Opinion: Ganduje’s Special Assistants On Streetlights and Emir Sanusi’s Bombshell, By Olabisi Deji-Folutile
People can say anything about the Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi Lamido, but one thing that is not likely to be taken away from him is his frankness – always honest and direct. He speaks the truth, at least, to his fellow Northerners. His candour is often condemned by the Northern oligarchy, but he doesn’t seem to care. His speech at the 60th birthday of Governor Nasir El’ Rufai of Kaduna State, is a classical example.
“Nine states in the north contribute almost 50 per cent of the entire malnutrition burden in Nigeria. There is drug problem, Almajiri problem and Boko Haram problem in the North. The north cannot continue to rely on quota system and federal character to get jobs for its children at the expense of the other parts of the country, which are busy turning out graduates.”
Rather, in the midst of the problems confronting the North, the priority of a state like Kano, is to appoint three people as Senior Special Assistants on Street Light Matters. The State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, saddled the three special assistants with the responsibility of handling issues concerning generators and diesel used in powering the streetlights in the state.
