It is no longer news that there's been a major rift between the outgoing Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai and his predecessor, former Governor Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi with regards 9 properties belonging to Makarfi of whose licenses and C-of-O have been revoked by Governor El-Rufai. To put this in the right context, it must first of all be clear on why Mr. El-Rufai is making this moves at this point whereas he only has less than two week to leave office. First and foremost, recall that few days to the March 18th Gubernatorial elections in Kaduna, the incumbent Governor came live on air to threaten Makarfi by saying he will expose all his corrupt practices while he was Governor.

Nigeria: The Challenge of Leadership

By. Barr Mohammed Sani Abbas. 13/05/2023 As we prepare to inaugurate new governments at both the federal and state levels, it is important we take a deep hard look at where we are coming from, where we are, and where we hope to be. If we truly want to build a modern, democratic and progressive country, we must go back to the fundamentals. Without a doubt, you can not grow a nation whose level of poverty consistently increases. Our poverty level is too high! The World Bank says that 70% of all Nigerians live below a dollar per day. This, in a country that is the 6th or 7th largest oil producer, is unacceptable and is a stain on our national conscience. I believe we must start by revisiting the fundamentals: 1. Rebuilding and strengthening our institutions. 2. Fight corruption  3. Fight poverty  4. Invest in infrastructure,  5. Invest in agriculture, health, education, and technology.  6. Dramatically increase our crude oil production to a minimum of 3 million barrels per da
