 Nominate El-Rufai’s ministerial replacement from Kaduna-South, Central, APC chieftain urges Tinubu.


A former Chairman of the All Progressive Congress Caucus in Kaduna State, Alh. Ahmed Tijjani Ramalan has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to replace former governor, Nasir El-Rufai with a ministerial nominee from Kaduna Central or Kaduna South for inclusiveness.

He stated this in an open letter to Tinubu obtained by The PUNCH on Sunday.

Ramalan appealed that the ministerial position should go to Zone 2 or Zone 3 where persons and politicians of high caliber are well placed to take such a position in view that both El-Rufai and  Governor Uba Sani are from Zone 1.

Tijjani who is the Chairman of Liberty Radio and Television called on President Tinubu to look critically into the sharing of political positions in Kaduna State,  noting the over-concentration of political offices in one zone is not auguring well for the APC in the State.

“Before 2015 when the APC took Kaduna State by storm from the PDP which had held sway for 16 years, there had been equity in sharing the spoils accruing according to understanding by Politicians and other stakeholders in the state.

“Based on the gentleman agreement, when the office of the Governor goes to one 1, naturally the deputy governorship position should go to the 2nd  or 3rd Senatorial zones.

FCT Minister Wike & the Naval officer Yerima

  In any public confrontation, especially between a high-profile political figure like Wike and a security officer, choice of words matters a great deal. Calling the officer a “fool” was not only disrespectful, but also unwise. First, it undermines professional decorum. The officer, presumably doing his job, should be treated with basic civility. Disparaging remarks erode respect for public institutions, and risk inflaming tensions unnecessarily. Second, from a political standpoint, Wike’s insult distracts from whatever substantive issue he was raising. Instead of focusing on why he was prevented from entering, the conversation shifts to personal insults, weakening his moral and rhetorical standing. But beyond the interpersonal dimension, we should examine the legal side: was the officer justified under the Nigerian Constitution in preventing Wike from entering the land? Under Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution (as amended), several provisions on property rights and freedom of movement ar...

    Why the Vikings Are Failing to Learn From the Eagles' Super Bowl Blueprint Introduction The Minnesota Vikings have long been one of the most storied franchises in the NFL, but despite consistent playoff appearances, they’ve yet to capture the elusive Super Bowl victory. In contrast, the Philadelphia Eagles, a team with a more recent history of championship success, have managed to build a Super Bowl-winning roster that has set them apart in the NFL landscape. As the Vikings aim to take the next step and secure their first championship, there are valuable lessons they can learn from how the Eagles built their Super Bowl team. While the Eagles’ approach was multi-faceted, focusing on strategic moves in key areas, the Vikings seem to be falling short in several aspects that could make a difference.
