NAPPS elects new executive in Yobe.

By: Yahaya Wakili

The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) Potiskum local government chapter, Yobe State, has elected its executives to run the affairs of the association for four years.

Mallam Mohammed Sambo Adam, proprietor of Women’s Day Academy, emerged as the new chairman of the association with a total of 54 votes, while the other positions were elected unopposed.

Speaking to journalists shortly after the election, the new chairman, Mallam Mohammed Sambo Adam, said today is the most amazing day of his life because over 104 proprietors came out massively to cast their votes for him.

He called on the contestants for the chairmanship and let them come together to promote the association. Whenever the need arises, we are going to unite the both of them so that we can bring development to this great association. This association potiskum chapter will be an example for the national level, by the grace of Almighty Allah.

“My priority is to reshape the gap between the executive and the members of this great association, because there is some gap, so we wanted to fill that gap.” he added.

“We wanted to join hands with the Yobe state ministry of education to bring development to private schools, particularly in Potiskum local government. There is something that comes from government.

“His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni has declared a state of emergency on education here in Yobe State; therefore, we are going to join hands with the Yobe State government in order to see that we have achieved the aim of promoting education across the state,” Adam said.

He used this opportunity to call on non-governmental organizations, particularly UNICEF, for those involved in education. We need intervention because some of our private schools need it. A proprietor can start establishing a private school; he needs intervention for infrastructure, classrooms, tables, and others.

Mallam Mohammed Sambo Adam also called on other non-governmental organizations in Yobe State and the whole of Nigeria to let them come to Potiskum, because it is only Potiskum that has the highest number of private schools in the state.

KOGI YOUTHS CALL ANTI-AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN’S CAMPAIGNERS ENEMIES OF DEMOCRACY

· URGE NIGERIANS TO IGNORE ODODO, FANWO

· MOVE TO PREVENT KOGI CENTRAL SENATOR’S FOES FROM COMMITTING SUICIDE

By: Michael Mike

Youths in Kogi Central on Friday pounced on the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr Kingsley Fanwo.

‘’The comments made by Kingsley Fanwo are offensive, bigoted and disgusting’’

They also described Governor Ododo as ‘’a man who can’t stand on his own feet without crutches.

‘‘Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo and Yahaya Adoza Bello ought to know that in a contest at the grassroots level, they have not the ghost of a chance to win in Kogi Central’’

The youths in a statement in Okene advised Fanwo to tame his appetite for falsehood against Akpoti-Uduaghan.

‘’Kogi Central constituents represent a variety of viewpoints and temperaments. The home coming of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan shows how faithful the Kogi Central people are to the true spirit of democracy and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’’.

The statement issued by Kogi Central Youth Forum Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Jato scolded Fanwo for penciling a chit to the public, insulting civilization and presenting a shrouded and remote figure at the peak of an unintelligent bureaucracy as a responsible person.

‘’Nothing is more important for a politician than to command the necessary abundance of understanding and loyalty on the part of the people’’

They described the Ododo government as a model of poor administration.

‘’Kingsley Fanwo’s comments on Akpoti-Uduaghan are distasteful and provocative. The APC leaders in Kogi State are officious people. They need to imbibe the values and ideals of civilization and democracy’’.

Specifically, the youths applauded the Kogi Central senator for her patriotism, leadership style and tactful politesse.

‘’The senate president is not a person. It is an institution. Senator Godswill Akpabio should not jeopardize the institution’’

They denounced the absurd idea that Akpoti-Uduaghan’s home coming was to create crisis in the state.

The youths added that the future of Nigeria, particularly Kogi State lay with politicians who realized that the people are more interested in government than politics.

‘’We urge the public not to pay attention to what the Commissioner for Information and Communication is saying’’

The statement stressed Akpoti-Uduaghan’s simplicity, personal charm, courage and bubbling nature.

‘’Our task is to prevent those behind Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension and recall from committing suicide’’
