DAILY RENDEZVOUS

Daily Rendezvous  By George Kushi It is becoming expressly clear that anti-democratic forces are hell -bent on sabotaging due process in Adamawa state. The lessons of the past few days is a pointer to that following the foolhardy boast of Aishatu Binani and the inept handling of the governorship elections and consequent declaration that the election result is " inconclusive". Since Attahiru Jega introduced this despicable term some years back,Nigerians have come to associate it with falsehood and the criminal attempt to defraud the electorate. It is abundantly clear that " inconclusive" applies to areas where the APC appears to be losing elections.  The governorship elections screams loud in today's circumstances. With a whooping margin ,by far exceeding the results in Kaduna and Ogun states,the outcome of the results in Adamawa has been adjudged as" inconclusive" by a visibly biased umpire that has been caught on phone making highly compro...

Daily Rendezvous  The Binani campaign organisation is not surprised to read a misleading and false prediction of the Adamawa Governorship election of March 18th from   a former lawmaker Hon. Mamman Hassan Burguma who is drowning and seeking attention from the outgoing Government of the Peoples Democratic Party in the State.  Burguma's claim that Binani lacks capacity to Govern Adamawa State is laughable, for a lawmaker who failed to secure re-election from a meagre 6 wards to think he has a voice and political standing to speak about a former house of representatives member, and a serving senator who against all odds won a keenly contested Governorship primary election and has dramatically changed the political landscape of the state is only self deceiving and hypocritical. It was Binani's victory that pushed the Fintiri led administration to change its Deputy Governorship candidate with a woman, it was the strong movement of Binani's support that forced ...

Daily Rendezvous   By George Kushi Once again charlatans are at work. With nothing to do other than to create mischief,a hired pen is at work trying to conjure an image of criminal scheming that has failed to impress due to the fact that nothing is outside normal politicking. From all indications,the Binani camp has been flustered and is desperate to hold on to imaginary narratives of possible political life-saving measures. In any event this new strategy will not work. The PDP campaign team is well aware of the desperation  that has forced the Binani camp to employ  writers whose styles exposes their identities. Even more interesting is that the perceived author  might be a fictitious Dahiru Sani sponsored to create a diversion and corrupt the minds of a few gullible people. However,this article ,full of mischief demands scrutiny not because it has any merit ,but because false statements,coupled with irrational thoughts need explanations. It is inte...

Daily Rendezvous  Fellow Nigerians, it is with a heart full of sadness that I address you today.  I have in the last three decades devoted my life to the battle to birth and deepen democracy in our country. It was a battle that started during the military era. It was a struggle that nearly caused me my life and that of my son, Adamu, in Kaduna. I survived the assassination only by the mercies and grace of God. Following that attack, I was forced into exile. But that attack claimed the precious lives of some police officers. That was not all: my businesses were nearly crippled and my signature business was eventually appropriated by the maximum ruler of that era. My commitment to enthroning democracy ensured that I joined forces with other compatriots. As a leader of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP), we fought and won the 1993 presidential election, which was acclaimed as the fairest and freest election in our history. Sadly, Chief MKO Abiola, who embodied ...
