In an intervention at the ongoing two-day 34th Summit of the AU, held virtually, the President said:  “As your excellences are no doubt aware, global realities demand that the AU be overhauled, if it must remain relevant in intergovernmental processes.

“We must work concertedly to ensure a productive, self-sufficient and purpose driven organization that will fully serve the interests of the people.

“As we commence the operationalization of this new structure and system, Nigeria demands a truly reformed, efficient and effective AU Commission, one that is fully committed to the discharge of its duties and responsibilities.’’

 Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state has stated that drug abuse has a role to play in the growing insecurity witnessed across the nation. 

 


The Governor who received the Sheikh Ahmed Gumi-led Bandits Repentance Initiative (S-GULBAR Initiative) in Sokoto on Saturday February 6, recalled how a serving Governor met some women who sold drugs in calabashes he thought contained dairy products. 

 

Tambuwal said; 

 

“We should also be mindful of the role that drug abuse plays in fueling the committing of these vices.

“A counterpart of mine, a serving governor once narrated to me an incidence. He told me that he once visited a hamlet and wanted to patronise local women coming back from the market where they had gone to hawk dairy products and stuff, and one of them ran away. He asked what was the problem and was told that she wasn’t carrying dairy products in her calabashes but drugs.

“My colleague told me that much of the drugs used by the kidnappers and violent marauders get to them in this way. For this reason, we must act to overcome this menace of drug trafficking and drug abuse. Otherwise, we will only end up killing the snake without severing its head.”

 

The Sokoto state Governor who further stressed that Islam is a religion of peace, added that the ugly situations witnessed in the country wouldn't have occurred if there had been adequate upbringing of Muslims on the fear of God and the responsibilities of Muslims on their fellow Muslims. 

 

Tambuwal added; 

 

“Had there been adequate upbringing of Muslims on the fear of God and the responsibilities of Muslims on their fellow Muslims, much of these ugly situations would not have to arise.

“This noble mission S-GULBAR have embarked upon is timely, commendable and is what we as state governments should support to salvage budding talents being wasted as terrorists in the north and ensure that peace and prosperity return to our domains."
