In Kebbi, We Need Security And Aminu Bande Is The Answer—Party Chieftain

As the D-Day draws closer for the March 18 governorship elections across 28 States in Nigeria, a chieftain of one of the political parties in Kebbi has picked Aminu Bande as the man who the cap fits to re-engineer security of life and property.

Mr Aminu Bande, a retired major general of the Nigerian Army, is the governorship candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in Kebbi State.

Speaking to select journalists at Abuja airport Wednesday afternoon, the party chieftain who pleaded for anonymity being that he is a state chairman of his party with State Assembly candidates, explained that what Kebbi needs at the moment is a man who understands the security loopholes in Kebbi.

He noted that that Aminu Bande who had served as the General Officer Command, GOC, Nigerian Army 8 Division, Sokoto State, a neighbouring State to Kebbi, has the intelligence, understanding, research knowledge and capacity to provide the needed security in the State.

“We live in fears. Farmers cannot go to farms. Businesses are closing up because of insurgency. We need to be alive to enjoy other things in life. Therefore, security is very important to us and Bande can provide it,” he emphasized.

Speaking recently, Aminu Bande urged Kebbi voters to trust him with their votes saying “I have the capacity, going by my training to bring security to Kebbi state. My people in Kebbi, I promise to be fair to all groups in Kebbi, I will provide the needed fertiliser before the rainy season at a subsidised price if elected governor in this election,” he promised, among other things.

It would be recalled that recent reports indicate that the increasing cases of insecurity in Chonoko community in Kebbi state, has contributed immensely to the abrupt decline in professional healthy care delivery, education services and other humanitarian interventions in the states.

“Farmers in some surrounding villages have resorted to paying levies to the bandits in order to gain access to their agricultural fields and conduct farming activities. Nevertheless, agricultural activities have reduced drastically thereby leading to corresponding increase in food crisis

“Most of the schools in Kebbi villages are closed down due to fear of bandit attacks, thus affecting educational sector in that area

“Healthcare system delivery is being dragged to the mud as the General Hospital was forced to offer skeletal services.

“Chonoko town is suffering from lack of potable water supply as investigation showed that the IDPs and the residents battle to get water for domestic purposes from the only two available boreholes present within the community. In fact, people used to spend the night queueing in order to get water for their daily needs.

“The over 10, 000 Chonoko IDPs are living under hardships as they lack basic necessities of life. These include but not limited to adequate food, shelter, medications, clothes, detergents and other vital household items necessary for living a good life,” the reports revealed.

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
