How does JUST 128BN affect the END SARS PROTEST? - Hafiz Oyetoro

Restructuring has become one of the most popular languages used in the Nigerian political space today.

 “We consider this reappointment by President Buhari as an impetus to demonstrate a readiness for a free fair and credible election, which Mr. President had always promised to bequeath at the end of his second and final term in office in 2023.

“In the light of this five-year extension, our party hopes that the failures, disappointments and miscarriages that characterised the first five years tenure of Yakubu will have no place in the new order.

“It is therefore instructive to state that with his re-appointment, Prof Yakubu has been given an ample time and opportunity to redeem himself, the image of the commission and preparation for credible, free and fair elections in our country.

“At least, with this reappointment, whatever happens in our future elections cannot be ascribed to inexperience and lack of adequate preparedness on the side of INEC.

EXEMPLARY IN ACTION - Aftermath of #EndSARS protest in Bauchi

Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, the Executive Governor of Bauchi State caught my fancy when dropped  a tweet on his handle saying "Today, hoodlums attempted a raid on the #COVID-19 palliative warehouse in Bauchi State. My Chief of Staff was informed and he ordered the warehouse to be opened. They looked in and saw it was empty, and they turned back. And that's because we shared everything to beneficiaries as at when due."

That indeed was a very proactive measure. Imagine the level of destruction and losses that would have visited the state if His Excellency had not done the needful and the right time. The Governor stated further in his tweet "For accountability, when we started distribution months ago, I ensured to set up a high powered committee that included myself, my deputy, the State PDP Chairman and Chairmen of all political parties in the state, including traditional rulers, and others.

What manner of distruction - Aftermath of #EndSARS

Allegedly, four of the broadcast vans were set ablaze and to say the dish on each of the vans alone cost about $175,000 you just can't but imagine the cost of the vans and the constituent electronic news gathering apparatus.
