Kwara Is More Of Northern State Than Kano, Bauchi, Katsina ~ Buba Galadima
Alhaji Buba Galadima, a former spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council on Saturday said no northern states in Nigeria can lay claim of being a core Northern state in Nigeria except Kwara and Sokoto.
According to him, the people of Kwara are descendants of Abdullahi Dan Fodio, the Emir of Gwandu who was also the brother of Sheikh Usman Dan Fodio.
Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Galadima said Kwara state is a more Northern state than the likes of Katsina, Borno, Bauchi, Kaduna and others.
Reacting to the criticism that has trailed the appointment of Prof. Ibrahim Agboola Gambari as the new Chief of Staff to the President, Galadima said it is erroneous for some people to claim that the position was not given to a core Northern state.
While arguing that the President can pick his Chief of Staff from any part of the country, he however said no state is more northern in Nigeria than Kwara except Sokoto.
“Which one is core North and which one is core North? That is their imagination. Kwara is more North than every Northern states except Sokoto. Kwara people are disciples of Shehu Dan Fodio, they were the direct descendants of Abdullahi Dan Fodio, Emir of Gwandu who was the junior brother to Usman Dan Fodio”
“Many people don’t understand this politics and they better learn quickly. If there is any place called North, it is Sokoto Gwandu and Kwara Ilorin”.
“Kwara is more of a northern state than Kano, Kaduna, Bauchi. Like I said Kwara people are direct descendants of Uthman Dan Fodio but that is not the issue”.
“The Chief of Staff can come from anywhere or a place. He can come from Yenagoa or Iseyin. He doesn’t have to be from a particular zone”.

We’ve so far linked 14 million BVN with NIN— NIMC DG Aliyu Aziz, director-general of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), says the commission has so far harmonised 14 million bank verification number (BVN) and national identification number (NIN). In 2019, TheCable had reported that the National Pension Commission (PenCom) directed all retirement savings account (RSA) holders to undergo a recapture exercise to link their BVN and NIN to their accounts. PenCom had said the directive was as a result of the federal government’s drive to implement the national identity management system. Speaking at a three-day Africa Tech leaders webinar series on COVID-19, organised by Digital Jewels Limited, Aziz said there is an ongoing harmonisation of BVN with NIN, out of which 14 million has been processed. To scale up NIN enrollment, the DG said NIMC currently has 42 million unique records in the national identity database (NIDB). He said the agency has the mandate of the federa
