Maina Has No Political Value, Says Zaria Group A Zaria-based political group, the Zaria Progressives Movement (ZPM), has dismissed the political relevance of a former Director-General of the Uba Sani Campaign Organisation and erstwhile Kaduna State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Muhammad Sani Bello (popularly known as Maina Zazzau), following his recent defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In a statement issued on Friday, the group said Prof. Sani Bello’s exit from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) would not affect the political strength of Governor Uba Sani or influence the voting pattern of the people of Zaria. The statement, signed by the ZPM Coordinator, Malam Yusuf Garba, said the people of Zaria are politically conscious and remain committed to good governance and sustainable development, not only within the Zaria Emirate but across Kaduna State.

Uba Sani and the Steady Restoration of Security in Kaduna State

Image
Uba Sani and the Steady Restoration of Security in Kaduna State Amid rising public debate on insecurity, it is necessary to state clearly that Kaduna State under Governor Uba Sani has recorded notable improvements in security through deliberate, coordinated and intelligence-driven leadership. Contrary to.some opinions, the state is not abandoned to violence, nor is its leadership indifferent to the plight of citizens. From the outset, Governor Uba Sani placed security at the centre of governance, strengthening collaboration with federal security agencies, supporting logistics and prioritising community-based intelligence.  This approach has led to improved response times, increased patrols and the gradual reopening of farmlands and roads that were once unsafe. Many successful operations, including the rescue of abducted persons, have understandably remained outside the public space for operational reasons. These gains have been further reinforced by the appointment of G...

Dr. Mohammed Shamsidin Ango Abdullahi Dumps PDP, Backs ADC Ahead of 2027 A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Mohammed Shamsidin Ango Abdullahi, has formally resigned his membership of the party, citing lack of internal cohesion and concerns over the direction of democracy in Nigeria. In a letter of resignation made available to journalists on Tuesday, Abdullahi said his decision followed careful thought and wide consultations with party members and community stakeholders. According to him, developments within the PDP in recent years have shown an inability to foster political unity capable of strengthening both the party and the country. “Based on the unfolding observation of the events and situations of the People’s Democratic Party, especially within the past few years, and the direction of democracy in our dear country, Nigeria, I feel it is necessary at this point to resign from my membership in the PDP,” the letter read. Abdullahi lamented what he d...
