Unpacking and sharing the call by Mallama Hadiza Shehu Malumfashi of the Political Advantage Platform (PAP) - see attached video:
————

“…the value of a Nigerian life should never depend on geography.”

“….questions for the northern establishment, political leaders, elites, influencers, all of us….where is the voice of the north? Where is our outrage? Where is our collective anger? Where is our conscience? Where is the Vice President? Where are our governors? Where are our chiefs and emirs? Where are these senators and representatives?”

“Why do we mobilise so quickly for politics but yet so slowly for human lives?”

“Why do we issue stronger statements about power than about our murdered and abducted citizens?”

“Have we become so accustomed to insecurity that we no longer see the victims?”

“When people stop speaking up, leaders stop listening.”

“No Nigerian life is worth more than the other.”

“The terrorists are the ones attacking our communities, but our collective indifference is what is clearly destroying our humanity.”

This is exactly what the northerners expected from Rarara but he chooses to go against the masses.

Very soon this guy will bury Rarara across the north InshaAllah.

2027: What the North Needs the Most, Before Any Endorsement

It's tradition that candidates promise their electorates policies and programs during campaigns, based on their visions and plans for the future. Meanwhile, the people also identify their own needs, rooted in the gaps within their communities. This dynamic forms the foundation of the social contract between the masses and those who aspire to govern.

When I contested for the governorship position in Kano in 2023 under the platform of the PRP, I presented a manifesto that highlighted key projects and programs I believed would transform Kano. As we approach 2027, it's essential to reflect on the promises made and the needs of the people, particularly in the North.

For us in Northern Nigeria, there are many needs that many politicians in the past have promised but either delivered halfway or failed to deliver in its entirety. Examples of such projects include the Kano to Maiduguri Highway that links the North East to North West, which was started over 25 years ago under President Obasanjo and is yet to be completed. We have the Kaduna to Sokoto Highway, there's also the Abuja Lokoja and Benin Highway, there's also the Kano Katsina highway started since Jonathan's era over a decade ago. We have the Ajaokuta Steel Company that was started in 1980 by the Shagari administration, 45 years ago! The Mambila Power project has been conceived but still yet to see its actualization despite several attempts.

All these and many more critical infrastructure across the 3 geopolitical zones in the North have not been completed, and politicians use them to lure voters during campaigns, only to finish their tenure without completing them. But to me, the fundamental project that Arewa needs is electricity! Power is the driver for production and economic emancipation of any society. We cannot have progress if we don't have electricity. Everything you can think of is tied to electricity. Be it education, food production, employment, and so on. Once a country gets power right, every other sector is impacted by that, many of which happens organically.

The way Nigeria is designed today, all major critical power infrastructure resides in the Southern part of Nigeria. Take for example, the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP) initiated during Olusegun Obasanjo’s presidency (1999–2007) involved the construction of 10 gas-fired power plants in Nigeria.

Below is a list of these power plants along with their installed capacities:

1. Olorunsogo Power Plant (Ogun State): Capacity: 750 MW
2. Omotosho Power Plant (Ondo State): Capacity: 500 MW
3. Calabar Power Plant (Cross River State): Capacity: 561 MW
4. Ihovbor Power Plant (Edo State): Capacity: 450 MW
5. Egbema Power Plant (Imo State): Capacity: 338 MW
6. Alaoji Power Plant (Abia State): Capacity: 1,074 MW
7. Sapele Power Plant (Delta State): Capacity: 450 MW
8. Gbarain Power Plant (Bayelsa State): Capacity: 225 MW
9. Omoku Power Plant (Rivers State): Capacity: 225 MW
10. Geregu Power Plant (Kogi State): Capacity: 414 MW

This gave birth to a significant disparity in power plant infrastructure between Southern and Northern states. Approximately 80% of Southern states, thats 14 out of 17 states, each have power plants with an installed capacity exceeding 100 megawatts. In stark contrast, only about 16% of Northern states, specifically 3 out of 19 states, have power plants with a capacity exceeding 100 megawatts. With the decentralization of the power sector or for any other unforseen reason, imagine if the Southern states decide to hold on to the power they generated, that will be catastrophic for Northern Nigeria. 1/3
