Christian groups from Benue and Plateau states have commended former Zamfara State Governor and Senator representing Zamfara West, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, for what they described as his landmark efforts toward ensuring sustainable peace and unity in Northern Nigeria.
The groups, drawn from various Christian associations and community leaders across the two states, expressed their appreciation in a joint statement issued on Sunday, noting that Senator Yari’s intervention came at a critical time when the region has continued to grapple with recurring communal tensions and security challenges.
According to the statement sign by Reverend Innocent Ogbanje and Pastor Peter Lange , Senator Yari has demonstrated uncommon statesmanship by rising above political, ethnic and religious divides to engage stakeholders in genuine dialogue aimed at fostering peaceful coexistence.
The groups said his approach, which emphasizes inclusiveness, mutual respect and justice, has helped to douse tension and restore confidence among communities affected by protracted conflicts.
They noted that his recent consultations with traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth groups and security agencies in parts of the North, particularly in Benue and Plateau states, sent a strong message that peacebuilding requires collective responsibility and sincere leadership.
“Senator Abdulaziz Yari has shown that peace is achievable when leaders are willing to listen, engage and act in the interest of all, irrespective of faith or background,” the statement read.
“His intervention has rekindled hope among our people and reinforced the need for unity as the only pathway to sustainable development in the region.”
The Christian groups further applauded the senator for promoting interfaith understanding, describing his outreach to Christian leaders as a significant step toward bridging trust gaps and addressing long-standing grievances. They said such efforts are crucial in countering narratives of division and in strengthening the bonds of brotherhood among diverse communities in the North.
While calling on other political leaders to emulate Senator Yari’s example, the groups urged the federal and state governments to complement such initiatives with concrete policies that address the root causes of conflict, including poverty, unemployment and weak justice mechanisms.
They reaffirmed their commitment to peace and pledged to continue working with Muslim groups, traditional institutions and government authorities to sustain dialogue and prevent future crises.
The groups concluded by praying for wisdom and strength for leaders championing peace across the region, stressing that the stability of Northern Nigeria remains vital to the unity and progress of the country as a whole.
“Nigeria’s history is replete with examples of how religious tensions can escalate into violence and instability. In this opinion, the writer examine the proposed Independent Hisbah initiative by Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, former Governor of Kano State, and warned that at moments of national anxiety, leadership is revealed not by noise but by restraint.”
In an era when insecurity stalks daily life and the national mood is brittle with fear, any political actor who toys with public order, pursues disaster. This is why the recent push to create an “independent Hisbah Fisabilillah” by former Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje deserves no applause, but serious public scrutiny.
Let us be clear: this is not a debate about faith, morality or the place of religion in society. Kano has long negotiated the coexistence of culture, belief and governance. The issue at hand is far more troubling—an apparent insensitivity to the risks of insecurity and social fracture, wrapped in a desperate bid to salvage fading political relevance.
At a time when Nigerians are weary—of violence, of economic hardship, of the weaponization of identity—the introduction of a parallel moral enforcement structure outside established legal frameworks is not courage. It is recklessness!
A Dangerous Nostalgia for Control: The attempt for an “independent” Hisbah is a loaded action. Independence from what, exactly? From the law? From due process? From democratic accountability?
In a country grappling with armed non-state actors, vigilantism and the erosion of trust in institutions, proposing another body with coercive overtones is a provocative gamble with public safety. It is difficult to escape the conclusion that this move is less about public morality and more about political resurrection. When relevance wanes, spectacle often follows. Creating a moral panic, positioning oneself as the guardian of values and daring the state to react—these are old tricks in the populist handbook. But old tricks can still cause new damage.
Kano Government’s Quiet Strength- Against this backdrop, the response of the Kano State Government under the leadership of AKY has been instructive. Rather than descend into political mudslinging or ideological confrontation, the government has chosen the unglamorous but essential path: law, due process and public-order mechanisms. This is leadership that understands the moment- Instead of escalating tension, the state has emphasized that security and social regulation must remain within constitutionally recognized institutions. Instead of politicizing faith, it has grounded its response in legality. Instead of street-level theatrics, it has opted for calm institutional clarity. In a fragile national environment, this restraint matters. Public order is not maintained by competing power centers but by coherence. Justice is not served by parallel authorities but by transparent and accountable systems.
Faith Is Not a Political Lifeline- There is something particularly tragic about invoking religion as a political lifeline. Faith, for millions, is sacred, personal and unifying rather than devising. To deploy it as a tool for political comeback cheapens its moral authority and risks inflaming divisions that the country can ill afford. The danger is not hypothetical. History—both local and global—is littered with examples where unofficial moral enforcers became instruments of intimidation, selective justice and social fear. In today’s Nigeria, with its volatile mix of economic stress and security threats, such experiments are not just ill-advised; they are irresponsible!
The Choice Before Us- Kano stands at a crossroads that mirrors Nigeria’s broader dilemma: do we address our challenges through institutions or impulses? Through law or loudness? Through governance or grandstanding? The Kano State Government has, so far, chosen the harder but wiser road. It has refused to be baited into confrontation. It has prioritized public order over political drama. That choice deserves recognition, not because it is perfect, but because it is principled. In times like these, leadership is not about who shouts the loudest or claims the highest moral ground. It is about who understands that stability is fragile, that insecurity feeds on confusion and that politics should never be allowed to masquerade as piety.
Nigeria has enough fires burning. The country do not need desperate matches struck in the name of relevance.

The National Forum for Good Governance (NFGG) has dismissed allegations of misconduct leveled against the Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, SAN, describing the claims as unfounded, malicious and politically motivated.
The allegations followed a petition formally received by the House of Representatives, calling for an investigation into the alleged unlawful tampering with the corporate records of Jonah Capital Nigeria Ltd and Houses for Africa Nigeria Ltd by the CAC Registrar-General.
The petition, written on behalf of the two companies, alleged that some corporate records were altered to favour a contending party in an internal dispute.
However, in a statement issued on Sunday, the National Chairman of the forum, Chairman is Dr Mukhtar Mustapha Bebeji, expressed strong confidence in the integrity, professionalism and leadership of Magaji, insisting that the accusations lacked credible evidence.
According to the forum, a careful review of the allegations revealed no verifiable facts to support the claims, adding that the accusations appeared aimed at discrediting the CAC and undermining public confidence in a key regulatory institution.
“The National Forum for Good Governance wishes to categorically state that after a thorough review of the claims being circulated, we find the allegations against the CAC Registrar-General to be baseless and unsupported by any credible or verifiable facts,” the statement read.
The forum urged members of the public and stakeholders to exercise restraint and avoid spreading unverified information capable of damaging the reputation of public institutions.
It advised aggrieved parties to seek redress through lawful and established channels, stressing that genuine concerns should be directed to appropriate regulatory and oversight bodies to allow for due process and fair investigation.
Alhaji Bebeji also commended the Corporate Affairs Commission for its ongoing reforms aimed at simplifying business registration processes, strengthening regulatory compliance and improving Nigeria’s ease of doing business.
The forum further appealed to the media to uphold ethical journalism standards by ensuring accuracy, balance and fairness in reporting, and cautioned against amplifying allegations that have not been substantiated.
Notorious bandits’ leader, Bello Turji, has confirmed that he held series of peace meetings with then Zamfara State Government during former governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle, now Minister of State for Defence for peaceful resolution between Fulani groups.
In a viral video online, the bandit kingpin strongly denied claims that he was paid ₦30 million or given vehicles as part of the engagement.
Turji’s response followed allegations by on Musa Kamarawa, a former peace mediator appointed by the Sokoto and Zamfara State governments to bring bandits to a table of negotiations in order to end banditry activities through a non-kinetic efforts.
In a similar video, Musa had claimed that the former governor of Zamfara state Matawalle held a series of meetings with bandits, including Turji, at the Government House in Gusau and allegedly gave out money and vehicles to them.
Kamarawa specifically alleged that Turji received ₦30 million during the peace process.
However, in a viral video message circulated online, Turji described the claims as false, insisting that although peace talks took place, he never received such payments or any other Fulani leader on his behalf.
“By Allah, since I was born, I have never possessed even five million naira,” Turji said. “What I am doing is not for personal gain. We were never given that ₦30 million you are talking about.”
According to Turji, the meetings with government officials were part of a peace initiative aimed at reducing violence in the state and maintained that he did not personally benefit financially from the process.
He accused Kamarawa of betraying the trust established during the negotiations and giving what he described as “false, mischief testimony.”
“We agreed on peace when the Zamfara State government appointed you,” Turji said in the message, addressing Musa Kamarawa. “But what you are saying now is full of lies, deceit, I did not even receive three million naira.”
The bandits’ leader also accused former political leaders in Zamfara and Sokoto states of contributing to the insecurity in the region long time before Matawalle’s era, alleging that they armed groups of people known as ‘Yan Banga’ and encouraged the formation of vigilantes that targeted mostly Fulani communities.
He specifically mentioned former governors of Zamfara and Sokoto states, Attahiru Bafarawa as well as former Zamfara governor, Senator Ahmed Sani Yerima, calling for their arrest and investigations.
“We say openly that former governors of Zamfara and Sokoto, Bafarawa alongside Ahmed Sani Yerima, are responsible for the calamities that befell these states,” Turji claimed.
Turji sought to distance himself from political influence, insisting that he was not acting on behalf of any politician or interest group.
“We are not politicians, and we are not tools of politicians,” he said. “There is no human being backing us.”
Thought Turji did not talk about recent negotiations with federal government, instead, he framed his comments as a personal defence, saying he was speaking “before Allah alone.”
Nigerian security agencies have repeatedly identified Bello Turji as one of the most dangerous armed group leaders operating in the North-West, with the military previously declaring him wanted over terror-related activities.
The Arewa Joint Initiative for Peace (AJIP) has declared its unwavering support for the Minister of Defence, Bello Matawalle, dismissing ongoing calls for his removal as unfounded and politically motivated.
The group described the campaign against Matawalle as a misguided effort allegedly sponsored by Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, warning that such actions undermine national unity and ongoing efforts to address insecurity in the North.
In a statement signed by its Director-General, Musa Danbaki, AJIP said the move to discredit the Defence Minister was rooted in desperation rather than genuine concern for national security.
“It is imperative to recognize that the recent political maneuvers by Governor Lawal are borne out of desperation,” the statement said. “As a leader who has consistently aligned himself with bandit leaders, Lawal’s attempts to discredit Minister Matawalle stem from a fear of exposure.”
According to the group, Matawalle has remained a consistent advocate for peace and security, working to dismantle violent networks that have plagued communities across the region.
“Matawalle has been a stalwart advocate for peace and security in our region, tirelessly working to dismantle the networks of violence that have plagued our communities,” the statement noted. “His commitment to transparency and accountability threatens the very foundations of Lawal’s alliances, forcing the governor to seek distractions through baseless allegations against a man who has dedicated his life to national service.”
AJIP further argued that the calls for Matawalle’s removal go beyond personal attacks, describing them as part of a broader political strategy aimed at weakening President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s political support base ahead of the 2027 elections.
“By targeting Matawalle, who has emerged as a key pillar of support for the President in the North, detractors seek to destabilize the administration’s efforts to foster stability and growth in the region,” the group said.
The group commended the Defence Minister’s performance in office, crediting him with policies that have contributed to improvements in Nigeria’s security landscape.
“Under his stewardship, there has been a concerted effort to engage communities, empower local leaders, and create sustainable pathways to peace,” the statement said. “His initiatives address not only banditry but also the socio-economic drivers of unrest.”
AJIP reaffirmed its solidarity with President Tinubu, stressing that unity and collaborative leadership remain critical to overcoming Nigeria’s security challenges.
“We must reject divisive rhetoric and focus on dialogue, cooperation, and support for leaders committed to the welfare of our people,” the statement added.
The group urged citizens of Zamfara State and the wider Northern region to resist what it described as misinformation and to stand firmly behind Matawalle and the Tinubu administration.
“The strength of our region lies in unity against common threats,” AJIP said. “We must not allow personal vendettas to distract us from the greater good.”
AJIP concluded by reiterating its full support for Minister Bello Matawalle and called on Nigerians to remain vigilant against narratives designed to undermine peace, security, and national cohesion.
..DPO accused of covering-up for developers, KADGIS
By our Correspondent
Over 10 people who acquired vast plots of land teemed up Friday and vehemently resisted alleged land graping reportedly orchestrated by Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Agency (KASUPDA) in Ungwan Waziri in Kariji
community, Yakowa new road, in kaduna State.
Our Correspondent who was a star witness reported that, it was a face-to-face show between the owners of land, including retired senior military officers and civilians, when the labourers mobilized to the site to fence the land were confronted in the morning of Friday and Saturday respectively.
The plots owners, all christians, who vowed to stop further works on the land, regroup Saturday with police security operatives and a Divisional Police Officer (DPO), millennium city intervention disclaiming Sariki Ungwan Waziri, raising tensions within the community.
Identities and names of notable staffs of KASUPDA and that of Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), linked to the alleged sordid deals featured prominently in an interview with newsmen.
The state government was also mentioned, to stamp authority of state actors, to legitimize the alleged land encroachment by KASUPDA, and KADGIS – an agency charged with providing quality and sustainable land use planning and administration in the State, in accordance with the provisions of the Land Use Act Laws of the Federation (CAP 202 of 2004) and other relevant laws.
Briefing journalists, leader and spokesman of the affected plots and land owners, Mr. Kolawale Kayode said some of them acquired the land over three years ago under El-rufai administration, adding all efforts to start developing their land were frustrated by the agencies, telling them to wait until regularization form issued to them.

“When we want to build, they keep telling us that we should hold on, they are going to bring regularization form, right from El-rufai time. I think that’s the best way to explain it.
“They keep telling us they are going to bring us regularization form, that we can’t build, If we build, they will break our walls”, he said, pointing at direction of some samples of broken walls of some erected buildings.
He also lamented that” When we just put even two or three blocks to secure the property, they will say they will break it down until we get permits”.

The spokesman of the owners of the land also said Sariki Waziri called a meeting in the morning. “He said they have been to KASUPDA yesterday because we went and met Sariki”.
“He said there was no any communication to him. He was not inform of anything. He was not told anything by anybody. He went to KASUPDA, and when he got there, he saw the man called Sani Idris and he said to him that the file was open and it was sent to him from government, called from Governor”,
“Sani said they sent the file and that the file has been sent, and there’s nothing they can do, they have to work with it”, Kayode explained, insisting in members knowing the names of the developers and key officials of KASUPDA and KADGIS behind the ugly land grabing deals.
Born in kaduna, Mr. Kayode said he promised using his land to built sporting events center for young jobless youth of the areas to utilitize and showcase talents and not building beer parlour as maybe insulated by some people.

“I joined the army in 1989, January, and retired January 2024, that was last year. So they paid me my retirement benefit February 2024. So I used my retirement benefit to purchase two plots of land here in Ungwan waziri, under Kariji, to develop it and build accomodation.
But to my greatest surprise, yesterday, somebody just told me, one Okada rider, because he knows my land, he told me that there are two people building fences. So I have to rush down. Reaching here, I saw it, that they were building fences.
“We asked the workers, nobody is ready to tell anybody what is happening, who is doing it. But from all information that we are getting, is that the government, they collected the land and gave to a developer. Which we don’t know who is that developer”, he lamented.

The CLEEN Foundation has raised fresh concerns over Nigeria’s criminal justice system, warning that widespread rights violations continue across 12 states despite the adoption of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law (ACJL).
The warning is contained in a policy brief released in Kaduna on Friday, December 11, 2025, which found that unlawful arrests, arbitrary detention, and other abuses prohibited under the ACJL remain prevalent, largely due to weak enforcement and low public awareness of legal protections.
The states covered in the report are Adamawa, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Ekiti, Lagos, Enugu, Imo, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River.
According to the report, although 86 per cent of justice sector officials surveyed said they understand the provisions of the ACJL, citizens continue to experience practices the law was designed to eliminate, raising questions about implementation at the state level.
One of the major concerns highlighted is the continued practice of “arrest in lieu,” where relatives or associates of suspects are detained instead of the individuals actually wanted by law enforcement. The report notes that the practice, which is expressly outlawed by the ACJL, still occurs in several jurisdictions, exposing innocent persons to unlawful detention and abuse.
The Foundation also noted that many Nigerians remain unaware of their fundamental rights, including protection against unlawful arrest, the right to timely arraignment, and access to bail. It warned that this lack of awareness weakens accountability and allows rights violations to persist.
Beyond public ignorance, the report identified institutional challenges within the justice sector, including poor investigative practices, slow trial processes, overcrowded custodial centres, and reliance on paper-based documentation systems, which hinder transparency and effective monitoring of legal safeguards.
Despite these challenges, the report acknowledged some progress under ongoing justice-sector reforms, including the training of over 1,000 justice actors, the establishment of 12 monitoring committees, and the release of 107 inmates through improved oversight mechanisms.
The CLEEN Foundation called on state governments to strengthen enforcement of the ACJL, allocate more resources to the justice sector, and ensure that law enforcement and judicial institutions adopt rights-based procedures in line with the law.
It also urged the expansion of public awareness campaigns to educate citizens on their rights, while encouraging civil society organisations and the media to intensify monitoring and advocacy efforts. The judiciary and security agencies, the report added, should adopt digital tools to reduce delays and curb procedural abuses.

As part of Nigeria’s strategic positioning and commitment to driving sustainable energy solutions for Africa’s future, the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, has participated in the opening ceremony of the African Energy Efficiency Conference held in Ethiopia.
Dr. Abdullahi, who was a special guest at the event, participated in critical conversations with senior officials, leading African figures, and the Energy Minister of Kenya, where discussions focused on the central role of energy efficiency in stimulating economic growth and strengthening climate resilience across Africa.
The Director General of ECN , also engaged with representatives from the EU, the European Investment Bank, GIZ, the IEA, AFD, and SEforALL.
The engagements explored partnerships, financing pathways, and supportive policy frameworks aimed at expanding Nigeria’s contributions and ensuring meaningful outcomes throughout the conference.
A walk into the premises of Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) office, would attest to the impact of Good Leadership. Work atmosphere at the Commission is very positive and employee relations is highly cordial, a development that is clearly demonstrating effective leadership.
The Commission was Established by Decree No. 49 of 1989, amended by Decree 98 of 1993 and presently RMAFC Act CAP R7 LFN 2004.
By constitutional provisions, Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission is constitutionally is mandated to monitor accruals to all tiers of government as well as disbursement of revenues from the Federation Account, a mandate that has placed in the Commission a very critical role of safeguarding public resources.
As an agency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that oversees the revenues accruing to and disbursement of such funds from the Federal Account to relevant tiers, the Body is also expected to ensure that there is conformity and equity in the nation’s revenue allocation formulae.
With this unique responsibility, RMAFC, occupies an important and strategic position in the Nigeria’s fiscal architecture, requiring it to uphold the core values of integrity, transparency, accountability, professionalism, and patriotism.
This explains why a leader of such an important government body must be a man of impeccable character, a very honest and sincere person, who will lead the body with integrity honesty, trustworthiness, and reliability.
When Dr. Mohammed Bello Shehu was appointed as Chairman of the Commission after his stewardship as Secretary of the Commission, staff of the commission were so elated, expressing their happiness for having the right person to lead them.
So far, the Commission is enjoying a positive turn around and the remarkable progress achieved so far, are largely attributed to the exemplary leadership of the Chairman, Dr. Mohammed Bello Shehu, whose leadership style has transformed the work atmosphere, fostering a positive, productive, and supportive environment that inspires employees to excel.
Under Dr. Shehu’s guidance, employees feel valued, respected, and empowered, with their contributions recognized and their voices heard. The Chairman’s commitment to treating staff with dignity and respect has created a sense of trust and confidence, driving them to work collaboratively towards achieving the Commission’s goals.
In his style of leadership, Dr. Shehu has encouraged open communication, innovation, and high productivity, thereby relating with relevant stakeholders to achieve the goals of the commission while also unlocking the staff’s full potential and propelling them to work towards Commission’s success and growth.
No one is in doubt as to the fact that the Commission’s workforce is highly motivated, well engaged, and equipped with ethical training to uphold truth and honesty. They are equally receiving professional development, ethical training to keep away from untoward practices, and receiving necessary skills and knowledge to handle challenges to manage the dynamics of changes.
The Chairman’s integrity and his leadership style have set a positive example, building trust and respect among employees. This has boosted workplace performance, enhanced the organization’s reputation, and inspired accountability, collaboration, and fairness.
As a result, individual workers are driven to work as a team, striving for excellence and achieving the Commission’s objectives, while relevant stakeholders are joining hands together with the Commission towards wiping out corrupt and bad practices in governance.
At one of such capacity building organized in collaboration with the ICPC, for the Commission’s staff last Tuesday, the Chairman admonished all the relevant stakeholders to join hands together in the nation’s fight against corrupt practices.
So far, the impact of Dr. Shehu’s leadership is clearly evident in the faces of the Commission’s employees, who always exude a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction with their work. His leadership has created a sense of community, driving job satisfaction, productivity, and success, and cementing the Commission’s position as a premier primary organization mandated to ensure equity and fairness in the distribution of nation’s resources.
This particular circumstance was possible because of the quality of leadership being demonstrated by the Chairman, Dr. Muhammad Bello Shehu. Under his watch, the atmosphere at the Commission has been very positive, productive, and supportive and the work environment continue to inspire employees to thrive and achieve success.
Workers of the Commission are adequately motivated and engaged in various types of capacity building, a development that is making them to work collaboratively towards achieving the common goal and in turn, they all believe, they are now in safe hands while feeling secure in their roles and workplace.
