He’s a common LGA chairman in faraway Kaduna. Nobody in Lagos knows him, at least not yet but LGA chairmen have a knack for rising into political prominence. People like Samuel Ortom (governor, minister), Ekeremadu (senator), Nyesom Wike (governor, minister), George Akume ( governor, senator, minister, SGF) & Ganduje (governor, ruling party chairman). There’s Ahmed ALIYU, Dikko Radda & Caleb Mutfwang; current serving governors that were once LGA chairmen. There are many more. In Kaduna, where this man is allegedly an LGA chairman, there’s Senator Hunkuyi who went from chairman to lawmaker. Nigerians from all over Nigeria need to make things like this their business. These extremists occupy key positions of power. They influence key policy & security decisions, they control budgets running into billions of Naira. We need to simply care beyond the noise on X and we need to decide whether we want to be in a situation where we can’t influence the kind of people that control the trajectory of our shared destiny; because really, Shehu Buba can become a senator whether the English Alhaji likes it or not. It’s not up to him but he has to accept that the former “common” caretaker chairman of Toro local government had such a successful political career that he was put in charge of Nigeria’s senate committee on National security & intelligence. National i.e not just Toro or Bauchi. National as in Niger, Benue, Oyo & Enugu whether they like it or not. We really really need to have a rethink.
