In his article titled, “The candidate of the Sultan and the Yoruba pastor”, he describes himself in a kicker as a bonafide member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He is, however, more known to be one of those would-have-been president of Nigeria – this is by their attempts as aspirants – but who would not mind to become personal assistants to a state commissioner or council chairman after their disgraceful dropout from the race because of their lack of integrity. He calls himself SKC Ogbonnia.

To the average Yobean, Buhari’s visit to Yobe State, where he commissioned excellent projects by the Mai Mala Buni administration, confirmed what they already knew: life in the state has improved a thousand-fold from what it used to be just less than four years ago. To the opposition party, it sets the standard for their campaign so high that they know they are not going to reach it, as the scent of victory becomes nigh impossible to smell. To you, my reader, watching from the outside in, wondering if life could be better for the indigenes of a state once ravaged by an insurgency that put them among the most terrorised in the world, well, it hasn’t been easy. Still, it is achievable for those who make hay while the sun shines.
Except for an outsider, but everyone in Niger state knows that the state will go Atiku way in the February 25th, 2023 presidential election.
