Arewa Youth Assembly reassures support to CDS Christopher Musa

By Suhaib Auwal

A coalition of youth and civil society groups in the North, led by the Arewa Youth Assembly for Good Leadership, has pledged its support for the Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Christopher Musa.

The coalition held a press briefing in Abuja on Saturday, where it praised President Bola Tinubu for appointing Musa, a native of Zangon Kataf in Kaduna State, as the leader of the nation's armed forces.

The speaker of the Arewa Youth Assembly, Ambassador Abdul Danbature, said that Musa's appointment was a sign of the president's commitment to fairness, justice and equity in sharing power among the six geopolitical zones of the country.

He also said that Musa's appointment was a recognition of his remarkable military career, which lasted over three decades and saw him serve in various roles, including as the commander of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) against Boko Haram terrorists.

Danbature expressed confidence that Musa would use his experience and professionalism to address the security challenges facing the country, especially the insurgency in the North-East, banditry in the North-West, and secessionist agitations in the South-East.

He urged the CDS to collaborate with the other service chiefs, the National Security Adviser, and the Minister of Defence, to ensure the restoration of peace and stability in the country.

He also called on the CDS to ensure the welfare and motivation of the soldiers, who are risking their lives to protect the nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

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

DISRESPECTING COURT ORDER REGARDING KANO EMIRATE CRISIS

By Dr. Usman Suleiman Sarki Law and order are the bedrock of harmonious living in every human society. This necessitated the establishment of judicial system responsible for the enforcement of law and order as well as the settlement of disputes between parties. One most important organ of the judiciary is the Court that determines cases brought before it using appropriate legal procedures. In an effort to ensure the proper discharge of its duties, the court gives order(s) to individuals, group, organizations/institutions and state mandating them to refrain or undertake an action before or after judgement. In line with the above, a federal high court sitting in Kano received a petition seeking for its intervention on matters relating Kano Emirate Crisis as the state House of Assembly passed a bill for the dissolution of the Five Emirates in the state where the court gives an order restraining the Kano state Governor from assenting a bill into and implementing the...
