GOVERNOR MASARI AND KATSINA STATE (3) By Hassan Usman Datti

Katsina State was blessed with eminent important personalities that served the nation in different notable capacity and still there is a big number of them who are contributing their quota in servicing the nation toward the attainment of a Nigeria as an industrialised nation and free corrupt country, my God fearing Governor, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari (Matawallen Hausa) was not exception in the list of those great indigenous citizen of Katsina State who served Nigeria wholeheartedly. We have witnessed how Masari lead the affairs of the Green Chamber with sanity, numerous achievements and accomplishments, and with no or little rancour, he was successfully managed the house that has over three hundred members with different tribes and religions, geographically from all part of the country.

As the political dispenses of the present time tagged with the Change Mantra, APC Change! Katsina state is unavoidably changing greatly from the home of impunity and sycophancy to the home of sanity, progress and development. All in all was as the result of the managerial inputs that are putting in place by the peoples' Governor, Masari. When we take a close and far look at the ongoing Masari Restoration Project in the various sectors of my state, surely we would found out that Katsina is fantastically taking a right sharp and direction in achieving the most highly needed social amenities that the common man depends on to and have direct access to and enjoy as dividend of democracy.

GOV MASARI AND KATSINA STATE (2) - Hassan Usman Datti

GOV. MASARI AND KATSINA STATE (2) - Hassan U. Datti

It is with the sense of respect I am delightfully thanking all those that are supporting, contributing and appreciating the unquantifiable effort of the APC led administration under the leadership of our hero, mentor and father, the Executive Governor of Katsina State, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari, Matawallen Hausa, Dallatun Katsina.

The unflinching support of the good citizens of Katsina State is unmeasurable to this administration which is undoubtedly helping the matter, in restoring the lost glory of the state, which was carelessly handled or intentionally mismanaged by those that held the mantle of leaderships of the state in the past, thus resulted in affecting all sectors with different injuries most especially in the education sector, that has the highest public demand.

The Restoration Project, as the implementaton of the 2016 Budget was tagged by His Excellency, Governor Masari was advanced to every sectors not only the four areas that were given priority, which was unavoidably the first of its kind Katsina State had ever get since the inception of the 4th Republic Politics from 1999 to date.

Governor Masari accepted the challenge and smartly fighting back to restore the most highest public demend sectors especially education, to revive the sector at all level, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Education, Vocational Centers were also not exception, to make them standard and compete their peers in the country, knowing that the Katsina State is a Cradle of Education.

It is a plain truth, Governor Masari is working to make Katsina great again, we evidently have seen how he is placing on all the possible measures to fixed Katsina State, to make education accessible to every child, medical services to the good of Katsina State, Adequate portable drinking water, to improve Agricultural Production, and many more among others, for a better tomorrow especially to the younger generations

#GovMasariIsWorking! Governor Masari is workaholic potential public servant that is always ready to serve the masses.

HON SANI DANLAMI NEVER PAYS MEDICAL BILL FOR CHILDREN CIRCUMCISION

HON SANI DANLAMI NEVER PAYS MEDICAL BILL FOR CHILDREN CIRCUMCISION.

My attention was drawn to a post involving the Member Representing Katsina Federal Constituency, in person of Hon Sani Aliyu Danlami which was posted by an online paper, dailynigerian.com, the information was credited to Hausa Newspaper Rariya.

It is very wrong and unislamic to deliberately instigated any form of lie against a follow human for just a political goal or any other social reason.

It is very unfortunate and worthy of condemnation, the way rivalries are painting the political office holders black in order to tarnish their images and reputation to bring them down lower to their knees and made them become a laughing object in the sight of the good people voted them into their various and respective offices.

The post was actually questionable by seeing its context and reading the content of the post, that shows some attributes of unreliability and at the extent it could inflict some one with the sense of doubt.

This online paper reported the Honorable Member as the person behind the sponsorship of the number of 130 Children circumcision for his constituency that was recently concluded at Shinkafi, it said that, the excercise was kick-off early at the beginning of this year at Shinkafi A and Shinkafi B as part of this member Constituency Project.

I boldly say capital no to this mischief, it is not true, Hon Sani Danlami has never directly or indirectly instructed any body to carried out this excercise talkless of issuing the payment for their medical bills.

The true story is that, Alh Babangida Shinkafi, APC Chairman Katsina Local Government was the person sponsored this exercise to some small number of children from his ward, Shinkafi A. Babangida Shinkafi sponsored this exercise for the reason of being him one of the son of Shinkafi and an elder statesmanship who is holding the position in the party and also residing in this ward.

Believe me or not, Sani Danlami, will not forsake his Ward and prioritized another Ward above the Ward he came from, if he was the one sponsored this, why not he first of all launched this excercise at his own Ward?

Hon Sani Danlami had never done the payment of circumcision before and presently will not not do it at all to be regards as one part of his Constituency Project for the constituents, but to be honest and sincere, we knows he is doing his best on medical issues brought before him, we saw and witnessed hundreds of people that benefited from his Medical Scheme, and those that he paid for their medical bills not this issue of children circumcision that has no ground in his politics.

This is malicious attack of the highest order to this lawmaker's personality, and be rest assured, no matter how long it will take, the person behind this will surely account for it here on this universe.

HOME OF COMMOTION; THE MOST IT ANTAGONIZES THE LEAST IT IMPRESSES - Hassan Usman Datti

HOME OF COMMOTION; THE MOST IT ANTAGONIZES AND THE LEAST IT IMPRESSES.

I feels it in my vain as an obligation to commit my pen into paper on issues that are necessity, to write and show either my approval or disapproval and share my thoughts with you.

At this very trying time, It is a duty to every patriotic, indeed, it is a duty, to clear away the clouds that got it's way into the hearts of my fellow young politicians which apparently blocking them to see the light and grasp the honor and integrity.

They are being turning into low-level class of integrity, placing them into the category of Political Vanguard by being dishing with flimsy gifts, seizing the chances from them to notice the spot where the light is coming from and get access to it, and also by tarnishing their wisdom in differentiating between political chicanery and political will, especially when it comes for making a choice.

It is extremely disturbing experience when I came across to know the old servants were being pushing away and ignored because they are weak with small joule of energy and powerless. While some of the opponents groups were beckoned to serve and entertained just for two or more reasons; whether for blood relation or sharing of either the same political, social, religious or economical ideology

I was in no doubt by seeing the emergence of this home of commotion, which was given birth by some groups of people that are claiming the right of being in the best positions and at the apex of loyalism, who also claiming the total support and rendering political assistances to the most highly ranking personality in the state.

This home of commotion, surely, will not salvage the political future of the present administration, rather will embark on raising high issues of varying degree; friction, chaos and commotion in the unity of our collective interest.

Certainly, it will not at every given advantage or opportunity help and solve anything pertains the most key valuable areas of this government rather it will continuously making damages to our collective work done, antagonizing our genuine members and died heart supporters who are still nursing the feeling of being left behind and pushed into shrubs.

I am worryingly disturbed when ever I glanced at the activities of this home which are stupidly carrying out, that are lacking focus and direction, which were filled up with uncertainty in taking it for granted.

Unfortunately, they began with an err and from all indications they will end up at the same starting point. No one in their amids was prudently and sensibly perceived the wrong position they have taking to. What ashamed!

It is well a clear, the said wet soil is not yet a green, it is still dry and sandy hence of the heavy rain that is steadily raining. I see, the sowed seed is obviously decaying with out germinating for prospect.

DISCOURSE WITH CHAIRMAN OF THE MASARI RESTORATION AWARENESS FORUM

DISCOUSE WITH CHAIRMAN OF THE MASARI RESTORATION AWARENESS FORUM.

In my effort to contribute my own quarter even a little for the progress of APC administration at all level and Governor Masari to succeed in his Restoration Project Agenda. Today I met one of the change agent, a notable politician and a man with versatile potential, Alhaji Sabo Musa Hassan, Chairman of the newly created Masari Restoration Awareness Forum.

In my discourse with this honorable person, he unequivocally intimated me with the aims and objectives of this forum, which includes, carrying out awareness campaign on the achievements and accomplishments of Governor Masari led administration and that of the APC governments in general.

Therefore, he categorically said to me, the awareness campaign they voluntarily engaged to, was plan to be carry out, not only in the Social Media Community, it was plan to be actualized in all forms of media, Print Media and Local Media (Radio & Television) are not exception in regards to this task.

He also spoked to me on the availability of the manpower, where he said they got all the manpower required to achieve this great task they voluntarily involved into, where he mentioned the category of the manpower that are available; writers, photographers, camera men, public commentators, social activists and political analysts

Alh. Sabo Musa Hassan, disclosed to me again on one of most prioritized objective, that is depending the moral soundness of the leaders, where he said, they will do all their best in depending the integrity of this government and the integrity of our leaders; right from Governor Masari, Qs Mannir Yakubu, Speaker Aliyu Sabi'u Muduru, down to the APC Chairman, Malam Shitu S. Shitu.

Further more, he said, by grace of Allah (SWA), Masari Restoration Awareness will continue publicizing the achievements of Governor Masari, in all forms of media, to reach every nook and cranny of the state, most especially the people living in villages are the most targeted.

MAKING A POLICY IS BETTER THAN NOT, NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCES - Hassan Usman Datti

MAKING A POLICY ON ANY MATTER IS BETTER THAN NOT, NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCES



Katsina State Government has made a policy in the education sector concerning the payment of Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) fees to the students enrolled in the Public Schools, by introducing a bench mark score of five credits in a Mock  Examination sort of for the students to qualify and benefit from such Executive largesse

Worthy of note is  that, the administration is poised to provide quality and standard education to the teeming pupil in the state regardless from city or village get access to it

That was why, Education Sector has became one of the priority sector worthy of concentration of His Excellency Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari by putting all his weight and energy to revive the glory of Katsina State as cradle of knowledge which it is known for, over time and history.

It is very unfortunate, to read how people are showing dissatisfaction with the outcomes of this year's Mock Examination, for the failure of the students to score the required credits which supposedly all the accusing fingers should be on the students.

The government have done its part by providing the manpower, classes and materials. Parents should also do their part to make sure their wards are morally brought up, going to the school regularly and  working very hard, to meet the requisites and trudge the hurdles of class work and attitudinal and behavioral needs.

All of us, have an obligation to the education sector, government alone can't make everything excellent in this capital intense and highly demanding sector, in the process of reviving the system, it need our collective inputs to carry out this task. It is my prayers to all, as I commit my pen to paper, that Parents Teachers Association (PTA) would be more than ever before be committed in creating the understanding that would add value to the system in Katsina State, it is an issue that requires our total and complete involvement, if we really want education to progress and be qualitative for the teeming population of the younger generation to compete in the global arena, really, we must get involved. Folding our arms and being neutral will not solve anything.

The past regime has made an effort in the payment of Exams Fees to the teeming students  despite of the poor outcomes, thus resulted in, wastage of public fund and very warrysome. The most considerable issue here is that, out of the total number of students that benefited the payment of SSCE Fees during the tenure of the past government, out of their percentage of those who sat both WAEC/NECO and NABTEB of the cumulative five years, only the range of 25% to 30% scored the required papers while the remaining 70% and 75% failed, which means that the payment did not yielded any tangible outcome which, if it had been sorted out would have saved much for others to have a place.

This administration, decided to spend the fund judiciously meant for payment of SSCE in order to revive the system of education instead of paying for the loss which seemingly will bring the desired goals devoid of waste.

The machineries of government, Executive, Legislature and judiciary have a legal right to ascribe policies with consent and approval of the each other. It is prior to the council deliberations on this matters that prompted for execution and implementation.

I just highlighted the functions of the arms of government in order to draw our attention on how the power is being exercised by these machineries of government with out overpowering one another, and remind us that, executives alone have no legal power to made policies with out the consent of other arms.

At this juncture, let me make it clear that, there is different between the issue of drop out students and issue of the students that failed Mock Examination. Drop out students are those student that failed to made their SSCE and end up with nothing after their passing out and decided to mingle and hang around with thugs in the society while the students that failed their Mock Exams, they still have chance to enroll for the second and third chance at their various Secondary Schools to sit again for the Mock Exams inorder to qualify for the SSCE in the subsequent year and benefit the government payment.

To be fair and sincere, between the past and present regime on the issue of education, the past administration has done their best in the payment of the SSCE fees with out tracking and solving the problematic factors (root causes) that thwarted the progress of education across the state, by the coming of this regime in May 2015, it has set several committees on Education with number of term of references, such that problems and needs assessment, in order to find out and bring to the notice of government, the generic factors inhibiting the progress of the education and advise the  government on long term measures to address the situation which was instantly applied and bring the issue back on track and effort is in this direction to making it into reality.

I am sure  we are all witnessed how the far journey has fared so far, in terms of building of new structures, renovation and remodel, provision of learning and instructional materials, others are laboratory equipments which so far we must admit is as well so good, and something tangible has been achieved in education sector.

GOVERNOR MASARI'S 2017 BUDGET SPEECH

GOVERNOR AMINU BELLO MASARI'S 2017 BUDGET SPEECH.

INTRODUCTION
 Alhamdulillah. I wish to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to Allah (SWT) for sparing our lives and for giving us the strength and wisdom to stand before you today and present the 2017 Budget Estimates, which is tagged “Budget of Stabilization”.

I have no doubt in my mind that from the date we took over the administration of Katsina State, the art and process of governance in the State have completely changed to a process where people always come first.

 Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members of Katsina State House of Assembly, I wish to reassure you that the present administration is strictly following its designed policies and programmes for the general well being of the people of Katsina State.

We once again express our gratitude to Allah for guiding us to success.

2016 BUDGET REVIEW
  It is common knowledge to all Nigerians in general and people of Katsina State in particular, that the 2016 financial year came with so many challenges. Governments at all levels were and are still battling with dwindling oil revenue arising from the world wide fall of crude oil prices, economic saboteurs, militants in the Niger Delta, Insurgents, Kidnappers, Cattle Rustlers and so on. These have greatly affected revenue generation at all levels. Without these revenues, Governments find it difficult to perform to the expectations of the people. Despite all these,

Katsina State Government was able to accomplish a lot in the areas of Education, Health, provision of potable drinking water for both human and animal consumption, Infrastructural Development, Poverty Alleviation, Economic Empowerment, Security, etc.

Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members of the State House of Assembly, other distinguished guests, let me therefore seize this opportunity to review the performance of the 2016 Budget in the process of uplifting the lives and standard of living of the people of Katsina State.

Malam Shitu S Shitu, State APC Chairman, he was well known in opposition party since from the beginning of the First Republic Politics in 1999, he served different number of political positions in the following opposition parties; APP, ANPP, CPC and now APC which he was one time a State PRO. It was after the APC got the sit of power in 2015, Malam Shitu Maslaha was elevated to lead our party, APC, as the State Chairman. He was no doubt one among the best that prove his courage in fueling the engine of the APC Train to reach its destination.

Did you know that Malam Shitu was two times a Ward Chairman? Yes, he was. In deed, his tireless endeavor to make the opposition clinched on the sit of power is noticeble and deserve recommendation. From then as ward chairman, he passed through the number of positions in the party leadership to the office he occupied today. All these were as the result of his honesty, determination, dedication and perseverance, further more his selfless services to the community he belongs and people around him. One more thing that is very interesting about this responsible man, he is man with strong hold of political creed, he never at once tried changing party from opposition to ruling party no matter how the intimidation he was gone through. He is courageous and not self centered.

Sir, I enthusiastically praise your dedication in the tremendous progress and sanity you brought into our progressive party which you are up to now playing your part as out party state chairman and patriotic individual by contributing into this party and APC Administration for Governor Masari to succeed. More grease to your elbow sir.

AJIYA, MAJIDADI AND GARKUWAN MATAWALLEN HAUSA.

AJIYA, MAJIDADI AND GARKUWAN MATAWALLEN HAUSA.

My attention was drawn to a post that I posted in the evening of Tuesday, concerning the turbaning of senior aides, Alh Ibrahim Umar (Teacher) and Haruna Musa by HRH, the Emir of Daura which I was unable to verify before I made the post.

They were actually conferred with these honorary titles by the Matawallen Hausa, and from the information I posted, I honestly mistook the title's names by assigning Majidadin Matawallen Hausa to Alh Ibrahim Teacher and Garkuwan Matawallen Hausa to Haruna Musa.

While in a real sense, Alh Ibrahim Teacher was conferred as Ajiyan Matawallen Hausa while Mustapha Abdu Saulawa as Majidadin Matawallen Hausa and Hon Sani Aliyu Danlami Garkuwan Matawallen Hausa.

It is my apology for my inability as human being to confirmed the information that I received from a brother and assigned the correct traditional tittle names conferred to these senior aides which they were honored with by the Matawallen Hausa, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari.

SIR AHMADU BELLO'S (SARDAUNA OF SOKOTO) XMAS MESSAGE TO NORTHERN CHRISTMAS IN 1959

SIR AHMADU BELLO'S (SARDAUNA) XMAS MESSAGE TO NORTHERN CHRISTIANS IN 1959.

We are people of many different races, tribes and religions, who are knit together by common history, common interests and common ideals. Our diversity maybe great but the things that unite us are stronger than the things that divide us. Families of all creeds and color can rely on these assurance. We have no intention of favoring one religion at the expense of another. Subject to overriding need to preserve law and order, it is our determination that every one should have absolute liberty to practice his belief. It is befitting on this momentous day, on behalf of my ministers and myself, to send a special word of gratitude to all christian missions. Let me conclude this with a personal message, I extend my greetings to all our people who are christians on this great feast day. Let us forget the difference in our religion and remember the common brotherhood before God, by dedicating ourselves afresh to the great tasks which lie before us.

My take:

Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto, a former Premier of the Northern Nigeria, a true nationalist, an icon of justice and unity, a role model. He unequivocally and undoubtedly proved his patriotism.

He had really sent a confederative word to our fellow christian brothers and sisters calling for our unity. Denoted the coalition of our country Nigeria that has different ethnicities and religious practitioners to stands as one entity. I honestly appreciated his message that had reiterated and emphasized us to live happily in love, peace, unity, harmony, appreciation and understanding the differences of one another. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Therefore, I will like to seize this opportunity, on behalf of myself, my family, APC administration and others, to send my warmly xmas's message to all of my christian friends lively in this medium.

Furthermore, with due honor and respect, I wish to borrow the words of Sir Ahmadu Bello (Sardauna of Sokoto) of the 1959 xmas's message and I willingly and passionately send them again to my christians fellow citizens as my xmas's message for this year and I wish you happy and wonderful celebration come 25th Dec. 2016.

Happy Xmas in advance!
HUDatti.

VISUAL ASPECT EXPLAINS NOT THE HIDDEN ASPECT - Hassan Usman Datti

VISUAL ASPECT EXPLAINS NOT THE HIDDEN ASPECT

I vividly remembered the 2015 political dispensation, in which Governor Masari was not exception among the Governorship contestants through which he was elected the Executive Governor.

 As earlier noted, Governor Masari contested for the office of the Executive Governor under the APC Platform, after he worn the primary election with overwhelming majority. He was fielded as the party candidate to face the PDP ruling party in the General Election. His candidacy had meet with great challenges, the fire was actually ignited and heated by thje PDP cohorts and their loyalists who made number of attempts to destroy Masari's reputation and personality but their mischief became casual, they have instigated lies against his innocent unique individual, they did all what they could in their power in order to tarnish his image and take away from his side thousands of legible voters to carry the majority votes during the 2015 polls but at last they woefully failed.

One incident that I remember which I couldn't forget in my life, it was the acts of thuggery and banditry which the Restoration Project Support Group (Masari Campaign Office) became a victim, they attacked our campaign office and destroyed properties worth huge amount of money. They thought attacking Masari and his campaign team, might could set  a fear and grief in our minds but that transformed to energy that made us strong to challenge them in the 2016 General Election.

During the PDP Electioneering Campaign Tour, Masari have been called after several negative names over the podium, they falsely accused him with so many allegations, they deliberately teared aparts his personality in the eyes of good people of Katsina State, via motion pictures, over the air, through the social media community and in the people gathering all in the name of politics.

But, today in Allah's glory and marcy Masari is the one who got the victory, he is the one that is stirring our affairs, he is the one that is fixing the mismanagement done by the past administration, he is the one that is restoring our hope  to make Katsina State great again. He is the number one Katsina citizen, the Executive Governor of Katsina State, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari, CFR, fnim (Dallatun Katsina).

Life is dynamic, there is no thing in life that is constant and steady fast. There a lot of lessons in life. One lesson I leant and felt sharing it with you. When the Shema was in power, he was highly respected and honored by all of his cabinets, masses and some people from other part of the world. Though, knowing that of his greediness and selfishness, embezzlement and mismanagement but that doesn't seem reason to interfere in his administration by elites and members of his cabinet for forwarding pieces of advise.

Today Shema was no longer the Governor of Katsina and we saw where he end up in EFCC custody. What a shame for a former Governor that earned the respect and honor to be in a custody even for an hour. It is really a shameful and bad fate. In democratic government, leadership with deliverance of justice, transparency and dividend of democracy is only what unhooked actions of a leader when it was hooked with charges in a court, in this world and hereafter.

Lastly,I seek Almighty Allah (SWA) to guide, protect Governor Masari and members of his council and bless every decision they took through out the first and second tenures of APC Administration.
