The game of politics in Nigeria has left a lot of people amazed; the way it is being played from the local level to the federal level. We have all experience politics filled with violence, thuggery, corruption, vote buying, to mention a few. It has now become like it is meant for some certain set of people, it has become like only some people are fit to practice politics.
Most people don’t even get to know their representatives because they came up as a result of god-fatherism and someone that hasn’t even been to a particular constituency all his life can emerge as the representative.

However, a reformation is about to take place In Oyo state House of Assembly, Egbeda constituency as the APC Flag-bearer, Hon Usman Olelekan Buraimoh, AKA Ultra, has a very different story from others who has sat in this same position.
Usman Olalekan Braimoh, Aka Ultra, grew up in Ibadan, from Lamini compound. He had his entire Primary and Secondary School Education in Oyo state. He then proceeded to Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) to where he got a Diploma in Law. Thereafter, He went to Lead City University, Ibadan formally Ambrose’s Alli University; he had accreditation issue so his parents told him to embark on some professional courses. I did computer and networking, I had my DBA, MCSE, in ABTEC, and I had the opportunity to travel abroad to the University of Leicester, I finished as a computer and information forensic, then I later proceeded to the University Of Teesside for my Masters. I came back, got another degree in International Relations, and went to University of Ibadan (UI) to study German language.
When moving round the streets of Ibadan, Oyo state, precisely Egbeda Local Government, the kind of encomium he receives is almost like that of a governor which shows how loved he is in the community and his constituency. While speaking with journalists about his ambition; when asked, he revealed the reason behind it.

“I don’t give them money, I listen to them and in every situation, I put myself in their shoes, I have had to beg for money. I trekked from Challenge to Iwo road, because one destiny helper assisted my academics tussles with N5,000 and I couldn’t remove N70 transport fare from it, because I thought to myself; removing transport fare from that money would hinder the plans of using the money to obtain my Jamb form; If I had someone to give me 100naira that day, the person would have been my god. Hence, I try to be the answer to people’s immediate prayer; they rally round me because I listen to them”
One of his major plans for the people which others don’t have is bringing government close to the people, making the people know their representative; although, he has no issue with the people of Egbeda Local Government identifying him. He has lived there all his life, played ball on every field in the local government, knows almost everybody in every junction, been to every spots since he was a child but it is always about bridging the gap between the people and government and bridging the gap between the government and the people. While speaking on how to implement this, he talked about his strategies.

‘’ If I say people should expect good governance, it has been over said. What they should expect is, Government of their own, by their own and for their own. I can tell you the junctions in Egbeda, they know I am one of them and what they should expect is bringing government and its gospel to every door step. like they all know, one of the first thing I’m going to do is to establish a constituency office in every ward which others don’t do, I will be separating party from governance; In larger wards where they have enormous population, if I may, I would have two or three constituency office there. They don’t want my money but they want to have complaint points, where to report their grievances. Others took government far to them, you only see your representatives on TV, I have never seen our present Representative before, he is going about begging for votes; he won’t get re-election, people are now wise. When you bring government to the people you will not do much, when they see you here today and talk to them; they will spread your ideas, visions and efforts you are putting together to serve them.
I’m not contesting because I want to be anything. Aside from the title and the prestige, I want to create leverage for my children, grandchildren, to ride upon. The incoming Governor of this state who is Adelabu’s grandson rode on the pedestal of his grandfather; I want to consent that legacy for my grandchildren. His election will be a walk-over, look around, it is him or him because his father has done well for the people. I told my team that we have to make a communal development every month, I have 48months to represent our people which means I would have affected 48 communities’

Furthermore, while speaking on godfatherism in APC, he revealed that the Party has nothing to do with such.

‘Progressive has nothing to do with godfatherism, it’s about giving honour to whom it is due, godfatherism is separated from governance, Tinubu isn’t a godfather, he is a great leader who took Lagos, Southwest, Nigeria to where they ought to be’.

PUBLIC NOTICE: URGENT APPEAL FOR PEACE AND SECURITY IN RIVERS STATE: A CALL TO ACTION FOR THE PRESIDENT*

**PUBLIC NOTICE: URGENT APPEAL FOR PEACE AND SECURITY IN RIVERS STATE: A CALL TO ACTION FOR THE PRESIDENT**

Dear Esteemed Citizens of Nigeria,

Advertisment

As concerned citizens and representatives of the Dwellers of Coastal and Waterways Communities of Africa (DCWCA), our hearts weigh heavy with concern for the safety and security of our beloved nation, particularly in Rivers State. Recent developments have seen allover the internet news online a troubling plot that threatens to undermine the peace and stability painstakingly built by our coastal communities.

We are gravely disturbed by reports indicating a sinister scheme aimed at disrupting the commendable efforts of Royal Fouchee Security Limited, spearheaded by the esteemed Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari. It pains us deeply to learn that the very guardians of our security, the Nigeria Security Agencies, are allegedly orchestrating an assault on the dedicated workers of Royal Fouchee Security Agency and other private security entities in Rivers State.

Advertisment

In this hour of uncertainty, we turn our eyes to the highest office of the land, the esteemed President of Nigeria, with an impassioned plea for intervention. Mr. President, we beseech you to heed our call and use your authority to halt any actions that may endanger the lives and well-being of our coastal citizens. Your decisive action is imperative in preventing further escalation of tensions and preserving the peace that is the lifeblood of our coastal communities.

While we cannot definitively prove the political undertones behind these alarming developments, the whispers of suspicion linger in the air. It is incumbent upon our leaders to rise above partisan interests and prioritize the safety and security of every Nigerian, particularly those in our coastal regions who are vulnerable to various challenges.

Let us not forget the lessons of our past, where political differences were allowed to sow seeds of discord and division among our coastal brethren. Instead, let us unite in solidarity, transcending political boundaries to safeguard the sanctity of our democracy and the welfare of our coastal people.

Mr. President, we implore you to intervene swiftly and decisively, sending a clear message that the security and well-being of every coastal Nigerian is non-negotiable. Your actions today will shape the destiny of our nation and reaffirm our collective commitment to peace, unity, and progress.

With unwavering hope and trust in your leadership,

Dwellers of Coastal and Waterways Communities of Africa (DCWCA)
[Tom Inko-Tariah ACI arb
President/CEO]

In a public notice issued by the Edi Abali Group it states that credible intelligence has revealed plans by elements within the 103 Battalion of the Nigerian Army in Obuama to provoke a confrontation and disrupt the peace in the area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to the notice, the plot specifically targets Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, who is currently out of the country. The army allegedly plans to exploit his absence in order to create a crisis that could be wrongly attribited to the community members, resulting in attacks on innocent individuals. The Edi Abali Group clarifies that there are no issues between their community, the army, and Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari or his company, Royal Fouche Services Limited.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The notice highlights that the tensions arose after Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari spoke out about the involvement of some elements of the Nigerian Army in oil bunkering activities in the Niger Delta. These activities reportedly deprived the government of the much-needed revenue, leading to displeasure among these elements. The group believes that they are deliberately instigating a crisis involving the personnel of Royal Fouche Services to justify an attack on innocent indigenes of the Kalabari communities, particularly in Obuama where Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari is based, as well as the 103 Battalion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr Mpakaboari Pankin Braide said,

 

 

“The army in Obuama is aware of his absence from the country and plans to exploit this to create a crisis, which will be wrongly attributed to community members, leading to attacks on innocent individuals.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Edi Abali Group calls upon the Nigerian Army to be aware of this plot and to ensure that they are not manipulated into compromising peace and security in the area. They also highlight the proven record of collaboration between Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari and Royal Fouche Services Limited with security agencies in combating terrorism, kidnapping, and insurgency.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The group aims to inform the public, as well as the people of Kalabari and Rivers State, about this planned provocation targeting innocent individuals, including Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari. They emphasize his commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government and Governor Sim Fubara-led Rivers State Governments in ensuring the safety and security of all Nigerians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Said Mr Mpakaboari Pankin Braide

Secretary Edi Abali Group Of War Canoe and Chieftaincy Houses,

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We want the public, people of Kalabari and Rivers State to be aware of this planned provocation targeting innocent individuals, including Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, who remains committed to supporting the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government and Governor Sim Fubara-led Rivers State Governments in ensuring safety and security for all Nigerians.”
