Some APC bigwigs had predicted during the reign of Adams Oshiomhole, as the party’s national chairman, that the party would cease to enjoy federal power after President Buhari’s tenure.

Governor Sani Bello, who addressed the press on Wednesday, said 27 students, three staff and 12 members of their families were abducted. The school has a population of over 1,000 students.
One of the students, Benjamin Doma, was gunned down while trying to escape. The abductors reportedly left him behind in the pool of his blood as they shepherded the students and teachers to the bush.
The Kagara abduction was carried out less than three months after the kidnapping of over 300 students at Government Science Secondary School, Kankara in nearby Katsina State.
The students were released few days after amidst allegations that a huge ransom was paid, a claim denied by the federal and Katsina State governments.
