POWER BELONGS TO GOD - Gov. Yahaya Bello

BEING AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF KOGI STATE BY HIS EXCELLENCY, GOVERNOR YAHAYA BELLO, ON HIS JUDICIAL VICTORIES AT THE KOGI STATE ELECTIONS PETITIONS TRIBUNAL. A short while ago, the Kogi State Elections Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja delivered judgment in the last Election Petition brought against my election as Governor of Kogi State. A total of five Elections Petitions were filed against us by various actors some of whom contested as Candidates against us and failed, and some who did not. They canvassed many legal issues, a number of which were confronting the Nigerian Legal System for the first time. Lawyers on all sides found their professional ingenuity heavily tasked as they sought to make sense of provisions the Electoral Act, 2010 and the various Electoral Guidelines and Regulations in the light of the Constitution and extant Judicial Precedence. Punditry lost meaning in the plethora of opinions canvassed in and out of court and in the News Media.  The situat

A LEADER FOR ALL SEASONS

By Pastor Joseph Suleiman Manjoe Preamble As the race towards 2011 gather momentum, key players in the field of politics are perfecting their strategies to win the confidence of the people. As activities peaks on the part of the politicians not much is heard or seen from the people who matter most in this matter, the electorate. This is to be expected since most of the followers are always passive, apathetic and unenlightened on issues of governance. If there is anything that most followers are concerned with, it is the issue of how to get a little peanut from the politicians and take care of their immediate needs. This indeed is a sad commentary on our politics. But the few enlightened followers are silently concerned about who lead them, the moreso given our experience in the last few years and the growing fear of insecurity in the land. I have therefore chosen to discuss, the leadership challenge for some reasons: (i) Leadership is central to the management of man and resour

That Yahaya Bello May Bail Out Kogi

B y Dr. Ozohu-Suleiman After the euphoria that greeted his emergence and eventual inauguration as governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello is gradually settling down to the business of governing the state. There is no doubt that Nigeria’s  youngest governor is taking on the enormous task of putting life to the long-held hopes and aspirations of the people of Kogi State for an inclusive government that will deliver socio-economic development to lift them out of the deprivation they have endured under the past administration. With high expectations birthed by the ‘new direction’ agenda in Kogi State, many in the state are waiting to taste the pudding as promised abundantly in the inaugural address of the governor.   Like the old maxim, the true test of a political leader is not how well he campaigned, but how effectively he is able to meet the responsibilities of the office. Although Bello’s emergence is widely seen as divinely ordained, nothing will make his time in Lugard

THE GOODLUCK CANDIDACY AND MINORITY RIGHTS

By: Pastor Suleiman, Joseph Manjoe The plethora of geographical entities in different sizes, all over the world, isthe contrivance of divine wisdom. God is the master-architect. In building thisworld He reckoned with diverse sizes. He fashioned the big nations and the smallnations. He designed the big tribes and the small tribes. Virtually all thingsare in sundry sizes: big men, small men, big rivers, small rivers, big trees,small trees. The sum total of all these is a universe with compelling appeal. Itfollows therefore, that any attempt by man in his own inventions to ascribemonopoly to big sizes is a curious and deliberate confrontation with divinearrangement. Characteristically, man has continually challenged the divinewisdom by suggesting and effecting his own devices. God juxtaposed minoritieswith majorities to make the world thick, but man with prejudices sought totwist this arrangement by ascribing to the minorities inferiority tag. Firstly,let us see who
