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.’

Governor Tambuwal

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.

Ex-Niger Gov. Babangida Aliyu

“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.

Harnessing Solar Power: Patient care improved as hospital switches to renewable energy in northern Nigeria

Harnessing Solar Power: Patient care improved as hospital switches to renewable energy in northern Nigeria

By: Michael Mike

To improve patients’ healthcare in northern Nigeria, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is embracing solar energy to power the hospitals it supports, which have historically depended on expensive, fuel-intensive generators. By moving to renewable energy, communities in the region now have better, more sustainable access to life-saving medical devices, medication, and infrastructure.

Moments before the switch, many staff at Zurmi Hospital held their breath, worried about how the change in power would affect medical operations.

“We have people on oxygen tanks,” an MSF staff member said, reminding the engineers about what was at stake.

Very quickly, those fears turned to relief as the transition went smoothly, and the power remained stable throughout the day and into the following days.

“Before, it was extremely challenging,” said Israel Mushore, the energy manager who worked on the project for five months. “Patients would be taken into surgery, and there was always the risk of a power cut in the middle of the procedure. Now, with solar power, we have a stable and reliable energy source.”

For years, Zurmi General Hospital had been cut off from the national grid. Instead, it had to rely on generators that consumed more than 3,000 gallons of fuel each month to power the medical facilities. The system led to frequent and frustrating power disruptions.

Since installing 436 solar panels this year, the 250-kilowatt solar power system has consistently kept medical devices running, medications refrigerated and enabled emergency surgical procedures. A battery backup system also ensures that hospital operations continue smoothly at night and during extended periods of cloud coverage. Patients in the hospital, including in maternity care, the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and the cholera unit, have experienced their healthcare improved.

“I cannot overstate how the switch to solar panels has improved our ability to respond to malnutrition and paediatric emergencies by being able to better store vaccines and expand our outreach,” said Abdullahi Mohamed Ali, MSF Head of Mission in Nigeria.

At the same time, the introduction of renewable energy has strengthened the hospital’s ability to provide consistent, quality care over the long term. By changing the infrastructure of what needs to be sourced, transported, stored, and paid for, the hospital is now better equipped to deliver more reliable and uninterrupted care.

And, because it is a cleaner energy source, it has a smaller environmental footprint, reducing its contribution to the climate crisis that is already impacting the people MSF serves.

Climate change affects patients’ health

Climate-related shocks, such as droughts and floods, are severely impacting agricultural productivity, disrupting access to land for livestock herders and farmers, and sparking competition over resources. This is fuelling violence and displacement, leading to food insecurity and malnutrition across the region.

Over the years, MSF teams in the eight northern states of Nigeria, where MSF operates – including Zamfara State, where Zurmi Hospital is located – have recorded a concerning rise in the number of severely malnourished children with life-threatening complications. In 2024, MSF treated over 300,000 children—an alarming 25 percent increase from 2023. Over 75,000 of these children required inpatient care. This year, in anticipation of an even higher number of patients suffering from malnutrition, MSF is in the process of increasing its bed capacity in some of its hospitals.

MSF teams have also observed how years of changing weather – including warmer temperatures and shifting rainfall – have enabled mosquitoes to breed more rapidly and thrive in new areas, increasing Nigerians’ exposure to malaria. According to 2023 numbers – the most recent data available from the World Health Organization (WHO) – Nigeria accounted for 26 percent of the global 263 million cases, with a significant surge of an estimated 6.8 million more cases from 2018 to 2023.

“Every day, we witness how climate factors influence the health of communities around the world,” Mohamed Ali said. “From the rising frequency of extreme weather events to violent land disputes stemming from drought-ravaged farmlands that have diminished crop yields, the connection between climate and health is stark.”

Doing more to mitigate climate change

In addition to the consistency of using solar energy, transitioning to renewable energy has meant that MSF can better respond to patients’ needs. By spending less money and time to source and transport costly fuel to keep generators going – especially in remote areas – MSF has been able to devote more resources toward other necessary costs to keep its hospitals running and accessible to patients. Already, the organization is starting to see this through its other solar panel installations in Zamfara State – Talata Mafara and Gummi – and in the states of Borno, Jigawa, Katsina, Bauchi, Kano, and Sokoto.

“While there are still other steps to be taken to reduce MSF’s overall environmental impact, switching to solar power is part of our work to create a more sustainable solution that will benefit patients and the communities,” Mohamed Ali added.
