BREAKING: IBB Calls on Northern Leaders to Save the Region from Collapse
Former Nigerian military Head of State, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has called on Northern leaders to unite in order to rescue the region from decline.
In a speech delivered this morning, Babangida stated that prominent Northern elders continue to pass away, a situation he said further highlights the urgent need for leaders to rise and protect the dignity of the region.
“You can see that many of the region’s respected elders are passing away, including top religious scholars, politicians, and others. Even I myself feel weak, and I am not sure whether I will survive beyond this year. Our prayer is to end our lives in faith,” he said.
He further stated that during their time in leadership, they did everything possible to ensure the progress of Northern Nigeria, citing the relocation of Nigeria’s Federal Capital from Lagos to Abuja as an example.
“If I had left the Federal Capital in Lagos and not moved it closer to our Northern region, perhaps today the North would not even be recognized as it is. Alhamdulillah, we have done our part, and now our time is coming to an end. I appeal to Northern leaders to unite and reclaim this region of ours, because we have no other like it,” he added in his address.
Kofar Dogo, later known as Kofar Na’isa, is one of the ancient gates constructed during the reign of Sarki Muhammadu Rumfa, who ruled Kano from 1463 to 1499 AD. It is regarded as one of the most significant gates in the expansion and defense of the ancient city of Kano. Historical accounts indicate that the gate was originally built in the Gwale area, which at the time was an independent settlement before it was incorporated into the city of Kano.

President Tinubu: Investment is very cowardly unless you are transparent, accountable and forthright. Part of that is Africa looking at itself putting our resources together so we can go out there and negotiate for ourselves. I wrote an article in the Financial Times talking about international rating agencies.
About 2.6m naira will be the monthly expenses in running the school.
More so , the pupils will not only learn western and Islamic knowledge, but skill acquisition such as phone repairs, shoe making, tailoring etc.
Ya Allah let’s this legacy continue even after Malam’s death 🤲🏽

While Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, CON was in Abuja today evening, we heard about the emergence of a coronation which is called a "consensus" for all the elective positions in Gombe State.
Legally, there can be no valid consensus without involving the aspirants who have obtained or completed their expression of interest and nomination forms.
We advise all our supporters to remain calm and law-abiding. However, the total disregard for the provisions of the law cannot be ignored by us.
The Nigeria Electoral Act, 2026, outlines the modes of nomination in Section 84 (2):
Political parties are restricted to only two methods for selecting candidates in which coronation is not among them. The two methods are:
1) Consensus: A candidate may emerge if all cleared aspirants provide written consent to step down. If even one aspirant refuses, the party must revert to a direct primary.
2) Direct Primaries: Every registered party member has the right to vote directly for their preferred aspirant.
The action is completely contrary to the provisions of the law, the directive of the National Party, and the instruction of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
We urge our supporters to get ready for direct primaries after addressing major challenges in the APC database in the state. Our legal team is also working on addressing the challenges and observations.
May Allah bless Gombe State and may Allah bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you all.
Signed:
Professor Suleiman Mohammed
From Gombe State.
(On Behalf of all Supporters and members of Pantamiyya Movement).
