PRESS RELEASE / PUBLIC STATEMENT
THE HYPOCRISY OF NORTHERN LEADERS: YOU CANNOT FUEL INSECURITY FOR YEARS AND NOW PRETEND TO SEEK SOLUTIONS
By Chief Malcolm Emokiniovo Omirhobo

The attention of the public has been drawn to the communique issued by the 19 Northern Governors and the Northern Traditional Rulers’ Council after their emergency meeting in Kaduna, where they called for a six-month suspension of mining activities, a ₦1 billion monthly regional security fund, and full support for state police.
While these resolutions appear bold on the surface, Nigerians must not forget the historical truth:

The very same Northern political, religious, and traditional elites who now claim to be searching for solutions are the ones who created, nurtured, defended, and protected the insecurity consuming Nigeria today.
1. Northern leaders legitimised and romanticised bandits
For years, influential Northern politicians, clerics, and community leaders openly described bandits as:
“Freedom fighters”
“Peacemakers”
Individuals to be negotiated with, compensated, and granted amnesty
Some even provided them moral justification and political cover.
They refused to label them as terrorists, preferring weak euphemisms like “misguided youths.”
Today those same leaders now want Nigerians to believe they are “suddenly” ready to confront the monsters they created?

2. They institutionalised the Sharia criminal justice system and weakened the Constitution
The instability we face today did not start today.
For over two decades, Northern elites:
Propagated, implemented, and institutionalised the Sharia criminal justice system in 12 states
Created a dual, unequal legal regime within a supposed secular republic
Undermined national cohesion
Inspired radicalisation and parallel loyalty structures
This deliberate political project fractured national unity and laid the foundation for today’s extremism and lawlessness.

3. They weaponised poverty and refused to educate their children
Northern leaders also:
Refused to prioritise basic education
Allowed millions of out-of-school children, the highest in the world
Weaponised poverty as a political tool
Allowed ignorance, hunger, and unemployment to create the perfect breeding ground for banditry
Now the same leaders who deliberately engineered mass illiteracy suddenly want billions deducted “at source” every month to fight insecurity

4. Mining suspension is not new , it is merely convenient
Illegal mining has funded banditry for years. Communities screamed. Experts warned. Security agencies reported it.
Northern leaders ignored every alarm until their own political and economic interests came under threat.
A six-month mining suspension is not a courageous move , it is a late admission of complicity.

5. You cannot support State Police while empowering warlords
The same elite who:
Shielded terror financiers
Negotiated with criminals
Paid ransom under the table
Released arrested bandits “to maintain peace”are now calling for State Police?

If established without strict checks, state police in the hands of governors who cannot even manage education, transparency, or local government autonomy may become:
Instruments of ethnic domination
Tools for political thuggery
Paramilitary wings for entrenched interests

“Legalised banditry” under state authority

6. Real solutions require honesty, not propaganda
If Northern leaders are serious about ending insecurity, they must first admit:
“We caused this.”
They must also undo their past mistakes:
Dismantle ideological support for banditry
End selective justice
Reinforce constitutional supremacy over Sharia criminal law
Mandate compulsory education for all children
Punish terror financiers
Stop shielding extremist clerics and warlords
Empower communities instead of silencing them
Until then, no communique or ₦1 billion deduction can rescue the North from the fire its leaders ignited.

Northern Nigeria’s insecurity is not an accident. It is the direct product of decades of elite decisions, ideological extremism, political hypocrisy, and social engineering.

The same hands that fertilised the soil of banditry cannot pretend to be the gardeners of peace today.
Nigeria must refuse to be deceived again.

*Prof. Mahmood Yakubu’s Ambassadorial Nomination: A Step Too Soon, Too Close, and Too Damaging*

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the immediate past Chairman of INEC, for an ambassadorial position—barely two years after he supervised the very election that brought this administration to power.

Nigeria’s democracy is already fragile. Perception matters just as much as process. Even where no explicit “cool-off” period is stipulated in law, some roles carry a clear moral obligation. The head of an electoral umpire sits at the top of that list.

This nomination may be legal, but it is profoundly wrong.

*Why It Violates the Spirit of Democratic Ethics:*

1. Erosion of public trust.
A referee cannot finish a match today and join the winning team tomorrow. Even if nothing improper occurred, the optics alone damage confidence in our electoral system.

2. Democratic institutions rely on credibility, not convenience.
INEC’s legitimacy is rooted in the perception of neutrality. When the man who oversaw an election is rewarded by its beneficiary so quickly, it reinforces suspicions that the process was compromised.

3. Timing magnifies the problem.
Nigerians have seen former INEC officers enter government before—but never this soon, and never directly into the government whose election they conducted. This immediacy turns what might have been a normal career move into a troubling political transaction.

4. It sends a dangerous precedent.
Future INEC chairpersons may begin to view elections as pathways to political appointments. At that point, neutrality is dead.

5. It undermines the sacrifices of millions who demand credible elections.
Citizens queued in the sun, faced insecurity, and trusted the system. This nomination feels like an affirmation that their trust was misplaced.

*Why Prof. Mahmood Yakubu Should Decline the Appointment*

1. To protect his own legacy.
His name is already contested in the public square. Accepting this posting confirms the worst suspicions. Declining it could help recover part of his standing.

2. To defend the integrity of the institution he once led.
INEC cannot become a recruitment pipeline for the ruling party. He owes INEC that much.

3. To show that leadership still carries a moral dimension.
Public office is not just about what is permissible; it is about what is proper. Declining the appointment would send a powerful message that ethical boundaries still matter.

4. To strengthen Nigeria’s democracy.
Nigeria needs a culture where public officials willingly place national trust above personal gain. This is one such moment.

*A Final Word*

Nigerians are not naïve. They know the nature of their elections. But this nomination is unusually bold—almost mocking the public’s demand for cleaner electoral processes. It rubs salt in an open wound.

If Nigeria is to rebuild confidence in its institutions, actions like this must be resisted, questioned, and repudiated.

Prof. Yakubu still has one honourable option: decline the appointment.

Facebook, Instagram Suspend Eedris Abdulkareem’s Accounts Over New Song “Open Letter to Donald Trump”

Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has announced the suspension of his Facebook and Instagram accounts, which he says followed the release of his new song, “Open Letter to Donald Trump.” Speaking to SaharaReporters, Abdulkareem said he has been blocked from accessing both accounts since the song’s debut.

“Facebook just suspended my Facebook and Instagram account because of my new song, Open Letter to Donald Trump,” he stated. Checks confirmed that both accounts are currently inaccessible. No details have been provided by Meta regarding the duration of the suspension.

The song, released in November 2025 under Abdulkareem’s label Lakreem Entertainment, is a protest track targeting corr¥ption, insecurity, and misgovernance in Nigeria. While framed as a “letter” to former U.S. President Donald Trump, the real focus is Nigeria’s political elite. In it, Abdulkareem accuses leaders of enriching themselves while ordinary citizens suffer, describing them as “criminals of all shades and hues.” The song also highlights worsening insecurity, including k+dn@ppings, k+llings, and t+rrorism, and seeks global attention on the plight of Nigerians.

“Open Letter to Donald Trump” continues Abdulkareem’s tradition of politically charged music, following earlier hits like “Jaga Jaga,” which criticized corr¥ption and governance failures in Nigeria. His previous protest song, “Tell Your Papa,” was banned in April 2025 by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) for allegedly containing “objectionable lyrics.”

Abdulkareem has consistently used his music to challenge political leaders and expose social injustice. Despite facing repeated censorship, he remains one of Nigeria’s most outspoken protest musicians, amplifying the frustrations of citizens and demanding accountability from the nation’s leadership.
