 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.

MALI SEPARATISTS ANNOUNCE WITHDRAWAL FROM STRATEGIC NORTHERN TOWN. (PHOTO).


 Mali separatists announce withdrawal from strategic northern town


A separatist movement in northern Mali announced on Tuesday it was carrying out "a controlled ‌withdrawal" from a strategic town in the north, a symbolic boost to Mali's army and its Russian backers in their years-long fight against insurgents including al Qaeda-linked jihadists.


The Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) took control of Kidal town six months ago in nationwide attacks that also killed Mali's defence minister. It ​had joined forces in those attacks with the regional al Qaeda affiliate, Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, known as JNIM, ​posing the biggest test yet to Mali's military leaders who seized power in coups in 2020 ⁠and 2021.


The FLA's decision to leave Kidal came in response to airstrikes by Mali's military backed by Russian fighters, the Azawad ​Liberation Front (FLA) said in a statement, Reuters reported.


"The FLA specifies that this is a temporary operational measure, also intended to preserve its human ​and logistical capabilities intact. This methodical withdrawal from the area took place without any direct combat having yet pitted its forces against the enemy," the statement said.
