Another day, another massacre of northern lives with zero outrage on the media. A regular day in Northern Nigeria under Tinubu meanwhile the top voices in the North have been turned to political slaves by the very people who have failed to secure these innocent lives. Sayaya community in Matazu, Katsina State.
The notorious bandit, Kachalla Muhammadu, said that tomorrow, Monday, and the following Monday, we should expect more attacks from him. He also claimed that the army is providing him with information and supplying him with arms and ammunition.
Below is the audio phone call posted on The English Alhaji Telegram.
You're a foundational disgrace to yourself and profession, quick to jump into any attack train against North to please your paymasters. It is one thing to disagree with the Kano State Mass Wedding programme, as many have done, but reducing it to producing terrorists only spells the level of idiocy you nurture. Let me tell you, Kano State has produced some fine professionals, that if you're to be produced 1 million times to this world, you can't catch up to their achievements. Kano is the home to Aliko, BUA, Prof. hundreds of renowned Professors, and researchers. Recently, this same Kano has produced three researchers that the world has recognised as some of the most cited mathematicians in the world; Dr Aliyu Isa Aliyu, Dr Tukur Abdulkadir Sulaiman, Abdullahi Yusuf, a feat empty heads like you cannot achieve. Kano doesn't have a history of terrorism, even among some of its social vices.
That bitterness you carry would be your greatest undoing.
Since winning the primaries, I have gone round Yola North, Yola South and Girei, meeting the people face to face, listening to their hopes and sharing my vision.
One thing is clear: the love is real, the acceptance is overwhelming, and the movement is growing stronger every day.
Politics is local, and true representation starts with the people. Our campaign will be driven by the energy of our youths, the strength of our women, and the collective desire for a better Y2G.
This is more than a campaign. This is a movement. The people have spoken, and together, we will make history. #sarkified
Honestly, I won’t completely condemn him. To a large extent, he is simply a reflection of who he has allowed himself to become, someone shaped and used by the system he chose to serve.
But my real concern is not Nafiu Bala.
My concern is people like me and many others. Those of us who believe we are capable. Those of us who know, deep down, that we can do better. Yet we sit back, fold our arms, and hide behind a convenient excuse: “I am too clean for politics. The game is dirty.”
That mindset is not wisdom. It is surrender.
And if we are being honest, it is a costly mistake. When good people withdraw, they do not purify the system. They abandon it. And nature, as always, fills the vacuum. Not with the best, but with the boldest, whether they are right or wrong.
So when we point fingers at people like Nafiu, we must also look inwards. Because leadership spaces are not just occupied by those who step forward. They are also vacated by those who refuse to.
Many now say, “The youths are not ready.” I disagree. The issue is not readiness. The issue is responsibility. As Aminu Kano emphasized in his ideology of people-centered governance, leadership is not a privilege for the few. It is a duty for those who care enough to act.
And as Maitama Sule rightly said, “New breed without the old breed will breed greed.”
That statement carries weight.
Yes, the new generation may have energy, ambition, and ideas, but without guidance, values, and accountability, that same energy can be misdirected. The solution is not to shut them out. The solution is to step in, mentor, guide, and lead by example.
We cannot sit on the sidelines and complain about the players on the field. If we truly believe in change, then we must become part of it.
Politics is not too dirty for good people. Good people have simply stayed away for too long.
And the truth is simple:
If you do not take responsibility for the future, someone else will. And you may not like the outcome.
I am honored to be recognized among the world’s top 2% scientists in the Stanford/Elsevier global ranking.
This recognition reflects our spirit of impactful research with outstanding colleagues, mentors, and students, and a shared commitment to advancing scientific research.

His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has further entrusted me with the responsibility to serve as the Acting Commissioner for the Kano State Ministry of Water Resources.
The task ahead is considerable, and we will take it one step at a time, doing our best to improve access to clean water across the state. I pray that Almighty Allah (SWT) grants us the wisdom and strength to carry it forward.
Ameen.

I genuinely believe appointing Amupitan as INEC Chairman will be one of the reasons why Bola Tinubu will lose woefully in 2027.
Northern Sheikhs alone will make him lose millions of votes.
"We have made calls that this INEC chairman will not be just, but we were ignored , now everyone is seeing how biased he is and another dangerous thing he wants to embark on is registration validation, that is not even backed by any law."

Leadership Tussle: Nafiu Bala Resigns As ADC Chairman
By Funke Ogunlolu
The 2023 Gombe governorship candidate and former national deputy chairman of the African democratic congress. Nafiu Bala has tendered his letter of resignation after declaring himself as the interim national chairman of the party.
In the letter Addressed to the former national chairman of the party, Ralph Nwosu, Bala stated that his resignation was to pave way for smooth and effective coalition as well as restructuring the party.
Bala assured that he is not abandoning the party and ready to serve in any capacity but the former Gombe governorship candidate was silenced on the David Mark-led interim leadership.
The announcement came after the official handing over of ADC to the former Senate President and his team by the former national executive committee on Wednesday.
During his declaration as the national chairman, Bala had accused Mark-led interim leadership of the ADC of hijacking the party through unconstitutional means and warned of impending legal action to challenge what he described as a “total surrender” of the party’s structure to external political actors.
The former deputy national chairman emphasized that the party’s constitution clearly outlines the processes for leadership succession and that, in line with those provisions, he was now assuming the position of interim national chairman.
