AKY UNDER FIRE FOR APPOINTING NEPHEW TO HEAD AN AGENCY

Appointment of Governor's Nephew to Head an Agency Met with Criticism - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji 

The issue of nepotism in governance is a long-standing problem that has plagued many societies. Whenever public officials prioritize their personal interests over the public good and appoint their family members to important positions of power, it creates a sense of injustice and undermines the public trust in government.

Recently, the Governor of Kano State, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, has come under fire for appointing his nephew to head the History and Culture Bureau as its Executive Secretary. This appointment has been met with widespread criticism, given that the Governor had previously accused the immediate past governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, of involving his family in government affairs.

Critics of the Governor’s appointment say that it reinforces the idea of nepotism in government and fails to uphold the principle of equality before the law. Furthermore, they argue that this kind of behavior creates a sense of inequality that undermines public confidence in elected officials. 

Supporters of the Governor’s decision, however, have argued that the appointment was based on merit, and not simply nepotism. They believe that the Governor’s nephew is qualified for the position and has been appointed on the basis of his abilities and qualifications.

Whatever it is, involving family affairs in governance and the running of government can have serious consequences for the integrity of public institutions and the trust of the wider public. Public servants must prioritize the public interest above their personal interests and avoid any actions that could compromise their objectivity and impartiality.

Kashim Shettima,  Northern Nigerian Governors ,  The Deputy Senate President , Sen. Barau I.

The Truth Behind the #JusticeForRahama Hashtag: Examining the Importance of Responsibility on Social Media - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji  Introduction : In recent days, social media platforms in Arewa (Northern Nigeria), have been buzzing with the #JusticeForRahama hashtag. The hashtag originated from the expulsion of Rahama Saidu, a TikTok and Instagram personality, from Kebbi State College of Nursing Sciences.  While rumors initially speculated that the college expelled her solely for posting videos on her social media accounts, it has become apparent that Rahama's expulsion was due to her failure to adhere to the college's rules and academic responsibilities.  In light of this controversy, it is crucial for individuals, especially young girls on social media, to understand the implications of their actions and prioritize their professional development. Examining the College's Perspective: Kebbi State College of Nursing Sciences swiftly denied the ru...

SANUSI BATURE, AN ACCIDENTAL SPOKESMAN: THE REJOINDRER

Re-Sanusi Bature, An Accidental Spokesman by Muazu Muazu - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji  As a concerned observer of the political landscape in Kano, I feel compelled to respond to the disparaging article titled "Sanusi Bature, An Accidental Spokesman" by Muazu Muazu, which unfairly critiques the position and capabilities of Malam Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa. While I have never met Sanusi and am not affiliated with the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) — indeed, I am an ardent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) — I find it disheartening that personal bias and unfounded allegations have overshadowed the achievements of a respected journalist. Firstly, Muazu's assertions about Sanusi’s qualifications and capabilities as a spokesman fail to recognize the depth of his professional background. Sanusi Bature, also known affectionately as "SaBature," is a seasoned journalist with an impressive track record that spans nearly two decades across various repu...
