Governor Inuwa Yahaya, Senator Danjuma Goje and the Blame Game in Gombe

By: James Bwala

Last Friday former governor of Gombe state and Senator representing Gombe Central, Danjuma Goje and Governor Inuwa Yahaya have robbed each other’s shoulders with the blood of the innocent when their supporters clashed in Gombe to please their paid masters.

While Governor Inuwa Yahaya was said to rely on his executive powers to gather support of the party youth leader, His ADC and a driver to lead the battle against Goje, the Senator was said to have awake his dreaded thugs popularly called “Yankalare” for the clash that left five people dead.

Barely hours after the clash, Senator Danjuma Goje’s daughter, Hussaina, on Saturday resigned as the state’s Commissioner for Environment and Forest Resources, in protest after suspected political thugs assaulted her father.

In a press statement she made available to journalists in Gombe last week Saturday, Ms Goje said her resignation was a personal decision.

“Today, Saturday 6th of November, I wish to inform the general public and media organisations that I, Dr Husaina Goje, has tendered my formal resignation, from my position as Commissioner for Environment and Forest Resources to His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, effective today.

“I also wish to inform that my resignation was made based on my personal reasons. With this I wish to show my appreciation for the opportunity given to me by His Excellency the executive governor to serve as a member of his executive council in this administration.”

On Friday, the convoy of her father, Mr Goje, was attacked by suspected political thugs while the senator was on his way to the state capital to attend a wedding.

According to residents who witnessed the incident, the suspected thugs blocked the Gombe-Bauchi highway near the International Conference Centre in Gombe and set bonfires on the road.

Mr Goje’s media aide, Lilian Nworie, in a statement she issued after the incident in Gombe, said Mr Goje accused the aide-de-camp of the governor of organising the blockade and attack on his convoy.

“He arrived Gombe from Abuja, via Gombe Airport in Lawanti, peacefully until the governor’s aides blocked the road,” the statement said.

“The distinguished senator’s trip was peaceful until when the governor’s aides, including his aide-de-camp and his driver, blocked the road. For two hours, they unleashed terror on Senator Goje and those in his convoy.

“It is unfortunate that one life was lost and many cars vandalised, including the Senator’s vehicle. They smashed the windscreen. All efforts to make the governor’s aide-de-camp remove the blockade yielded no result as he insisted that he got instruction from above that the former governor should not be allowed into the town,” the media aide said in the statement.

Reacting to the incident, the state government said the former governor “caused a breach of peace in the state capital with his visit to the state.”

In a press statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information and Culture, Julius Ishaya, the government accused Mr Goje of mobilising and arming thugs from various LGAs under the pretext that his supporters were accompanying him from the airport into the state capital.

“Recall that during the last Eid el-Kabir Sallah celebration, the same person sponsored some thugs that threw caution into the wind and went on a rampage, leading to the loss of two lives. Also, just last week at Deba in Yamaltu Deba LGA, the same scenario played out at the instance of the Senator.

“It is sad that Goje has not left his old ways and is bent on bringing back his brainchild (Kalare) to unleash mayhem and bug the peaceful atmosphere of Gombe State.

“Gombe state has been witnessing relative peace and harmony due largely to the determination and avowed commitment of Governor Inuwa Yahaya in that direction and therefore the government would not stand by and watch desperate politicians unleash terror and violence on innocent citizens to the extent of getting people killed.

“While sympathising with the families of the victims, Government commends the security agencies for their timely intervention in bringing the ugly situation under control.

“His Excellency, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, as the Chief Security Officer of the State, will not renege on his responsibilities and therefore will do everything necessary to protect the lives and property of the citizenry. The government will make sure that perpetrators of the unfortunate act, no matter how highly placed, are brought to book,” the statement said.

Mr Goje and the governor are members of the same ruling All Progressives Congress, which took over the state from the People’s Democratic Party at the 2019 general elections. But politicians in the state said the fight between Governor Inuwa Yahaya and Senator Danjuma Goje dated back to 2011 when Goje who was said to have brought Inuwa Yahaya into the polity to succeed him later dumped Inuwa Yahaya for Dankwambo.

Following the clash last Friday, the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) called for the suspension of Senator Goje from the party.

Goje, who was called in Gombe during his government as ’emperor’ due to his links to many crises, was alleged to be behind the establishment of the deadly gang called ‘ yankalere’.

Dr. Abubakar Ibrahim, spokesman for APC Stakeholders in Gombe state said that Governor Inuwa Yahaya was never accused of any criminal tendencies from childhood until today.

“Governor Yahaya has been a peacemaker and one who sacrificed himself to offer the best for the good people of Gombe and Nigeria at large,’ he said.

The Stakeholders warned Senator Danjuma Goje against his desperate move to compromise peace in the state and throw the administration of governor Yahaya into chaos for his selfish interest.

He asked “Why will Goje recruit the youth into thuggery and drug abuse instead of using his political office to empower them to better our society?”.

The party according to him has given Senator Danjuma Goje one week ultimatum to tender an apology to the party and residents of the state for the violent clash masterminded by his sponsored political thugs.

But in what looks like his reaction to current issues in Gombe, Senator Danjuma Goje, has written to the Inspector General of Police, Alkali Baba; Director General of the Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi; and Attorney General of Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, over alleged assassination attempt on his life and his personal Assistant, Adamu Manga, by the Aide-De-Camp and Chief Security Officer of Governor Inuwa Yahaya, Superintendent of Police Zulaidaini Abba and Sani Bajoga respectively.

Goje’s petition to the DSS boss, IGP and AGF, written by his Lawyer, VC Nwadike, was dated November 8, 2021.

The petition, already received in the offices of those petitioned, called for investigation into the matter with aim of bringing the Officers involved to justice by prosecuting them after disciplinary action had been taken against them.

The Service Number of the ADC was given as AP/No: 118814 and that of the CSO: AP/No: 57675.

The petition reads: “That on the 5th day of November, 2021, our client came into Gombe through the Gombe International Airport at about 10:30 hours, to attend the wedding ceremony of his relative and some of his constituent supporters and admirers came to the airport to welcome and accompany him home.

“On their way to our client’s home, his personal Assistant and others with them were brutally attacked with guns, cutlass and other dangerous weapons by SP Zulaidaini Abba and Sani Bajoga, CSO to the governor of Gombe state.

“It was by whiskers and the Grace of Allah that our client escaped death, but his personal Assistant was not lucky as he was seriously injured by the attackers with cutlasses.

“At a place near the Gombe International Airport Conference Center, Bauchi-Gombe federal highway, ADC and CSO leading Kawu Keep, Sanusi Attacker, Danjuma Skade and many others came with several vehicles belonging to the Government House and numerous thugs behind them.

“The officers with aid of the vehicles of the government blocked the highway, stopped the movement of our client and those with him for hours.

“The ADC and the CSO commanded the numerous thugs bearing matches, short axes, knives, different shaped hard and dried sticks hitherto shielded by them to attack our client and those with him.

“Our client was fortunate not to be killed but his personal Assistant, Adamu Manga, in the same vehicle with our client, received several machetes cut aimed at shoulder level under the supposition that our client was the one being macheted

“In the course of the unleashed attacks on our client and those with him, five persons (including one Isah Abdullahi M of Pantami Quarters Gombe) were killed; numerous vehicles were burnt and damaged.”

While the blame game was on, families of those slain during the mayhem were left to feel the pains of losing loved ones.  They died for nothing because their blood rather than bring reconciliation was further creating gap in that both governor Inuwa Yahaya and Senator Danjuma Goje are still at dagger drawn days after their demise.

President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima

2027: Oppositions will be shocked when Tinubu, Kashim Shettima unveil their next-level move.

By Dr. James Bwala

The impending 2027 presidential election in Nigeria is poised to witness a transformative political strategy that will potentially disrupt existing opposition narratives. President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima are strategically positioning themselves to unveil a groundbreaking political approach that could fundamentally reshape Nigeria’s electoral landscape. Although many in the opposition will wave this revelation with the back of their hands, when this reality unfolds indeed, it will be beyond their dreams. 

The potential “next level move” appears to be a sophisticated political maneuver that transcends conventional campaign methodologies. By strategically leveraging their existing political capital and understanding of national dynamics, Tinubu and Shettima are preparing to challenge opposition expectations comprehensively. The emerging campaign strategy suggests a nuanced approach that goes beyond traditional political rhetoric, potentially incorporating technological innovation and targeted demographic engagement. 

Moreover, the historical context of their political partnership, rooted in their previous collaborative efforts, provides a strong foundation for their anticipated strategic unveiling. The potential shock factor lies not just in their political maneuver but in their ability to anticipate and preemptively neutralize opposition strategies. This approach demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of Nigeria’s complex political ecosystem, positioning them as potentially transformative political actors in the 2027 electoral landscape. 

Their anticipated move is expected to incorporate cutting-edge technology and data-driven strategies that could redefine voter engagement and political campaigning in the country. This innovative strategy is not only expected to enhance their political outreach but also aims to tap into the burgeoning youth demographic, which has increasingly become a pivotal force in shaping electoral outcomes. Their ability to harness these elements effectively could serve as a blueprint for future political campaigns in Nigeria, setting a new standard for engagement and strategy. By addressing these critical elements, Tinubu and Shettima are poised to not only captivate the electorate with their innovative campaign but also potentially disrupt the opposition’s conventional playbook. 

This bold move could potentially redefine the political landscape by setting new precedents in how campaigns are conducted and how leaders engage with their constituents. Their focus on leveraging these innovative campaign strategies not only signals a departure from traditional methods but also underscores their commitment to inclusivity and modernization in governance. Their strategic foresight in prioritizing digital engagement and addressing the aspirations of a younger, more connected electorate marks a significant shift in political campaign dynamics. 

This strategic evolution not only reflects a profound understanding of the shifting political currents but also highlights their readiness to adapt and innovate in response to an increasingly dynamic and interconnected world. Their anticipated initiatives are expected to resonate deeply with a population eager for progress and innovation. Their forward-thinking approach suggests that they are not merely reacting to current trends but are actively shaping the political landscape to align with future demands. 

As they prepare to unveil their next-level move, the duo’s ability to engage with diverse demographics and address pressing national issues is likely to fortify their position on the political stage. Their strategic vision, marked by a blend of tradition and modernity, is poised to challenge conventional political paradigms and redefine governance in Nigeria. Their ability to navigate complex political landscapes and engage with a broad spectrum of stakeholders underscores their commitment to fostering unity and progress within the nation. 

Their strategic vision for Nigeria’s future is expected to address the pressing challenges of economic diversification, security, and infrastructure development, thereby positioning the nation on a path toward sustainable growth and stability. Their commitment to addressing these critical areas indicates a strategic foresight that not only aims to elevate Nigeria on the global stage but also seeks to ensure equitable growth and development across all regions of the country. Their next move, characterized by a bold and transformative agenda, is anticipated to not only address existing socio-economic disparities but also to harness Nigeria’s vast potential in technology and innovation.

This approach, which seamlessly integrates technological advancements with traditional governance practices, is likely to inspire a new wave of political engagement and innovation across the nation. Their focus on cultivating a digitally-savvy workforce and promoting technological education is expected to drive innovation and entrepreneurship, thus providing new opportunities for Nigeria’s burgeoning youth population. Their emphasis on harnessing Nigeria’s youthful energy and creativity is anticipated to transform the economic landscape. Their commitment to bridging the digital divide and fostering an inclusive digital economy is set to revolutionize industries and open up new avenues for growth, ensuring that Nigeria remains competitive in the global market. 

Their innovative policies are set to address the long-standing issues of unemployment and economic dependency on oil by fostering a robust environment for startups and small businesses. Their proactive measures to diversify the economy and reduce dependency on oil are likely to not only boost local industries but also attract foreign investments, thereby positioning Nigeria as a hub for innovation and sustainable growth. Their strategic initiatives are expected to significantly reduce economic reliance on oil, thereby addressing one of Nigeria’s most pressing challenges and setting a precedent for sustainable development. Their dedication to addressing these challenges through strategic planning and innovative solutions underscores their vision for a self-sufficient and thriving Nigeria. 

With unwavering dedication, these transformative policies are likely to catch the opposition off guard. Their forward-thinking agenda, characterized by an emphasis on digital transformation and economic diversification, is poised to not only enhance Nigeria’s global standing but also fortify its internal socio-economic structures against future uncertainties. Their comprehensive approach to governance, particularly in tackling systemic issues like corruption and inadequate infrastructure, further solidifies their commitment to sustainable development and could potentially redefine the political landscape in Nigeria. 

The ability to navigate complex political landscapes with strategic acumen and innovative thinking clearly indicates that Tinubu and Kashim Shettima are way ahead of the 2027 mastermind calculations for the keys to Aso Rock. And this is likely to leave the opposition unprepared for the sweeping changes that Tinubu and Shettima are set to introduce. Their adeptness at leveraging technology and fostering public-private partnerships is anticipated to revolutionize key sectors, such as healthcare and education, making these services more accessible and efficient for all Nigerians.

El-Rufai: A calculated yet potentially ineffectual strategy to challenge Tinubu and Shettima’s re-election bid in 2027.

Malam Nasir El-Rufai, former governor, Kaduna state

El-Rufai: A calculated yet potentially ineffectual strategy to challenge Tinubu and Shettima’s re-election bid in 2027.

By: Dr. James Bwala

The recent political maneuver by former governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, left many political observers laughing. El-Rufai remains a new clown in the political arena since his rejection as a minister from Kaduna State under the Tinubu administration. El-Rufai’s defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) represents a calculated yet potentially ineffectual strategy to challenge President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima’s 2027 reelection bid. El-Rufai’s move, characterized by claims of ideological divergence from the APC, appears more rooted in personal political ambitions than substantive systemic transformation, which he continually hopes Nigerians believe. 

Critical analysis suggests that El-Rufai’s defection is symptomatic of intra-elite power reconfiguration rather than a genuine oppositional movement. The strategic repositioning reflects deeper fractures within Nigeria’s political landscape, where elite negotiations supersede meaningful democratic representation. While El-Rufai attempts to mobilize opposition figures like Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, the fundamental power structures remain remarkably unchanged.

Ultimately, the proposed alliance faces significant challenges. The fragmentation of opposition forces, combined with the APC’s entrenched political machinery, renders El-Rufai’s efforts potentially futile. His defection might be interpreted as a symbolic gesture rather than a substantive challenge to the incumbent administration, highlighting the persistent limitations of Nigeria’s contemporary political dynamics. He has been seen moving from one big political figure to another, including going to the home of the former president in an attempt to give credence to his moves, yet he could not clean up the traces of his aging and diminishing relevance in the circle of politics. Despite El-Rufai’s efforts, the entrenched political dynamics and the lack of a cohesive ideological framework within the opposition diminish the likelihood of any substantial electoral upset in 2027.

The lack of a unified vision and coherent policy proposals among these opposition figures only exacerbates their inability to present a credible alternative to the electorate. Given the historical context of electoral politics in Nigeria, the absence of a cohesive opposition strategy further compounds the challenge of altering the status quo, rendering El-Rufai’s defection more an act of political theater than a catalyst for genuine change. Moreover, the entrenched interests and loyalties within the APC continue to present formidable barriers to any meaningful opposition realignment. 

The political landscape appears to be more about individual ambitions and less about a unified front capable of mounting a serious challenge to the incumbent powers. This scenario underscores the cyclical nature of political realignments in Nigeria, where shifts often reflect personal ambitions rather than a genuine ideological departure from established norms. While El-Rufai’s attempts to forge alliances with other opposition figures such as Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and Rabiu Kwankwaso signal a desire to create a formidable coalition, the reality remains that such alliances often crumble under the weight of competing interests and personal ambitions, leaving the electorate disillusioned with yet another cycle of political theatrics. Moreover, the historical pattern of political defections in Nigeria suggests that such moves are often perceived as mere strategic repositioning rather than genuine ideological shifts. 

Despite the theatrical nature of these political maneuvers, the entrenched power dynamics and loyalty networks within Nigeria’s political landscape make it exceedingly difficult for any new coalition, no matter how strategically crafted, to truly upend the status quo. While El-Rufai’s intentions may appear bold, they are unlikely to disrupt the deeply entrenched political machinery that has long favored incumbents like Tinubu and Shettima. 

Despite these efforts, the pervasive influence of existing political structures suggests that any such coalition is more likely to fracture under pressure rather than mount a successful challenge. Given the entrenched interests and historical voting patterns, it appears unlikely that such a coalition could effectively disrupt the established political dominance of Tinubu and Shettima in the upcoming election. This skepticism is further compounded by the perception that El-Rufai’s defection and subsequent coalition-building efforts are more about personal political survival than a genuine commitment to transformative change. Despite the apparent allure of a united front, the reality remains that these alliances often falter under the weight of conflicting agendas and entrenched political loyalties. Moreover, the historical precedent of political realignments in Nigeria often results in temporary alliances that lack the cohesion necessary to present a formidable challenge to established power structures.

The skepticism surrounding El-Rufai’s defection is echoed by the Nigerian Presidency and APC, who dismiss his move as a futile endeavor motivated by personal ambition rather than a genuine ideological shift. Indeed, El-Rufai’s maneuver is less about ideological realignment and more a reconfiguration of elite power dynamics within the ruling class. As observed by many political analysts, the political landscape remains largely unchanged, with the same elite power dynamics at play, suggesting that any perceived threat from El-Rufai’s move is unlikely to materialize into a significant challenge.

This skepticism is further reinforced by the broader historical context of Nigerian politics, where similar attempts to consolidate opposition forces have often unraveled due to internal dissent and the prioritization of individual ambitions over collective goals. Additionally, the inherent volatility of such coalitions, often marred by a lack of unified vision and the dominance of competing interests, further diminishes their potential to unseat entrenched incumbents. Historical patterns also suggest that such coalitions often struggle to sustain momentum and coherence, especially when faced with the entrenched influence of incumbents like Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Given this context, El-Rufai’s efforts to rally opposition figures like Peter Obi and others around the SDP banner might appear ambitious, but without a cohesive strategy or compelling ideological narrative, such alliances are prone to fragmentation and ultimately ineffectual in altering the prevailing status quo. 

The entrenched political machinery supporting President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima possesses significant resources and influence, making it a formidable barrier for any nascent coalition lacking internal solidarity and a resonant national platform. Despite these strategic maneuvers, the historical precedent and current political landscape suggest that El-Rufai’s efforts may ultimately falter against the deeply entrenched systems supporting Tinubu and Shettima.

The historical resilience of incumbent structures in Nigerian politics, characterized by their adept patronage networks and control over vital state apparatuses, presents another significant challenge for any opposition coalition seeking to disrupt the status quo. Without a clear ideological foundation and a unified agenda that resonates with the broader electorate, such attempts are often perceived as mere political repositioning rather than genuine efforts to instigate meaningful change. In 2027, President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima will take the oath again for the second time, and El-Rufai will still have no political credibility to make a difference in Nigeria’s political circle.
