-centered growth for food security and export.

The agenda include securing and uniting Nigeria, effective legal and institutional reforms (rule of law, corruption and government effectiveness), Leap frogging Nigeria from oil to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).

Others are; expanding physical infrastructure through market-driven reforms (unleashing growth-enabling entrepreneurship and market-creating innovations).

SaharaReporters in December 2022 reported how at least 40 residents were killed by bandits in Mallagum and Sogwon communities in Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

SaharaReporters had gathered that all the victims are Christians of Catholic and ECWA dominations.

Terrorists had attacked the two villages, killed a number of residents, burnt down houses, foodstuffs and properties worth millions of naira.
