Senate President: APC Urged To Checkmate Yari’s Ambition

 

             Garus Gololo


The leadership of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has been asked to put measures in place to protect the party from the influence of a former Zamfara State governor, Abdullaziz Yari.

 

The ruling party was warned against backing Yari’s ambition to be the President of the Senate for the tenth National Assembly, as the APC was urged not to forget in a hurry the implosion caused within its ranks when the former Zamfara Chief Executive was the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).

 

This is APC Chieftain and social critic, Dr Garus Gololo, condemned moves by Yari to disobey the party’s zoning arrangement for principal offices in the Senate, by insisting on contesting for the President of the Upper Chamber.

 

Gololo, while speaking with our Correspondent in Abuja on Saturday, said that as a “loyal party man, I am compelled to lend my voice to the crisis considering the havoc brought on the APC by Yari’s previous antics.

 

It is obvious that he is at it again. I pray that this time, the party is quick, up and doing to prevent this type of person from infiltrating our ranks. He has shown what he is capable of doing, and we must not allow him to succeed at it”.

 

He explained that “Yari’s inordinate ambition is capable of causing rift within the party, especially seeing that we have chosen where to move to as far as the Senate presidency is concerned”.

 

The ruling party Chieftain called on other APC members nationwide to give their support tto Senator Godswill Akpabio, the party’s choice for the role, adding that “it is only by closing ranks with our national leaders that we can build a united party that is able to translate its manifesto to the wishes, dreams and plans of Nigerians”.

How Peace, Terrorism Affects National GDP, Personal Income

  BENNETH JOSHUA KINGSLEY Peace has been a fundamental requirement for society's stability, development, and continuity at every stage in history. It is unarguable that this component is needed if commerce, sports, marriages, and bilateral or even unilateral engagements must take place anywhere, or at any time. This accounts for why governments at any tier hope, and practically undertake endeavors to promote peaceful coexistence among community members. In fact, modern systems for managing communities of people (whether democracy, monarchy, or any other system which the people agree to be their modus operandi for social interaction), hinge their successes on the operationalization of this all-important element- Peace. But it is everybody's responsibility, not only to embrace but to ensure that it comes through in its pure, sincere, and fair state. Peace is indeed an illusion where insincerity, injustice, and unfair treatment of component units in society are allowed to thrive. ...

Terrorism/Counter-Insurgency Economy: Citizens-Centric Component In Peace Building

                    A Nigerian Soldier On Counter-Insurgency Effort BENNETH JOSHUA KINGSLEY Modern militarized conflicts are open cheques that draw inspiration from faucets of ideas. They're no longer a one-street shop where operators, be they state actors or otherwise, focus on just one approach to achieving their aims. By this, it is implied that conflicts like Terrorism require not only military-combat-centric solutions to deal with. They also call for intelligence gathering where citizens play pivotal roles as discreet intelligence agents. It is worthy of note that throughout history the world has been plagued by insurgencies. Though the underlying causes of each new insurgency have been different, they are all similar in certain areas.  It is also worthy of note that insurgencies are flexible and to defeat them the counterinsurgency must be equally flexible if not more flexible.  This flexibility is where intelli...
