Atiku: Nigeria’s Greatest Tragedy Is Leadership Not Worthy of Youth Talent

By Samuel Luka, Bauchi

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says Nigeria’s biggest problem is not a lack of talent among its young people, but a lack of leadership capable of harnessing it.

In a wide-ranging address to young Nigerians on Facebook, Atiku painted a picture of a generation of innovators, farmers, doctors and entrepreneurs “proving every day that the Nigerian spirit cannot be defeated,” but who are “trapped by poor leadership.”

“I see graduates searching endlessly for jobs that do not exist. I see entrepreneurs spending more money on diesel than on expanding their businesses. I see brilliant young people leaving Nigeria, not because they have stopped loving their country, but because they no longer believe their country loves them back,” he said.

Atiku said he dreams of a Nigeria “where electricity powers factories instead of generators, where talent matters more than tribe, and where hard work is rewarded.”

He traced his own history to student activism and the pro-democracy struggles of the 1990s, noting: “We did not have social media to amplify our voices. We organised. We debated. We mobilised. We marched. And sometimes, we ran from the police.”

The elder statesman said democracy must do more than hold elections. “Democracy must create opportunities. It must protect lives. It must reward enterprise,” he stated.

He challenged youths not to merely criticize bad leadership but to prepare to provide good leadership. “Do not merely demand a better Nigeria. Become the generation that builds it,” Atiku said.

Ending with a call to action, he said: “My generation has carried the baton this far. Today, with confidence and hope, I place that baton in your hands.”

"Prioritise People's Welfare Over Flyovers," Tinubu Tells Governors

By Mohammed kaka

Abuja, Nigeria — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on state governors across Nigeria to prioritise projects that directly improve the lives of citizens rather than investing heavily in what he described as unnecessary flyover construction.

The President urged governors to channel public resources into critical sectors such as security, healthcare, education, agriculture, job creation, and rural infrastructure, stressing that good governance should be measured by the positive impact it has on the lives of ordinary Nigerians.

According to President Tinubu, while roads, bridges, and other infrastructure remain important for economic development, governments must ensure that public spending addresses the most pressing needs of the people.

He emphasised that access to quality healthcare, functional schools, improved security, clean water, and employment opportunities should take precedence over projects that offer limited benefits to the wider population.

Tinubu noted that Nigerians expect leaders at all levels to deliver policies and programmes that enhance their quality of life, reduce poverty, and stimulate sustainable economic growth. He encouraged governors to adopt people-centred development strategies that promote inclusive growth and ensure prudent management of public funds.

The President also reiterated the need for greater collaboration between the Federal Government and state governments in implementing reforms aimed at strengthening the economy, improving social services, and expanding opportunities for citizens.

His remarks have sparked fresh debate over development priorities, with many analysts arguing that governments should focus on investments that generate lasting economic and social benefits rather than prestige projects with limited direct impact on the welfare of the people.

President Tinubu reaffirmed his administration's commitment to responsible governance, fiscal discipline, and policies designed to improve the living standards of Nigerians across the country.

"You’re Bitter Because I Stopped Your Third-Term Agenda" – Atiku Fires Back at Obasanjo, Says "History Cannot Be Rewritten"

By Mohammed Kaka

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has launched a strong response to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, accusing him of attempting to rewrite Nigeria's political history while insisting that their long-standing rift stemmed from his refusal to support an alleged third-term agenda.

In a statement addressing recent remarks by the former president, Atiku maintained that one of the defining moments of his political career was his decision to oppose any attempt to amend the Nigerian Constitution for personal political interests. He described his resistance to the proposed third-term bid as a courageous stand that helped safeguard the country's democracy.

According to Atiku, his opposition to the agenda created a deep political divide between him and Obasanjo, a disagreement that has continued to shape their relationship over the years.

The former vice president also reflected on his role in Nigeria's democratic transition, claiming that he played a significant part in rebuilding Obasanjo's political career after the former military leader's release from prison. Atiku said he worked tirelessly to mobilise political support for Obasanjo ahead of the 1999 presidential election, which ultimately brought him to power.

"I have no regrets about supporting him because I believed it was in the national interest," Atiku said, adding that historical facts should not be distorted or ignored for political convenience.

He further stated that his decision to remain silent over the years should never be interpreted as weakness, stressing that there comes a time when the truth must be placed on public record.

Atiku argued that while political leaders may hold differing views about past events, history remains objective and cannot be altered to suit personal narratives. He urged Nigerians to remain committed to protecting democratic institutions and constitutional governance.

The former vice president also called on the nation's political elite to shift attention from personal disputes and historical controversies to the pressing issues confronting Nigerians, including economic hardship, rising inflation, unemployment, insecurity, and the need for policies that improve citizens' welfare.

The exchange between the two prominent political figures has reignited public debate over the events surrounding Nigeria's controversial third-term saga and the political tensions that characterised the Obasanjo administration.

Political observers say the renewed war of words underscores the enduring influence of both leaders in Nigeria's political landscape as discussions about the country's democratic history and future governance continue to dominate national discourse.

The Obasanjo-Atiku feud is back in full force. A genuine fight for Nigeria's soul, or just an "election-year scapegoat" ritual?

By John Habila Murai

The political rivalry between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar is one of the most defining and enduring feuds in modern Nigerian politics.

The relationship evolved from close allies to bitter enemies, flaring up again recently.

THE MAJOR FLASH POINTS.

It is no longer news that Alh Atiku Abubakar deputized former president Olusequn Obasanjo for eight years 1999 to 2007.

(Early 2000s): The trust broke down during their first term when Atiku allegedly backed a move to impeach Obasanjo.

Atiku reportedly gave Speaker Ghali Na'Abba ₦5 million to initiate the process as alledged recently by former president Olusequn Obasanjo.

Obasanjo claims this was confirmed by intelligence .

The 2003 "Kneel Down": Atiku was powerful enough to secure the support of PDP governors against Obasanjo's re-election. The President had to kneel before Atiku and the governors to secure their backing for a joint ticket in 2003.

He never forgave this humiliation and sought revenge after winning .

THIRD-TERM BID (2006):

The third term bid of former president Olusequn Obasanjo supported by his cabinet and spearhead by the likes of former deputy Senate President late Sen Nasiru Ibrahim Mantu where billions of naira was expended is also another defining moment and rift that still lingers up to today between the duo.

The fatal rupture occurred when Atiku opposed Obasanjo’s unconstitutional attempt to extend his tenure . Atiku proudly calls his resistance a "badge of honour" , while Obasanjo sees it as the ultimate betrayal.

Atiku frequently reminds everyone that he supported Obasanjo during his imprisonment under Abacha, clothed and cared for him after his release, and helped build the alliances that led to his presidency( in fact his contributions in the alliance that metamorphose into PDP and funding the campaign council at that time gave him the Vice Presidential slot after winning the Adamawa state Governorship seat).

He claims Obasanjo is ungrateful .

Former President Obasanjo recently reignited the feud, calling Atiku his "greatest mistake" . Atiku fired back, accusing Obasanjo of bitterness over the failed third-term bid and attempting to rewrite history .

Majorly former President Obasanjo usually ignite this fight to smear the good image of his former vice before the eyes of reasonable and right thinking Nigerians ahead of every election window.

His Excellency former President Obasanjo is regarded as the father of the nation due to his valuable contributions towards ensuring that Nigeria remains one indivisible country even during Military regime as he took over as Nigeria's Head of state after the assassination of Gen Murtala Ramat up to the time he ruled as a civilian.

Likewise his former vice Alh Atiku Abubakar has continued to contribute his quota towards sustaining democracy and democratic values in Nigeria.

As elderstatesmen, Both leaders must forgive each other, forget the past and wear the armor of the patriotism they are known for to enable upcoming leaders and politicians emulate for sustainable growth and development.

Saraki to Commission Landmark ICT Centre Built by Hon. Usman Adamu Ahmed Suphi in Azare

By Mohammed Kaka

Private-sector investment aims to empower youths with digital skills, innovation, and entrepreneurship across Bauchi State and North-East Nigeria.

Former President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, is set to commission a state-of-the-art Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre built by Hon. Usman Adamu Ahmed Suphi in Azare, Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

The ICT Centre is being described as one of the largest privately owned digital innovation and technology hubs in North-East Nigeria. The facility was established to promote digital literacy, technological innovation, entrepreneurship, and skills development among young people, equipping them with the knowledge required to compete in today's rapidly evolving digital economy.

The project reflects Hon. Suphi's commitment to youth empowerment through education and technology. The centre is designed to provide world-class ICT training, professional certification opportunities, innovation support, and practical digital skills that will prepare young people for careers in software development, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital marketing, data analysis, and other emerging technology sectors.

Beyond serving the people of Azare and Katagum, the ICT Centre is expected to become a regional hub for learning, research, innovation, and collaboration, attracting students, entrepreneurs, technology professionals, and start-up businesses from across Bauchi State and the North-East.

Development experts have commended the initiative, noting that investments in digital infrastructure and technology education are essential for reducing youth unemployment, encouraging entrepreneurship, improving economic productivity, and supporting Nigeria's transition to a knowledge-driven and technology-based economy.

The commissioning ceremony, to be performed by Dr. Bukola Saraki, is expected to attract political leaders, government officials, traditional rulers, business executives, education stakeholders, youth organisations, and members of the ICT community. The event is widely regarded as a significant milestone in Bauchi State's digital transformation agenda and a strong demonstration of how private-sector investment can complement government efforts in human capital development.

Observers believe the project will inspire similar initiatives across the country, while reinforcing the importance of investing in education, innovation, and digital technology as key drivers of sustainable development and national economic growth.

PROFESSOR WHO SELLS TOMATOES GOES VIRAL, INSPIRES NIGERIANS WITH POWERFUL LESSON ON DIGNITY OF LABOUR

By Mohammed Kaka

Professor Nasir Hassan Wagini has become a source of inspiration across Nigeria after demonstrating that academic excellence and entrepreneurship can successfully coexist.
Despite attaining the prestigious rank of professor, Wagini continues to operate a local market stall where he sells soup ingredients such as tomatoes, peppers, onions, and other food items. His commitment to honest business has earned him widespread admiration and sparked conversations about the dignity of labour.

Photos and videos of the professor attending to customers at his stall have gone viral on social media, attracting praise from Nigerians who describe him as humble, hardworking, and a shining example of integrity. Many have commended him for proving that no legitimate business is beneath anyone, regardless of educational qualifications or professional status.

His story has also reignited discussions on youth unemployment, entrepreneurship, and economic self-reliance. Analysts say Professor Wagini's example sends a strong message to graduates and young professionals that success is not defined solely by white-collar employment, but by the willingness to engage in productive and lawful ventures.

In a country where unemployment remains a major challenge, many believe his actions reflect the values of resilience, innovation, and self-sufficiency. Rather than relying entirely on a salaried position, the professor has embraced entrepreneurship as an additional source of livelihood while maintaining his academic career.

Public affairs observers note that Professor Wagini's example aligns with ongoing national efforts to encourage skills development, small-scale enterprise, and economic empowerment. His story underscores the importance of promoting entrepreneurship as a practical solution to unemployment and poverty, while reinforcing the principle that every honest means of earning a living deserves respect.

As his story continues to trend nationwide, Professor Nasir Hassan Wagini is being celebrated not only as an accomplished academic but also as a symbol of humility, hard work, and the enduring dignity of labour. His remarkable example serves as an inspiration for Nigerians from all walks of life, reminding them that education and enterprise are partners in building sustainable livelihoods and a stronger economy.

APC Suffers Major Blow in Bauchi as Danmaliki Defects to PRP, Backs Shehu Buba for 2027

By Samuel Luka,
Bauchi

The All Progressives Congress, APC, suffered a major setback in Bauchi State on Saturday as Hon. Aminu Mohammed Danmaliki, a former Commissioner, federal lawmaker and prominent party chieftain, resigned and joined the People’s Redemption Party, PRP.

Danmaliki announced his defection at Majidadi B Ward in Bauchi during a gathering of PRP leaders, elders, women, youths, among other stakeholders.

“Today is not simply about changing political parties. It is about choosing principles over convenience, conviction over comfort, and the people over power,” he said.

The former member of the House of Representatives said the decision followed careful reflection, sincere consultation, and prayerful consideration.

He added that he was leaving the APC without bitterness or malice, but out of concern for the hardship facing ordinary Nigerians.

“Across our nation, millions of families struggle daily to feed themselves. Young graduates roam our streets searching for opportunities that never come. Farmers work hard but harvest uncertainty,” Danmaliki said.

According to him, “Government was never created to make life harder for the people. Government exists to protect, empower, and uplift the people.”

He described the PRP as “an idea” and “a commitment that public office is a sacred trust,” citing the party’s focus on social justice, honest public service, quality education, affordable healthcare, rural development and accountability as reasons for joining the party.

Danmaliki has served as a journalist, Bauchi State Commissioner, lawmaker, entrepreneur, and currently the President of the Bauchi Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, and founder of educational and healthcare institutions.

He pledged to deploy that experience to build the PRP in the state.

A major highlight of his declaration was his endorsement of Senator Shehu Buba, the PRP’s governorship candidate for the 2027 election.

“I am honoured that my friend and brother, Senator Shehu Buba, has accepted the responsibility of carrying the PRP banner in the 2027 governorship election in Bauchi State,” he said.

“I know him as a man of courage, vision, and commitment. His aspiration is not merely about winning an election. It is about building a government that works for every citizen.” Danmaliki added.

“I therefore pledge, without reservation, to devote my experience, relationships, and strength to ensuring that the People’s Redemption Party succeeds in Bauchi State,” stated.

Danmaliki called on youths, women, farmers, artisans, traders, and traditional and religious leaders to join the movement, saying it “belongs to the people.”

“Let us debate ideas, not insults. Let us build bridges, not walls. Let us replace politics of division with politics of development, and empty promises with measurable performance,” he said.

He noted that Bauchi has vast potential in agriculture, human capital and mineral resources, but lacks purposeful leadership and consistent implementation of people-centred policies.

Closing with a call for unity, Danmaliki said: “Let us rise together not as APC members, not as PDP members, not as people divided by tribe or religion, but as Nigerians determined to reclaim the promise of our nation.

"By the grace of Almighty Allah, together we shall redeem Bauchi State, together we shall help redeem Nigeria.”

PRP officials present described Danmaliki’s defection as a significant boost ahead of 2027, citing his grassroots network and record in public service and business in Bauchi.

Shock in Bauchi APC as Giade LGA Secretary Resigns, Dumps Party

By Mohammed Kaka

Giade, Bauchi State – The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Giade Local Government Area has suffered a significant political setback following the resignation of its Local Government Secretary, Yusuf Muhammad Baba, who has also announced his withdrawal from the party.

In a resignation letter dated August 1, 2026, and addressed to the APC Ward Chairman in Giade, Yusuf Muhammad Baba formally resigned from his position as APC Giade Local Government Secretary and terminated his membership of the party with immediate effect.

The former party official stated that his decision came after careful reflection and extensive consultations, stressing that it was reached in good faith and without ill will.

Expressing gratitude to the APC leadership and members, Yusuf acknowledged the opportunity given to him to serve both the party and the people of Giade Local Government Area. He also appreciated the encouragement, cooperation, and support he received throughout his time in office.

"I wish to formally notify you of my resignation as Secretary of APC Giade Local Government and my withdrawal of membership from the APC with effect from August 1, 2026. This decision follows deep reflection and extensive consultations," the letter stated.

Although the resignation letter did not disclose his next political destination or the specific reasons behind his decision, political observers believe the development could signal fresh political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections in Bauchi State.

The resignation is expected to generate widespread reactions within the APC, particularly in Giade Local Government, where party leaders are working to consolidate their structures in preparation for the upcoming elections.

Analysts say the exit of a key party official at this stage of the political season may influence grassroots mobilization and could trigger further defections if not swiftly addressed by the party leadership.

As of the time of filing this report, the APC leadership in Giade Local Government had not issued an official statement regarding Yusuf Muhammad Baba's resignation.
