SULE GARO WELCOMES MAULUD, URGES LEADER TO ACT ON LIVING CONDITION

Former deputy governorship candidate in Kano State, Alhaji Murtala Sule Garo has joined Muslim faithful in Nigeria to mark the Eid-el-Maulud.

12 Rabi Ul Awwal is the date on which Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was born and it's celebrated by Muslims across the globe, as Islamic school children read and sing to celebrate his virtues.

Murtala Sule Garo urged all Muslims to use the occasion to reflect on the virtues of Islam as exemplified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), including showing love for one’s neighbour, patience, honesty, empathy, kindness and generosity, etc.

Garo sympathized with Nigeria over the high cost of living in the country.

He said the primary responsibility of every government is the protection of life and property, urging leaders at all levels to come up with urgent interventions to ease the suffering in their states and the country at large.

Garo said, “Economic policies that will ensure material well-being of the poor, vulnerable as well as working people should be the priority of every government.

“Governments must create a favorable economic atmosphere for businesses to thrive. Job creation and employment opportunities for our teeming youth is necessary.

“The issue of almajiri is critical. Intervention that will better their lives and lift them off the street is vital at this moment.

“I urge Muslims to use Maulud gatherings to intensify prayers for stability and economic well-being.”

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.
