Muazu Abubakar Albarkawa, Kaduna  The race toward the 2027 governorship election in Bauchi State has taken a compelling turn with the emergence of former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, as a leading and formidable contender. With a rich blend of diplomatic experience, legislative background, and deep grassroots connection, Tuggar’s candidacy is fast becoming a symbol of hope, renewal, and purposeful leadership. Born on March 12, 1967, into a politically conscious family in Gamawa, Tuggar’s journey into leadership appears almost destined. His father, Abubakar Tuggar, was a respected political figure during Nigeria’s First Republic, laying a foundation of public service that has clearly influenced his path. From an early age, Tuggar was exposed to the values of leadership, responsibility, and national service principles that continue to define his career. Academically, Tuggar stands out as a man of intellect and global exposure. With a degree in interna...

Kano State is awash with excitement following a landmark political development  Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has officially transmitted the nomination of Murtala Sule Garo to the Kano State House of Assembly for confirmation as Deputy Governor, bringing to a close a period of eager anticipation across the state. The announcement sparked widespread jubilation, with residents and party supporters taking to the streets to celebrate what many are describing as a unifying and forward-looking choice for the state. In an official statement issued by the Governor's Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, the nomination was made in strict compliance with Section 191(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which empowers the Governor to fill a vacancy in the office of the Deputy Governor. The vacancy arose following the voluntary resignation of former Deputy Governor Comrade Abdussalam Gwarzo on March 27, 2026. Governor Yusuf's choice followed extensive consultations with ke...

The Kaduna State High Court sitting in Dogarawa, Zaria, has delivered a significant ruling in the ongoing defamation suit involving the Emir of Zazzau, Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, and a former Wazirin Zazzau, Alhaji Ibrahim Muhammad Aminu, barring the claimant from being heard due to non-compliance with a court order. At the resumed sitting on Wednesday, the presiding judge, Justice Yakubu Badamasi, held that the claimant could not be granted the right of audience, having failed to comply with an earlier directive of the court. The court had previously imposed a fine of ₦200,000 on the claimant for lack of diligent prosecution, citing the inconvenience caused to defence counsel who travelled from Lagos, Abuja, and Kaduna. Despite the order, the claimant failed to settle the fine, prompting the court to invoke the legal principle that a party in disobedience of a subsisting court order cannot be heard until such contempt is purged. Consequently, the court adjourned the matter to Jun...

There is a reason why the PhD is titled "Doctor of Philosophy." Philosophy is a discipline of rigor and gravity. Among its many virtues, it is meant to compel one to think, act, and write with the clarity of a philosopher. But what does it take to truly embody that pattern? It requires a commitment to intellectual integrity that borders on the sacred. Regardless of which philosophical school one leans toward, the minimum expectation is that objectivity, rationality, and a commitment to truth be adequately reflected in one's public discourse. This premise is prompted by an article written by one Professor Shehu A. Goni, which serves as an overt promotion of Mr. Bala Wunti for the governorship of Bauchi State. Every citizen, professor or not, has the right to support any candidate. However, I wish the author had simply signed his name without appending his professorship. Had he done so, no serious observer would have felt the need to respond; it would have been ...
