A security expert, Warrant officer Bello Bakyasuwa (rtd) has called on the Zamfara state Commissioner of security and the Special Adviser on security to Governor Matawalle to resign their positions, following persistent killings of innocent people in the state.

Addressing journalists today, Bakyasuwa said, the two personalities, Alhaji Abubakar Dauran and DIG Mamman Tsafe (rtd( appointed by Governor Bello Matawalle to bring an end to security challenges in the state have woefully failed, as such, they should relinquish their respective positions.

Bakyasuwa said “It is no longer news that, Zamfara state is under attacks virtually on daily basis and the situation has escalated to the state capital, Gusau”.

“Those appointed to assist the Governor in this direction have completely failed”.

“The Honourable commissioner  for Security Abubakar Dauran and his lieutenant, the Special Adviser to the Governor on security matters, DIG (rtd) Mamman Tsafe need to silently resign from their positions and apologize to the good people of Zamfara state”. Said Bakyasuwa.

He Maintained that, the state recorded several bandits attacks in the last few weeks due to non performance of the two political appointees.

“You may recall that, few days ago, suspected bandits invaded Gidan Goga village in Maradun Local goverment area where they killed four people and injured three others”.

“More recently, one Bashir Musa Lawan Dare Gusau was abducted by unknown gunmen at his residence in Gada-biyu Gusau, the state capital”.

“Within the last one month, gunmen have consistently carried out plans and coordinated attacks in the state especially in remote areas, just to sabotage the effort of the state government on finding lasting solutions to armed banditry in the state”.

He specifically challenged the commissioner on security to come out and ensure the arrest of some bandits since he knew them.

“In my expert opinion, since the commissioner knows some of the bandits, let him fish them out in order to end banditry once and for all”. Said Bakyasuwa.

He stressed that, as an indigene of the state he could no longer sit down and watch, while innocent lives were being lost.

He therefore called on them to resign in order to pave way for the state government to implement security reforms.

ADC urges Tinubu to disclose his whereabouts for five days after BRICS summit

Published

on

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has challenged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to tell Nigerians where he has been for five days since the end of the BRICS Summit in Brazil according to the gazette.

The president, who returned in the early hours of Sunday, had been missing from public view since the end of the Summit in Brazil without any official explanation as to his whereabouts.

The full statement read:

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) extends a weary welcome to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for finally returning to the country five days after the end of the 2025 BRICS Summit, which held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Since the summit ended on Monday, July 7th, all the other world leaders who were in attendance returned home, briefed their citizens, and got back to work. But our President? He only reappeared in Abuja in the early hours of Sunday, July 13, without a word, without a briefing, or any explanation as to why his return to the country had been delayed.

A whole five days is significant in the life of a country, especially a country like ours battling with several existential challenges of insecurity and a tottering economy that has made life increasingly difficult for the majority of Nigerians. The president was not on holidays, he was on official duty. We therefore cannot wish those five days away, and we demand a clear explanation for them.

The ADC also notes with concern that this disdain for accountability around the President’s overseas trip has become a distinct hallmark of this administration.

In January 2024, a so-called “private visit” to France turned into a two-week disappearance. No photos, and no statements from our President.

In April 2024, President Tinubu travelled to the Netherlands and then to Riyadh for the World Economic Forum. The summit ended on April 29th, 2024, but there was not a word from him until May 8th, 2024. Those were nine days of unexplained vacuum.

In August 2024, President Tinubu flew to China via Dubai. After his engagements in Beijing, he vanished from public view on September 5th and mysteriously surfaced in London on September 11th. He was missing for six days—no explanations, no letter transmitted to the National Assembly, just silence.

And in the same August 2024, the President also embarked on yet another “brief work stay” in Paris. He remained incommunicado for three days, then quietly returned, as if the nation does not deserve to know.

Each episode of Mr. President’s mysterious disappearances has sparked all manners of speculations and rumours that are not only unhealthy to the polity, but also endangers Nigeria’s perception in the eyes of the world.

We urge Nigerians to take note. A president that disappears without explanation cannot be trusted to be present to solve the crises that we face. A president that vanishes without accountability has no moral authority to demand sacrifice from citizens. Most importantly, a ruling party that makes excuses for these serial disappearances has nothing but contempt for the people it governs and has no regard for accountability.
