Abba Gida-Gida Dissociates Self from viral video calling for release of jail term serving Abduljabbar

Published

The attention of His Excellency Engr. Abba K. Yusuf, the NNPP gubernatorial candidate has been drawn to a viral video going round on social media where one Almaliki Nasiru Kabara claimed that he promised to give  Abduljabbar a state pardon and release him from prison if elected the Governor of Kano State.

To set the record straight, the allegation from self acclaimed Sheikh Almaliki is not true and there was no agreement between his Excellency Abba K. Yusuf and any individual or group on release of any prisoner.

Out of sheer respect for democratic values and separation of power, Engr. Abba, if elected Kano State Governor, is determined not to interfere in the judicial processes or pardon any one serving jail term out of a politically motivated interest.

The video is a calculated attempt for defamation of the hard earned reputation of Engr. Abba, put forward by some undemocratic elements with a view to set up the NNPP gubernatorial candidate against the peaceful Kano voters.

By this statement, we wish to issue a 24 hour ultimatum for Almaliki to withdraw the seriously denigrating video or accept an option of a lawsuit at a Sharia court after the expiration of this warning.

His Excellency as a law abiding citizen and political leader will not do anything to undermine the role of the judiciary as an independent arm of government. His Excellency as a Governor if elected would not interfere on any case before the court.

We are pretty sure that the defamatory statement by Almaliki Kabara is fully sponsored by the Kano State government as a result of the defeat they suffered in the recent general elections in the state.

“No amount of blackmail on the personality of Abba Gida Gida can reduce the intensity of the overwhelming supports he receives from the good people of Kano State ahead of March 11th election”.

Published

Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has stated that the problem of Nigeria is political parties.

Her outburst comes following the incessant defection from other parties to the All Progressive Congress, APC.

Ezekwesili emphasized that Nigeria has a faulty foundation and defecting from one political party to another which she described as ‘acronymn’ won’t solve the problem.

Her words,”Can I tell you that political parties has been part of the problems of our elite failures because we really havent had political parties in Nigeria.

#

We have political platforms, God bless the spirit of someone who used exactly that name for me. They are platforms where individual interest are negotiated.

“We are yet to control the ideology of having real political parties driven by the sense of nation building.

“And then if I ask you again and you say your common identity is APC, I can well tell what will happen because what would happen is that a new set of operators wants to control.

“We have a faulty foundation. When you have a structural problem, you have to find structural solutions.

“Just merely changing acronyms and doing the migratory dance that happens between one set of acronyms and another set of acronyms does not solve the problem of the 50 something years of failure since our independence.”
