Nigeria’s future
‘ll be stable, if...- Sheikh Khalil
By USMAN GWADABE
A MEMBER of Nigerian Council of Ulama, Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil, has
predicted that the future of Nigeria’s democracy will be bright and
stable.
According to him, in the next 12 years, the nation’s polity will be
one of the best democracies produced in contemporary times.
“But this would only be realised if a coup d’etat does not occur to
destabilise the system . This could be as a result of the selfish
interest of the nation’s enemies”, he lamented.
Shiekh Khalil made this prediction in an exclusive interview with
Sunday Triumph, noting that the symbiotic relationship between the
North and South to quash the tenure elongation bid of President
Obasanjo was an indication of blessings for the country.<<more>>

Shekarau swears in two commissioners,
praises KNHA’s cordiality
By ADAMU
ABDULLAHI
TWO new commissiioners have been sworn in in Kano by the state
governor, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, on Friday. They are to oversee the
affairs of the ministries of land and agriculture respectively.
Performing the ceremony, the governor urged them not to disappoint
the people of the state and the legislators who have cleared them
for the post.
Governor Shekarau who expressed delight over the action of the state
Assembly of clearing the commissioners within 24 hours, said it was
a positive development.
He recalled that when there was a friction between the legislative
arm and the executive, people thought that was the end of their
cooperation, brotherhood and cordiality.
The governor said, “it is pleasing that both of us have passed a
test”, adding that , “without passing the test, the cordiality will
not continue to exist”.
He explained that the misunderstanding has strengthened the
brotherhood and cooperation between the executive and the
legislative arms.
Turning to the new commissioners, the governor intimated them that
they were chosen based in their track records, hardwork and
commitment.
He urged them to be dedicated to their new assignment which could be
more challenging and tasking while expressing his appreciation to
those commissioners who resigned their appointments for the
contribution they had rendered while in office.<<more>>
