Governor Tambuwal

 

By Nafiu Muhammad Lema

The complex situation in Nigeria is quite alarming but can be managed if the right decisions and choices can be made comes 2023 General Elections. Our greatest conundrum as a nation apart from insecurity is our unity as a single entity. The allegations of one region marginalizing others have been at the root since the first republic. With the ideal and accepted leader, Nigeria can renounce and defeat insecurity and other challenges. Our insecurity worsens when we keep backstabbing each other on the back.

For how long are we to keep living in a wonderland when we already come to terms with what can save our country? Unifier and development achiever Nigeria needs who can integrate, mediate, and consolidates on the gains, and everyone, every region wouldn’t have any after-issues. Nigeria needs a leader who can harmonize and reconcile belligerent factions to become one under the same roof. A leader every region would be happy with, and a leader that can gain the trust of everyone.

Millions of Nigerians and I have it in good faith that the 10th Speaker of the House of Representatives can be the uniter Nigerians are looking for. When it comes to national cohesion and integration, the current Governor of Sokoto, and PDP Stalwart, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, is a rare breed among the present crop of politicians. He is a kind of leader that every region respects and craves for because of his patriotism and passion for the greater good and development of Nigeria.

Amidst Soaring Prices Nigerians Languishing In Extreme Poverty

When he was on the saddle as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tambuwal was often praised and rated as an influential Speaker of the House. This is on account of his courage, dynamism, constructive outspokenness, relentless pursuit for legislative independence, and revolutionary approach towards the running of the House during his era as speaker. And Nigerians can testify to the fact that the house he led was the most harmonized and stabilized in the history of Nigeria.

During appointments and constituency project allocation, Tambuwal made sure he brought each member regardless of party or ethnic affiliations. Nigerians can recall with nostalgia the numerous bills that directly impacted their lives were vigorously passed under the stewardship of Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal. How he handled mini Nigeria then was heaven to gaze at. And that is exactly what he’s doing now as the Vice Chairman of the Nigeria Governor’s Forum.

His interventions in national affairs both as the Vice-Chairman NGF and as Chairman PDP-GF have been that of the best thing that happened to Nigeria in the last two years. He has been outspoken to the plights of Nigerians. He speaks the truth as it is with no strings of politics attached. And he offers suggestions as to what needed to be done to halt the current hardships Nigerians are facing.

Tambuwal has been doing excellently in Sokoto. For the past six years, Sokoto has witnessed tides of change in infrastructure and human development. The Sokoto that has become the epicenter regarding deteriorating attitudes by some restive youth has long been dealt with. The current Sokoto under Tambuwal is a Cherokee tree which branches have spread in all ramifications.

One of the best achievements of Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is the touch he has in harnessing situations. Take a look at how he is currently engaging and harnessing the Sokoto Youths, turning them into precious stones worthy of emulation in Nigeria. He has come up with initiatives and youth-friendly policies that directly affect them through Skills Acquisition and Agriculture. Sokoto Youths have made progress that can hardly be matched.

The same treatment we believe Tambuwal can apply to Nigeria if given a chance to be its next leader. The Nigerian youth population boasts up a Million numerical strength but has not been adequately tamed. And we are sure if Tambuwal is at the helm, the situation can be something of a passed. Yes, there are leaders, but just not committed like Tambuwal. The End SARS conundrum and its other affiliated can all be avoided if Youths were carried along in Governance.

For those blinded by hatred and envy of how Tambuwal is becoming a pearl in the annals of history would only keep getting disappointed because Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is now a phenomenon that would overwhelm Nigeria’s political space in coming ways. And to those who have assumed the role of God and think they alone giveth leadership, they will InshaAllahu continue to cover their heads in shame.

Over 200,000 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State have dismissed allegations of incompetence against the ministerial nominee, retired Hon. Yusuf Abdullah Atta, as baseless. Some APC members in Kano believe the allegations stem from personal grudges held by a few individuals who are not legitimate members of the party.

In a statement, Mustapha Gidan Magani, the secretary of APC Kwaciri Ward, on behalf of the entire executive committee of APC Fagge Local Government Area, rejected the allegations of anti-party activities during the 2023 general election. The executives argued that those intending to submit a petition to the Senate, claiming to represent 50,000 APC members, have no legal standing to make such claims.

The APC executives from Fagge Local Government Area are prepared to counter the petition, asserting that it will have little impact on the confirmation of Atta as Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development. They expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for nominating Atta, highlighting his administrative skills and dedication to serving humanity.

Salisu Usman Karaskabuli, a youth activist of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano, has called for the immediate suspension of several high-ranking party members, including former governor Ibrahim Shekarau, Bello Hayatu Gwarzo, and Yahaya Bagobiri.

He accused them of sabotaging the party’s efforts in the state and hindering PDP’s progress in the region.

Addressing journalists in Kano, Salisu Karaskabuli alleged that Shekarau has engaged in anti-party activities during the 2023 governorship election.
“Despite being a PDP leader, the majority of his supporters backed the APC candidate,” Salisu Karaskabuli said.
He further claimed that Shekarau is already mobilizing his supporters to work for Senator Barau’s governorship ambitions in 2027, signaling ongoing disloyalty.

Salisu Karaskabuli also blamed the PDP National Vice Chairman for the Northwest Bello Hayatu Gwarzo for failing to unite the party across the region.
He noted that prominent PDP members, such as former governors Ibrahim Shema of Katsina and Ramalan Yero of Kaduna, had defected to other parties due to Gwarzo’s ineffective leadership.
Concerning the recent PDP congress in Kano, Usman expressed frustration, rejecting the outcomes of the ward, local government, and state congresses.
He accused the leadership of the party for partisan zoning and disqualifying candidates without valid reasons.

Further accusations were leveled at Yahaya Bagobiri, the chairman of PDP elders in Kano.
Salisu Usman claimed that Bagobiri had leaked sensitive party information to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) leader Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Usman Karaskabuli called on the national leadership of the PDP to investigate the accused members and, if found guilty, take appropriate disciplinary action.

The accusations come at a time when the PDP in Kano and the wider Northwest is grappling with internal divisions, which some fear could weaken the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Sadiq Ali Sango, a prominent youth activist of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider appointing Murtala Sule Garo as a minister in the forthcoming cabinet reshuffle.
Sango made this known in a statement released to journalists in Kano.

The Federal Government recently announced that President Tinubu would soon reshuffle his cabinet, sparking widespread speculation over potential new appointees.
Sango expressed optimism that Garo, a grassroots politician with a proven track record, would be a fitting choice for a ministerial position.

“Murtala Sule Garo is not only a politician but a true son of the soil, with immense contributions to the APC in Kano,” Sango stated.
“His service as the APC’s deputy gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 election and his unwavering commitment to the party despite not having the reins of government in Kano makes him the ideal candidate for Tinubu’s cabinet.”

Sango further highlighted Garo’s role in holding the party together during difficult times, describing him as the “supporting pillar” of the APC in Kano.
“He has carried the party on his shoulders, providing support to party leaders and members alike,” he added.

With the APC no longer in control of Kano State’s government, Garo’s influence at the grassroots level has been pivotal for the party’s continued strength in the region.
According to Sango, Garo’s appointment would reinforce the party’s position in Kano and contribute to the success of President Tinubu’s administration.

The call for Murtala Sule Garo’s inclusion in the Federal Executive Council comes amid growing anticipation regarding the composition of the new cabinet and the need for strong political figures to represent Kano at the national level.
