Shehu Sani Defends Ribadu,Dismisses Elrufai’s claims Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has defended the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, dismissing allegations made against him by former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, as diversionary and unfounded. Sani, in a statement via his X handle @shehusani on Sunday, said the former governor should concentrate on addressing allegations reportedly raised against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission rather than making what he described as “phantom claims” against the National Security Adviser. “The ex-governor of Kaduna State should focus on the allegations before him and clear his name instead of diverting attention with his purported and phantom claims against the NSA,” Sani said. He questioned the timing of the allegations, asking why such sensitive information was not made public earlier. “Why the delay in disclosing such sensitive information to the public until when he was invit...

Image
EFCC Invitation: Group Accuses El-Rufai of Diversionary Tactics, Urges Him to Face Charges A northern advocacy group, the Northern Progressives Forum for Development (NPFD), has asked former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, to “face the charges against him with the courage he claims to possess” rather than allegedly attempting to divert public attention with accusations against the National Security Adviser. The group’s position follows reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited El-Rufai over allegations bordering on corruption and mismanagement of public funds during his tenure as governor between 2015 and 2023. In a statement signed by Mal Musa Mohammed Sule and made available to journalists , the NPFD said it was concerned about what it described as “a pattern of diversionary narratives” coming from the former governor at a time he is expected to respond to anti-graft inquiries. El-Rufai had, in a letter dated January 30, 202...

Kano’s Power Shift: How the ‘City Boy’ Youth Surge is Redefining 2027

Kano’s Power Shift: How the ‘City Boy’ Youth Surge is Redefining 2027 By Barrister Aminu Hussaini In politics, timing is everything. In Kano, the timing could not be more decisive. With the formal movement of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf into the All Progressives Congress (APC), the conversation about “possible alignment” between Kano and the federal government is no longer speculative. It has happened. The real question now is not whether Kano will realign—but how profoundly that realignment will reshape 2027. For a state long considered the strategic heartbeat of northern politics, this development is seismic. Kano is not just numerically significant; it is symbolically powerful. It has birthed movements, defined oppositions and influenced presidential trajectories. Any shift in its political center of gravity sends ripples across the federation. In 2023, the dominance of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) under the formidable influence of Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso appeare...

Senator Wamakko’s Empowerment Tsunami in Sokoto

Senator Wamakko’s Empowerment Tsunami in Sokoto By Comrade Nasiru Goronyo Today, Sokoto is not merely experiencing empowerment; it is being swept by it. Across towns, villages and wards, a political force is translating leadership into livelihood, and that force is Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko. What is unfolding today is nothing short of an empowerment tsunami—loud, visible, relentless and impossible to ignore. This is not empowerment crafted for headlines alone. It is empowerment felt on the streets. Electric tricycles are rolling out to energise local transport and commerce. Motorcycles are restoring mobility to young hustlers. Sewing machines are reopening doors for women entrepreneurs. Grinding machines are reviving small-scale businesses. Food items are reaching homes strained by economic pressure. From Sokoto North to Sokoto South, from Wamakko to Kware, the impact is immediate and unmistakable: lives are moving again. At a time when many public office holders ar...

BREAKING NEWS: US Visa Ban on Kwankwaso ‘Ill-Informed, Politically Motivated’ — Group Fires Back ABUJA — Outrage is boiling over as the Kwankwasiyya Ambassadors for Good Governance (KAGG) has detonated a political bombshell, fiercely rejecting the proposed United States visa ban targeting former Kano State Governor and NNPP leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, describing it as “a calculated political attack dressed up as human rights advocacy.” In what analysts are already calling a diplomatic flashpoint, the KAGG group accused certain U.S. lawmakers of advancing what it termed a “dangerously shallow and geopolitically reckless narrative” that misrepresents Nigeria’s internal realities. In a blistering press release by the group's Coordinator, Barrister Abubakar Kurawa, the group said "This is not about religious freedom. This is not about accountability,” the group thundered. “This is about power, perception, and an attempt to redraw Nigeria’s political map from Washingt...

Shehu Sani responds to Elrufai’s Attacks on Tinubu,Says As Governor you didn’t practice what you are preaching to Tinubu. Former Senator representing Kaduna Central and human rights activist, Shehu Sani, has accused former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, of criticising President Bola Ahmed Tinubu out of frustration and unmet personal expectations rather than genuine concern for democracy or citizens’ welfare. Sani made the remarks during an interview with journalists, where he argued that El-Rufai ignored democratic principles and human rights while in office but only began championing them after leaving power. According to him, El-Rufai’s eight-year administration in Kaduna State was characterised by repression, insecurity and deep division, leaving behind what he described as a troubling legacy. “El-Rufai forgot democracy and human rights when he was in power and remembered them only when he left office,” Sani said. “He planted tyranny and insecurity and is n...
