by Amir Abdulazeez Last week, Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso said President Goodluck Jonathan appears to be more of the Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) than of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, because of the promotional television jingles that according to him wrongly compare the President with other successful world leaders.

Femi Aribisala: Lamido Sanusi – The wrong Emir of Kano

by Femi Aribisala Make no mistake about it: this is a political appointment. Even more pointedly, it is an APC appointment.

Salihu Yakasai: Ibrahim Shekarau, the epitome of hypocrisy (Y! Politico)

by Salihu Yakasai Ibrahim Shekarau is NOT an asset to the PDP, not in Kano, NOT In the North and most certainly NOT in the country. He defected alone, with no single House of Reps member, nor State assembly member. All former Local Government chairmen that are a strong political bloc in the defunct ANPP... Read More

Dele Momodu: The Dangote checkmate and how the 2015 elections will play out

by Dele Momodu That person may turn out to be Alhaji Sule Lamido, the embattled Governor of Jigawa State. Nothing is ever too strange or stupidly bizarre in this macabre dance.

Opinion: Why the APC should be wary of G-7 governors

by Ado Umar Muhammed As for the dialogue with the president, I wonder why the governors are still unable to see the writing on the wall. The PDP leadership and the president’s advisers have evidently decided to dispense with them. The commissioning ceremony of Sokoto State University last Tuesday provided the opportunity for notable leaders... Read More

Opinion: Before another Odimegwu goes

by Robert Obioha The Kano State helmsman went to Aso Villa and apparently forced the President to sack Odimegwu.

Akin Osuntokun: Nigeria’s shift from Awo to federalism

by Akin Osuntokun The lesson to learn from the return of Al Mustapha is that Nigerians are spiteful of one another and care less for each other’s sensibilities.

Amanze Obi: The odds favour Jonathan for 2015

by Amanze Obi He was not perturbed by such distractions. It was with this single-mindedness that Jonathan ran the 2011 elections. Those who felt otherwise were disappointed. But Jonathan is not yet done. He is set to contest the 2015 presidential election and that is the bone of contention now. Opposition elements in the country... Read More
