When asked of whom he prefer to be Nigeria’s President and from which religion ,retired Major Almustapha Jakolo said any body from anywhere can be the president, what Nigeria needs at this material time is good governance.
Almustapha Jakolo, a former ADC to President Muhammad Buhari during his time as military Head of state said one of Nigeria’s main problem is bad governance which mostly come from Governors.
He said if Nigerian Governors can be checkmated well by the President misrule and incompetence will be a thing of the past.
According to Jakolo the Federal Government has the power to check the excesses of Nigerian Governors when it comes to spending huge funds being allocated to their states by the Federal Government.
“The President should restrict the movement of governors in and out of the country if they failed to deliver to the electorate” said Almustapha Haruna Jakolo.
He noted that if Governors are serious the problem of Banditry , Kidnapping will be minimal.
On his travails after deposition seventeen years ago Almustapha Haruna Jakolo said those that cheated him are northerners and fellow Muslims noting that he is in court for 17 years and his deposition case is yet to be dispensed.
The current President is a Muslim ,the Chief Justice of Nigeria is a Muslim,so what Iam I complaining if I insist that the next Nigeria’s President should be a Muslim from the north when personally I suffered more under their rule.
Almustapha Haruna Jakolo was Emir of Gwandu from 1995 to 2005 when he succeeded his father Alhaji Haruna Rasheed.
During the administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo Emir Almustapha Jakolo was deposed by government of Alhaji Adamu Aliero over disagreement on the convocation of National Political Reform conference.
The then Kebbi state government appointed retired Major General Muhammad Jega now Muhammad Iliyasu Bashar as Emir of Gwandu in 2005.
Since then Alhaji Mustafa Jakolo has been challenging his deposition in the courts, recently the Supreme court of Nigeria adjourned the determination of the case to 2023.

The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has been drawn to reports in a section of the media alleging that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery which was re-streamed two months ago has been shut down.
We wish to clarify that such reports are totally false as the refinery is fully operational as verified a few days ago by former Group Managing Directors of NNPC.
Preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing.
Members of the public are advised to discountenance such reports as they are the figments of the imagination of those who want to create artificial scarcity and rip-off Nigerians.

Port Harcourt Refinery Halts Production Less Than a Month After Resumption
Less than a month after the porthacourt appeared to have resumed production, the facility has stopped working.
It was gathered that the lifting of petrol actually stopped last Friday, December 13, as the 18-arm loading bay of the new Port Harcourt refinery was empty.
While about 18 trucks littered the stretch of the busy road leading to the refinery itself, nine trucks were spotted inside the parking yard, while the loading bay was empty.
Journalists who visited the refinery on Thursday, December 19, 2024, observed that the lifting of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) had stopped completely.
The depot, which is usually a beehive of activities where tankers scramble for space at the parking yard, was a shadow of itself with literally no vehicular or human activity relating to operations.
This was after $1.5bn was approved in March 2021 and spent on the rehabilitation of the facility.
The inauguration of the 60,000 barrel per day production capacity plant by the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, was met with celebration and fanfare.
During the re-opening of the facility, there was lifting of petrol to the excitement of the cheering crowd.
However, less than 10 trucks of petrol were lifted that day as against widespread claims that about 200 trucks carried petrol out of the bay.
