WE ALL HAVE TRIED TO BUILD A COUNTRY BUT TO NO AVAIL. SO TO YOUR TENTS O ISRAEL!!!!

READ THIS;
In 1952, Mallam Umaru Altine became the first elected Mayor of the Enugu Municipal Council. A post he held till 1958.
A Fulani cattle rearer from Sokoto, Mallam Altine, who was married to an Igbo woman, Esther Ozueh, was elected for two terms.
He was at one time the secretary general of the Zikist movement and was identified with the NCNC.
In his first term, he had run as an NCNC candidate but in the build-up to the elections for his second term, the NCNC asked him to step down for another candidate in the person of D.T Inyang but he refused and was forced to resign from the NCNC.
Nevertheless, he ran as an independent candidate and defeated the NCNC candidate, D.T Inyang, by 117 to 53 votes. In fact, in his ward, he was returned unopposed.
Thus, a Fulani man from Sifawa, in the then Sokoto Province, almost 700 miles from the Eastern Region, who had lived in Enugu for less than 5 years, became the first Mayor of the Capital of the Eastern Region.
