‘I’m 46, Not 35, You Can’t Bully Me’ – Nafiu Bala Replies Kwankwaso

Published

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nafiu Bala, has stated that former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has no moral right to advise him.

Speaking in a statement on Tuesday, Bala also refuted claims by Kwankwaso about his age, stressing that he is 46, not 35.

While advising the former presidential candidate to do proper research before making comments, Bala advised Kwankwaso to stop attempting to infiltrate the ADC through the back door.

He further described Kwankwaso as a mole of the All Progressives Congress (APC), adding that it is time for politicians like him to give way for the younger generation to lead.

“Even if I were young, Kwankwaso has no right to look down on me,” Bala said.

He reminded Kwankwaso that he and many of today’s political leaders were themselves very young when they took up major public offices.

“They should allow youths to steer the affairs of our parties and the country while they play advisory roles,” he declared.

Bala further described Kwankwaso as “still an APC mole,” recalling that in 2023, Atiku Abubakar and other northern leaders mobilised Arewa elders to prevail on Kwankwaso to step down for the sake of Arewa votes, but Kwankwaso refused.

“Having refused to step down then, he has no moral justification to bully or advise me on the injustice being done to me by impostors in the ADC,” he said.

Bala stated that Kwankwaso is not qualified to intervene in the current crisis rocking the ADC because he does not regard him as a member of the party.

He warned Kwankwaso to join the ADC through the proper channel if he wishes to participate, and urged him to familiarise himself with the party’s constitution, noting that he can’t be bullied.

“I cannot be bullied by anyone,” Bala insisted.

It was reports that the outburst from Bala follows an earlier disclosure by Kwankwaso that Bala failed to show up at a planned meeting between the two of them.

It is understood that the meeting was aimed at resolving the issues affecting the leadership and activities of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

However, Kwankwaso was quoted to have said that he stayed up all night expecting Bala to arrive for the meeting, but the politician didn’t turn up.

Speaking during an interview with DCL Hausa, Kwankwaso called on the Emir of Gombe, other Emirs and Sheikhs to prevail on Bala not to work against the interest of the ADC.

By

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, says public officers steal funds every minute.

Olukoyede spoke in Abuja on Thursday at the 80th birthday celebration of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Kanu Agabi.

He stated that the anti-graft agency receives over 20,000 corruption petitions every year, describing the scale of the theft detailed in many cases as shocking.

“I receive over 20,000 petitions in a year in respect to public corruption, all terrible. What is going on? Like every minute, public officers take money, and if you go through some of our case files you will weep.

“The way people take national resources and Nigerians are victims of these fraudulent activities. And we must come together for once in our lifetime and say no to the activities of some of our leaders,” Olukoyede said.

The EFCC boss noted that some public officers assume office with less than ₦100,000 in their accounts, but within three years, the agency traces millions of dollars to them.

He added that some individuals acquire hundreds of houses while in office, warning that corruption is crippling the nation.

Olukoyede stressed that public officers must be held accountable for their time in office, emphasizing that transparency must remain the guiding standard in public service.

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested an officer who appeared in a viral video making inappropriate remarks about Peter Obi and Igbo people while travelling on public transport.

The officer who has been identified as INSP. Osumah Frank, was filmed saying Obi or any Igbo person can never become President of Nigeria.

In a statement released today September 25, the command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola said the command has commenced appropriate disciplinary action against the officer in line with established regulations of the Nigeria Police Force.

Abimbola stated that the statements made by the officer were made in his personal capacity and do not represent the position, views or official disposition of the Lagos State Police Command or the Nigeria Police Force.

She added that the State Commissioner of Police, CP Tijani Fatai, has reiterated the position of the command that all its personnel are expected to maintain professionalism, civility, discipline and respect for members of the public at all times. She further reaffirmed that wearing the Police uniform comes with a responsibility to uphold the dignity and integrity of the Force, and that the Command will not condone any conduct capable of bringing the Force into disrepute or undermining public confidence in the Police.

By

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking to compel the Nigeria Police Force to conduct a fresh investigation into the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

Justice James Omotosho dismissed the case filed by the Registered Trustees of Break the Silence Foundation in a judgment delivered on Thursday, ruling that the foundation lacked the legal capacity to institute the suit.

The judge also described the application as speculative and lacking sufficient merit, noting that the foundation failed to produce the original police investigation report to support its claim that the earlier investigation was inadequate.

Justice Omotosho further cautioned lawyers handling ongoing cases against discussing matters before the court during media interviews or on social media, describing such conduct as professional misconduct.
