Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore has knocked Nigerian technocrats and professionals who went with President Muhammadu Buhari to the United States for carrying on with the charade knowing he has nothing to offer. 

SaharaReporters had reported that the President departed Abuja on Sunday, September 19, to attend the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), where he is expected to speak. 

According to Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, Buhari will address the Assembly during the General Debates on Friday, September 24. 

He will be speaking on the theme of the conference and other global issues.

“President Muhammadu Buhari will depart Abuja Sunday for New York, United States of America, to participate in the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA76),” Adesina had said in a statement.

“The session opened on Tuesday, September 14. The theme for this year’s UNGA is, 'Building Resilience Through Hope – To Recover from COVID-19, Rebuild Sustainably, Respond to the Needs of the Planet, Respect the Rights of People and Revitalize the United Nations.' 

“President Buhari will address the Assembly during the General Debates on Friday, September 24 when he will speak on the theme of the conference and other global issues.

“In the course of the Assembly, the Nigerian leader and members of the delegation will partake in other significant meetings such as 'The High-Level Meeting to Commemorate The Twentieth Anniversary of the Adoption of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action' on the theme –Reparations, Racial Justice and Equality for People of African Descent.”

But reacting in a Facebook post on Monday, Sowore asked why a country of 200 million citizens could deploy some of its “best brains” and human resources to support a lie and a fallacy in “this mannequin.”

Sowore, who posted some pictures of Buhari with some members of the delegation, including one showing the foreign affairs minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, seemingly showing the President something from a note, described the 'show' as a charade. 

He posted, “It remains a mystery to me that an entire country of 200 million could consistently deploy some of its 'best brains' and Human Resources to support a lie and a fallacy in this mannequin. 

"On this trip to the United Nations General Assembly are two well-trained pilots, at least an aeronautical engineer, at least two medical doctors, speechwriters, several lawyers, Nurses, Accountants, Policy workers, International Affairs specialists, some clergymen, and women. So, one can’t imagine that there is NOT a single of men and women in these photos who could turn around and just sober up. Tell the truth that these exercises presented here are a charade as well as a facade. #RevolutionNow.”

A man identified as Ahmad Sagir who was known to be a strong supporter of the Governor of Gombe State, Muhammad Inuwa, died on Sunday after falling from a moving vehicle in the governor's convoy.

The convoy was heading towards Bajoga/Funakaye Local Government for an official duty when 30-year-old Sagir popularly called Khalifah fell off.

He reportedly died on the spot after suffering from a skull fracture.

It was learnt that the governor immediately disengaged the ambulance in his convoy to take Khalifah straight to the state Teaching Hospital Gombe for better medical attention where he was eventually confirmed dead by the doctors upon arrival to the hospital.

The Director-General (DG) Press Affairs Government House, Ismaila Uba Misilli in a statement, said the governor described the young party faithful as “a respectful, hard, working and promising fellow who was known for his die-hard support for APC and Governor Yahaya’s project.”

The governor was said to have suspended all his engagements for the day in honour of the deceased who has since been buried according to Islamic injunctions.

A former presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress, Adamu Garba, has taken a swipe at the President Muhammadu Buhari administration over the reception of former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, into the party.

Garba who took to his Facebook page on Monday said it is a double standard for “forgiving” Fani-Kayode, and “treating former National Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Buba Galadima as an outcast.”

Adamu Garba

Fani-Kayode officially defected on Thursday and was presented to President Buhari by the Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the APC, and governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The former minister, who has recently been hobnobbing with APC chieftains and bigwigs, said he was led by God in his decision.

The former minister, known for his inconsistent stance on public issues, added that he joined the APC to help unite the country.

This is despite his constant denial of the possibility of defecting to APC.

Taking to Twitter, he had at the time described the ruling party as “a filthy, rat-infested sinking ship.”

He had also christened the party as “darkness” and “the Almajiri Peoples Congress (APC)”.

Garba on his Facebook page tackled the current government for its acceptance of ‘FFK’, as Fani-Kayode is called, back to its fold.

“The real definition of double standard is forgiving FFK and absorbing him back to APC while treating Buba Galadima as an outcast despite his evident historical commitments,” Garba wrote on his known Facebook page on Monday.

The Northern Elders’ Forum has said that the heavens will not fall if a northerner succeeds President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

“We will surprise them in 2023 because we will vote for who we want, including the northerners, and nothing will happen. If we choose to vote for a northerner, the heavens will not fall. We will choose who we want in this country,” said Hakeem Baba-Ahmed at the inaugural edition of the Maitama Sule Leadership Lecture Series held over the weekend.

According to the Peoples Gazette, the group also asserted that northerners would rather live with poverty than being disrespected by southerners as the contention over which geopolitical region should produce the president in 2023 heats up.

“A northerner is a respectable Nigerian. We can live with our poverty, but we cannot live with a sense of disrespect and anybody who toys with our respect. We will fight them to the end,” the NEF spokesman explained.

He urged northern youths to continue to push for a northern Nigeria that determines the country’s direction.

“We inherited the North that determined where Nigeria went. We dropped the ball, and we are leaving you to pick it. The North needs young people to be strong enough,” Baba-Ahmed added.

According to the NEF chief, the north has the numerical strength to decide who becomes the next president in the country.
