Meet Running Mate Of Late MKO Abiola For JUNE12 Elections Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe. Baba Gana Kingibe was Born on June 25, 1945 in Maiduguri, Borno State. He was named after his father’s best friend, Abubakar, a bricklayer who had a great influence on his life.

He acquired the name Baba Gana (literally means little father in Kanuri) because those who respected his namesake, could not call him Abubakar. His father, a onetime cobbler, later became a native authority pay clerk during the colonial era.

The politicking between Borno Youth Movement (BYM) and Northern People’s Congress (NPC) spearheaded by Sir Kashim Ibrahim and Ibrahim Imam ignited the passion for politics and hatred for oppression in young Kingibe. The formation of BYM against the more popular and formidable NPC in the first republic led to skirmishes between the elites and the commoners in Borno. Kingibe’s father and his guardian (Abubakar) were consumed in the bickering between BYM and NPC as they both lost their government jobs for supporting the opposition BYM. For the once, historically the Kanem-Borno Empire had been in persistent resistance to the wholesale domination of the Hausa-Fulani hegemony from the earliest century, the rampaging holy-war (Jihad) led by the legendary Uthman DanFodio met a huge resistance in Borno Empire.

The empire is blessed with great warriors like the legendary Mai Idris Alooma, Mai Ali Dunami, Muhammed al-Amin al-Kanemi etc. It is note-worthy and historical that this is the very first time since the advent of democracy from the first republic through the present dispensation that the Kanuris’ (Borno and Yobe states) would be in the same political party (All Progressives Congress, APC) with the Hausa-Fulani, and indeed in the same political party forming the central government.

Kingibe, in many respects is an archetypal Nigerian politician, he has combined politics with the ambivalence of a diplomat; a shrewd and calculating politician (like any politician) who always aimed for the highest prize. A politician with national security background, he speaks with confidence and verbal pyrotechnics of the academic. For Kingibe networking is a veritable tool in politics. No wonder he had a vast and massive following at the peak of his political power.

He is a master and always on top of his game. A quintessential and cerebral politician with the gift of the garb, his audience are held spell-bound during his campaigns. Tall and with a near-permanent smile that lights up his ebony black face, he cuts a picture of a man at peace with himself and at ease with the world. Urbane and gentle, Kingibe, son of a cobbler won government scholarship to attend Bishop Stortford College, England for his secondary school education.
