"12th January, 2023: Golden Handshake with Hon. Minister Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu Sparks Unforgettable Memories"

In a heartwarming moment etched into the annals of the Nigerian Economics Students Association (NESA), the 12th of January, 2023, marked a milestone as Hon. Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, CON @atikuabagudu , left an indelible mark during his tenure as Governor of Kebbi State.

As President of the Nigerian Economics Students Association (NESA) FUBK Chapter, I recall with utmost fondness the unexpected grace bestowed upon our final year program during the NESA WEEK Seminar. The air was charged with excitement and anticipation as Hon. Bagudu made a surprise appearance, illuminating the event with his presence and wisdom.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the unforgettable golden handshake shared between Hon. Minister Bagudu and myself, symbolizing a moment of connection and mutual respect. It was a gesture that resonated deeply with everyone present, serving as a testament to the importance of bridging gaps and fostering unity within our community.

I extend my sincerest gratitude to my esteemed boss, Hon. Bashar Aliyu Buhari (Ameer) @ibn_aleey, S.A to the Hon. Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, whom his effort on that day was instrumental to every bit of success we achieved. He is a rare gem that give us every reason to hold him with a high esteem regard.

As we reflect on this remarkable occasion, let us carry forward the spirit of camaraderie and collaboration exemplified by Hon. Minister Bagudu's golden handshake, inspiring us to strive for excellence and unity in all our endeavors.

FROM MARAFAN TO MARAFAN

One of the greatest leaders, elder statesmen & politicians that Nigeria ever had was Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi OFR, the Marafan Sokoto.

He was a respected lawyer & a highly acclaimed & eagle-eyed police officer and in 1979 during the administration of President Shehu Shagari he was appointed as the head of the now defunct Nigerian Security Organisation (NSO), Nigeria's premier & dreaded intelligence agency.

He was the father of Nigeria's 3-tier Intelligence Agencies of the DSS, NIA & DMI & these agencies were all established as a consequence of the recommendations of the commitee that he headed under the administration of General Ibrahim Babangida.

He was also a presidential aspirant on the platform of the now defunct NRC in 1992 & lost the nomination as flagbearer for the party by a very narrow margin to Alhaji Adamu Ciroma, the Madakin Fika & the former Minister of Finance in the Government of President Shehu Shagari.

I had the distinct honor & privilege of being close to Marafan & was more like a son to him rather than just a political mentee or protegee.

He brought me into politics in 1990 after my beloved father, Chief Remi Fani-Kayode, the former Deputy Premier of the Western Region, the former Regional Minister of Chieftaincy & Local Government Afffairs & the Balogun of Ife, handed me over to him & the Babangida regime lifted the ban on politics.

Marafan & General Halilu Akilu, the Head of Military Intelligence in General Babangida's Government taught me, led me & guided me for all those years & in 1992 I was appointed not just as Marafan's Special Assistant during the presidential campaign but also the spokesman of Choice '92 his presidential campaign organisation.
It was & remains the greatest honor of my life.

Sadly Marafan passed on ten years ago in 2016 & his title, which is undoubtedly the most reverred & respected in the Caliphate, remained vacant for a number of years.

It gladdened my heart that in 2024 the title was finally conferred by His Eminence the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, on my friend & brother Senator Abdul Aziz Yari, the former Governor of Zamfara state, who was not only very close to the late Marafan & indeed was one of his most treasured & closest protegees but who is also married to his daughter.

I cannot think of anyone else that is more deserving of that title & reverred position than Senator Yari & my prayer is that God will guide, lead & protect our new Marafan & cause him to build on the great & noble legacy that his predecessor in office has established.

Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi provided strong & decisive leadership for us all & more than any other political leader in our history he cemented the strong relationship & unbreakable bridge that exists between the people of the North & the South West of Nigeria.

He knew that this was the key to our national unity & stability & he worked hard to build that bridge & establish that strong bond which exists till today.

For this & so much more he was loved by all & I have little doubt that Senator Abdul Aziz Yari will continue the great work that he started & achieve the same.

As Sadaukin Shinkafi, a traditional title which was bestowed upon me in 2020 by His Royal Highness, the Emir of Shinkafi, Alhaji Mohammed Makwase & which I cherish, I wish our new Marafan all the best & he can always rely on my friendship & support.

Ours is no longer a political association as members of the same political party but it is now one of family & legacy which is enshrined & entrenched in the traditional institution of the Caliphate.

I wish you the very best my brother & each time you speak & do all that you do it brings back fond memories of our father, the late Marafan who we both loved so much.

I wish you well in this great calling & indeed all of your future endeavours.

God bless you & the people, leaders & traditional rulers of Zamfara state & God bless our beloved nation Nigeria.

Thank you my dear brother, for remembering our father, Marafa Umaru kindly. Indeed one of the reasons he loved you, was because he saw the brilliance you possess. May Allah grant you all much success and rest the souls of our departed fathers. #Choice31 loading?? 😀

@JasmineKambojMD @m_mutebi Two main barriers- cost, especially when it comes to screening. And awareness by the general population- about the available tools, and their effectiveness!
