Zoning: Southern Governors Forum Reacts To Northern Governors’ Statement

We received with utmost joy the news of the resolution of the 11 Governors from the Northern Region thus:
” We therefore wish to strongly recommend to President Muhammad Buhari that the search for his successor as the APC Presidential Candidate be limited to our compatriots from the Southern states. We appeal to all aspirants from the Northern state to withdraw in the national interest and allow only the aspirants from the south to proceed to the primaries. We are delighted by the decision of our esteem colleague His Excellency Gov Abubakar Badru to contribute to this patriotic quest by withdrawing his presidential aspiration.”
We did not expect anything short of this heart-warming decision from our colleagues, great patriots and reliable partners in the collaborative efforts geared towards the attainment of nationhood for our dear country. This is indeed another landmark achievement in our quest for understanding, rapprochement and continual engagements for mutual beneficence.
We acknowledge this courageous stance for equity and moral rectitude. We applaud the zeal and determination of our brothers to engage realistically and honestly. We salute this uncommon resolve to confront issues militating against the march towards nationhood and ultimate greatness. By this gesture, we are convinced of the seriousness of our colleagues to join other patriots in ensuring that the ascendant march towards stability, progress and prosperity is not truncated by indiscretion.
We congratulate our brother Governor, Abubakar Badaru, for his exemplary conduct. Posterity will remember him for good. We thank the leadership of the Northern Governors’ Forum for the patriotic zest displayed at this crucial moment. We look forward to conducting a hitch free Convention which will culminate in the election of a suitable candidate who will hoist the flag of the party with a sense of mission.

“What I want and pray for is for all opposition leaders—Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola—to join the SDP.” – El-Rufai.

“What pains me is that the government we supported and had confidence in would do well, because we saw what Tinubu did in Lagos despite his challenges. We all know about his issues in Chicago, but we thought if he could replicate his work in Lagos for Nigeria, let’s support him. However, he failed.

“I never betrayed Atiku Abubakar because we didn’t meet in politics; we met at work. In work, if I see that he didn’t do well, whoever he is, I will tell him. I told Buhari, and I even took Buhari to court on the new naira issue. When Obasanjo and Atiku were having issues, those of us working with Obasanjo looked at the issues between them and said Obasanjo was more right. It was not about north and south; Obasanjo was right. Atiku and I are now together, and if I betrayed him why are we together now,” Elrufai said.

Ogun State to Partner with Nigerian Air Force on Security and Aviation Development

Governor Dapo Abiodun has reaffirmed Ogun State’s commitment to strengthening its collaboration with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to enhance security and drive aviation development in the state.

The governor made this known during a visit to the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, at the NAF Headquarters in Abuja. Their discussions focused on areas of mutual interest, particularly the development of the Gateway International Airport.
Governor Abiodun emphasized the state’s vision of transforming the airport into a major hub for trade, investment, and logistics. He highlighted the Nigerian Air Force’s crucial role in ensuring both the security and operational efficiency of the facility.
A key outcome of the meeting was the proposed establishment of an Air Force base at the airport. The governor expressed confidence that this initiative would enhance security, stimulate economic activities, and attract more investors to Ogun State. He also commended Air Marshal Abubakar for his proactive leadership and positive response to the state’s request.
Reiterating his administration’s commitment to strategic partnerships with security agencies, Governor Abiodun noted that the planned Air Force base would significantly reinforce Ogun’s security framework and further solidify its status as an economic powerhouse.
“Today, we engaged in a productive discussion with the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, on strengthening our collaboration, especially concerning the Gateway International Airport. As we work toward making it a key trade and investment hub, we recognize the vital role of the Nigerian Air Force in ensuring its security and smooth operations. Strengthening this partnership will not only advance our aviation goals but also contribute to the overall safety and economic prosperity of Ogun State.
“We appreciate the leadership of the Nigerian Air Force and look forward to a fruitful collaboration that will benefit our people,” the governor concluded.

Ramadan: School Closures Misrepresent Islam — Islamic Cleric

The National Chief Imam of Al-Habibiyyah Islamic Society, Imam Fuad Adeyemi, has criticized the decision by some northern state governments—including Bauchi, Katsina, Kano, and Kebbi—to close schools for five weeks during Ramadan.
Imam Adeyemi dismissed the move as politically motivated, arguing that fasting should not hinder education. He noted that Muslims in hotter climates, such as Saudi Arabia, observe Ramadan without shutting down essential activities.
Citing historical events, he referenced the Battle of Badr, where outnumbered Muslims triumphed over a larger army despite fasting. He emphasized that Ramadan is a period of spiritual dedication and discipline, not a time for inactivity.
Reflecting on his own academic experience, Imam Adeyemi highlighted how fasting enhanced his focus and performance during exams. He believes that closing schools during Ramadan contradicts Islamic teachings, which encourage continuous learning and work.
“For the first time, I’m hearing of a Ramadan holiday for schools. Islam promotes productivity; even on Fridays, business owners are only required to pause for prayers, not shut down entirely,” he said.
The cleric urged authorities to reconsider the policy, stressing that Islam has established guidelines that should not be altered arbitrarily.
