NUJ Recognises Abdulrazak Bello Kaura Only As Chairman Zamfara Council

Published

on

 

The Nigeria Union of journalists has denied a report circulating that he has been transferred to Sokoto State and an acting chairman has been appointed.

In a statement issued by the chairman Abdulrazak Bello Kaira stated as follows.

“My attention has been drawn to a false, misleading and mischievous press statement signed by the Assistant Secretary of Zamfara Council, Nasiru Shehu Aula purporting that I, Comrade Abdulrazak Bello Kaura, of Radio Nigeria, Pride FM Gusau and Chairman of the Council have been transferred to Royal FM Sokoto.

The said Statement equally claimed that following from above, a meeting of the State Working Committee of the union had mandated the Vice Chairman, Bello Mohammed Boko to act as Chairman pending when a bye election into office of the Chairman will be held.

Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have deemed it necessary to dignify the tissue of lies with a response but because of the need to douse the tension already created by the unfounded and baseless statement.

#

I therefore wish to state categorically that I have neither been transferred out of Zamfara State not abdicated my responsibilities as the constitutionally elected Chairman of the NUJ in Zamfara State.

NUJ Kano Council Members Go To Polls

The purported meeting was illegal, unconstitutional and of no effect. It should therefore be treated as such.

The purported meeting was merely a gathering of people with sole intention to plunge our peaceful council into crises.

Already, those behind this internal insurrection have been reported to the National Secretariat and the full weight of the Union’s constitution will descend on them accordingly.

I urge our members to remain peaceful and go about their lawful duties, while also asking the general public to disregard anything to the contrary.” He stated

Former international, Mutiu Adepoju, has urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to keep Augustine Eguavoen in charge of the Super Eagles.

Eguavoen took charge of the Super Eagles in interim capacity in September.

The 59-year-old guided the team to qualify for AFCON 2025 with three wins, two draws and one defeat.

The NFF are reportedly still planning to hire a foreign coach for the three-time African champions.

Adepoju however said his former teammate should stay in charge of the team.

“I would rate him very well. Number one, we’ve qualified for the AFCON, which is one of the objectives,” he told Brila FM.

“I would say he has done well and is still doing well.

“They should keep encouraging him. I believe he’s getting things done, I will rate him high, let just keep supporting him.”
