As a citizen, if you want to see good leadership from your elected officials, you must elect them based on their plans and manifestos. Ask them: What are your short-, medium-, and long-term plans for the people?
For those seeking re-election, don't just listen to promises. Demand evidence of solid achievements before granting them another opportunity. Weigh their performance based on developmental projects, policies, and initiatives that have positively impacted the lives of citizens.
When you ask elected officials for money, you inadvertently change their priorities. Instead, let us gauge their performance using development indicators and the progress they bring to our communities.
I know the difficult circumstances many people find themselves in often motivate them to seek financial assistance from politicians. However, if we are truly serious about nation-building, we must be willing to endure some short-term pain for long-term progress.
Muna kira ga duk wani masoyin @ProfIsaPantami CON (Majidadin Daulan Usmaniyya) da katin zaben shi ya bata ko yake bukatan a gyara mishi da ya gaggauta sabuntawa.
@ProfIsaPantami has called for urgent action to address insecurity, protect schools and communities, and strengthen intelligence gathering across Nigeria.
ON THE SECURITY SITUATION AND ATTACKS ON SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS NIGERIA
Recent events unfolding across the country have left me deeply concerned due to the alarming resurgence of insecurity in various parts of Nigeria, particularly the recent wave of killings, abductions, attacks on communities, and the disturbing targeting of schools and innocent children.
In Kogi State, terrorists reportedly invaded Ayegunle Bunu in Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area, killing a resident, injuring others, and abducting more than fifteen persons, including passengers travelling in a commercial vehicle. This attack came amid growing security concerns in the state and follows several other incidents that have heightened fears among residents.
In Plateau State, armed attackers stormed Gwon-Ajang village in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area during a birthday celebration, killing at least eight people and injuring ten others. This latest tragedy adds to the recurring attacks that have claimed numerous lives across Barkin Ladi, Bassa, Riyom, and other communities in recent months, leaving many families bereaved and displaced.
Equally disturbing are the repeated attacks on educational institutions. In Oyo State, gunmen launched coordinated attacks on schools in Ahoro-Esinele, Oriire Local Government Area, abducting dozens of pupils and teachers, while a teacher was reportedly killed. The incident forced the closure of several schools in neighbouring communities as a precautionary measure.
Similarly, in Borno State, armed insurgents attacked schools in Mussa community, Askira-Uba Local Government Area, abducting scores of children, most of whom were nursery and primary school pupils between the ages of two and six. Parents watched helplessly as their children were taken away, further underscoring the vulnerability of schools and learning environments in conflict-affected areas.
These incidents represent a dangerous trend that threatens the lives, education, livelihoods, and future of millions of Nigerians. The persistent attacks on schools are particularly troubling because schools are sacred spaces where the nation’s future leaders are nurtured, educated, and prepared for national service. Any attack on a school is, in essence, an attack on Nigeria’s future.
On this note, I call on the relevant security agencies, and all relevant stakeholders to immediately strengthen the nation’s security architecture, with special emphasis on schools, rural communities, highways, and other vulnerable locations.
The government must be reminded that Section 14(2)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria clearly provides that “the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.” This constitutional obligation must move beyond rhetoric and be reflected in concrete actions capable of safeguarding lives and property.
To effectively address the evolving security challenges confronting the nation, there is an urgent need to deploy modern, technology-driven security solutions. These should include the extensive use of surveillance drones for real-time monitoring of forests and ungoverned spaces, satellite mapping to identify terrorist hideouts and criminal camps, advanced facial recognition systems for tracking criminal networks, geospatial intelligence tools, and modern communication systems that enhance rapid response capabilities.
Furthermore, intelligence gathering and sharing must be comprehensively revamped. Local communities possess invaluable knowledge of their environments and should be integrated into a structured intelligence framework that enables security agencies to anticipate threats, identify suspicious activities, and prevent attacks before they occur. Community-based intelligence, supported by technology and professional security operations, remains one of the most effective strategies for combating terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other violent crimes.

Political office is a platform for service, not a solution to unemployment.
Leadership positions should be sought by those who are prepared to serve, solve problems, and drive development, not by those simply looking for a source of income.
If you aspire to hold public office, prepare yourself. Leadership is a serious responsibility that demands vision, competence, sacrifice, and commitment.
One of the major challenges we face today is that many politicians seek office without a clear plan for the people. Their focus is often on the privileges and benefits attached to the position rather than the impact they can make.
If your primary goal is to earn a living, there are countless opportunities in business, entrepreneurship, and regular employment.
Public office should never be treated as a job opportunity, it should be treated as a call to service. Our society deserves leaders with ideas, solutions, and a genuine passion for progress.
Barrister Yahaya Ibrahim alleged that a Government House meeting centered on @ProfIsaPantami's growing popularity, the PDP's resurgence, and his development agenda in Gombe State.
Youths from Shongom LGA have declared their support for @ProfIsaPantami's governorship bid, describing him as the best candidate to lead Gombe State toward greater development.
Last Night’s Evil Plot on Gombe State and Its Pantami Factor!
They met at the Government House last night, Tuesday, June 3, 2026. The entire agenda was “Malam Isa Ali Pantami,” with discussion focused on three points:
1) They know Malam Isa Ali Pantami didn’t participate in their primaries at all. However, they said, “Let’s make noise,” and even sponsored some “stakeholders” from within to cause confusion on the matter and drag it.
2) The growing acceptance of Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami and his new political party, the PDP, in Gombe State is highly worrisome. His entrance completely revived the party. In every gathering, Pantami and his party are being discussed. We should not allow this to continue at all.
Unfortunately, these people forgot that they are not God.
3) Malam Isa Ali Pantami is consistently presenting his scorecards and "Gombe Transformation Plan" to the people of Gombe on agriculture, unemployment, security, education, women, youth, industrialization, and more, while our candidates have yet to present any blueprint to the people of Gombe.
All the candidates in attendance were challenged on it. Now Malam Pantami is their role model.
Please continue to watch their actions as they continue to unfold.
May Allah destroy every evil plan from them against the people of Gombe State and the establishment of good governance.

Sheikh Pantami's only crime is being an Islamic Scholar. Because thousands of politicians did way worse than what he's been accused of, but don't get half of the insults he gets.
In their defense; "he's hiding behind his Islamic scholarship to avoid criticism." This is a blatant lie. I have never heard Sheikh Pantami bring up his Islamic scholarship in political matters. You can remove his Islamic scholarship and focus on Academic and Administrative track records, and still get the finest candidate for every leadership position across the Nation.
You know what's troubling about all this? Muslims are at the forefront. Why is this troubling? Because Christians have political differences as well, but you'd never find them openly insulting their pastors. Prof Yemi Osinbajo served as Buhari's VP for 8 years. How many Christians come online to spread hate against him?
A Muslim is in a better position to respect their Imāms, as we were instructed by Our Prophet to do so.
