2023: What Tambuwal, Babangida Aliyu says about Tinubu
2023: What Tambuwal, Babangida Aliyu says about Tinubu
By: James Bwala
If democracy helps the populace learn how to hold their leaders accountable, then politics, which is where democracy comes into play, must help the populace decide which candidate to support. When the general elections on February 25, 2023, get near and members of the opposition speak highly of a candidate with such a generous aura of respect as Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it is not bad to take their remarks seriously.
Many have praised Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, as a remarkable leader who cultivates those around him and elevates them to millions of others who are undoubtedly celebrating him today. The speeches we hear from some of them who interacted with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu remained and reminded Nigerians about the hero who can lead them to the promised land, despite the fact that politics with its many fingers has driven others away, especially in the run-up to the 2023 general elections. Of course! Tinubu has persisted in telling anyone with an ear that he is confident in his knowledge of the road to the New Nigeria.
In the words of the governor of Sokoto state and DG Atiku campaign organization, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, the APC Presidential Candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was described as ‘a patriot, a leader of men, who at all times stand on the side of truth, who at all times works with democratic forces to enthrone and entrench democracy and democratic culture in Nigeria.’
Tambuwal was not under any pressure when he spoke at the time to convince Nigerians that Tinubu is, in fact, a patriot, which we all need to lead the country at this time, so if we dissect and put his words on the table to choose between the man he is trying to sell to Nigerians and his words, we can go with his words considering the time he said it rather than now.
On the other hand, former governor of Niger state, Babangida Aliyu said where ever he went and he was praising the Awolowo’s, the Ziks and the Ahmadu Bello they would say it is because there was a leadership vacuum that we were always remembering the older ones.

According to the former Niger governor and Atiku’s top ranking campaigner ” Now we have one that we can look at as the hero of our time. When he (Tinubu)became the governor of Lagos state, I was already a Permanent Secretary in the cabinet secretariat, so I had the chance to see many of them because I was the one doing the writings of whatever they are talking about in their meetings. I could observe, I could grade and I could say this is doing the job or say I don’t know why these people elected this one or what happened here.
“The Emirate of Borgu in Niger state discovered him (Tinubu) a long time ago. That he was really a leader. A leader that will always be in the front and not a leader that will send the troops and stay in the room.” He ended with this praise, “Jagaba, Jagaban Borgu, Jagaban Nigeria.”
The two prominent PDP figures were blunt in their respective speeches and came to the conclusion that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state and current candidate for the APC presidency, was the only person who could be a true democrat and meet the nation’s current needs for heroes.
The viral video says volumes about the APC presidential candidate’s character in the current campaigns. Each campaign team runs its train in a very different fashion, but the APC train, which is commanded by Tinubu and Shettima, consistently garners the most attention before, during, and after rallies.
The APC structure has been quite clever from one campaign rally and gathering to another. When the Tinubu, Shettima train bulldozed the road to Awka yesterday and stood higher in the Alex Ekwueme Square silencing the critics and leaving a historic footprint, it was somewhat shocking to many indigenous people of the southeast that mountains of people could gather and celebrates tinubu and kashim Shettima on Obi’s alledged political ground.
Both governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, and the former governor of Niger state, Babangida Aliyu, have solid reputations. Nigerians would do better if they made a wise choice rather than a poor one because as insiders, Tambuwal and Babangida have spoken; and spoken from a point of observation about leadership and success. If the opposition’s big pot of words about the choice of the next Nigerian leader could come with Tinubu as the man to lead for historic footpaths, We cn as well conclude here that Tambuwal and babangida have chosen to speak the truth.

Gov. Uba Sani Says No Citizens Should be Pushed into Poverty Seeking Essential Medical Care
Gov. Uba Sani Says No Citizens Should be Pushed into Poverty Seeking Essential Medical Care
…Pate Calls for National Consensus on Prioritizing Health Care
By: Michael Mike
Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani has advocated for access to affordable medical care for all Nigerians, insisting that no citizens should be pushed into poverty for seeking essential medical care.
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Ali Pate also called for national consensus on prioritizing healthcare system in the country.
Speaking at a High-Level Health Media Dialogue with Media Executives in Nigeria with theme: “Escalating Executive and Media Action for Health Accountability and Financing,” on Thursday in Abuja, Kaduna State governor said: “We believe no Nigerian family should be pushed into poverty by seeking essential medical care. Here, equity is not rhetoric for us. It is a principle of governance and justice…”
Sani, while noting that health facilities have been elevated in all parts of Kaduna state, said these landmark facilities significantly reduces the need for medical tourism, lessening the financial and emotional burdens in families.
He noted that emergency care is given priority, said: “We have launched the Kaduna State Emergency Medical Services ambulance system,” which has ensured that countless lives ensuring that urgent intervention reach patient within critical calling hour.
He added that: “Our consensus, as of today in Kaduna, the government has made it free for every emergency case in the first 24 or 48 hours without paying a penny, every patient will be treated free the first 48 hours in Kaduna,”
On his part, Pate said the issue of health affordability is universal and Nigerians need to know that the federal government is working on this.
He said: “There is real pain of affordability. Half of the world’s population doesn’t have access to basic healthcare services, not only in Nigeria, but we tend to self flagellate and not build a consensus to fix it, because it takes national consensus. It’s not a technical issue.
“Fixing health is not just a technical issue because we have had technical expertise for a very long time. It’s not also purely technocratic in terms of just having the right actors that know how to manage doing fundamentally, it’s a political choice that is reflective of political consensus within a country. It is when a country does not build a consensus on the prioritization of health or of education that it doesn’t allocate the resources or use the resources in that right way. And that goes beyond government.”
He noted that with the new tax reform has offered an opportunity for health to be adequately funded in the country.
Also speaking, the Country Director, Gates Foundation Nigeria Uche Amaonwu, said the health of our mothers, children and families, and by extension Nigeria’s human capital depends on what we do next for primary health care.
He assured that the Gates Foundation remains deeply committed to working alongside government and partners to ensure that every Nigerian family can rely on a strong, well financed primary healthcare system.
Earlier in her welcome speech, the Executive Director. International Society of Media in Public Health, Mrs. Moji Makanjuola reiterated the importance of budgeting adequately to health sector
She said “while we acknowledge the remarkable progress made, we must also confront — with courage and compassion — the realities reflected in our health indices.”
She said according to the 2023 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS), Nigeria still records one of the highest maternal mortality ratios in the world at 512 deaths per 100,000 live births, and an under-five mortality rate of 102 deaths per 1,000 live births. These figures translate to approximately 82,000 Nigerian women dying annually due to pregnancy-related causes, and one in every ten Nigerian children dying before the age of five.
“These statistics are not meant to indict but to inspire — to spotlight the urgency for deeper reforms, more coordinated investments, and sustained accountability. They also highlight why our collective focus on strengthening PHC systems remains both timely and essential.
“Primary Health Care Centres (PHCs) represent the bedrock of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) — the first and most critical point of contact for millions of Nigerians, especially those in rural and underserved communities. Yet, data from the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) reveals that only 20% of the over 30,000 PHCs nationwide are fully functional.
“When PHCs work — maternal and child mortality declines, immunization coverage improves, productivity rises, and the cycle of poverty linked to ill health is broken. Our task, therefore, is not merely to acknowledge these challenges but to transform them into opportunities for lasting change.”

Four killed, others displaced as communal clash erupts in Niger community
By: Zagazola Makama
Four persons have been confirmed dead following a violent communal clash between Nupe and Fulani residents in Ezhigi village, Edati Local Government Area of Niger State.
Zagazola Makama report that the conflict began on Oct. 21, 2025, when a yet-to-be-identified Nupe man from Ezhigi had an altercation with one Jibril Adamu, a Fulani herder, for reasons yet to be ascertained.
During the dispute, Jibril allegedly attacked the Nupe man with a machete, inflicting deep injuries. The victim was rushed to the General Hospital, Kutigi, where he later died on Oct. 22 while receiving treatment.
The death of the victim reportedly triggered a reprisal attack by Nupe youths, who stormed the Fulani camp in the same village, killed four Fulani residents, and set their settlement ablaze.
Police personnel from Enagi Division swiftly mobilised to the scene and restored normalcy.
The command confirmed that one suspect, Jibril Adamu, had been arrested, while investigation was ongoing to track other perpetrators and prevent further escalation.
