A state governor in Nigeria has been described as the most useless in the country.

Kadaria Ahmed, a veteran journalist from Zamfara State has described her state governor, Abdulaziz Yari, as the ‘most useless.’

Ms. Ahmed gave the description while taking part in a protest in Abuja on Saturday, asking State and Federal authorities to stop the rise in incessant killings recently witnessed in her state.

“As far as I am concerned, that Governor is the most useless governor in the history of Nigeria,” the journalist, who moderated the 2019 town hall meetings for presidential candidates, said when accosted by reporters.

Ahmed said Mr Yari who has been elected a senator under the All Progressive Congress (APC) was running the affairs of the state from the nation’s capital, Abuja.

The senator-elect, prior to this year’s general election had lamented over the spike in the killings going on in the State. He had pledged to step aside if that was the only solution to halt the act. Yari is yet to do so.

“Quote me, he is the most useless governor in the history of Nigeria. This is a governor whose reaction to the killings in his state was to resign as the Chief Security Officer. He went on the record to say that he cannot be the Chief Security Officer. So, I don’t know what he is still doing in office; he doesn’t care,” she continued.

“He only cares about the people of Zamfara when it comes to politics. The fact that they are getting killed does not concern him. He lives most of his time here in Abuja. How can you govern a state for eight years from Abuja? What sort of leadership is that? We are so happy he is on his way out,” she added.

While describing the outgoing governor as a hopeless leader who has not done well for the people of the state, the veteran journalist called on President Muhammadu Buhari to act in curtailing the situation.

Buhari Should Be Blamed – Lawyer

Reacting, Inibehe Effiong, a legal practitioner said the situation in the state is caused by religious and tribal politics played by Nigerians wherein those elected are not held accountable.

Mr Effiong wondered what Mr Buhari would be described as if a governor can be described as a ‘most useless.’

“I wonder how Buhari, who is the C-in-C, will be described. It is now very convenient to blame the governor over the killings in Zamfara State,” the lawyer said on Sunday.

“The President is defended, excused or begged to intervene by those who have been blinded by ethnic, religious or political sentiments.

“Goodluck Jonathan was blamed for the killings in Borno State. Have we forgotten the ferocious attacks on Jonathan’s government by the Borno Elders Forum? Why have we not heard a word from the Zamfara Elders Forum? How about the Arewa Consultative Forum? Are they not bothered?” Effiong queried.

Mr Jonathan who sought re-election during the 2015 general elections lost to Buhari largely due to insecurity occasioned by attacks from Boko Haram terrorists.

For the lawyer, the president should be blamed for the killings going on in the state since.

“So what changed? Where is the outrage against President Buhari? Why are we putting the blame on the governor over the killings in Zamfara State instead of President Buhari?” Effiong asked.

Am here to read comments

Kogi state governor is the worst

I am an Igbo, I was born an Igbo, I live the life of an Igbo, I come from Igbo, I speak Igbo, I like to be Igbo, I like to dress in Igbo, I eat Igbo food, my heritage, culture and tradition is Igbo, my parents are Igbo.
Am sorry I cannot help it if you hate my lineage. Am sorry I cannot help it if you detest Igbo, am sorry I cannot help it if you hate me because am Igbo. Igbo is who I am, my name is Igbo and I must die an Igbo.
You see Igbo as a threat, why? You call Igbo rapist, criminals, ritualist, prostitutes, kidnappers. You attribute all negative vices to represent Igbo? Why do you do that? You do because you feel threatened that Igbo might outrun the rest of the tribes. Why do you hate Igbo and despise us? You do that because we are creative, enlightened, hardworking, industrious, genius, intelligent, smart, rich, beautiful and amazing. But its difficult for you to admit it because you feel jealous of my race.
Igbo do not own politics, Igbo do not control the economy neither do we control the natural resources and the common wealth of the nation. You do, we don't and yet, despite the fact that you own everything, we still remain one indispensable race that has outshined the other race in all ramifications. You fear us because you want to exterminate and annihilate our race, you deny us many things and yet we are stronger, richer and mightier. You fear us because we are everywhere. You fear us because no matter how rural a place might be, when Igbo steps in, they turn it into a Paradise. We have our own resources, which lies in resourcefulness, we do not bother you and your control over the polity, but yet when we cough you and the other race begin to shiver.
Am proud being an Igbo, am proud of my heritage and culture. Igbo means high class, Igbo means independence, Igbo means hard work and strength, Igbo means riches, Igbo means resourcefulness, Igbo means self belonging, Igbo means self esteem, Igbo means pride, Igbo means swag.
Udo diri unu umunnem

Am Proud To Be IGBO!

Let's tell the world who we are!

I WAS EXPECTING AKEREDOLU NAMES TO POP UP

I second ur motion

Yari isn't the one in charge of security agencies. She should channel most of her grievance to Buhari

Apart from all the fools that have been governing Kogi state since independence, the east, south east and south south has the worst of governors ever!

Forget all this chest beaters online, when you travel to the east and south south, you will weep for them. They are like 20 years behind compares to what we have in Lagos, ogún, Ọ̀yọ́ etc.

I wonder what their useless governors use all the fed allocations given to them to do.
A typical example is T.A orji of Abia. That useless old fool is supposed to be jailed for life.
The reigning Idìot now is Yahya Bello of kogi.

Person FATHER

All of them in Nigeria Abeg

I laugh in Macedonia language

So what is stopping him from being impeached if he is not competent enough..

They should ask her to describe Buhari.

Gov. Okezie Ikpezie of Abia is the worst... God will punish him

He is not bothered, after all he is a senator-elect.

Yaya hello is number one

Not just your governor, even zamfara state is the most useless state in the country. A state that contributes nothing to the country's GDP shouldn't be needing a useful governor
