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.

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

Published

By Salisu Baso

As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.

The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.

He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.

On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
