INSTEAD of being angry with Senator Adamu Aliero, Kebbi Central, for resolving the disputes over rights between citizens and cows, in favour of the animals, Nigerians should be grateful to him for his candour. He has introduced more meanings in the animal rights conversations that have dominated the country's farmers-herders crises from the previous century.

It’s been 31 years since a seismic event triggered by the June 12, 1993 election nearly brought Nigeria to its knees.

It is a puzzle that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration has dragged the 36 state governments to court to compel them to respect the autonomy of the 774 local governments, often touted, though erroneously, as the third tier of government and the government that is closest to the grassroots.

Let me wager that all the true Omoluabi's are in retreat right now. The ‘real' ones never joined the Tinubu train ab initio, anyway.

But for the ministerial presentations on the achievements of the President Bola Tinubu administration in its first year, christened Ministerial Sectoral Update, which began on Tuesday May 21 at the National Press Centre in Abuja, many may not have known or appreciated the quantum of work that has been done by the government within such a short period of one year in office.

For the deposed Kano Emir, Aminu Bayero, it was not a matter of if but when. The moment the Supreme Court upheld Governor Abba Yusuf's election in January, Bayero knew the governor would need the throne to pay his debt.
