SHEHU SANI MOCKS FORMER GOVERNOR’S APPOINTMENT AS UNIVERSITY PRO-CHANCELLOR

Shehu Sani, a former senator, has mocked the recent decision by President Tinubu to appoint Isa Yuguda, a former governor of Bauchi State, to the position of pro-chancellor of the Northern Nigeria University (NOUN).

Sani wrote on his official X account, “One of my friends has been expecting a juicy political appointment; he has now gotten it in a University Board. He is not enthusiastic. I encouraged him to cheer up; it’s an opportunity to meet the ASUU Profs and gain from their wealth of knowledge,” the former Senator wrote.

Senator Shehu Sani’s comment come after President Tinubu made the announcement of Yuguda’s appointment, which caused political circles to raise their eyebrows.

Regarding Isa Yuguda’s qualifications for the position, many people had expressed doubts due to the fact that he has a background in politics, rather than academics.

Those who were in favour of him, on the other hand, claimed that his prior expertise in governance could provide his position with useful insights.There are others who perceived the nomination as a political plan, while others saw it as an opportunity for academics and political figures to work together.

    EBIRA YOUTH LEADERS BLAST SENATOR NATASHA, CALL HER “UNREPENTANT BLACKMAILER The last is yet to be heard in the sexual harassment leveled against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio by the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The allegation has in the last two weeks attracted reaction and counter reaction with over 100 women groups apologizing to the Senate President for the conduct of the Kogi lawmaker. This is as the former Akwa Ibom governor continues to receive solidarity from various groups and high profile individuals. The latest is coming from the constituents of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan who have not only passed a vote of no confidence on her but have branded her a serial blackmail with sexual harassment as her favourite card. In a statement on Wednesday, indigenes of Kogi Central under the aegis of Ebira Youth Leaders Forum (EYLF) said they are disgusted and disappointed that their representatives has refused to be a good ambassador of Ebira people, projecting good upbringing that reflects in the conduct of Ebira people. The group in the statement signed by its General Secretary, Dr. Adoza Dahiru wondered why the sexual allegation against the Senate President only emerged after she was removed from the Senate Committee on Local Content and later an internal rearrangement that saw her seat changed. They accused her of deliberately attempting to drag the reputation of Akpabio and the exalted office of the Senate President to the mud with nefarious intents. “The events panning out in the Senate in recent times, with our own representative at the centre stage is very disgraceful and generally casts we the cultured and mannered people of Ebira ethnic nationality in a bad light. “This is a woman who just through the intervention of the judiciary found herself in the Senate but instead of drawing an agenda rooted on effective representation of the people, she has found a trade in demeaning the revered office of the number three citizen of our dear country. “It is on record that her series of sexual harassment blackmail against top figures in the psst have all ended up unproven. A former presidential aide Reno Omokri, former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye, former governor of Kogi State Yahaya Bello and several others are some of her victims of blackmail which were never proved. “We hereby pass a vote of no confidence on her for not only projecting us in a bad light but for performing extremely poorly as a representative of the people. “Apart from solar street lighting andestablishment of five Mini Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants in Ajaokuta Local Government, Kogi which we know to be an initiative of President Bola Tinubu in her constituency, no significant project is traceable to her. The Senate is not a place for those who only want play to gallery in front of the cameras”, the group said. The Ebira youth leaders said her conduct is primarily the reason women Senators both past and present are not standing with her. They urged her to face her suspension and use the opportunity to study Senate rule and stop scavenging for solutions where none exist, saying the people of Kogi Central will take a decision on her after the completion of her suspension.
