 BALA MOHAMMED'S CANDOR: A LESSON IN STATESMANSHIP FOR THE SOUR GRAPES OPPOSITION By Okoi Obono-Obla  Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State deserves unreserved commendation for his rare candour and statesmanship. In an era where opposition politics in Nigeria has been reduced to perpetual wailing, cynicism and playing to the gallery, Bala Mohammed has risen above partisanship to speak truth to power in the most patriotic sense. Despite being the National Leader of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and a key pillar of his party's presidential ticket, Governor Mohammed did what very few Nigerian politicians dare to do: he publicly appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his bold, courageous and transformative reform agenda. This is leadership. This is maturity. This is putting Nigeria first. President Tinubu has done what others feared to do. He has brought a semblance of order and transparency to the opaque, previously cabal-infested oil and gas sector. Where subsidy fraud...

DISNEY NAMES VETERAN PRODUCER ALMIN KARAMEHMEDOVIC PRESIDENT OF ABC NEWS. (PHOTO).

 ABC has appointed Almin Karamehmedovic, executive producer of the top-rated World News Tonight with David Muir, as the new president of its news division, according to a report by New York Post. The decision comes as a “surprise choice” after a three-month period of uncertainty following the resignation of former ABC News president Kim Godwin in May.

The announcement was made by Debra OConnell, president of ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment, on Monday. The decision ends weeks of speculation about whether the network, currently undergoing cost-cutting measures, would hire from within its ranks.


Karamehmedovic will now oversee day-to-day operations across the news division, including the network’s flagship programmes, World News Tonight and Good Morning America.


While the move has raised some eyebrows within the network, due to Karamehmedovic’s reportedly polarizing reputation, others have applauded the decision. “He’s very bright and knows how to drive ratings by delivering what viewers want,” said a source familiar with the internal dynamics. However, another insider described him as a “bit of a bully,” citing his less favourable reputation among some colleagues.


Notably, Karamehmedovic’s career at ABC hasn’t been without controversy. In 2015, he made headlines after an incident at an ABC holiday party where he fell and knocked himself unconscious after a night of heavy drinking, leading to a hospital visit.

Despite mixed opinions, some insiders are relieved by the decision, noting it resolves growing impatience for a successor to Godwin. “It took so long for [OConnell] to make this decision that it weakened her as a leader,” said one insider.


Karamehmedovic has led World News Tonight since 2014, helping the program become the most-watched newscast for eight consecutive years. His previous experience includes serving as executive producer of Nightline and other ABC programmes like 20/20 and breaking news specials.


In a statement, Karamehmedovic expressed gratitude for his new role. “I approach this role with great respect and humility… for the colleagues whose tireless contributions fuel the unflinching and unbiased reporting of ABC News, and for the viewers we serve.”


OConnell praised the decision, saying, “Almin has devoted his career to ABC News, mastering every role and elevating excellence in journalism.” She added that the network is confident Karamehmedovic will lead ABC News to “new heights” under his leadership.


The timing of the decision is crucial as ABC prepares to host its first presidential debate next month, placing added pressure on Karamehmedovic’s leadership. ABC News has not commented on the appointment beyond the internal announcement.
