"I borrowed the money [N400 million] for this appointment. In fact, those that I borrowed from have reported to the EFCC.

There is a world of difference between having a big heart & having a small mind. For instance, making sacrifices for others is laudable; but being used to pull a crocodile by the tail is self-sabotage.
BREAKING: Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello Warns ‘Political Cr+minals’ in Kogi Central Against Defaming Him During Election Campaigns
Lol 😆 imagine a man like Yahaya Bello calling people criminal
I've interviewed presidents, governors, generals, activists and politicians. But sometimes it's the interviews with the families left carrying the emotional burden that stay with you.
A few days ago, I interviewed the lawyer Asiya El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai. She spoke with the precision of a legal expert and the pain of a spouse.
She didn't ask me to defend her husband. She didn't ask Nigerians to take sides. She spoke instead - quietly but powerfully - about constitutional rights, due process, access to lawyers and doctors, and the emotional toll prolonged detention takes on a family.
It reminded me that behind every politically charged courtroom battle is a human story.
Whatever anyone thinks of Nasir El-Rufai politically, one truth remains: the rule of law only has meaning when it protects people whose politics we may disagree with. That is why due process is not a favour. It is the foundation of democracy.
Power is temporary. The legal precedents we tolerate today may become the standards - and the nightmare - we all live under tomorrow.
To many of us cocooned in urban comfort, this may sound like a reach. But to millions across rural Sahelian Africa, it is a lived possibility. Barbarians have been unleashed, themselves illiterate, killing the learned and unlearned alike. Life in our rural communities has been reduced to a Hobbesian struggle, millions trapped at the base of Maslow's hierarchy. For them, religion isn't a luxury forsaken; it's one they've never known, and cannot afford.

In my past life, you don’t pass assessments centers if you don’t talk about documentation and consultation. People can be very funny and lie blatantly so document everything you do and consult others as you chart your way and navigate through life’s journey.
One of the greatest lessons I have learnt is that there are extremely few trustworthy people, even with the older ones. Delegate your authority and aspect of work to someone and back it with money and see how it unravels character and real intentions of people.
At this point, keeping or releasing him does more or less the same damage. Keeping him shifts Northern sentiments against BAT ahead of the poll. Releasing him gives the opposition a full-time strategy powerhouse
I guess they’ve decided the former is less dangerous to their plans
