Tinubu also extended his condolences to the family of the late Tukur, the academic community as well as the government and people of Adamawa State.
On being caught over his lie, hear his nasty rant: “These haters, when I was on their case, they were crying. Now I’m on my own lane enjoying my life, they are still crying and sucking. Expect more so you can cry more. I’m on medical check-up not admission. Celebrating New Year is my right, haters can hug transformer. Happy New Year.” This is Fayose at his most insane moment. Where is character, decency and decorum in this statement? As a former public office holder, where is that civilised engagement and respect for the nation that gave him such rare privilege as a former governor? I wonder how the most unhinged apologists of Fayose will defend his midday call on his foes to opt for suicide through transformer hugging. People like him are tied to transformer in a country like China, North Korea and Saudi Arabia for stealing state money. Fayose’s rhetorical depravity which was meant to wrap his ego in the oxygen of public space has turned out to be a statement from a barbarian who has consistently stood against public morality, decorum and decency.

I’ve been amused by the strenuous efforts to explain exactly what Mamman Daura, President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew, meant or did not mean when he said last week that rotating the Presidency was no longer useful. I thought what he told the BBC Hausa service, which has existed for decades without any translation problems, was clear enough: When the time comes, the next president should be chosen on merit, not on a “turn-by-turn” arrangement.
While having a chat with selected journalists, the former Publicity Secretary of the ruling party in Niger State said such a statement from an elder statesman is highly regrettable, especially when Daura’s nephew, President Muhammadu Buhari, was a product of zoning.
Mallam Daura had in an interview with the BBC said the idea of zoning the presidency should be done away with from the 2023 elections.
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has commiserated with President Muhammadu Buhari over the death of his nephew, Alhaji Mutari Dauda, who is also Mallam Mamman Daura’s younger brother.
Hajia Buhari, who levelled a litany of accusations against Shehu, made the demand in a statement she personally signed in the early hours of Wednesday.
President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has congratulated an elder statesman, Alhaji Mamman Daura, on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja, Buhari joined all family members and friends of the veteran journalist in celebrating the milestone.
Tinubu said Daura, who is President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew, wasa resourceful pillar of support for the president.

On the auspicious occasion of the 80th birthday of Mamman Daura on Saturday, President Muhammadu Buhari has joined all family members and friends of the veteran journalist in celebrating the milestone, congratulating him for many years of love and sacrifices for the nation, especially in his chosen career, journalism.

Hajia Buhari, who had earlier confirmed the video was real on her return from the United Kingdom after a long absence from the country, spoke in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service
The party said the vicious fight for positions as “booty” of a stolen mandate further exposed the APC and the cabal in the Buhari Presidency as power mongers who are only interested in power grabbing, treasury looting and plundering of our national patrimony and not in the welfare of Nigerians.
Pro-democracy and Economic Watch Group, Guardians of Democracy and Development with seven other partners have criticised those plotting the removal of Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, describing them as “enemies of Nigeria”.
In his public speech, Chilagorom specifically identified Alhaji Mamman Daura, Samaila Isa Funtua and Mallam Abba Kyari as members of the group that is pulling down the administration. In his words: “The people of this country elected Muhammadu Buhari as their President, not Mamman Daura, Samaila Isa Funtua and Mallam Abba Kyari.”
The All Progressives Congress support groups in Abuja on Wednesday staged a counter protest in support of President Muhammadu Buhari, urging him to ignore people they described as ‘blackmailers’.
“The death of a family member is often traumatic. It is much more unbearable when one loses two family members at short interval.
