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.
