Opposition Momentum: In Nigeria’s Zamfara, ADC chairman Kabiru Garba says the “Zamfara First” agenda can unseat APC in 2027, urging disciplined grassroots mobilisation. Trade & Jobs: US President Trump signed an AGOA extension through December 2028, giving Kenya and other eligible exporters continued duty-free access and a boost for apparel jobs.
