Uba Sani: Changing the Scope of Governance in Northern Nigeria

Image
By Zaidu Zaidu Purposeful leadership has long been the missing link in Northern Nigeria’s development journey. Despite its vast human and mineral resources, the region is often seen as a drawback in the country’s quest for sustainable progress. Simply put, many perceive Northern Nigeria as a burden, a region with little to offer. This perception might have been different if the region had continued to produce visionary leaders in the mould of the Sardauna and other great northern statesmen, who not only led with purpose but also united the people across all divides. Today, however, a new wave of leadership is beginning to challenge this narrative. Senator Uba Sani stands out among a handful of emerging leaders who are redefining what it means to govern with vision, empathy, and results. Calm, calculative, and unassuming, the former Senator representing Kaduna Central has hardly put a foot wrong since he emerged as Governor of Kaduna State. He started by putting the people f...

IRAN  VS ISRAEL: The 12 day war may not be the last. 

Image
  BY INUWA WAYA.  The circumstances that led to the ceasefire after the 12 day war between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the State of Israel are in the public domain. Whatever distortions are coming out from the media defending from which side they belong to, the truth is that both Israel and Iran had shown signs of exhaustion.  The only point requiring remark here is that Israel showed more signs of exhaustion by  inviting the United States to join the war. Had the war continued, no one would determine its outcome. After the ceasefire, each of the parties involved  claimed victory. Donald Trump said that the American bombs at  the three nuclear sites in Iran had obliterated the Country's nuclear programme.  According to him, it would take nearly 20 years for Iran to restart uranium enrichment. Israel also claimed victory. They believed that by eliminating top Iranian nuclear scientist and military commanders, they have dealt a fatal blo...

THE  ’12- DAY WAR :  lesson for tomorrow. 

Image
            By Inuwa Waya Let me start with a hypothetical scenario. You have a neighbour who was full of pride because he is strong economically and otherwise. He has friends equally very powerful who come to his assistance whenever he requested. Because of that, he holds every household in your area with disdain and contempt. With or without provocation, he enters any household, maim, and even kill if there is resistance.  His powerful friends rearmed him with weapons and money from time to time for him to continue oppressing and frightening the neighbourhood.  Everyone in the environs and beyond is afraid of him, and nobody dare  challenge his impunity and wanton display of power and arrogance. Any perceived threat to his power is met by maximum punishment. When the situation became unbearable, you started showing signs of disapproval. You began to raise awareness for the neighbourhood to address his excesses. Once he noticed y...

THE BLUE PLANET: War or Peace?

Image
By Inuwa Waya  During the 20th Century, human life lost its value  as a result of  the barbarism that accompanied the first and the second World wars. The war machines invented for the protection of mankind were ruthlessly unleashed against the human race. The inability of the League of Nations to prevent the appalling crimes led to the emergence of the United Nations at the end of the second World war in 1945. Since than, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has been working  to enforce international peace and security without success. On the 13th June, 2025, Israel began a massive military operation against Iran. The operation according to the Jewish state was aimed at  degrading the ability of the Iranian State to develop nuclear weapons. The Israel claim that Iran is developing nuclear weapons was refuted by Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA). The Iranian nuclear programme according to Tehran is for ci...

Senate 2027: No Better Candidate Than Yerima Shettima Abbas

Image
By Comrade Musa Mohammed 2027 general elections, the time for the people of Kaduna Central to put on their thinking cap has come. This is no time to pander to political party supremacy without questioning. Political parties, as has been emphasized over time are simply vehicles for promoting the vision and aspirations of the individuals, particularly in the Nigerian context without a clear-cut ideological foundation for the political parties. What the people need at this point in our political journey are men and women with the capacity and character to deliver on their mandates. From our experiences so far, there is no gain in saying the fact that the calibre of people elected as leaders determines the quality of democratic dividends that would be delivered to the citizens.    It is out duty to elect someone like 'YERIMA SHETTIMA ABBAS' who I believe would deliver the devidens of  democracy to make the lives of the people of his Constituency better.  With...

“APC Is Now the New Political Language of Southern Kaduna” — A Divine Turnaround in Moroa

Image
By VMB  They called it a mere installation ceremony, but history will remember it as the moment the political sun rose over Southern Kaduna. From the sacred hills of Moroa in Kaura LGA, a new political sound echoed through the valleys—the name was APC. Yes, All Progressives Congress is no longer a strange chant in these parts; it has become the language of gratitude, the dialect of hope, and the rhythm of identity. For years, Southern Kaduna had wandered the wilderness of political confusion, lost in the thick fog of recycled promises. But just like the story of Pharaoh in the book of Genesis—a good Pharaoh who remembered Joseph and preserved a nation—Nigeria too has found its “Good Pharaohs”: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani. And yes, the people of Southern Kaduna say with joy: This Pharaoh is different. This one listens. This one blesses! What else do you call it when the Chief of Defence Staff, a son of the soil, General Christopher Musa Gwabin, work...
