The presidential campaign rally of the All progressives Congress APC continues today in Kano and it was a huge success as hundred of thousands of people trooped out to welcome ASIWAJU BOLA TINUBU. This is the moment the city boy ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU entered the campaign venue.
The APC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN RALLY IN KANO today has shown that Tinubu would win North West Region. To know that all governors from the region with the exception of Tambuwal means a lot and say alot about the massive support ASIWAJU BOLA TINUBU still enjoys in the North. As far as north west is concerned ASIWAJU is their main candidate. Others are only behind him.
Raheeqilmaktoom: Many people down south don't know the history of Almajirci and how it came to be, how it was abused and what led to those abuses, Gej probably made the same mistake - in a typical Southerner's mind, it's shouldn't be there in first place.
To a northerner, its a system that worked well before certain factors led to its abuse -mostly economic and to some extent cultural, address those factors (esp economic), the people keep getting enlightened and the system would be transformed.
Right now, the Almajirci system is a insult on the north, right management of it would turn it to a spectacular system where people are made.
So, major thing, economic empowerment of the region, education should also be improved (Western and Islamic) over a long time and converting those almajiri schools into boarding schools like incorporating both Western and Islamic education. (Long term).
Immediate measure: clusters of these schools, taking off the kids off the streets and providing them with education, plus economic empowerment of the region and engaging stakeholders (scholars) to enlighten and disseminate information.
Without economic empowerment, most of these things will always come to naught.
Raheeqilmaktoom: Gej's so called remodelled almajiri schools were just a waste, he got people like Bala Muhammad to tell him what they want not what was on ground, it was never going to work.
In the whole of NE, there are not more than 5 almajiri schools, plus he overlooked insecurity and economy to pay lip service to almajiri schools, it was headed for the rocks before it even took off.
Hmmmmmm...... If he's elected, how would you advise Tinubu to solve the problem?
JoeNL22: Ahhhh........they will fight you. Gej tried it. But it didn't work. Just tell them to vote Obi. For with Obi, through sane Kanoites, a better & prosperous Kano is PO'ssible. Ahhhh........zasu fada miki. Gej ya gwada. Amma hakan bai yi tasiri ba. Kawai kace su zabi Obi. Domin tare da Obi, ta hanyar mutanen Kano masu hankali, za a iya samun mafi alheri & wadata Kano.
Gej really tried with the Almajiri schools..... Just that the solution didn't stand the test of time.
The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu has vowed to tackle the menace of Almajiri problem ravaging the North if elected to power.
The candidate gave the assurance, Tuesday, at a townhall meeting with Muslim leaders from the North-west region.
” If I become the President, I will work with you to establish a Commission to find a lasting solution to the Almajiri problem” he stated adding that he would transform the enormous potentials of the Nigeria youth to something productive.
He maintained that he cannot afford to neglect children because they are creations of Allah and Allah had instructed parents to care of them from childhood to adulthood. Tinubu also pledged to tackle the present insecurity bedevilling the country adding that, “We would not tolerate gangsters on our roads and highways. The sanctify of lives must be protected.”
To achieve this, he declared that he would increase the number of security personnel across Nigeria and provide them with better equipment to discharge their responsibilities.
He also pledged to be just and fair to all Nigerians while appealing to Muslim clerics to impress it on their followers to vote him on election day.
In his remarks at the occasion. the governor of Jigawa State, Abubakar Badaru said that contrary to the speculations of their detractors, Tinubu is healthy. strong, mentally alert competent and capable to discharge the responsibilities of the president of Nigeria.
He also said that there is no way the interest of the North would be under – representated by the Tinubu administration pointing out himself and Nuhu Ribadu are part and parcel of the Tinubu family and would not be part of any arrangements that would short-change the North.
