GOODLUCK JONATHAN - THE SILENT DICTATOR

They think we have forgotten:

-Then President Jonathan sacked the President of the Appeal court because he refused to compromise on the case involving the ruling party and ruling that forensic examination be allowed on materials used for the 2011 Presidential election. Even when the NJC asked that he be reinstated, Jonathan refused yet, he is your HERO OF DEMOCRACY.

- All the security details attached to then Speaker of House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal were withdrawn by the Federal Government led by Jonathan yet, you still didn't see any reason not to worship him.

- For weeks in 2014, the Governor of Kano State kept shouting that security aides posted to watch over the state house were recalled as a result of orders from above, not once did you accuse Jonathan of tyranny.

- For appointing Sanusi Lamido as Emir of Kano which was within the rights and powers of the Kano State Government, Jonathan ordered security agents to lay siege at the Emir's palace. For days, the Emir operated from the Kano State Government House. You didn't call Jonathan by the dictatorship that he was acting out then.

Battle for the next Emir of Kano: Sanusi, Hashim, others to race for the thrown

The battle for the next Emir of Kano has begun. The rat race kicked off following the death of Alhaji Ado Bayero on Friday.

Ado Bayero, the longest-serving Emir in the history of Kano state joined his ancestors on Friday after battling an undisclosed ailment.

Those jostling to take over the throne of leadership include the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Sanusi Lamido, who holds the traditional title of Dan-majen Kano; his uncle, Sanusi Abbas, who holds the title of Wamban Kano and Sanusi Ado Bayero, the late Emir’s first son, who is the District Head of Gwale.

Others are the Galadiman Kano, Alhaji Tijjani Hashim as well as two other princes, Aminu Bayero and Nasiru Bayero.

Sources said kingmakers in the state are currently having closed-door meeting to pick three names out of the eligible contenders for Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso to endorse as Bayero’s successor.
