Open Letter To Borno APC Chairman

Open Letter To Borno APC Chairman - Abdullahi Yusuf

Hon Chairman sir,

It is with highest sense of respect to your highly exalted office that i write you this open letter. I have tried to get across to you with my suggestions but could not meet you due to your constant official engagements in and outside the state. But I believe through this medium you will surely get my message. Hon Chairman sir, the APC like any other political party has been build on the principles of justice and the supremacy of the party.

In any democratic setting, the decision of the party is binding on all its members. For anyone to belong to a political party, such must have agreed to abide by the rules and regulations established by the party. Any member of a political party who refuses to abide by the decision of the party, such person should be subjected to face a deciplinary action. It is wrong to set a bad example where party members will sabotaging the efforts of the party openly without calling such people to order.

The change mantra that we are all supporting should start from home. We cannot achieve the desired change without instilling decipline in whatever we are doing. It is sad and unfortunate how some people who are claiming to be APC members in Borno are undermining the supremercy of the party, and yet no action was taken against such people. I believe there are laid down procedures for any agrieved member to channel his complain, and where no action is taken such member can go to court to seek redress.

It is therefore very important that Your kind and respected office through the party machinery should take a step to instill sanity by taking disciplinary action against those who are openly undermining the party. Nobody should be above the party as long as the person is a card carrying member of the party. No matter how highly placed person is, if he or she is working to undermine the party, such person should be booted out to serve as a lesson to others. They are saying #BornotafiJam'iya, and we are saying #JambiyaNasamaDaYayanta.

God bless APC
God bless Borno state

BUHARI: TURNING APPOINTMENTS INTO DISAPPOINTMENTS

By Jaafar Jaafar Ponder over this Hausa proverb: “sawun keke ba’a gane gabanka”, which roughly translates to “a bicycle’s contact patch does not tell where it comes from or where it heads to”, and see how it aptly describes Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari. Bearing in mind the current realities in our polity, how would you, in your wildest dream, think the Secretary to the Government of the Federation will come from the North? The very North that has a President, a Senate President, a Speaker, a Head of Service, a Chief of Staff, a Chief Justice, and what not? While Mr. President is likened to the proverbial “sawun keke”, the pigmentation of his appointments may be likened to “birgimar hankaka”, literally meaning the wallow of a pied crow. When a pied crow wallows, the Hausa say, you will see both the white patch on its gullet and the black plumage that covers most of the bird’s body. In the appointment of the GMD of NNPC, President Buhari showed Nigeria...

Okro Soup Issues By Sonala Olumhense

Once upon another life, I was attending a literature conference at the University of Calabar when a friend of mine took interest in one of the students. He thought his best chance was through the front door: ask her out. But a friend of hers thought differently, and she asked me share this wisdom with my friend: “If you want to eat Okro soup,” she counseled, “you don’t go diving into the middle!” I advised my friend accordingly. He thought about it for a while. “They have Okro soup politics here?” he asked me. “So exactly how do they eat Okro soup?” I told him what I was told: “First, you eat around the plate!” He didn’t take too kindly to the advice, as he mumbled some indistinct philosophy about desiring to meet Okro with hunger, or something like that. It did not occur to me at the time to question my interlocutor as to whether the approach to eating Ogbono, Nigeria’s pre-eminent soup that is similar to Okro, was different under that same wor...
