Muhammadu Buhari made history yesterday on two fronts: the first person to defeat an incumbent president in an election and also, as the first person in Nigeria’s democratic history to have desired power and obtained it!

Violence erupted yesterday at the Murtala Mohammed Square venue of the inauguration of Malam Nasir El-Rufa’i as the Kaduna state Governor. Scores of injured persons were rushed to the nearby Barau Dikko Hospital for medical attention. Trouble started at about 11 am after El-Rufa’i took the Oath Office and the Oath of Allegiance when some unidentified youths started throwing missiles at the VIP stand, directed essentially at the Emir of Zazzau, Dr. Shehu Idris.

Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State has retained the Secretary to the State Government, Rabi’u Sulaiman Bichi in a gale of appointments announced Friday morning in Kano. The appointment was shortly after his inauguration. Bichi served the immediate past Governor, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso in the same capacity.

“I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody,” President Buhari said even as he put earlier pledges to deal decisively with the Boko Haram insurgency with the order to relocate the command and control centre fighting the insurgency to Maiduguri.

Most of the time, we do it to get attention. I know that if I do something like that, it will be all over the news. That’s all I can say. Go and check Jayz , Beyonce, Davido, Wizkid, DJ Khaleed, nobody ever post stuffs without that intention. If you are doing it, you know it will end up in the news.
