HARNESSING YOUTH POWER: HARUNA SARDAUNA'S STRATEGIC ROLE IN GOVERNOR BUNI'S ADMINISTRATION

By Hon. Sambo Kakawa

In a remarkable display of strategic political maneuvering, Hon. Haruna Sardauna has emerged as a key player in Governor Mai Mala Buni's administration. His efforts to secure political appointments for youths in Yobe South have not only promoted inclusivity but also rewarded loyalty, thereby strengthening the administration's grassroots support.

During the holy month of Ramadan, Haruna Sardauna further demonstrated his commitment to youth empowerment by supporting 500 Yobe zone B youths with N20,000 each and gifting 50 Tecno smartphones to Buni Media Reporters. This gesture has been widely appreciated, encouraging youths to continue promoting Governor Buni's administration.

Analysts believe that Haruna Sardauna's initiatives have significantly benefited Governor Buni's administration. "His efforts have enhanced the governor's popularity among youths and grassroots supporters," said a political analyst. "By rewarding loyalty and mobilizing grassroots support, Haruna Sardauna has ensured continued allegiance to the administration."

The appointments of Yobe south youths in different position are seen as a testament to Haruna Sardauna's influence. These appointments have generated positive publicity, further enhancing Governor Buni's reputation.

As Governor Buni looks to consolidate his administration's gains, Haruna Sardauna's role is likely to remain crucial. His ability to harness youth power and mobilize grassroots support will be vital in shaping the political landscape of Yobe South.

In conclusion, Haruna Sardauna's strategic efforts have not only promoted youth empowerment but also strengthened Governor Buni's administration. As the administration moves forward, it will be interesting to see how Haruna Sardauna continues to play a key role in shaping the political narrative in Yobe South.

The MMB Reporters and Daga Buni Loyalty Movement are alarmed by the escalating trends of threatenings, harassments, intimidations, and illegal Prosecutions of their members in Yobe South. We have compelling evidence that almost during every Buni loyalty political engagement, our team members do faces different threatenings, molestations and confrontations and it is clear of any daubt that politicians are behind the misuse of security personnel and the judiciary to silence our members tactically.

Increasingly in the trends of this challenges, we currently have six ongoing cases against our members all of which we believe are politically motivated with a complex political interest. At different time, our members have been subjected to arbitrary arrests, detention, and trumped-up charges.

We urge the relevant authorities to take immediate action to address these grievances and ensure that our members are treated fairly and justly. We demand that the politicians behind these acts of persecution be held accountable for their actions.

We appeal to the general public, human rights organizations, and the international community to join us in condemning these acts of persecution. We will continue to shed light on these injustices and advocate for the rights of our members.

GOV. BUNI'S MENTORSHIP LEGACY: Inspiring Young Leaders in Yobe State.

By Haruna Sardauna

As Chairman of the Northeast APC Youth Stakeholders Forum, I am thrilled to commend Governor Mai Mala Buni's visionary approach to mentorship and leadership development. By appointing over 50 vibrant youths as focal persons across various sectors, Governor Buni has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders.

This bold move is a testament to Governor Buni's inclusive leadership style, which prioritizes youth participation and fosters innovation. By giving young minds a chance to contribute to decision-making processes, Governor Buni is not only strengthening governance in Yobe State but also unlocking the hidden talents of its youth.

As his Senior Special Assistant (SSA) during his first tenure. His mentorship and guidance played a significant role in shaping my political career. When I sought his permission to lead the Northeast youth in 2022, he not only granted it but also provided invaluable guidance on navigating national politics. His support went beyond mere permission; he backed me with resources, including an official car and sufficient funding to run the affairs of the forum. This level of support and trust speaks volumes about his commitment to empowering young leaders.

As the closest youngest politician to Governor Mai Mala Buni, I've had the privilege of learning from his exceptional leadership and mentorship style. Governor Buni's commitment to empowering young leaders is truly inspiring, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work under his guidance.

One of the key lessons I've learned from Governor Buni is the importance of inclusivity and youth participation in governance. As someone who has had the opportunity to work closely with him, I can attest to his unique approach to mentorship. Working under Governor Buni's leadership has been a transformative experience. I've learned invaluable lessons in political pragmatism and strategic maneuvering. What sets him apart as a mentor is his unique approach. He doesn't just provide guidance; he empowers you with the skills and knowledge to navigate the complexities of politics.

Unlike others, Governor Buni's mentorship is characterized by an open-minded and inclusive approach. He doesn't just give you the answers; he teaches you how to think critically and find solutions. His mantra is not "here, take this fish," but rather "let me show you how to swim and catch your own fish." This empowering mindset has not only helped me grow as a politician but also instilled in me a sense of self-reliance and confidence."

I urge other Northeast governors to take a cue from Governor Buni's mentorship style and prioritize youth empowerment in their respective states. By doing so, we can collectively build a more prosperous, inclusive, and progressive region that harnesses the energy and creativity of its young people.

Governor Buni's approach to leadership is a shining example of how to drive positive change and promote sustainable development. His commitment to youth empowerment is a testament to his vision for a brighter future, where young people are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to lead and make a meaningful impact.

As we celebrate Governor Buni's leadership and mentorship, let us also recognize the immense potential of our youth. Let us work together to create opportunities for them to grow, learn, and thrive. By doing so, we can build a better future for ourselves, our children, and our communities.

Kudos to Governor Buni for setting the pace in youth empowerment! Thanks for the leadership and mentorship.

MMB Reporters 26th January, 2025.

Damaturu - Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to supporting the Nigerian Army in its quest to end insurgency in the state.

During a courtesy visit by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Olufemi Olatubosun Oluyede, at the Government House in Damaturu, Governor Buni praised the military's efforts in securing the state.

"The people of Yobe State are now able to move freely and pursue their legitimate businesses without fear, thanks to the improved security situation," Governor Buni said.

He noted that the relative peace enjoyed in the state had enabled his administration to execute its policies and programs aimed at improving the lives of the people.

However, Governor Buni called for increased patrol along the borders to prevent the infiltration of insurgents, who often target soft and isolated targets.

Earlier, the Chief of Army Staff assured Governor Buni of the army's commitment to ending insurgency and banditry in Nigeria.

"It is my personal ambition to see the end of this menace as quickly as possible," Lt. Gen. Oluyede said. "I call on our political leaders and Nigerians to support us in achieving this goal."

The Chief of Army Staff, who had previously served in Yobe State, pledged to deploy his knowledge and experience to help bring an end to insurgency in the state.
