APC Supporters Emotional: Emotions Must Be High Because That Is What Truth Does to People.

1. The SUBI project is an alternative platform aimed to deliver genuine development to our people and to tackle Poverty, Hunger, Ignorance and Diseases (PHID). We are loyal to democratic core values. We believe that democracy must improve people’s lives! We have taken our time to set out our directions, and by now many people have a clear picture of what we represent. The SUBI has its plans and its strategies which are heavily guarded, and it will never be distracted by the actions of those who are scared of what the influence of SUBI does to their political agenda.

2. We are very clear that our approach to politics is a new one and that it may render the core supports of the ruling party and the main opposition very uncomfortable, because they never experienced or expected that they will be attended to fiercely and fearlessly.
Some of our writings are making some of them needlessly emotional. We know that emotions must be high, because that is what truth does to people standing at the opposite side. However, we are surprised that as early as January, 2021 their panic buttons have already been triggered. We have received numerous insults and inappropriate remarks from some of the youth who are subjected to political exploitation. We never supported anyone calling those youth bad names, because themselves are victims of PHID. Some of them are particularly offended by the SUBI’s audacity to attend to their godfathers who are mostly paid senior media aides of the governor. We know that tackling an incumbent head-to-head is itself novel approach in Yobe political culture, but we believed that no political leader is fairly untouchable.
We have said it many times that we will be respectful and fair in our response, but that does not mean that we will lower the standard of the challenge. We can assure that we will heat the political space, and the ruling party must learn that we must talk to or debate each other robustly, just get used to it.

3. It is worrying that in Yobe, the youth in general and the educated of them in particular, have been rendered incapable of understanding the extend of the underdevelopment and mess in Yobe.
Their entrepreneurial energy has been squeezed out of them, and have been made to believe in the cosmetic successes of the ruling party. We are out to change this narrative by being patient and making them aware of the truth, especially by unveiling the truth whenever the government’s paid media aides set out to mislead our people. Keeping quiet at this moment of failure is not a luxury we can afford. Since our people are deliberately left to suffer PHID, we no longer have choice but to engage and change the narratives by using all lawful tactics we saw fit.

Allah ya tsaya mana, Amin.

Dear Yobe Government,

You and your writers’ club, both paid-for and unpaid, please feed the good people of Yobe with only Reliable and Valid information. Just to educate you, RELIABLE information is that which is trusted and consistent, and VALID information is that which is logical and in the correct context.

Any deviation from this standard, SUBI will challenge you inch-by-inch, honestly, truthfully, fearlessly and with trust in God against your malicious intents.

SUBI – Welfare for All.

WE CAN'T KEEP QUIET AND ALLOW THIS SECTIONALISM AND NEPOTISM TO CONTINUE IN OUR STATE YOBE.

TO OUR NOBLE ABLE GOVERNOR BUNI.

Your Excellency,

With regards to the recent released names of the successful candidate in TSB, We are deeply annoyed and disturbed, because the names released as those who succeeded in the TSB recruitment differs mostly from the list of those who attended interview. Those genuine candidates have wasted their time, money and energy to come all the ways from their respective local government to attend interview but they were replaced. Those candidate deserves justice sir.

Nonetheless, Sir as you promised to revamp education sector in Yobe State and ensure teachers are qualified to teach. What TSB did yesterday signifies that, your efforts is sabotage day by day. As those you delegate to ensure your aim of revamping education in Yobe State, as they accept candidate from some influenced politicians in Yobe.

Moreover, this injustice has left the real candidates frustrated and angered, because their names are replace with the other candidates that are from silver spoon families and those who knows some politicians. I even had a conversation with someone who confirmed to my that he knows someone who their legislator gave his name, and he told him he will not come and collect the appointment as he is not interested in teaching.

Finally, please Governor as we attested you are not selective or nepotistic in nature, we urged you to terminate this list of so called successful candidate and set a strong committee to investigate into this matter for justice to reign.

Thank you,
Abdulmalik Auwal Gashu'a,
Yobe State.

Re: I know Governor Mai Malah did not mean three days in a month, because I was there. .. We can hold opinions, but we must not abuse our audience!

Mallam Hassan Gimba has recently found reason to amplify that which he believed to be a ‘mistake’ by his friend, Mai Mala Buni. He tried to force a point that dwelled towards ‘sabad da baka’ in Hausa. We believe that Mallam Hassan has the right to his views but we do also have the right to disagree with him. What Mallam Hassan thought to be ‘sabad da baka’ is actually an afterthought ‘fargan jaji’ of a sort. We would have taken this seriously if Mamman Mohamed or Isa Sunusi were the authors of this claim. The duo are on the payroll of Mai Mala Buni to do his public cosmetics and cover his weakness. We will reserve some of our points until they are out.

Mallam Hassan cannot be correct to place Mai Mala Buni behind Muhammad Buhari as being the second most influential. We thought Mallam Hassan has already been recognised and there could be no reason for this classical display of ‘wanting to belong’. In contrast to Muhammadu Buhari, Mai Mala Buni has not been know to any training Institution above Secondary education in his lifetime (check the INEC 2019 list of gubernatorial candidates if in doubt) he is unknown to the civil or public service at state or federal level, and he is unknown to run any successful business, trade, or firm. Where on earth could he have gotten the ‘Guts’? Perhaps, Mallam Hassan has been ironic or have coined a novel definition of the term ‘Guts’. We believe that no one could actually and reasonably ‘hate’ Mai Mala Buni’s political sagacity. History shows that Mai Mala Buni has jumped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and blackmailed the ACN and moved to the All Nigerian People Party (ANPP). Mai Mala Buni’s growth in the APC can purely be credited to ‘godfatherism’. And, there is nothing spectacular about being favoured by an institutionalised ‘godfatherism’. If Mallam Hassan Gimba could succumb and forgets so easily how Mai Malah Buni emerged at the APC Primaries in 2018, Mallam Umar Ali and Alhaji Aji Kolomi cannot. Mallam Hassan must know that he lives in his own dreams alone, because there are no those who ‘hate’ with passion in Yobe. But, if he deemed those who voiced out against the current administration’s failure are haters, then so be it.

On the assignment of duties to the so-called ‘capable hands’, Mallam Hassan must be educated enough to know that in the state system, the single point of failure is the chief executive. Can’t Mallam Hassan see how some of the best brains in Mai Mala Buni’s team are relegated to mere ‘Yes-men’? We cannot understand what is Mallam Hassan’s logic of comparing Yobe to Borno State in terms of IGR? Is he out to mislead or to improve his rating within the Mai Mala Buni’s camp? Borno State that is barely breathing (due to the insurgency problems) must not be taken into any realistic metric of comparison. But, Mallam Hassan must not lower the threshold of expectations.

We will leave the kamfanin Algarara and other industries claim to lay low for now. Mallam Hassan must be brave to inform his friend Mai Mala Buni that leadership is about accountability, prudence and responsibility. Outlook such as that of Mallam Hassan can only thrive because the opposition parties (like the PDP) have become a sort of ‘Boys Scout’ or ‘NURTW’. The modern markets and trailer parks are said to be funded through a dangerous ‘borrowing’ and pursued in towns where pipe-borne water, schools, and hospitals are in a devastating state. For example, Gashua is been flooded, Ari Kime primary school Potiskum is outstretched nearly to get into the Guinness Book of Record, and the General Hospital Potiskum is for a very long time outstretched. We cannot easily understand why Mallam Hassan Gimba is so impressed by poor quality and is so comfortable with failure.

Mallam Hassan should have been humble to restrict the claim ‘Yobe people are happy with him so far’ to himself or as an experienced writer who recently bagged an ‘honorary’ Doctorate could have said ‘some Yobe people are...’. We strongly disagree with Mallam as to Mai Malah Buni being about the best governor Yobe state had. Why are some people always tend to blow the Trumpet for the incumbent? Is Mallam Hassan saying that Mai Mala Buni has outperformed his godfather, Ibrahim Geidam? However, we agree that Mai Malah Buni has been a gentle and cool headed person who does not, at the moment, take pleasure in political brutality or victimisation of political opponents. But this qualities has nothing to do with the ability to dispense effective leadership and deliver ‘genuine’ development. Again, Mallam Hassan needs to be reminded that Yobe has produced politicians like Lates Alhaji Waziri Ibahim, Alhaji Hassan Yusuf Khalifah, Mallam Adamu Chiroma, etc.

We are open to debate this further should Mallam Hassan wanted to engage on this. Our best wishes are with Mallam Hassan Gimba and Mai Mala Buni.

We can hold opinions, but must not abuse our audience.

MAI MALA BUNI :GREAT EXPECTATIONS,DISAPPOINTING OTCOMES
"A governor that is still on vacation one after election is not ready to serve "

When the current governor of Yobe state Mai mala buni was sworn in on the 29th may 2019 ,there was a huge relief and expectations of greater things to come ,the people of the state celebrated and they have the right to do so ,after 10 years of dictatorial style of leadership by Ibrahim gaidam ,Mai mala was presented as someone who have the heart to accommodate everyone,we thought we will see a new Yobe ,our expectations were high,but one year after we are witnessing a disappointing outcome.

Months after taking office, the governing party APC was engulfed in crisis,and the governor was called for a rescue mission,he left the state without the permission of Yobe state citizens and took an assignment that was not part of his oath,Mai mala buni took an oath to serve the people of Yobe state not APC ,if APC collapses as a party it's not going to affect us as a state ,but the failure of Mai mala buni to stay foot and address the daunting challenges of the state will directly affect the citizens of Yobe .
Mai mala buni hardly spends good five (5) days in Yobe ,during a recent BBC Hausa program (A fada a ciki) the governor himself admitted that he spends only three (3) to four (4) days in the state in a month,then who can a governor pilot the affairs of his with this kind of lackadaisical attitude,the governor took an oath to serve Yobe people not APC ,
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR WHERE THE GOVERNOR DECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCY?
Till today ,some Yobe students are conducting their classes under three ,there's no good remuneration for teachers,no incentive,the state is now in a comatose status because Mai mala has refused to settle done and address the pressing issues facing his state ,Mai mala buni attend the state executive council only once in a month,critical decision and tons of files await the governor approval but his no where to be found because he's busy in Abuja trying to serve Apc.

Mai Mala Buni should also knows that not all Yobe citizens are members of the ruling APC, he should come and stay in damaturu to face the daunting challenges facing Yobe ,he should take a clue from his counterpart in Bornos state professor zulum he hardly leaves maiduguri,but the tax payers of Yobe are funding the expenses of mai mala buni adventure to Abuja ,he should not listen to those that are praising him,and we should also avoid viewing Yobe state from our privileged position.We do hope governor mai mala buni will comeback to damaturu and face his business,if those at the helm of affairs in Apc will not settle issues in their party let the party collapses like the pack of cards it's not our problem. COME BACK HOME 🏡
