He said, at the current situation in the country, Northerners need unity then ever not which hunting and blackmailing one another especially among leaders and elders of the region.

The civil society and human rights activist Abubakar further explained that, Malami having convinced that he had nothing to hide throughout his tenure as the Minister of Justice, notified the security Agencies about the threat; and they immediately swung in to action which eventually led to the apprehension and arrest of the dubious and self-proclaimed patriotic Mahadi Shehu.

”Mahadi Shehu has been very popular in defaming and tarnishing the image of politicians from Northern Nigeria, especially the Fmr President Muhammad Buhari and those who served in his Government, as well as the incumbent President Bola Ahmad Tinubu, Mal. Ibrahim Shekarau and the likes. You may wished to recalled Mahadi’s deceptive tactics in an exposed video that went viral mimicking that he is physically incapacitated” Abubakar added.

”Based on this, as activists who mean well for our region and Nigeria at large, we are disassociating ourselves from Mahdi Shehu and called on Nigerians to disregard him as an activist”. He explained.

The group then, called on Northern leaders and elders to unite and confront the challenges facing the region, and that era of blackmailing and which hunting one another is over.

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.
