Ebonyi Gist Lovers, buckle up! Kano's political scene is buzzing with whispers of a potential homecoming, and it's none other than Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former governor and influential figure, potentially returning to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The APC in Kano State has publicly acknowledged the speculation, but with a significant condition: an apology. Yes, you heard that right! The party is demanding Kwankwaso publicly address and retract his past remarks made against them before any reunion can take place. A History of Political Volatility : For those who might need a quick recap, Kwankwaso, a political heavyweight in Kano, has a history of switching political allegiances. He left the APC to form the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) ahead of the 2023 general elections, a move that significantly impacted the political landscape of the state. His return, if it materializes, would be a major development with far-reaching consequences. WHY THE APOLOGY? The APC...

  The bedrock of any thriving society lies not in the grandeur of its political offices or the opulence of its appointees, but in the quiet dedication of its teachers. These unsung architects of the future mold young minds, instill values, and equip the next generation with the knowledge and skills necessary for progress. Therefore, it is a profound misallocation of national priorities that the welfare of Nigerian teachers consistently lags behind that of senators and political appointees. To build a truly prosperous and equitable Nigeria, the government must urgently recognize the pivotal role of educators and invest in their well-being, addressing the systemic neglect that discourages bright young minds from entering this crucial profession. The influence of teachers extends far beyond the classroom walls. They are the foundational pillars upon which all other professions are built. Doctors, engineers, lawyers, and even politicians themselves owe their initial intellectual and m...
