State PDP Chair Nuhu Bajoga Is Likely New Kaduna's Deputy Governor
In what is seen as the growing political influence of Vice President Namadi Sambo as the political godfather of the new Kaduna State governor, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, Nuhu Bajoga is likely to become the State’s Deputy Governor, SaharaReporters has learned.
Bajoga, the chairman of the Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a former Nigeria Ambassador to Poland.
Despite claims early this week by VP Sambo in which he distanced himself from the hustle for the office of the Deputy Governor in the state, it has been confirmed that he has been indirectly controlling the 44-year-old governor. The Vice-President owns Nalado Nigeria Limited in Kaduna, where Yero was accountant for 10 years.
Another credible source within Kaduna PDP told SaharaReporters confidentially that Bajoga has personally confirmed that some people close to the Vice President intimated him of the decision three days after Governor Patrick Yakowa’s death, and that he has resolved to accept the offer.
It was further gathered that following the burial of Governor Yakowa in his home town of Fadan Kagoma on Thursday, the new governor travelled to Abuja where he met Sambo. There, they finally sealed the deal, and the new governor, upon returning to Kaduna on Friday, started to comply with Sambo’s directives.
Sambo himself arrived Kaduna on Friday evening. Hours later, on Saturday morning, he was present at the PDP State Caucus meeting which was called to officially announce Yero as the new leader of the party in the state.
At the meeting, Bajoga reportedly delivered a speech in which he pledged unflinching loyalty to Yero to justify his new status as the next Deputy Governor.
Bajoga, who hails from Southern Kaduna is from the same local government as the widow of late governor, Mrs. Amina Yakowa.
Bajoga is reportedly under pressure by Southern Kaduna caucus members to reject the offer on the ground that there are more qualified persons. But doing so will have serious political consequence, which is why he is set to accept the nomination. An announcement in that regard is expected early next week.
Your ascertion that "the
Your ascertion that "the deputy governor must be christian" is absurd!
Kaduna state has 3 senatorial zones, top state government office are to be distributed among these zones. And if you are going by religion, Kaduna state has less than 30% christian minority! Based on that, I want you to tell how it is a must for the deputy governor to be a christian.
Do a little research first
My dear frien Vatican, Nuhu Bajoga is a xrian through and through. And he is from S Kaduna. See how ignorance is killing our society?!
confussionist

Tsokaci

Deputy governor

SAMBO POSITIONED HIMSELF LEADER OF GOVT ISLAMIST EXTREMIST
The New deputy Governor must be a Christian. The Southern Kaduna Christians and the generality of the Christians in Nigeria must be ready to reject any attempt by Muslims to Islamize Kaduna government. No wonder during swearing in of Gov. Yero, Muslims were happily celebrating Yekowa's death because they have gotten back what immorally they claim belongs to the Muslims. Jonathan the signs are vividly written by the very Sambo who is now celebrating the end of Jonathan administration with the help of IBB, Abdulsalam and Ciroma etc. Obviously the next person penciled by these criminals to be taken down is Jonathan. It is unfortunate that Jonathan gave his approval to these satanic extremist ill intentions. Sambo in a combined effort with IBB, Abdulsalam triggered the removal of Prof B. Nnaji and sold out Jonathan gave his lame approval. Since Prof Nnaji removal, the only sector Jonathan was excelling has now stalled portraying Jonathan as directionless for the nation.

Deputy Governor of Kaduna
The best person for the position is Mr. Marshal Former Commissioner, SA to Nenadi while she was minister. He is young and an active partispants in the southern kaduna union. He is also have many political followers and an experience person. Bring a person much older than Yero as is being speculated is not political sensible for southern kaduna people.
is he a christian
If the deputy is not a christian then he should reject it-we cannot have Moslem Moslem ticket--Governor and Deputy governor both Moslem-Its only when it suits the heart of the thieves in the Fulani North that they tell u, we should forget about religion--the governor is fulani-why should the owners of the land in kaduna work as slaves for the fulanis always--Boko haram a fulani group has stated openly that they would work to ensure that they kill Yakowa because he is a chrisitian and they did!
Please and Please, Nuhu
Please and Please, Nuhu Bajoga is a christain, the ambassador that was at muslim Pilgrim board was ambassador Sule Buba, Name doesnt tell religion in Kaduna, Nuhu Bajoga is a down to earth believer f christ as his saviour.
Is it a good idea like always
Where were u when d 3 service chiefs were appointed and were Christians, yet Jonathan said the Chief of air staff is from the north - Adamawa.
We r talking about Competence
We r talking about competence, additionally, r u saying Bajoga cannot take up the appointment cos he is a muslim, where were u when all the service chiefs of Navy, Army and Airforce were appointed, none was a muslim and the President said he used Qouta systen and the Christian Airforce Chief is from Adamawa.

why religion issue?
Let forget the religion issue and face reality.what needed is the person that will protect the life and property of the citizen.A person that will have the pity of the poor people.
Haba Mallam ABU SADEEQ, why
Haba Mallam ABU SADEEQ, why the insult? If you have a view to spell why not just do it maturedly rather than elders who has their view and reasons for same. Its high time bro we learn to speak maturedly while respecting others views. What will be will surely be, God the ultimate sees all and knows what we all knows not....pls let's just pray for the best and a lasting peace to our dear country and state.. Peace.
TWO MUSLIMS ??: NEVER AGAIN !!!
We can now see clearly the dangerous direction Namadi Sambo and Muktar Yero are driving to.
How can TWO MUSLIMS be a Governor and a deputy Governor respectively in a Christian Dominated State of Kaduna ????
This is Purely and Invitation to an avoidable fatal Anarchy. No wonder so many people believed that Yakowa was assasinated.
The Church and the World are carefully watching.
bajoga as deputy governor
This can be seen as religious essue
NUHU BAJOGA CANNOT BE THE NEXT KADUNA DEPUTY GOVERNOR
Governor Ramalan Yero is a muslim from the Northern part of the state. Ambassador Nuhu Bajoga is the immediate past chairman of the state Muslims Pligrims Welfare Board, in a complex setting like that of Kaduna the possibility of muslim muslim joint ticket cannot be ever contemplated. There is no doubt Bajoga is from the Southern part of the state. But the realistic snenario is for any of the younger elements like Rev Hayab to be nominated to the vacant position because they can work harmoniously with the new Governor without rancour and can be able to appeal to the consciousness of the youth and even the religious leaders. With people like Rev Hayab in the saddle as Deputy Governor of the state, principles of religious tolerance, peaceful coexistence, equity and fair representation can be guaranteed.
Yes so oh that's Good Idea
Yes so oh that's Good Idea
BAJOGA...A WELCOME IDEA
I often wonderd why some people are trying to opposed what god proposd. These southern caucus must be very stupid for trying to denied nuhu bajoga his destiny. Who are the foolish and sycopant qualified persons that they're talking about? Charity shekari? Felix hassan hyet or wya? As nobody decide for ramalan yero to become governo of the kaduna state so also no has the power to decide on who to become who apart from he (the almighty) so accept your defeat and allow bajoga to be.
