I thought Yakowa's wife would be made the deputy governor, owing to Yakowa's achievements and unsudden demise but it appears Yakowa and his deputy were never on the same side of the divide.

This is a political calculation. 2015 political race for kaduna don start be that.
can anybody give us the senatorial district of the state current top 10 political leader now?

Is he a christain?

Thank God he's a christian

if i was in d position of d governor...i'll make a female my deputy so that kaduna state 'll be d 1st Northern state to have a Female deputy governor....
Den if he dies,she'll take over....therefore making her d 1st female governor in Northern states..
Who agrees with me?

It seems it's a muslim-muslim ticket now. This is not too healthy for a state that has tangible christian population. I foresee regilious insurgency, occassioned by grudges and pains of unsatisfied christians on this decision.Goodluck to the state anyway.

Be sure before post a thing like this nuhu bajoga is a xtian so mellow down

Barring a last-minute change,
Governor Muktar Ramalan Yero
will today present the name of
Ambassador Nuhu Bajoga to the
State House of Assembly for
confirmation as Kaduna State
deputy governor.
Bajoga, 63, is chairman of the
state chapter of the ruling
People’s Democratic Party and a
former Nigerian ambassador to
Poland.
Senior party and government
sources told Daily Trust
yesterday that Bajoga was
endorsed at the PDP caucus
meeting in Kaduna on Saturday.
The meeting was chaired by Vice
President Mohammed Namadi
Sambo, and attended by Yero
and other top-notch party
members.
At the opening of the meeting,
the governor solicited for the
support of the caucus in
choosing the best deputy
governor for the state.
Sources at the meeting told Daily
Trust yesterday that with the
endorsement by the caucus,
Bajoga’s appointment is very
likely to be announced today.
A source close to the Kaduna
Government House told our
reporter that Bajoga was seen in
the past three days attending
various meetings with Yero and
other top party leaders. This, the
source said, was preparatory to
his appointment as deputy
governor.
Bajoga’s endorsement was
coming a week after the death
of Mr Patrick Yakowa in a
helicopter crash in Bayelsa State.
Meanwhile, the Coalition of
Concerned Southern Kaduna
Professionals has opposed the
selection of Bajoga as deputy
governor.
“We are against the selection of
Nuhu Audu Bajoga, present state
chairman of PDP as Deputy
Governor nominee from
Southern Kaduna area, because
it is a calculated plot to deprive
the Southern Kaduna area from
holding the PDP state chair that
is of immense political value and
significance,” the group said in a
statement jointly signed by Dr.
Kyari Yates and Dr. John
Danfulani.
“It is also in the spirit of
renewed political enslavement of
our people using such a divisive
and sinister Greek gift. There are
more qualified youthful and
competent Southern Kaduna
politicians and professionals
who fit into role expected of a
sound deputy governor in all
means.”
They added: “We are declaring
our total resistance of this
action, as part of thee
encroaching political extinction
of our people via the promotion
of ‘gerontocracy’ and complete
sidelining of Southern Kaduna’s
younger generation and the
institutionalization of Northern
Kaduna over lordship over our
people.”
“This act of imposing a 63 years
old man would not have been
conceived in good faith since
the man, Nuhu Bajoga, would be
too old to aspire for the office of
the governor at the expiration of
the present administration--this
will ultimately scuttle our
chances of piloting the affairs of
the state in alternate manner as
required by the principle of fair
play,” the group said.

afam4eva: Is he a Christian or Muslim?

AFAM, You fall my hands Big time, are you interested in his profile and track records cum CV abi na religion concern you, Can his being a CHRISTIAN put a cup of Garri on ya table

Joblaze4u: Thank God he's a christian

What will you gain with him being a christian? Later we begin to shout "BAD LEADERS"! Senseless Nigerians

Ahmedie25: sentement has blocked your sense of reasoning,Nigeria wil not progress with people like you

Are u ok? D current governor was made deputy to balance d religious equation. Sambo is vice for the same reason. Why attack d poster?

It doesn't matter if he is a Christian or Muslim so long as he have something to offer. Nigeria is still a secular state, religion remains a very personal thing.

AK 48: Is he a christain?

can u see dat his name is Mr Bagoje not Alhaji Bagoje?
