You Can’t Run Away from Yourself
Open Letter to Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso

Salihu Moh. Lukman
Kaduna

Your Excellency, I read a statement credited to you being clarification of your position on your considered defection, which you described as ‘realignment within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to the current challenges facing the party.’ Although you call it ‘misleading narratives in the public domain’, the statement basically confirmed that you ‘have commenced wide-ranging consultations – including with leaders from the NDC, PRP and others to explore the best options for protecting our democratic interests.’

Sir, I decided to write this open letter to you to address this issue because it would appear that, perhaps on account of combinations of overconfidence and also assuming that leaders can take any hasty decision and get away with it, the destiny of the country and innocent citizens is being sacrificed. I am pained to have to raise this issue at such a time when we thought that what we have spent more than two years negotiating has been achieved.

Noting that you are not the only leader considering this option, being the one that is closer to me in every respect, I want to use you as a point of contact with all those leaders. Recognising that Mr. Peter Obi is one of those leaders and in the last few months, I have had more contacts with him, without sounding disrespectful, politically, ideologically and even in terms of lineage, if I can use that loosely, you are closer to me.

Coming from Kaduna State, North-West, many of us look up to you for leadership. Somehow, unfortunately, the signals we get is that our expectations don’t matter, what matters is your personal political ambition, whether narrowly defined in terms of becoming President of Nigeria or broadly considered based on claimed commitment to work for the improvement of the welfare of citizens. Having spent all my adult life campaigning for a better society, I am quite troubled that leaders easily become self-absorbed in pursuing their narrow interests. Quite worrisome is the fact that leaders who claimed to be the torchbearers of campaign for better society end up becoming worse. This is at least the case with both late President Muhammadu Buhari and now President Bola Tinubu.

Being a founding member of APC and one fortunate to have served the party and witnessed the betrayal of its founding vision by its leaders, I am traumatised to see leaders with potentials of providing selfless services to Nigerians becoming self-absorbed in their personal ambitions. As a person who is in his 60s, and therefore at the closing period of my life, my ambition and hope are limited to the expectation of witnessing a positive turning point in Nigeria.

Many of you who are entrusted with leadership positions almost throughout your lives are very senior to me in age. Few are younger. The hopeless reality is that most of you with ambitions, both those older and younger relate with us condescendingly and highly disrespectful almost as if we are all foolish. If you want any evidence of condescension and disrespect, your considered defection out of ADC or realignment is it. How can you, in less six weeks of joining ADC, be considering defecting to another party or some realignment? What has changed that wasn’t there before you joined?

I am asking these questions, almost as academic exercise, knowing fully well you have already made up your mind. But for the purpose of clarity, I will highlight that there is nothing in ADC today that is unique to ADC. Having been privileged to be at the centre of the negotiations that produced the coalition, it is important to highlight some of the factors that were considered leading to what we have today. The first issue is that unity of all opposition leaders under one political platform (party) is a critical success factor for electoral victory. APC won the 2023 election marginally because opposition was divided.

Saleh Ashaka, ex-VOA journalist, is dead

Saleh Ashaka, a former Voice of America (VOA) Hausa journalist, is dead.

Ashaka died on Sunday in Egypt after a prolonged illness.

The Connected Development (CODE) organisation also expressed grief over Ashaka’s death.

In a statement issued on Monday, Hamzat Lawal (@HamzyCODE), founder of CODE, described the late media practitioner as a “veteran journalist, patriot, and deeply cherished close associate” of the organisation.

“Tinubu has 31 Governors. He has the treasury. He will give 20k per voters and they will vote him. If they refuse to collect, there will be glitch in INEC SERVER. So, no one can defeat Tinubu in 2027”.

@DOlusegun You guys tell lies without shame at all and dish out nonsense as if all Nigerians are in kindergarten. Saying “what we have with us is what Mr president approved and not the harmonized version” so the president can absorbe powers of the NASS in a constitutional democracy?

Kemi Badenoch owes Nigeria an apology for this brazen lie! What an embarrassment of a political prostitute she is. A parent who shamelessly weaponises her kids for political gain is a disgrace. Keep Nigeria out of your godforsaken mouth @KemiBadenoch!
