Shehu Sani Remembers Jimmy Carter as a Champion of Human Rights and Service
Shehu Sani, a prominent Nigerian politician, took to his X handle to pay tribute to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 99.
Reflecting on Carter’s friendship with Nigeria, Sani recalled his visits to the country, particularly when he came to Nigeria in 1978 during his presidential tenure.
Sani also shared a personal memory of seeing Carter at the Abuja Hilton during the early stages of Nigeria’s democratic journey.
While acknowledging that no U.S. president is without flaws, Sani highlighted Carter’s distinguished legacy.
Known for his dedication to human rights, Carter’s post-presidential life was marked by a relentless commitment to humanitarian work, earning him respect worldwide.
Carter’s impact extended beyond the political realm; his work with organizations such as The Carter Center, which focuses on issues like disease eradication, human rights, and conflict resolution, shows his reputation as a champion of peace and justice.
Sani concluded his message by reflecting on the rarity of living to 100, expressing hope that Carter’s soul rests in peace.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
