Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed deep disappointment over what he described as political betrayal by Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf and some of his close allies.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

News reports that Kwankwaso made the remarks during an interview with Trust TV held at his Kano residence on Sunday, where he spoke extensively on political loyalty, insecurity, education, and past political disputes.

Responding to questions about Governor Yusuf’s alleged comments on political defections, Kwankwaso said he never anticipated such a development, stressing that he had placed strong trust in the governor.

Speaking in a Hausa proverb, Kwankwaso said, “ina ruwan jaka da inda aka ajiye ta,” meaning “a bag has no control over where it is placed.”

“I never expected betrayal from him. I gave my final trust, but today you can all see where it has led us,” he said.

The former presidential candidate also criticised some individuals who benefited from his administration’s educational policies, alleging that some of those sponsored for studies have now turned against the political movement that supported them.

He said, “Some of the people we sponsored in school were very young then, but today they are the ones speaking against us. I’m happy many of them have now kept quiet.”

On former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi’s single-term pledge, Kwankwaso noted, “We have an agreement with Peter Obi that he would serve only one term. But if he later decides to go for a second term, let him continue; we know how to handle that.”

Kwankwaso also linked rising insecurity and terrorism in some states to inadequate investment in education.

He added, “If you look at states battling insecurity and terrorism, many of them have failed to properly invest in education the way we did during our time in Kano.”

The football utilized by Diego Maradona to score his controversial “Hand of God” goal against England during the 1986 World Cup has been auctioned in the United States for £2.5m.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Adidas Azteca ball brought in $3.3m via Heritage Auctions on Saturday, which fell short of the estimated £7.3m ($10m) projection from experts.

Key details of the historic item and match include:

  • The Match: The ball was in play for the entirety of Argentina’s 2-1 quarter-final victory against England at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

  • The Infamous Goal: Maradona scored both of Argentina’s goals, with his first involving him punching the ball past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton—an infraction missed by the referee. Post-match, Maradona famously attributed it to “a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God”.

  • Goal of the Century: Minutes later, the Argentina captain scored a legendary solo goal, weaving past five outfield players and rounding Shilton.

  • Prior Ownership: The ball was kept for over three decades by Tunisian referee Ali Bin Nasser, who officiated the match. He initially sold it in 2022 for £1.74m ($2.37m), though a subsequent attempt to sell it in 2023 did not meet the reserve price.

  • Related Memorabilia: This auction follows the 2022 sale of Maradona’s Argentina shirt from the same match, which fetched £7.1m.
