Adamu Mamman Kontagora MY OPEN LETTER TO THE CHIEF SERVANT , DR MUAZU BABANGIDA ALIYU CON ( TALBAN MINNA ). EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF NIGER STATE. Dear Chief Servant, My letter to you Sir is on the current situations going on about the GOVERNOSHIP CONTEST Come 2015 and your ISTIHARA and what you claimed you saw, in that your week end dream, sorry ISTIHARA , they said you saw your successor and that the person you saw was FAIR in complexion and when you revealed it, we had one of the contestant and closest to your administraration told you he might be the one, he has work with you longer than anyone else and he is also FAIR IN COMPLEXION, then they said you quickly said the one you saw was a YOUNG BOY and he that is claiming, he is OLD . therefore you asked him to step down his ambiton for the one you saw. He turned deaf ear and that week he went to Abuja to collect his nomination form. He was the first not to believe what you saw, many others also.. My dear Sir, i will still come back to the above ISTIHARA. But permit me to confess that i have never written an open letter to any other person but you,, due to situation on ground i surmon courage i never in any case intend to hurt you, but to sincerely tell you the truth and support my truth with History which a good number of people around you knew, but no one wants to tell you due to probably sycophancy and other benefits driven from you. I urged you to read this my piece well, there are two things that are likely to happen ; 1 ) You read, digest, understand the letter well and have a rethink of the way you are going about this your annoiting of a candidate. Do study again, the Candidates in your party PDP and bring the one that is credible that can make it relatively easy for your party to do better in the coming election. It could be excellent for you and the State. 2 ) You may read this letter and cleaverly refused to understand it and sticked to what you are currently on , if that happens i leave you with a quote from Ayn Rand WE CAN AVOID REALITY, BUT WE CANNOT AVOID THE CONSEQUENCIES OF AVOIDING REALITY The two points above my dear sir are never threat, but rather see it as candid advice. My dear Chief Servant in this my letter I intend to recall History for you . Studies have shown, if we keep doing things thesame way, thesame tactics dont expect to have a different result. I will like to remind you sir, there are few States in this country, very few indeed that Governor CANNOT determine his Successor, in other words, he may only be wasting his time annoiting, because it CAN NEVER work, in the end he may only waste NOT only his time, but painfully the resources or rather funds that suppose to provide certain priority-infrastructures for his people. I may not know other States sir, but NIGER STATE that you Govern today is one of them sir. Below are Scenario for you to see; CASE 1 Colonel Lawal Godabe sir was one time the Governor of our State and you know too well, till date he happened to be one of the most popular Governor the State had, because of his powerful nature he sacked one of his best Commissioner DR MUSA INUWA, you may wish to find out Inuwa as a Commissioner for Health has one of the best record of performance in the Ministry of Health. The sacking was purely on disagrement based on principles ( Sir not the way you sometimes sacked some of your own Commissioner that you later brought back }. There were efforts to recociled the the 2, it never happened, the Governor said only if Inuwa will secumb, My dear sir if you ask those that knew Dr Inuwa, will tell you how principled the Man was. He therefore chosed to go. Inuwa went back to famous university of Sokoto Teaching Hospital and continue with his Proffession. 1990 /91 sir the transition of NRC and SDP came, so many indicated interest to contest the Niger State Governorship, there was no zoning then, it was a free for all. Among the aspirant was a highly respected ALH IBRAHIM ALIYU a fine Gentle Man { Your Senior brother sir }. Infact till today ask all Nigerlites that witness that period , they are yet to see any aspirant in the history of the State that displayed Postals, Souvemiers etc like him { I know sir you beat him in your own time with Bills Board }. No one that time, ever thought IBRAHIM ALIYU can never be Col Godabe successor. But prepare for the shock !. Eleven days; i mean less than 2 weeks to the election proper, Dr Musa Inuwa the Gentle Man that Col Godabe sacked emerged from SOME WHERE, and Godabe saw it real the Man he sometimes sacked is back again, this time to take over from him. A story which i never confirm said Col Godabe followed -up and asked the the SOURCE that Dr Inuwa came from and pleaded for replacement , he was not listened to and Dr Musa Inuwa became Niger State Governor by defeating both the founding Members of NRC and SDP.These situations people said made Col Godabe to be angry with his boses and became the major frictions for him; Probably that could be the reoson why little or nothing of Godabe is heard till today { Emphasis mine }. Infact those that witness the handing over in Minna Stadium January 1992 will tell you that the ceremony almost ended in FIASCO !.. Therefore Dr Musa Inuwa served as Governor from January 1992 to November 1993. The Man spent less than 2 years. People today said Dr Inuwas performance of 23 months is better than 2 terms of 8 years of your regime { It could be subjective }. CASE 2 This case is on HIS EXCELLENCY ENGR ABDULKADIR KURE Fnse. He came in 1999. The Man was a former Director Engineering FCDA and was outstanding in his days of carrier service His choice was purely on merit; by credential and performance while in public service. KURE became Governor From 29th May 1999 to 20th May 2007. Engr KURE is one of the most humbled leader the State had ever produced, to the extent his humble nature and Gentility was abused by some of his politcal group, he used to be openly challeged by this group and atimes with insult, the Man never responds with anger, inplaced of that KURE will lookk for them for reconciliation. With this experience of KURE sir, most of those politician that inherted you yhought you were like KURE , but the saw in every little encounter with you , you explode. Most times they said you dont wait to be engage you rake on people without limit. It became clear they said no one is reserved by you. Interesting about you they said sometimes you apologised and other times you claimed to be quoted out of context. Infact the politicians that were ask to carry round for your election bid later access you to be hardest. My dear sir so sorry for digression. Let me tell you what happened to ENGR KURE in d end. At the begining of 2007 that signal the end of his tenure, the Man lost focus on who and how his successor will emerged. KURE who is a Mallam never do ISTIHARA like u, to compound issues to him, but also dabbled into similar annoiting of a Candidate in different way that still created rancour. KURE made Choice of Alh Bala Guna ( of blessed memory } who was his Commissioner for loacal Govt the person that perfectly handled the Joint account bussiness. At this juncture of annoiting, Engr KURE messed up his case and lost this record of humble and politness, the man chose to go into war with everybody that adviced him on the contrary, the impact of that crisis made KURE to loss most of his fantastic friends till today. and you can see him having little or no relevance any more. My dear sir , the rate i see you going i am afraid if you dont get to that. When it was time to go to Primary election with KURE annoited and others, remember i told u Govt machinaries and funds were used ( just as u too started }. The day of that election the Man saw the other side of people, One ISAH LADAN was closed to defeating the annoited one before a brouhaha was created at the venue of the election , therefore it was inconclusive another date was choosing. The next time, more resources were used an a kangaroo type af primary election was arranged the annoited assumed to emerged. Those that witnessed the primary said, that is the worst set of primary election they ever saw and ever heard.. The primaries came and gone later the annoited was DISQUALIFIED., KURE remain helpless the next is to source for will be and it is no longer in his hand to decide. My dear Chief Servant i happened to be oppoturned to hear from someone that was there when the decision to bring you was made, the qualities the people saw in you then, you were experienced enough and attained the highest position in the Federal Civil service and they assumed you can deliver. That is how you got the ticket like SIR ISAAC NEWTONS APPLE.. You have spent more than 7 years now i dont have the opportunity this time to hear if those that brought you are happy with you or disappoited. THE LESSON FOR YOU TO LEARN Your tenure is fast approaching to end. Few years back you started shopping who to annoit. You must be aware many from your cabinet, some party executives, infact even some local Govt Chairmen said you gave them your words, some in your parlour, some in your office, others while seating somewhere.and all these people took it serous, it generated issue in your administration and rancour among their followers. At your cabinet meeting you often times do tell them you will love on of them to succeed u, later some outside your Govt joined the race and among the are matured and highly experienced instead you look at who can deliver but it seems that cant happen. 24th Oct, 2014 you were quoted by daily trust I have preferred candidate you said God had the final say a fantastic statement sir, but shortly after you went for ISIHARA. ON YOUR ISTIHARA My dear sir i may believed you do the ISTIHARAH, BUT I am optimistic you didnt see the one who will be GOVERNOR come 2015, but you saw the one who CANNOT BE GOVERNOR. FINALLY sir , i have so much to write, but i will reserve some till after MAY 2015, when you seized to be the Governor and the corrected version of your ISTIHARA preveal. LEST I FORGET 8TH Dec 2015 is the date that your Party set for Governotorial Primaries. For the one of Niger State Me too i did ISTIHARA and i saw you are fully inchargea you will have your way but i saw something that was clear in the end, therefore i may not b in a hurry to congratulate u immidiately after the Primarie because of the Hausa proverb that says BA A SAURIN YABON DAN KUTURU SAI INYASHEKARA ARBAIN DA YATSU Meaning DONT BE IN A HURRY TO SAY THE SON OF A LEAPER CAN BE LEAPER TILL HE REACH 40 YEARS again you know sir those that were in a hurry congratulating Alh Bala Gunna in 2007, were disappointed shortly; Thank you sir, for dragging you to read this my lengthy letter , knowing fully you dont have time, because you are so much busy trying to see how your rejected annoited could be accepted, a situation i know is still giving you tough time i know it wont be easy sir. May God continue to bless us , protect us and the end of these insecurity challenges My highest regards Sir. Adamu Mamman Kontagora
