[size=14pt]Yar'Adua's Brother,Quits Military for Politics[/size]

7 October 2010

[size=14pt]Katsina — Lt.colonel Abdul'Aziz Musa Yar'adua, younger brother to late President Umaru Yar'adua has resigned from the Nigerian military and may join the race for Katsina Government House.

Daily Trust learnt from sources close to the Yar'adua family that Abdul'Aziz, also known as Audu Soja, may be seeking to actualise his governorship ambition on the platform of the newly formed Congress for Progressive Change (CPC).
[/size]


[size=14pt]The source said the late President's younger brother tendered his resignation last week and it has since been accepted by the Nigerian military authorities, and that he had already handed over his official duties last Monday.[/size]

The source further confirmed that Yar'adua would be going into partisan politics but said he was yet to declare for any political party until his resignation notice expires at the end of October.

[size=14pt]Before his resignation, Yar'adua was a Lieutenant Colonel in charge of records at the army secretary's office at the military headquarters, Abuja.[/size] He was closest to late President Umaru Musa Yar'adua amongst the family members.

Since the demise of the former president, rumours have been flying round Katsina that Audu Soja was joining politics and had since started mobilizing towards his ambition to contest the governorship race.

Daily trust gathered that Abul'Aziz is seen as the most appropriate and emerging leader of the late Yar'adua's family due to his acceptability in the family circle as well as his antecedents as a very religious, firm but easy going person.

[size=14pt]Further checks revealed, however, that there may be a crack within the family if he decides to challenge the incumbent governor because some of the family members have public endorsed Shema for a second term.[/size]

Another hurdle the younger Yar'adua may face, sources say, is that the widow of the late President, Hajiya Turai Tar'adua may not support his candidature. Turai was said to have told her aides recently that she was not interested in supporting any politician or participating in any political activity.

Indeed . We say we want democracy yet we are happy to speak undemocratically . It is his right to contest . The good people of Katsina then also have the right to vote for or against him. Simple.

His antecedents are unpalatable. And he's also looking to ride on the goodwill of Yar'Adua political dynasty as usual, that's how come we got saddled with the dead doofus, Umaru.

i have been meaning to post this as a rejoinder to those who keep blathering about saraki dynasty etal and 'kwara slaves'

so effing what?

its a democracy

political families abound everywhere

the kennedys
the bushes
the bhuttos
the ghandis

the kennedys for instance , if not for Roberts assassination and ted Chappaquiddick scandal, would almost certainly have fielded three presidents

the bushes have fielded two presidents and two governors

You are right, my bros. But you know how we do things in Naija naa - "I have chopped my own, come and chop your own". We don't care about leadership capabilty and efficiency. We talk about "Namu ne" (It is ours).

I think the man is absolutely free to pursue any legitimate ambition that interests him, we should  only critisize when we have cogent reasons to  do so and not based on prejudice.

Low lifers don't usually understand. At what age did they die? above 50. That should be enough for a real MAN to make his impact in the world. Muhammed died around 53, Jesus much earlier. How many of those who lived longer than them do you still remember? I bet some of you guys have no recognizable NAME. The same can not be said of the Yar'aduas.

A word of advice, concentrate on making something out of life for yourself instead of castigating achievers.

Re: Yar'adua's Brother,quits Military For Politics by novaman: 4:32pm On Oct 08, 2010
was he not the one that gave late Yaradua one of his kidney? if he is the same person the Katsina people should be very prayerful that this one doesn't die in office and cause another confusion for them
Re: Yar'adua's Brother,quits Military For Politics by Hay: 5:42pm On Oct 08, 2010
What do you expect? sympathy for his brother will make them accept him into the "fold",
