It is said that a candidate’s victory is assured, by the grace of God, when the former Governor of Adamawa state, Admiral Murtala Hammanyero Nyako, a.k.a Baba Maimangoro gives the endorsement blessing.
This can be seen in the instance, even while in exile, Baba Maimangoro endorsed Senator Muhammadu Umaru Jibrilla, a.k.a Bindow for Governor and it came to pass.
Bindow was however to break the pact, having failed to revive the skills acquisition programmes and social welfare schemes aimed at human capacity development that were quashed following the unlawful impeachment of Governor Nyako.
Nyako in Maiha launched “O Jippa Tan” to quash the “Bring Back Bindow” and the rest remains history that you all know, presenting the experience of the present government in the state.
Has the Fintiri led government reintroduced the Nyako initiatives rather holistically. If it does, would Nyako have considered supporting a daughter with humility, who apparently has a covenant with courage and compassion; a commitment to less privileged children, women and youth empowerment by means of skills acquisition programmes and social welfare schemes, which moralise the Nyako’s?
Baba Maimangoro has since identified himself with the amazon Binani’s aspiration aimed at getting the state out of the maze by means of delivering good governance. This can best be seen in the active activities of Sen AbdulAziz Nyako, who would apparently take after Sen Binani in the 10th National Assembly.
“In Nyako, there’s no two sims; when he lends his support to one direction, he moves on to ensure success by God’s grace. He has agreed to grace the Governor-In-Waiting flag off campaign that President Muhammadu Buhari himself would have the honour to participate,” a political pundit would point out.
It is not out of place to suppose that Baba Maimangoro, joined by Prof. Ahmed Modibbo Mohammed, would be among the top dignitaries to receive President Muhammadu Buhari for the Binani’s governorship flag off rally on Monday in Yola.
According to Adamu Ibraheem Jimeta, “ahead of Her Monday flag off, the Adamawa APC Governorship candidate, Her Excellency, Most Distinguished Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed (Binani) has this morning, received His Excellency Admiral Murtala Hammanyero Nyako (Baba Maimangoro) at Yola International Airport.
“Baba Mai Mangoro is in Yola to grace the invitation of Sen. Binani for her governorship flag off, slated for Monday in Yola.
“Senator Binani was joined by her husband Prof. Ahmed Modibbo Mohammed, Sen. AbdulAziz Nyako and a host of other distinguished dignitaries”.
