Bakura Predicts Defeat for Zamfara Governor Dauda Lawal in 2027 Election

GUSAU, ZAMFARA — A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Deputy Coordinator of the 2023 campaign, Yusuf Abdullahi Bakura (MD), has expressed confidence that the people of Zamfara State will vote out Governor in the 2027 governorship election.

Bakura made the declaration while addressing political developments in the state, insisting that the political tide has shifted in favor of the (APC). According to him, a significant number of residents have abandoned the ruling party in the state and are now aligning with the opposition.

He stated that dissatisfaction with the current administration has fueled growing support for the APC across various communities in Zamfara, adding that the party is already positioning itself to reclaim power in the next electoral cycle.

“By the grace of God, the people of Zamfara will defeat Governor Dauda Lawal in the next election. The majority of the people have returned to the APC and no longer support the current government,” Bakura reportedly said.

Political observers note that although the next governorship election is still over a year away, early statements such as Bakura’s reflect intensifying political maneuvering and mobilization among parties in Zamfara State. The state has witnessed shifting political alliances and internal party realignments since the 2023 elections.

Governor , who assumed office after winning the 2023 governorship election, has continued to face criticism from opposition figures over governance and security challenges in the state. However, supporters of the administration maintain that reforms and development initiatives are underway.

Analysts believe the 2027 governorship contest in Zamfara could be highly competitive, given the state’s volatile political landscape and the strategic importance of party loyalty among grassroots voters. The coming months are expected to witness increased political engagement, coalition-building, and campaign groundwork by major parties seeking to secure victory.

For now, Bakura’s remarks underscore the early onset of political contestation in Zamfara, signaling what may become an intense battle for control of the state in the next election cycle.

BREAKING: FG Approves 40% Pay Rise —Non-Academic Staff Left Out

Image
Nigeria’s university system has been thrown into fresh debate following confirmation that the Federal Government’s newly approved 40% salary increase applies strictly to lecturers, leaving non-academic university workers completely excluded from the landmark deal. The historic agreement, signed between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), ends a 16-year renegotiation stalemate and delivers a major financial boost to academic staff alone — professors, readers, senior lecturers, and other teaching personnel in federal universities. ZANCEN YAU 247 has gathered that , according  to official details of the agreement, the 40% increment is tied to the Consolidated University Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONUASS) and enhanced academic-specific allowances, particularly the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA) meant for research, publications, conferences, and teaching support.     ZANCEN YAU 247    has l...

Nigeria’s Ivory Towers in Ruins: An Investigative Look at the Dilapidated State of Nigerian Universities

Image
Across the country, Nigeria’s public universities — once proud centres of academic excellence — now tell a story of chronic neglect, crumbling infrastructure, and systemic failure.  Despite repeated government promises, reforms, and intervention funds, the reality on the ground remains stark: lecture halls are dilapidated, hostels overcrowded or unsafe, laboratories obsolete, and academic activity repeatedly disrupted by strikes and funding shortfalls. A Legacy Fading: What We Saw in the Country’s Premier Institutions At the University of Ibadan (UI), Nigeria’s oldest university and once a symbol of academic strength, the decay is unmistakable. Cracked walls, leaking roofs, and peeling paint scar once-majestic buildings, even iconic landmarks such as Trenchard Hall. Frequent power outages force reliance on noisy, polluting generators. Road networks within the campus are potholed, and water scarcity undermines hygiene.  “We are trying to provide a world-class educat...

BREAKING: US Finally Withdraws from WHO

Image
The United States has formally withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO), a move that strips the UN health agency of one of its largest financial contributors and marks a major shift in global health diplomacy. The withdrawal follows an executive order signed a year ago by US President Donald Trump, who repeatedly accused the WHO of being overly “China-centric” in its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision  ZANCEN YAU24  understood has now taken full effect, confirming the US exit from the global health body. In a statement, the US Department of Health and Human Services said the withdrawal was based on what it described as the WHO’s “mishandling” of the Covid-19 crisis, its failure to implement meaningful reforms, and what it called undue political influence from member states. ZANCEN YAU24 learned that the the World Health Organization has strongly rejected the allegations. WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described the US dec...
