Sultan Abubakar, Magajin Garin Sokoto, Hassan Danbaba, reconcile
The grandson of late Ahmadu Bello, Premier of Northern Nigeria, Hassan Danbaba, has been reconciled with the Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar III.
The Sultan was and the kingmaker engaged in public disagreement last week with Mr. Danbaba rejecting his kingmaker title of Magajin Garin Sokoto.
Palace sources told PREMIUM TIMES that the Emirs of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi I and that of Gwandu, Muhammad Bashar, sealed the final peace pact between the two.
The two emirs conveyed a meeting between the Sultan and Mr. Danbaba Saturday afternoon, to iron out the differences.
Mr. Danbaba was asked by the two monarchs to apologise to the sultan, pointing out to him that as sultan, Mr. Abubakar is a father figure to him.
“The mediators asked the Magajin Gari to apologise to the sultan for his conduct and the sultan accepted the apology,” the source said.
The feud between the two was sparked by Mr. Danbaba’s opposition to the conferment of the title of Marafa on a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Inuwa Abdulkadir.
Mr. Danbaba had on Wednesday walked out on the sultan at a follow-up meeting to reconcile him and Mr. Abdulkadir.

He later announced his abdication of his position.
However, with the reconciliation, the two leaders have accepted to burry the past and forgive each other, according to a source at the peace parley.
Mr. Danbaba confirmed the reconciliation to PREMIUM TIMES.

Again, Presidency replies Amnesty International over report on killings

President Muhammadu Buhari The Presidency has accused Amnesty International of drawing “wrong conclusions” in its latest report highlighting the failure of the Nigerian government to check rampant killings in the last three years. The Nigerian Army had earlier dismissed the report, demanding the withdrawal of the group from the country, while the Presidency in its initial response “expressed concerns” about the group’s report. But in a more measured tone Thursday, the Presidency, through spokesperson Garba Shehu, commended Amnesty International for some of its conclusions, but said its evidence gathering was flawed.

legal practitioner, Mr. Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe, has filed a notice at the Federal High Court in Abuja to discontinue the suit he instituted seeking the disqualification of President Muhammadu Buhari for lack of a certificate. Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe had alleged that Buhari was not qualified to aspire for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because he did not sit for the Cambridge West African School Certificate (WASC) in 1961 as he claimed. The notice of discontinuance dated June 27 and obtained by THISDAY, read: “Take note that the plaintiff in this originating summons, Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe, hereby discontinues this action.” THISDAY checks revealed that following the withdrawal of the suit from the court, the trial judge, Justice Ademola Adeniyi will today sit and accordingly strike out the case. Though Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe did not give any reason for withdrawing the case from court, THISDAY gathered that it might not be unconnected with alleged threats to hi...
