  By Yusuf Idris The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress APC Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and Yobe state governor, Hon. Mai Mala Buni most certainly made the right decision, the right choice at the right time when he approached and convinced the Zamfara state governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle MON into joining the APC which came to fruition in July of 2021 with lots of anger and negative criticisms from those who felt the party was their personal property and did everything in their strength to scuttle the governor's defection to the party. At the turn of events however and with Buni's insistent declaration standing by the party's constitution that Matawalle is the APC leader in the state by virtue of his occupying the exalted office of the executive governor, his acceptance to be in the APC has culminated into now uniting members and returning the state to a one big family under one political roof which Zamfara is reputed for. Following the disintegrati...

    President Muhammadu Buhari warns the leaders (and membership) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to desist from name-calling and backstabbing ahead of the oncoming March 26 Convention, remain steadfast and maintain its unity if the party is to continue in the path of victory and its dominance at all levels throughout the country.   President Buhari asks the members to look at the once-powerful, ''main opposition'' Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) now enfeebled and adrift and learn lessons in disunity, mismanagement and corruption.   ''They failed in 16 years in power and a failure as opposition.   ''Yes, we are entitled to our own share of dissent and intra-party discord. These are common in all parties, left and right all over the world.   ''But parties splintered by competing egos destine themselves to the worst possible fate,'' the President warned.   ''As the country prepares for the long run up to the 2023 presidential ...

  Former Zamfara governor Yari’s move to defect from the ruling APC to the main opposition PDP has suffered a setback following the refusal of the PDP stakeholders involved in the negotiations to accept Yari’s attempt to takeover all the structures of the PDP in the state. The former governor was strongly and roundly accused of causing the lost of the APC at the 2019 elections in the state where he single-handedly appointed who was to occupy all the elective positions which later led to a Supreme Court ruling that sacked all the APC elective positions in that election. At yesterday’s meeting which was aimed at sealing the deal and for Yari and his few remaining loyalists to formally announce their defection to the PDP, the meeting came to an abrupt end with some of the main PDP stakeholders when Yari insisted that his boys must occupy positions such as those of the state chairman’s as well as who should be the governorship flag-bearer and two senatorial seats. At the moment, the me...

  By Yusuf Idris Gusau It is a well known fact that the present government of Zamfara under governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle MON inherited myriads of insecurity issues against which the state government in collaboration with the federal government made positive impact in mitigating the crimes perpetrated by armed bandits which had led to loss of several lives and property and displacement of hundreds of thousands from their original places of abode. The joint action of the governments through the selflessness of our security agencies with support from local volunteers and dynamic initiatives by governor Matawalle to break the ranks, disorganize and neutralize the criminals have however returned many of these displaced persons to their communities who were given support in form of reliefs to ameliorate the difficulties they faced to bearable state. This in turn is now giving the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC which hitherto suspenpended its Continuous Voter Registra...
