Hon. Dalori's Sallah Gesture—A Testament to Grassroots Leadership.

Hon. Dalori's Sallah Gesture—A Testament to Grassroots Leadership.

By Lamido Mohammed 

As Nigeria prepares to mark Eid-el-Kabir, a festival steeped in sacrifice, reflection, and generosity, one political figure stands out for embodying these values in action Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, the Deputy National Chairman (North) of the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a remarkable show of compassion and community engagement, Hon. Dalori has commenced the distribution of 500 rams to residents across Borno State in anticipation of the upcoming Sallah celebration.

At a time when economic hardship has left many families grappling with rising costs, this intervention by Hon. Dalori is not just symbolic—it is deeply significant. It reflects a kind of leadership that understands not only the political pulse of the people but also their socio-economic realities. His gesture is more than mere philanthropy; it is a reaffirmation of the APC's enduring connection to the grassroots.

Represented by Hon. Mustapha Bukar Daima, the APC Chairman of Kaga Local Government Area, the distribution exercise was flagged off with precision and purpose. It is heartening to see party structures functioning beyond electoral cycles providing direct support to constituents and strengthening party loyalty through deeds, not just promises.

Commendations from within the political structure are telling. Hon. Mohammed Sheriff, Special Assistant on Information to Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, aptly described the initiative as “timely and thoughtful,” acknowledging that many families would now be able to partake in the festive season with dignity and joy.

In a society where political goodwill is often measured by promises unfulfilled, Dalori’s gesture speaks volumes. It underscores a leadership model that is proactive, humane, and spiritually grounded. He has set a precedent not just for his peers in the APC, but for politicians across the country.

Indeed, Eid-el-Kabir is a celebration of sacrifice and sharing. And in this act, Hon. Dalori has demonstrated both sharing his resources with the faithful and sacrificing comfort for community upliftment. The reverberations of this kind-hearted gesture will not end at the festival; they will echo in the minds of the people, strengthening the bond between leaders and the led.

To the beneficiaries, it is a moment of celebration. To observers, it is a lesson in leadership. And to Hon. Dalori, it is a well-deserved opportunity to be commended for choosing the path of empathy in service.

As we approach Sallah, may his example inspire more acts of kindness, and may his efforts be rewarded with good health, enduring legacy, and continued trust of the people he so faithfully serves.

Happy Eid-el-Kabir in advance.

Leadership Beyond Power: Why Values, Character, and Vision Must Define Adamawa’s Next Chapter.

Leadership Beyond Power: Why Values, Character, and Vision Must Define Adamawa’s Next Chapter. By Bello Yerima,  Leadership is not a trophy to be won; it is a responsibility to be carried with humility, discipline, and foresight. Politics, at its best, is the organized pursuit of the common good. Yet history local and global teaches us that when leadership is reduced to personal ambition, transactional loyalty, and empty rhetoric, development becomes an illusion and public trust evaporates. As Adamawa State approaches another decisive electoral moment, the question before us is not merely who should lead, but what kind of leadership we are prepared to endorse. The evidence is overwhelming: societies that prosper do so because they elect leaders grounded in values, defined by character, and guided by a compelling vision that translates into tangible development. Roads are built not by slogans, but by integrity. Schools improve not by applause, but by accountability. Jobs...

From Service to Stewardship: The Making of a People’s Representative.

From Service to Stewardship: The Making of a People’s Representative. By: Umar Aliyu  History is often shaped quietly, not by those who shout the loudest, but by those whose lives speak consistently over time. In every society, there are men whose influence is not announced by fanfare, yet whose impact is deeply felt in homes, schools, places of work, and moments of silent struggle. Yamaltu Deba Federal Constituency is blessed to have produced such a man in Rtd Comptroller Yusuf Garba Nadabo a gentleman of service, a disciplined public servant, and a compassionate philanthropist whose life has become a soft but firm testimony to what leadership ought to be. As the political horizon gradually tilts toward 2027, it is both wise and timely for the people of Yamaltu Deba to pause and reflect not emotionally, but thoughtfully on the kind of representation they desire. This is not a season for anger-driven choices or empty excitement. It is a season for calm evaluation, for r...

WHEN LEADERSHIP FAILS, PATRIOTISM RISES: A TRIBUTE TO ENGINEER ADAM AHMED YAYA ( GARKUWAN WAJEN FUNAKAYE)

WHEN LEADERSHIP FAILS, PATRIOTISM RISES: A TRIBUTE TO ENGINEER ADAM AHMED YAYA ( GARKUWAN WAJEN FUNAKAYE). By: Umar Aliyu  In every society, there are defining moments that separate rhetoric from responsibility, noise from substance, and power from purpose. Funakaye Local Government has just witnessed one of such moments. At a time when public confidence in political leadership is dangerously eroding, Engineer Adam Ahmed Yaya has stepped forward with a gesture so profound that it has redefined what genuine service to the people truly means. His provision of instructional materials worth a huge sum of money to the Government Vocational Training Center, Bajoga, is not an isolated act of generosity. It is a bold intervention in a sector long abandoned by those constitutionally mandated to protect it. It is a silent rebuke to governance by excuses and a powerful reminder that patriotism does not require a political office—only a sense of responsibility. Vocation...
