Smear Campaign: Who Is Afraid of Dr Mustapha Abdullahi’s Rising Political Profile? The recent media reports alleging the arrest of the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Dr Mustapha Abdullahi, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over an alleged N500 billion fraud have exposed what appears to be a calculated smear campaign aimed at tarnishing the image of a rising public figure known for his loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his growing grassroots influence among Nigerian youths. Contrary to sensational reports circulating across some media platforms, Dr Abdullahi was neither arrested nor detained by the EFCC. Multiple reports confirmed that he merely honoured an invitation by the anti-graft agency in line with due process and respect for constituted authority.  A statement issued by his media team clarified that the ECN boss voluntarily responded to the EFCC’s invitation and was not arrested as falsely portrayed in several publica...

Tackling the Misguided Claims Against Senator Yari of Zamfara APC  *By Faruk, Sa'ad Muhammad* *Talata Mafara* It is not in our character, Yari political family, to reply posts and comments  that can easily be translated to be nonsensical in order not to amplify unnecessary political tension in the state as even the fire brand in the likes of Al'mansoor Gusau and Abubakar S. Limanci is deliberately moderated. Unfortunately, some of our leaders sponsor army of writers to raise issues that can easily be interpreted to have been initiated by them. In recent political discussions surrounding Zamfara State, some stooges of a certain politician from the state have attempted to portray Senator Abdul’aziz Yari Abubakar as a political burden to Zamfara and the ruling APC. Such assertions are not only exaggerated but also fail to acknowledge the political realities and contributions that have shaped Zamfara politics over the years. Marafan Sokoto remains one of the most influ...
