Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has described the idea of the state police as a landmark security reform capable of confronting insecurity across the country.

 

He renewed his call for the establishment of state police, describing it as an urgent and strategic solution to Nigeria’s worsening security challenges.

 

The governor, urged greater collaboration among Northern governors, traditional rulers and the Federal Government to accelerate regional development.

 

Speaking on Wednesday while delivering his welcome address at the meeting of the Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) and the Northern States Traditional Rulers Council in Kaduna, Sani said the country’s current security realities demand a policing system that is more responsive to local needs.

 

He argued that with Nigeria’s vast landmass, the growing sophistication of criminal networks and the limited number of security personnel, state police would serve as a force multiplier in the fight against banditry, terrorism and kidnapping.

 

“The establishment of State Police in Nigeria is not only a necessity, but an urgent and strategic imperative.

 

“We need more boots on the ground to secure our people and our communities,” he said.

 

The Governor commended President Bola  Tinubu for supporting the reform and praised the National Assembly for advancing the State Police Bill through the constitutional amendment process.

 

According to him, history will remember the President, the National Assembly, governors and other stakeholders for backing what he described as a landmark security reform capable of confronting insecurity across the country.

 

Sani also applauded the leadership of the Chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, for strengthening the forum as a platform for regional cooperation and strategic engagement.

 

He expressed appreciation to the President for what he described as sustained interventions in transportation, agriculture, healthcare, education, energy, infrastructure and national security, saying the Federal Government’s efforts were laying the foundation for long-term national growth and stability.

 

The Governor noted that although Nigeria still faces significant challenges, measurable progress has been recorded through collaboration between the Federal Government and state governments.

 

He called on Northern Governors and traditional rulers to remain united in addressing security concerns, expanding economic opportunities, modernizing agriculture, improving education and healthcare, and promoting inclusive development across the region.

 

Sani stressed that the progress of Northern Nigeria is inseparable from that of the country, urging leaders to rise above political and sectional interests in pursuit of solutions that would improve the lives of citizens.

 

He welcomed Governors, deputy Governors, traditional rulers and other delegates to Kaduna, expressing confidence that the meeting would produce practical resolutions to advance peace, security and development in Northern Nigeria.

 

The meeting of the Northern States Governors’ Forum and the Northern States Traditional Rulers Council was held at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Government House, Kaduna.

Governors of the 19 Northern states are raising N228 billion within a year to tackle insecurity in the region.

 

Already, a Board of Trustees of the Northern Nigeria Security Trust Fund (NNSTF), has been inaugurated, an initiative described as a major regional response to worsening insecurity.

 

Member states have been urged to promptly fulfil their commitment to contribute ₦1 billion monthly for one year to support security interventions.

 

Speaking at the meeting of the Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) and the inauguration of the Board in Kaduna, Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, said the Trust Fund would serve as a practical mechanism for mobilizing resources, strengthening intelligence sharing, improving security coordination and complementing the efforts of the Federal Government and security agencies.

 

Yahaya pointed out that the security challenges confronting Northern Nigeria, including banditry, terrorism, kidnapping and drug abuse, continue to threaten lives, livelihoods and economic development across the region, making coordinated action imperative.

 

He disclosed that the Forum had earlier resolved that each Northern state, together with its local governments, would contribute ₦1 billion monthly for 12 months to finance the Trust Fund

 

Be commended states that had already commenced redeeming their pledges while urging others to do the same without delay.

 

“The task before us is too urgent and too important to be left to a few states alone,” he said, stressing that sustained funding was essential for the success of the initiative.

 

The Governor explained that the Board of Trustees, nominated by the 19 Northern states, would provide oversight, ensure transparency and accountability, prioritize interventions and support initiatives aimed at improving security coordination across the region.

 

He cautioned that the Trust Fund must not become another bureaucratic institution, but should remain a responsive, results-oriented platform focused on improving intelligence sharing, rapid response and the protection of lives and property.

 

Yahaya reaffirmed the Forum’s support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government’s efforts to restore peace and security nationwide, while expressing support for ongoing discussions on state policing as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture.

 

According to him, the complexity of insecurity in Northern Nigeria requires stronger local intelligence, greater community participation and more responsive security interventions.

 

He also urged Northern leaders to tackle the root causes of insecurity by investing in education, agriculture, youth empowerment, skills acquisition and job creation, noting that poverty, unemployment, illiteracy and the growing number of out-of-school children continue to fuel criminality.

 

The NSGF chairman further called for measures to support farmers affected by insecurity during the current farming season and advocated stronger collaboration among governments, traditional institutions, security agencies and communities to prevent conflicts and promote peaceful coexistence.

 

He appealed to traditional rulers, religious leaders, civil society organisations, the private sector and development partners to support the Security Trust Fund, insisting that safeguarding lives and property is a shared responsibility.

 

Yahaya assured members of the newly inaugurated Board of Trustees of the support of the Northern governors and traditional rulers, expressing confidence that the Fund would strengthen regional collaboration and contribute to lasting peace, stability and development across Northern Nigeria.

He spoke during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, and alleged that the current administration’s actions have made his daily activities difficult and affected his means of livelihood.

 

The politician who revealed that he faces constant difficulties expressed fear whether he would still be alive to participate in the next presidential race due to the pressure he says he is experiencing.

 

The former Anambra governor claimed that several aspects of his work have been deliberately made difficult, adding that he recently had an issue involving his vehicle at an airport.

 

He said: “With the way this government is going, I may not even be alive to contest the 2027 election.

 

“Every single thing I do for a living, this government is deliberately frustrating. I face frustration every day. They recently locked my car at the airport.”

Three students of Nasarawa State University, Lafia, have been reportedly kidnapped on Tuesday evening.

 

The State Police Command confirmed the abduction of three students, saying one of the victims has been rescued, while efforts continue to secure the release of the remaining two students.

 

The students were reportedly kidnapped on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at about 9:20 p.m. from Living Seed Lodge, a private hostel located in a bushy area on the outskirts of the University students residential community.

 

According to a statement issued on Wednesday by the command’s spokesperson, Superintendent of Police Rahman Nansel, the incident was reported by the university’s Chief Security Officer, prompting an immediate security response.

Fiery Kano politician and rights activist Naja’atu Mohammed has accused a governorship aspirant of the  African Democratic Congress, ADC in  Kano state, Malam Ibrahim Khalil, of being an ally of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. For that reason, the party will ensure the aspirant did not get the party’s ticket to contest the 2027 governorship election in the state, she said.

Mohammed, the party’s Deputy National Chairman, North West made the assertion during a press conference in Kano saying the party cannot afford to give its governorship ticket to a candidate known to be loyal to the president, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in the 2027 election.

President Tinubu has expressed his intention to contest next year’s election, he’s conetsting against ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar who’s also regarded as a frontrunner in the race.

Tinubu defeated Abubakar, who contested under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the 2023 presidential race.

Kano is expected to play a decisive role in who becomes Nigeria’s president in next year’s election, President Tinubu and other presidential candidates are doing on they can to get the state under their control.

The State Governor Abba Yusuf recently decamped to the ruling APC, a move analysts insist has boosted the president’s chances in 2027.

According to Mohammed, the aspirant has been known for his support for Tinubu, through his public comment, as such he should not be allowed to fly ADC ticket as such could undermine the party’s chance to win the presidential election in the state.

She said the aspirant cannot be trusted as he has expressed his loyalty to the president, saying northerners don’t want to have anything to do with Tinubu’s loyalists, accusing the Tinubu’s administration of failure to tackle some problems rocking the region, including insecurity and poverty.

Khalil has denied the allegation.

But Mohammed said, “No fairminded Northerner would want to politically associate with any aspirant perceived to be loyal to Tinubu, given the hardship, pain and anguish the region has suffered under this administration.”

The Katsina State Police Command has, reportedly,  arrested and detained Security analyst and Convener of the Katsina Security Community Initiative, KSCI, Bashir Kurfi. He is, allegedly, held on the orders of the Katsina state Government.

 

Kurfi, who is known for his interest in reporting the activities of insurgents operating in the Northwest Region, was  arrested following his appearance on a television interview where he accused the Katsina State Government of sponsoring hordes of banditry, and terrorist kingpins on pilgrimage to the Holy Land in Saudi Arabia.

 

The Federal Government, through security operatives had a couple weeks ago Intercepted about seven banditry lords at the Katsina airport, while on their way home from Mecca.

 

The arrests, as would be expected, triggered widespread indignation and condemnations, with not a few questioning how the well-known banditry kingpins were able to beat all security hurdles to find their ways into the Muslim Holy Land.

 

Kurfi was said to have been held after honouring an invitation by the Police for interrogation after his television interview.

 

Bakatsine, another known security expert, and reporter on the North West security challenges, in a post shared on his official site informed that Kurfi, during the said television interview, alleged that the intercepted banditry kingpins were all sponsored by the Katsina State authorities to the Muslim pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia to the tune of N10 million each.

 

Bashir who allegedly pointed to the Holy Land trip as part of the wider peace deal believed to have been entered into between the insurgents and the Katsina State Government, however, questioned the effectiveness of the approach in resolving the festering insecurity both in the State, and the North West Region in general.

 

It will be recalled that the Katsina State Government has been facing mounting public criticisms over its decision to negotiate with terrorist elements operatiing in the state.

 

However, Bashir was said to have during his interview expressed serious concern and reservation over Government peace agreements with armed hoodlums, alleging that  banditry lords, after benefitting immensely from Government patronage have continued to remain in the trenches attacking and killing innocent residents

 

The Police according to Bakatsine, after quizzing Bashir concerning the content of his television interview, arrested him citing a petition against him as a major reason.

OPINION: Umahi Against Obi

Dave Umahi and Peter Obi

By Valentine Obienyem

 

There are evidently several factions within the opposition calling for Peter Obi’s political head. They differ in methods, intensity, and motivation, but they share a common objective: to diminish his influence and halt his growing acceptance among Nigerians.

 

The most significant faction, however, is the one led by Engr. Dave Umahi. Unlike the others, this group appears to believe that Obi must not merely be opposed; he must be politically annihilated – they seek nothing less than a knockout blow. Every opportunity becomes an occasion to diminish his achievements, question his integrity, or weaken his appeal before the public.

 

Engr. Dave Umahi is the former Governor of Ebonyi State and the current Minister of Works. Few Nigerian politicians display such acute sensitivity to another politician’s popularity as he does towards Obi. He appears deeply troubled by Obi’s growing acceptance and seems determined to seize every opportunity to undermine it. Umahi has become notorious for his habitual truculence in controversy. His personality, alas, appears wholly ungovernable. He is painfully sensitive to criticism and bears opposition with little patience, as though disagreement itself were an offence. He seldom entertains the possibility that he might be wrong. Such traits, which some people term arrogance, naturally provoke strong antipathy from those who encounter him.

 

His public language towards Obi has often been unusually harsh. Rather than engaging with Obi’s arguments, he frequently resorts to sweeping denunciations and invectives, giving the impression that he is confronting an existential enemy rather than a political opponent. This hostility did not begin today.

 

In 2019, when Alhaji Atiku Abubakar selected Obi as his running mate, Umahi stood prominently among those who vehemently opposed the choice. Even members of his administration who openly identified with Obi found themselves under immense pressure. His Chief Press Secretary at the time, who happens to be a personal friend of mine, faced severe victimisation and hardship for daring to show support.

 

I recall accompanying Obi on a visit to Umahi in Abakaliki in 2019. At one point, Obi asked me to bring a bag from his vehicle, which he presented to Umahi. As Umahi escorted us out, he aggressively impressed upon Obi the need to extend similar bags to a list of names he mentioned. Watching that scene play out, I completely wrote him off from that day forward.

 

As we drove away, I remarked to Obi that I had expected South-East governors, particularly those within the same political family, to support his vice-presidential aspiration through concrete, collaborative efforts rather than looking for bags whose contents, I am sure, eventually ended up in their own houses.

 

Anyone who carefully observes Umahi’s public appearances cannot fail to notice the burdened, agitated manner in which he often speaks. One can see it in the twitching of his cheek muscles and the constantly changing expressions on his face. His interviews frequently contain glaring contradictions, a due quota of nonsense, exaggerations, and statements that are incredibly difficult to reconcile. One is often left wondering whether raw passion has completely overtaken rational reflection.

 

Recently, he challenged Obi to a public debate. Someone should gently remind him that he has yet to conclude the debate he earlier proposed with Barrister Nyesom Wike. Those two men – coins of the same mould – appear to operate on the exact same wavelength and would undoubtedly understand each other much better.

 

Ultimately, public life rewards neither loudness nor invective. It rewards character, consistency, and credibility. These are qualities that cannot be manufactured by propaganda, nor can they be destroyed by abuse. They are earned over time through steadfast conduct. It is on that ground that every public figure, including Peter Obi, Dave Umahi, and indeed every aspirant to leadership, must ultimately be judged.

 

Shall we recapitulate the latest major scandal, among many, in which he has emerged? In early 2026, a major controversy erupted when businesswoman and supplier Mrs. Tracyniter (Tracy) Ohiri publicly accused the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, of outstanding debts totalling over ₦200 million for campaign promotional materials she  supplied during his 2014 governorship bid. Alongside the financial claim, Ohiri levelled explosive allegations of sexual harassment, claiming that during a business trip to Ebonyi State, Umahi had improperly entered her hotel room wearing only a towel and demanded sexual favours in exchange for settling his debt. Umahi has denied these allegations. Regardless of their eventual legal or factual resolution, the controversy has further intensified public scrutiny of his conduct and public image.

 

This controversy, much like his often combative political style, reinforces the sharp contrast many perceive between Umahi’s approach to politics and the movement Peter Obi represents. While one relies heavily on confrontation and aggressive political rhetoric, the other has built his appeal largely on public perception of prudence, restraint, and accountability. In the final analysis, history is a patient judge. Long after the echoes of political invectives have faded and concrete monuments have begun to weather, it is character, dignity, and genuine reverence for the people that will endure. Dave Umahi may continue his quest to deliver what he considers a political knockout blow, but he may yet discover that enduring political ideas are not easily extinguished by persistent attacks.

2027: ‘OK’ Is the Best Ticket

The 2027 African Democratic Congress, ADC Vice Presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso says the Obi/ Kwankwaso ticket, popularly known as’ OK’ represents the best opportunity for Nigerians to put the country on the path of unity and progress, if voted into office in next year’s presidential election.

Kwankwaso dismissed a remark by a former Governor of Borno state, Ali Modu Sheriff, to the effect that Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate has no electoral value in the north.

Sheriff made the remark on Monday, saying the region will not vote for Obi, who he described as a divisive element. He accused the former Anambra state governor of planning to divide the country is he becomes president.

He also accused Obi of treating northerners badly when he was governor, saying the North will punish him, by ensuring that they don’t vote for him next year.

The former Borno helmsman also slammed Obi of hobnobbing with IPOB, a secessionist group in the south east that, outlawed by the federal government, accusing the ADC presidential hopeful of deliberate refusing to criticized the group despite its violence in the region.

Speaking in a statement he shared on X on Wednesday, Kwankwaso said Sheriff’s remark is contrary to the reality in the north. According to the former governor of Kano state, Sheriff has been away for too long, and as such, is not in tune with what is currently on ground regarding the political situation in  the North.

Kwankwaso also dismissed the suggestion that  Obi is not popular in the region, citing the 2023 presidential election when the former Anambra helmsman got millions of vote from the region.

He explained that the fact that the ADC presidential candidate is in alliance with his political movement, the Kwankwassiya, has further strengthened his chances in the north ahead the 2027 election, saying whatever party the group supported will be supported by northerners.

“For the record, in his first outing on the presidential ballot, Mr Obi secured approximately 2.8 million votes in the region — a remarkable achievement that cannot be dismissed lightly,” he said.

Adding, “The good people of Kano are neither bigoted nor xenophobic. They have consistently demonstrated strong trust in the Kwankwasiyya movement and will support any credible ticket presented under its banner.”

Not a few political analysts have opined that the alliance between Obidient, Obi’s political movement and Kwankwassiya has the capacity to upset the apple’s cart during the 2027 presidential election.

2027: Kwankwaso To Modu Sheriff: “You Are Self Appointed, Unauthorized Spokesperson For Northern Masses”

Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has described former Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as a self appointed and unauthorized spokesperson for the Northern masses.

 

He was reacting to an interview granted by Sheriff on Channels Television on Monday, where the former Borno governor asserted that the standard-bearer of the opposition alliance, Mr. Peter Obi, lacks the political capital to secure substantial electoral support across Northern Nigeria.

 

In a statement released, signed with his traditional initials “RMK”, Kwankwaso expressed deep disappointment over Sheriff’s remarks.

 

He accused the former Borno State governor of utilizing a major national media platform to peddle divisive rhetoric, rather than addressing pressing regional challenges.

 

​Rebuffing Sheriff’s claims with statistical data from the previous electoral cycle, Kwankwaso pointed out that Peter Obi is no stranger to the northern voter consciousness.

 

He noted that during Obi’s debut outing on the presidential ballot, the former Anambra State governor pulled approximately 2.8 million votes across the northern states—an electoral haul Kwankwaso described as a remarkable milestone that cannot be flippantly dismissed by political actors.

 

​”I watched with disappointment the recent interview granted by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to Channels Television on Monday. 

 

“After a prolonged absence from public discourse, one would have expected that time away might have sharpened Senator Sheriff’s judgment. 

 

“Regrettably, that does not appear to be the case,” Kwankwaso stated.

 

​He further argued that the electoral calculations in the North have fundamentally shifted due to worsening nationwide economic hardships, which many citizens blame on the shortcomings of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.

 

Kwankwaso added that the formalization of the “OK” (Obi/Kwankwaso) joint ticket—complemented by his own grassroots political structure, which pulled 1.45 million votes predominantly from the northern region in the previous cycle—makes the opposition platform an absolute powerhouse.

 

​Kwankwaso took specific exception to Sheriff’s baseline claim that the swing-state of Kano would reject Peter Obi.

 

 Kano, historically a major decider in Nigerian presidential elections due to its vast voting population, remains the redoubtable fort of the Kwankwasiyya movement led by Kwankwaso.

 

​Defending the political character of the ancient commercial city, Kwankwaso maintained that Kano voters evaluate candidates based on competence and progressive alliances rather than ethnic sentiments.

 

​”Let me state clearly: the good people of Kano are neither bigoted nor xenophobic. 

 

“They have consistently demonstrated strong trust in the Kwankwasiyya movement and will support any credible ticket presented under its banner.”

 

In a historic concession during the NDC National Convention, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso formally surrendered the presidential ticket slot to Mr. Peter Obi, stepping into the Vice-Presidential running mate slot to create what insiders call the “OK Ticket” (Obi-Kwankwaso).

Ali Modu Sheriff

​This alliance seeks to synthesize the immense youth-driven, urban machinery of Obi’s “Obidient” base with the fiercely loyal, highly structured grassroots mobilization power of Kwankwaso’s “Kwankwasiyya” movement in the North.

​

Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, on the other hand, is a foundational chieftain of the ruling APC and a former factional National Chairman of the PDP.

 

Kwankwaso advised Sheriff to look inward and focus his political energy on solving the existential problems bedeviling his own immediate constituency.

 

”I respectfully advise Senator Sheriff that, in future national television appearances, he would do better to speak to the serious insecurity and humanitarian challenges facing his home state, rather than making divisive and poorly considered remarks,” Kwankwaso admonished.

 

He reiterated that the “OK” ticket remains the most strategic vehicle to salvage Nigeria, promising to run on a platform centered entirely on administrative competence, national cohesion, and accelerated socioeconomic progress.
