10th NASS: Northern Youths Caution VP Shettima, Senator Ndume on Choice of Senate President 

..Say Interference counter productive 

Group under aegis of Northern Youths Progressives Forum has asked the Vice President , Senator Kashim Shettima and other members of the executive arm of government to allow the lawmakers decide on who leads them in the 10th National Assembly.

The group also described as  embarrassing  Senator Ali Ndume's reason for rejection of former Governor of Zamfara State , Senator Abdulaziz Yari's candidature.

We are particularly disturbed that a member of the Senate for some ulterior motives decide to work against the principle and rule of the National Assembly.

According to the group, any form of interference, especially from the executive arm of government at this critical period of lobbying amongst lawmakers will have a great adverse impact on the relationship between National Assembly and Tinubu lead administration.

In a statement signed by Comrade Mohammed Ibrahim , Chairmen of the group, failure a democratic process to produce the Senate President and Speaker , House of Representatives might acrimony and disaffection among both members and the party . 

The statement further reads: "We recalled with regrets how the former President of the Senate ,  Senator Abubakar Saraki emerged against the wish of President Muhammadu Buhari and other top party members .

"A repeat of that scenario , will no doubt cause the ruling party , APC a bad blood and should not be allowed . 

"We therefore urge members of the National Assembly to vote the best among themselves to drive the 10th Assembly for growth and development of the country."

However, as a group, it is our humble desire that the former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari is considered for the seat of the Senate President , So, Nigerians can enjoy his wealth of experience and ability to deliver on promises.

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY By Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Esq. Constitutional Lawyer and Rights Activist. Every day across Nigeria, police officers risk their lives to arrest armed robbers, murderers, kidnappers, rapists, and violent criminals. Yet, time and again, these same criminals walk free, not because they are innocent, but because the system fails at a time it matters most: the courtroom. At the heart of this systemic failure lies a silent crisis—the grossly neglected legal department of the Nigeria Police Force. Understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed, this vital arm of law enforcement is struggling to prosecute crimes, defend civil suits, or even appear in court. The consequences are grave: lost cases, emboldened criminals, and a justice system that increasingly serves the powerful while frustrating victims and ordinary citizens. This is not just a capacity problem; it threatens public safety, ...
