The new chairman of Karai-Karai in politics in Yobe State, Alhaji Adamu Abdu Chillariye, has called on his people to unite themselves and support the present administration in the state under the able leadership of Governor Mai Mala Buni CON, CONM.
Alhaji Adamu Chillariye, the former state chairman of APC and now the adviser on governmental affairs, disclosed this in an interview with Newsng shortly after receiving the Karai-Karai delegations from Gujba and Gulani local government areas while paying him a congratulations visit in Potiskum.
He said the Karai-Karai peoples from Potiskum, Nangere, Fika, and Fune local government areas elected him as the chairman in politics in Yobe state, adding that leadership is not easy, and despite the challenges to it, he will try his best to see that justice prevails and is done among his people.
The former APC chairman appealed to Karai-Karai first: let us be patient with each other, unite ourselves, live in peace with our neighbors, and give our maximum support and cooperation to His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni CON, as well as support his policies and programs of his administration.
Chillariye calls on them to engage in business and skills acquisitions to be self-reliant. Don’t depend solely on politics; try to engage yourself in business no matter how small it is. Adding that, I will do my best to draw the attention of our business moguls to assist our children who get the admission but don’t have the means to pay the school fees.
“You know, leadership is very difficult, but I will try my best and call on the people that I am a human being like everybody. If I make a mistake, please draw my attention and tell me the truth. Nobody is above making a mistake, and in my life, I don’t want to lie. Always tell me the truth no matter how painful it is; I would know how to handle it. Inshallah,” he said.
He emphasizes his calls for unity and patience among ourselves, and therefore let us support His Excellency, the Executive Governor Mai Mala Buni CON Chiroman Gujba, and also let us wait until what Governor Mai Mala Buni will tell us to do.

Troops have thwarted a coordinated multi-pronged terrorist assault on positions in Kukawa after a prolonged overnight battle supported by air strikes.
Military sources said the attackers, mounted on gun trucks, motorcycles and on foot, launched the assault from multiple directions late on Feb. 20.
Troops mounted a determined defence, engaging the insurgents in intense combat that lasted into the early hours of Feb. 21 before forcing them to withdraw while dragging away casualties.
Air strikes later destroyed one gun truck and several motorcycles carrying fleeing fighters, neutralising additional terrorists.
During follow-up exploitation, troops recovered 13 AK-47 rifles, 16 loaded magazines, three handheld radios, and other items believed to have been used by the attackers, as well as evidence of casualties evacuated by the group.
One soldier was killed during the encounter, while some equipment was damaged by rocket fire. Injured personnel were evacuated and are reported to be in stable condition.
Military authorities said the coordinated operations demonstrated sustained pressure on insurgent elements and continued efforts to degrade their combat capability across the theatre.
