We hope to see many Good things out of this...


The speculated choice of Ambassador Nuhu Bajoga Audu for the deputy governorship seat in Kaduna state has received a knock from a group of concerned professionals from the southern part of the state. Bajoga is the state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).

The protest came as facts emerged on how Bajoga, who, barring any last minute change will be announced this week, was effortlessly anointed for the state’s number two seat.

His choice was reportedly ratified by PDP stakeholders meeting presided over by Vice President Namadi Sambo last Saturday, with the state governor, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero and other PDP big wigs in attendance.

But the decision to have him as deputy had been taken penultimate Sunday, a day after the death of Sir Patrick Yakowa and the swearing in of Yero as new governor.

A source at a meeting of southern Kaduna political elites held yesterday, told our correspondent that immediately after Yero’s swearing in, Bajoga received a text message from Sambo’s office, asking him to be prepared to become deputy governor. He however clarified that the vice president was not aware of the plot.

According to the source, the meeting invited Bajoga and advised him to allow a younger man from southern Kaduna to take up the position, a request the PDP leader turned down.

He reportedly said that in politics one does not decline an appointment because that could be interpreted as an act of disloyalty and victimisation may follow.

Meanwhile, the Concerned Southern Kaduna Professionals has rejected Bajoga’s speculated choice.

A joint statement by their spokespersons, Dr. John Danfulani, Dr. Kyari Yates and Vincent Bodam, said “This is a calculated political exclusion of our people with long term effects by those who wish to exploit the untimely death of our governor to plant political and economic mines in Southern Kaduna in order to foster their repressive tendencies of yesteryears.”
