Former Kano State Governor and leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has expressed deep gratitude to a host of dignitaries, religious leaders, and well-wishers who attended a grand wedding walima held last night.
The event, graced by prominent political and community figures, was a moment of celebration and unity as families and friends came together to mark the joyous occasion.
Kwankwaso, in a statement on his X handle, extended his appreciation to His Excellency, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, the current Governor of Kano State, and his team for their presence and support.
He also acknowledged the attendance of distinguished former governors, including Senator Bukola Saraki, former Senate President and Governor of Kwara State; Chief Celestine Omehia, former Governor of Rivers State; Chief Lucky Igbinedion, former Governor of Edo State; Chief Victor Attah, former Governor of Akwa Ibom State; Chief Achike Udenwa, former Governor of Imo State; Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, former Governor of Kwara State; Alhaji Isa Yuguda, former Governor of Bauchi State; Senator Abdulaziz Yari, former Governor of Zamfara State; and Senator Adamu Aliero, former Governor of Kebbi State.
The gathering also saw the presence of revered religious scholars and other notable leaders, reflecting the event’s significance as a unifying moment for Nigeria’s diverse cultural and political communities.
Kwankwaso, alongside Alhaji Dahiru Mangal, a prominent businessman and community leader, jointly hosted the walima, which served as a reflection of their shared commitment to fostering goodwill and togetherness.
In his remarks, Kwankwaso offered prayers for all attendees, wishing them safe travels back to their destinations.
He highlighted the importance of such gatherings in building bonds and strengthening relationships across Nigeria’s multifaceted society.
He expressed his joy and gratitude, noting that the presence of such esteemed personalities added grandeur and meaning to the occasion.
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.
“The first two weeks speak to laying a foundation on civic responsibility. The next two weeks will look at career mapping, basic accounting literacy skills, business planning and access to finance. The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
With the rainy season in Nigeria, many are wondering if the increase in flooding has now become the new normal. Lots of videos, clips, and complaints have literally flooded online, showing how badly roads, homes, and other places have been affected.
We were used to hearing about the rise of water on the Island since it is literally surrounded by water, but now floods are being spotted on the Mainland as well.
We may not know exactly why this is happening, but one thing is certain—we urgently need a lasting solution.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
