ADAMU GARBA II: YOU CAN SUPPORT APC, BUT YOU CANNOT JUSTIFY APC, BECAUSE APC IS NOT YOUTH-FRIENDLY



By

Sule Sani Sule 



Adamu Garba is a elder Brother to me by age and struggle. I respect him a lot because of his knowledge and wisdom, I used to say sometimes back with youth like him Nigeria will experience the best economic reform because he is a digital young man, with the knowledge of world politics.


Adamu Garba says, and I quote “Our Dear Youth, do not despair. Based on what I see, APC has a far better deal to Nigerian youth than all other political parties combined. Be patient and bear with the situation, for now, let’s join hands to deliver APC in 2023 from bottom to top, insha Allah”


Malam Adamu Garba APC is not youth-friendly from day one, President Muhammad Buhari led Administration brought about" Not too young to run” theoretically but discourage it practically. If you can recall sir, the form of Youth leader in APC was N5, 000, 000, on a scale of 0-10 how many credible, knowledgeable youth can afford the above-mentioned. By experience, most qualified youth are not rich because they are not errand boys, and they don't play dirty games. 


Secondly, Malam Adamu Garba II you contested for the office of the President, the form was sold at the rate of N100, 000, 000, how do you expect a youth to afford such huge amount?, even Adamu Garba II asked for help and donations after so many complaints. 


Under a normal circumstances EFCC should arrest all the aspirant that purchase that forms excluding Jack Rich who is a successful Businessman. From that point, I realize that is not about Nigeria or Nigerians but rather investment.


Malam Adamu Garba II, I was a member of the APC then and Abdullahi Sidi Ali a friend of mine contested for National Youth Leader who later change to Zonal Youth Leader as a result of zoning, but I assure you no election was done at the convention ground. It was just mere intimidation and threat from Governors because youth are powerless. The person who was given our position cannot speak fluent English for 5 minutes, neither does he has any initiative to bring progress to the youth and party in general.


Today, Abdullahi Sidi Ali, Comrade Abdullahi Mukhtar Coma, Muhammad Aliyu Mijinyawa, Misbahu Ibrahim Bichi among others who have this party at heart and work tirelessly to ensure the success of the party are not even in any youth committee. Despite the oppression of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje who denied us the right to contest and forced our friend to withdraw with empty promises that has not been fulfilled. 


The money we purchase our form with was not refunded, and today you are telling us to support APC, for what. 


ASUU strike is also a point, a government that neglected the educational system and progress of the youth is the government you expect us to vote for, this is insane. 


My Brother I respect you a lot, but I assure you, when it comes to youth and APC no one, I repeat no one will tell us what is what. If you want to support them, go ahead, but you can never justify their actions. I advise you to lie low as many youths still respect you for your legacies.

Aisha Garba’s Bold Vision for Transforming Basic Education in Nigeria

By Suhaib Auwal   In a country where the foundational pillars of education have long been riddled with structural gaps, funding constraints, and policy inconsistencies, the recent leadership at the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) signals a renewed hope.  Since her appointment as the Executive Secretary of UBEC, Aisha Garba has embarked on a reformist mission that seeks not just to address the surface-level symptoms, but to cure the systemic ailments crippling Nigeria’s basic education sector. At the core of her vision is a comprehensive, inclusive, and technology-driven approach to strengthening basic education delivery. Her leadership style is not only proactive, but it also reflects a deep understanding of Nigeria's complex educational terrain.  With over 17 million children currently out of school, Garba has made it unequivocally clear: this figure is unacceptable, and she intends to drastically reduce it within the shortest possible time. A Three-Pronged V...

Kwankwasiyya Rubble-Rousing Short-Wave Politics

  By Aliyu Dalhatu Adamu Department of Sociology, Federal University of Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State. The construction of 85km rural roads was flagged-off by the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Monday 17th June 2024 at Madobi Local Government. The occasion afforded Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, an opportunity to ventilate his feelings on the forces in political contest in Kano State.  Many people believe that Kano is suffering great abuse in the tight grief of Kwankwaso as an alternate, if not the real, governor in his illegal Third Term. In his emotional outburst, the former Presidential candidate alluded to a number of issues, which many see as pointers to the inner workings of his mind, suggesting his political fortunes in the State are nose-diving or in the least taking a big hit. For instance, from the vituperations of Kwankwaso, one can easily understand that, the NNPP, as...
