THEIR WORD OUR SWORD:by musa B shinkafi.+2348036888638.Let me start by emphasising that I am of northern youth assembly zamfara state chapter, member As you read this piece, you will most often come across the usage of the pronoun we. Im just basically referring to A.Y.A.Adjoining PDP as a front in the fight for the liberation is based on my conviction that the party is about the only formidable partner or platform on which we can stand tall against the encroachment of opposition. Before now, I had proposed to do credentials and profile check of all the likely candidates especially for the position of governor in zamfara state. Though, Im still not doing that yet, however, going by the recent development within PDP, I am obliged to say a few words especially considering the opposition tantrum, the way and manner they have been celebrating an imaginary and perceived Oligarchy within PDP. Nothing should baffle a soldier more than seeing his own co-combatant being celebrated by his arch enemy. In a war front, a soldier who hobnobs with the enemy can easily be mistaken for an enemy too (atleast I learnt that in the Rules of Engagement Course) and such may be referred to or tagged an esponage. When such is evidently noticed, the mole is quickly taken care of and of course without feelings of regret. No rules of engagement would have been broken when that is done. I In the wake of decamping of some politicians from various other political parties to PDP, there were these contradictory remarks coming from virtually all the members of the opposition, APC. While virtually all of them condemned the moves by some other intending defectors then, like hon. shehu bakauye,gusau/tsafe federal constituency,hon.dangaladima birnin maaji birnin magaji/kaura namoda federal consituency ,hon. hassan moh zurmi,former commisiioner,hon.malami aliyu yandoto former commisioner namo not even a single one of them saw anything wrong in another defector,.Former governor mahmud aliyu shinkafi is at WORK. Obviously, they are insinuating that whichever way the pendulum swings, the ball still resides in the dynastys yard. Gossips rumoured a deliberate plot by the core figures of the dynasty to undermine the liberation struggle. Well, I didnt have any reason to buy the theory. It is pertinent to query that though, speculative, but as blackmailing as this appeared considering the status of the individual involved, I was surprised I didnt read a single refutal either on the pages of news paper or even on social media. Could it have been a truth too difficult to refute or what? Curiously again, while one was welcome and celebrated with red carpet by the opposition, strange as it was, their words and body language were tailored towards approval of the steps taken, the other co-defector was called unprintable names. I remember someone from the APC questioning the achievements of DALLATUN ZAMFARA and disparaging his attainment former governor status. This same individual went further to disdainfully mock the silk as mere donation to him by virtue of his fathers position at a time. I couldnt have kept quiet in the face of this show of disrespect for the highest honour any member of the PDP can dream of and I along with a fellow inlaw alh.nazir ibrahim gusau(abuja) and comrade manir haidara kaura namoda, took on the ignorance of these critics who we later found out didnt even make it beyond OND with a pass grade. It is just too difficult for me to keep quiet in the face of these diabolical demonisation of one while at the same time dignifying the other. It is my opinion that PDP has come all the way and anything that will want to stand on its way in the fight for freedom for zamfara and zamfarawa will never be indulged. Coming further, the intrigues that played out during the last state congress of PDP probably showed a lot than we have seen. Im not going to talk about the congress itself which has been adjudged as free and fair by many, rather, my interest is the hypocritical colouration the opposition are painting the outcome. Interestingly, It is shocking to see the hired opposition social media ranters renting drums and saxophones to celebrate the victory of a particular party member, having majority control of the party executive. Im not as baffled as Im suspicious. The questions I asked were, why is it that this set of people are always the first to celebrate a particular member of the party at any given time and at the same time rebuking others who have even attained more within the party and one who may never even seek for political office (talking of current local government chairmen)? What is party control and how does that translate into automatic victory for any governorship hopeful in the state?. Then I came to the conclusion that the WORD OF ENEMY SHOULD THEN BE OUR SWORD. he more they talk in this manner, the more we should be vigilant, sharpen our sword and re-strategise. Humm, HANNUH KARBA HANNUN MAYARWA. Be as it may, their ceaseless celebration of imaginary control block of the state executive member by an individual, which they know may infuriate the people and the cause of the struggle is to say the least, setting off anger and deliberately killing the high morales of the people and promote low zeal at the same time. I want to say to them, your antics are too cheap to work, not even the docility of the political god son of the tin-god will gullibly fall for this. ALLAH KA ZABAR MANA MAFI ALFERI GA RAYUWAR MU.
