The Kaduna State chapter of the Truth and Justice Defenders Forum has reacted to a media report questioning the handling of security in Kaduna State by Governor Uba Sani, saying it is paid job, lacking in merit and professional depth.

Sahara Reporters, an online news portal, in its publication of June 27 accused Governor Uba Sani of abandoning some parts of the state to the fate of criminals and blamed former Governor Nasir El-Rufai for still being in charge and for meddling in the affairs of the state by taking key decisions for the incumbent governor at the expense of the state.

The report also accused Governor Uba Sani of being insensitive to the security situation in the state by traveling for Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
In reaction, the Truth and Justice Defenders Forum described the report as warped, unprofessional, unfounded and sponsored by a “frustrated, disgraced politician” in the state.
Sabo Abbah Anas, Chairman of the Forum, in a strongly-worded statement said, they are quite aware of the identity of the main sponsor of such mischievous stories aimed at heightening tensions in the state.
“We shall not hesitate to name the discredited frustrated, and dejected opposition Senator in the state who persists in such desperate attempt to review and falsify the facts using some unscrupulous media to mislead and misinform the public,” said Anas.
Anas noted in the statement that, without the need to give detractors more reasons to feel important, the Forum warned politicians, especially “the publicity-hungry blogger”, to desist from attempts to manipulate the truths about state security.

“We note especially that a section of the media has not been extremely careful in their reportage of the security situation in Kaduna State and end up fanning greater unrest.

“Notwithstanding this well-known bias of that section of the media, the state government never made a habit of denouncing them at every occasion or on the slightest of breaches of decorum and etiquette.
“We were all along hoping that they would change to being more restrained in reporting on matters that affect the credibility of electoral process and popular will of the people without resorting to partisan overkill.

“We expected the proprietors of these unnecessarily unfriendly media outfits to regulate themselves and abide by their own rules and etiquette regarding the dissemination and reportage of news.
“Alas! The position remains unchanged that whenever matters affecting or arising from the security situation such as this one are reported or commented upon, the intrinsic bias of these media houses keeps becoming apparent; moreso when they get continuously influenced by an ex-Senator mad about publicity.

“We are today calling on professional bodies like NUJ, Nigerian Guild of Editors and NPAN to call such poor media operators to order in their reporting of all political situations in the state, and to eschew the slanted reporting of events with greater bias on issues of national security.

“We warn that editorial policies and restraints imposed by ordinary decency and sanity must not be abandoned by the media establishment for sensational and often biased reporting that only inflame tensions in the state,” Annas said.

The Forum wondered why the report would single out Kaduna State for such attacks and irreverent treatment whereas the security situation is as well or even more pervasive in other northern states like, Zamfara, Katsina, Niger than it is in Kaduna State.

A group under the auspices of Tansparent Leadership Advocacy (TLA) has advised President Bola Tinubu not to be distracted by what the group described as “well-funded disinformation against the current NNPC management led by Malam Mele Kyari”.

A media statement signed by the group’s Chairman Dr. Musa Adam revealed that a politically-motivated media campaign has been launched by “interests operating from the shadows, since the inglorious exit of CBN’s governor Godwin Emefiele from the management of the apex bank”.

Adam, in the statement, noted that the new media plot against NNPC and Mele Kyari was “first hatched when news of successful oil discovery and its official presidential commissioning started in Kolmani River Field( Bauchi-Gombe axis) on November 22 followed closely by drilling in Obi/Keana of Nasarawa State on the 21st of March 2023.”

The statement also pointed out that “some unpatriotic elements, operating from the shadows have been unsettled by the transparent culture introduced into the new-look NNPC by the Kyari management, as well as policing of the oil pipelines to check theft”.

The group then stated this: “Kyari introduced the Roadmap to Global Excellence, anchored on TAPE Agenda, which means Transparency, Accountability, Performance and Excellence and it has remained the guiding rubric of his era. Every month, the NNPC publishes all its transactions in the conventional and new media platforms – something that has never happened in the economic history of this nation.”.

The TLA, in the statement also described the NNPC GCEO as a man of strict principles, an exceptionally devout Muslim in his private life, who has committed to using his personal earnings in the service of the weak and the poor in the society.

The group urged President Bola Tinubu to “ignore the rantings of unpatriotic elements working hand-in-hand with fifth columnists in the oil and gas industry to spread falsehood massively in the media and create bad blood between the President and NNPC GCEO, at a critical juncture in Nigeria’s economic history”.

Air Vice Marshal Hassan Bala Abubakar, born in 1970 at Shanono LGA in Kano State, and through dint of intellect, hard work, entrepreneur, and patriot, he rose to the position of Air Officer Commanding, Logistics Command and has attended several courses nationally and internationally.

The chairman, speaking on behalf of all shanono indegeneus people worldwide, commended president Bola Ahmed Tinibu for the worthy appointment.

” Shanono indigenes are elated by the elevation of AVM Abubakar to the highly coveted Chief of Air Staff seat. It is a position that caps all his excellent performance in the various offices he has held previously in the service to his fatherland”.

Once more, congratulations to Nigeria and the Nigerians. We pray that may Allah continue to guide and guard him in all, during and beyond his tenure.

Northern based Islamic group under aegis of Imams for Peace and Unity (IPU) has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for dissolving service chiefs and proactive steps taken to savour the economy and tackle the lingering security challenges that hitherto have bedevilled the country for over two decades .

According to the group , all action taken so far from the removal of petroleum subsidy; to signing of significant Bills that touch on lives of the ordinary citizenry into law to opening of the boarders and balanced appointments are good for sustainable development .

“As a group of concerned Nigerians, without mincing words, we state unequivocally that we are impressed and satisfied with the proactive steps taken by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led government to reposition the hitherto dwindling economy and the country at large.”he stated.

In a statement signed by Sheikh Abubakar Musa Mohammed
Chairman ,Imams for Peace and Unity, the group said, it is convinced that from the body language of the Mr.President as a passionate and committed leader, he will deliver dividends of democracy to the common man in the streets.

While stating that the President has very good plans for progress and development of Nigeria, it noted ,” All the actions taken so far from the removal of petroleum subsidy; to signing of significant Bills that touch on lives of the ordinary citizenry into law to opening of the boarders and balanced appointments , Tinubu is fully prepared for the highly coveted number seat .

The statement further reads :” It is against this background that as religious leaders under the umbrella of Imams for Peace and Unity, held a meeting and resolved to commend the President for identifying the problems and fighting the battle of restoration from those agents of destruction that looted the nation common wealth.”

The group, which issued the statement after the one-day meeting of the Executive Members across 19 Northern states in Kaduna , said it was left with no option than to take a stand to lend support to the Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration for the focused leadership provided since assumption of office as the Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces.

On the issue about the Vice President Kashim Shettima saying , “under the current dispensation, the worst incompetent Southern Christian is better than the most puritanical Northern Muslim for the Presidency of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
If you read in-between ,you will discover those shouting fowl are out to call the dog Abad to hang it .He has not done anything wrong by the above statement.

“Shettima’s statement in our view was stated out concern for Justice , Equity and fairness .

“It apparently clear that he was misquoted out of context ,hence our resolve as a Northern based Islamic group to defend Vice President, Kashim Shettima,a good Muslim and commend his efforts to ensure that a Christian Senate President emerged in the interest of justice and fairness in line with tenets of Islam.

“From information gathered , Senators
Shettima has contributed to Islam more than any other Governor in Nigeria since 1999 in terms of the kind of situation he found himself during the heat of Boko Haram war. The criticisms against are baseless .

“The bitter Truth is that most of those critizing him today , couldn’t even stay in Borno during the battle with Boko Haram insurgents, when he was a constant target of terrorists.”
