 Africa and Russia are natural allies - Putin Russian President Vladimir Putin courted dozens of African leaders at a Russia-Africa summit that wraps up Thursday as he seeks to bolster Moscow’s clout across the continent. Speaking during a meeting in the Kremlin on the second day of the summit, Putin said that “Russia and Africa are united by truly strong bonds of friendship and close partnership.” “We are natural allies in building a multipolar, genuinely democratic world order, free from diktat and double standards and based on respect for the norms of international law and the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter,” Putin said, AP reported. He mentioned Moscow’s support for the African nations’ anti-colonial fight during Soviet times. “Russia has always been and remains committed to seeing African nations defend their sovereignty, achieve steady growth, and strengthen their economies and social sectors,” the Russian leader said. “We stand ready to continue working...

I RELY ON ALLAH FOR REELECTION IN 2027 – GOVERNOR YUSUF. (PHOTO).


 I rely on Allah for reelection in 2027 – Governor Yusuf


Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, for the first time since the controversies surrounding his defection to the All Progressives Congress, has stated that he believes in Allah as the ultimate source of power and guidance.


“In 2023, it was God who gave me power, not anybody else, and I still thank and appreciate Him as the only one who will allow me to continue in 2027,” Governor Yusuf declared while presenting motorcycles to his social media handlers on Saturday.


Governor Yusuf added, “Even all the talk about 2027 is a misplaced priority, because who knows whether he will make it to tomorrow, let alone 2027.”


He emphasised that his major concern at present is Kano, saying, “We have to get it right to have our full peace and security before talking about anything, and that is my major concern now, not anything else.


“Let me remind everybody that, to me, Kano comes first, not loyalty to anybody. Everyone should know that no one is bigger than Kano; we shall all be loyal to Kano.”


Speaking on the historical creation of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, the former Deputy Governor of the State, Professor Hafiz Abubakar, stated, “Myself and five others created the Kwankwasiyya Movement and even gave it a Red Cap symbol, not Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.”


He added, “Dr Yunusa Adamu Dangwani, Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, myself and others constructed the acronym of Kwankwasiyya when the going was tough and we were somewhat sidelined.


“At that time, we gave every support to Kwankwaso to survive the political tsunamis directed at him by the political bigwigs in Kano, and that was how we created the movement.”


Professor Abubakar criticised Kwankwaso for failing to appreciate those who supported him, believing that he knew it all.

“That bad behaviour drove all those loyal to him away, leaving him alone. We thought Kwankwaso would act like the late Mallam Aminu Kano, who always acknowledged that others created NEPU, PRP and the Sawaba movements, giving them credit at every opportunity. Alas, that was not the case with Kwankwaso,” he said.
