Mr Mahmud, who is also the Deputy Editor of PRNigeria, noted: “As part of PRNigeria’s commitment to helping entrench Nigeria’s democratic space, through in-depth analysis of socio-economic issues and political events shaping the 2023 polls, we recently undertook a field trip to some States, across the country.
