I Am ‘Emotionally Indebted’ To Ganduje, Emir Of Kano – Shettima

-
The Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, has said that he remains emotionally indebted to his Kano State counterpart, Ibrahim Ganduje and the Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi. He said this during a press briefing on  Saturday amid growing concerns that he was taking sides with the governor, following his (Ganduje’s) decision to create four new emirates in Kano. “We are dwelling on trivialities and issues that are of the past”, Shettima said. He explained that the Northern Governors have been working behind the scenes to resolve the issues between both the governor and the Emir and that contrary to claims that he was taking sides with Ganduje, he was emotionally indebted to the two prominent leaders. “I have ties in Kano. The governor of Kano has adopted 200 sons of Borno (orphans) and the Kano State Government is shouldering the burden of their education, welfare, up to university level so, I am emotionally indebted to him,” he said. “I am equally emotionally indebted to Emi...

Dr. Davidson Isibor Akhimien, the presidential candidate of Grassroots Development Party of Nigeria (GDPN) in an interview with DAILY POST in Abuja explained that the US deliberately denied the country of arms purchase to confront insecurity in Nigeria. The former Intelligence Chief in the Nigerian Army said, the Army lacked modern equipment and training to fight insurgency and other forms of criminalities.   Excerpts: As the 2019 general elections draw close amid heightened insecurity, how do you intend to tackle insecurity differently from the way the current government is doing? I am going to tackle insecurity from two major fronts which are going to be quite a departure from the style the present government is adopting.  Like I always say, we are going to tackle insecurity of terrorism in the Northeast, Nigeria.  I am going to have it from the domestic political economy and international political economy.  We are going to be looking at our m...

I Am Voting Atiku And This Is Why

  The poster's Facebook account We are not electing a pastor. We are electing a President. We are not seeking a messiah- we are seeking a man who understands the fundamentals of a modern society and has the requisite wherewithal to provide leadership to a nation. Nigerians are not looking for angels to vote for. We just want someone who will provide reasonable leadership, understand the basics of the economy, demonstrate a balanced understanding of the different geographies that make up Nigeria, be cosmopolitan in approach and be fair to all. Atiku ticks these boxes for me. In addition, out of ALL the candidates, he's the only one talking about restructuring.  I believe the greatest danger to Nigeria is Muhammadu Buhari. Never has the nation been so factionalized along tribal and religious lines like now. He has taken nepotism to unprecedented heights. His incompetence stares you so much in the face that you can't ignore it.  He has pauperized the economy. H...

  Former President Olusegun Obasanjo Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Sunday, took a swipe at President Muhammadu Buhari, accusing him and “his hatchet men” of running an autocratic government similar to the administration of the late military dictator,  Gen. Sani Abacha. Obasanjo stated this in his 16-page statement titled, “Points for concern and action,” given to journalists in Abeokuta. Nigerians witnessed imprisonment of the opposition and a vicious self-succession plan by Abacha between 1993 and 1998, when the dictator died. Obasanjo said,  “It is clear from all indications that Buhari is putting into practice the lessons he learned from Abacha. Buhari has intimidated and harassed the private sector, attacked the National Assembly and now unconstitutionally and recklessly attacked and intimidated the judiciary to cow them to submission. “I was a victim of Abacha’s atrocities against Nigeria and Nigerians – high and low.  At the height of A...
