IT WILL TAKE BUHARI FOUR YEARS TO CATCH UP ~ Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu






The Chief Servant Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu the Executive Governor of Niger State had said that President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan should be given a second chance as he has a lot to do for Nigeria and Nigerians. The Governpr stated this when the PDP Gubernatorial Campaign train stopped at the Emir of Kagara, Alhaji Garba Attahiru's Palace in Rafi Local Government Area, stating that the calls for change was unnecessary. 

IT WILL TAKE BUHARI TIME TO LEARN THE RUDIMENTS OF GOVERNANCE:

“The call for change is unnecessary, if someone has stayed long out of office, it will take him another four years to learn if he gets to office before he can finally catch up,” he said.
Aliyu begged the Emir to talk to his people not to desert the PDP but to join them.

CHARGE FOR NON - VIOLENCE:


The Governor decried the rise in political crisis, saying violence would not solve any problem. He said that the rate of attacks in the country was alarming, adding that the situation was capable of disrupting the forthcoming general elections.
He therefore urged political parties and their leaders to call their supporters to order.

ADVOCATING FOR DECORUM IN CAMPAIGNS:

“After the elections, we will all have to live together; so we should not do things that will further divide the country. I plead with political leaders to call their supporters to order,” the Governor pleaded.
Responding to the Governor, the Emir promised to continue to pray for the peace of the country.
Aliyu had earlier fingered the APC of plotting to cause election violence in the Nation.
Recall that two campaign vehicles belonging to President Goodluck Jonathan was set ablaze by alleged supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday, January 25, 2015, in the Suleja area of Niger State.

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and ...

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called ...

DELTA EPZ - TOMPOLO BREAKS SILENCE

Image
Delta EPZ and matters arising my take is on justice, equity and fairness – Tompolo So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially on the heels of our fight for the need by government to industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the oil-rich Niger Delta Region. Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always done, to ensure that the voice of reason was r...
