1. In recent days, calls have been coming my way and some Team Ramatu Members as we receive congratulations and well wishes over a speculated Senate Mission by our Amazon, the Onyize of Ebiraland and Honourable Minister of State, Federal Capital Territory, Hajia Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu (Ph.D).

2. While it is very satisfactory to think of the White Princess worthy of this Kogi West Senate, it is rather unfortunate those in the inner circle of the Honourable Minister are not yet aware of this decision.

3. To start with, the Honourable Minister of State, FCT, Hajia Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu (Ph.D) was appointed to serve as Honourable Minister in the Next Level Mandate of President Muhammadu Buhari on 21st August, 2019. This appointment is barely 2 Years, 8 months.

4. It is one thing to aspire to lead the good people of Kogi West in the Red Chambers but has Dauuduu Ramatu fulfilled the mandate and trust President Muhammadu Buhari reposed on her?

5. Personally, I am aware of her numerous valueable contributions in the development of Federal Capital Territory Administration. Within these few years, she has, in collaboration with the Principal Minister, brought relevance to the up to date running of the FCT.

6. The doctrine of popular sovereignty brought into Nigerian politics by the White Princess Ramatu denies the justice of a society ordered by inherited rank. It proclaims there is no class which possesses a natural right to rule over other, supposedly inferior classes. Put succinctly, Ramatu believes on the equality of all, justifying properly, the principle of equality in the Nigerian Constitution.

7. To Hajia Ramatu, loyalty of 99.9% is not a loyalty. Hence, she always strive in upholding the virtuous recognition shown to her by President Muhammadu Buhari and it would be disloyal for PMB reading these speculations on social and visual prints when his daughter whom he is so pleased with has not consulted him on the said Senatorial Ambition. No matter the level of your achievements, no one outclasses his or her Masters. For PMB and RTA, it is father and daughter.

8. Where are the speculations emanating from sincerely? Wait a minute, is it based on the numerous support the White Princess Ramatu has shown Kogites? Oh, how sympathising Nigerians could be. What the Honourable Minister has/will continue to do is evident of her satisfying characteristics and showing the humanity in her. It was never for any ambition.

9. I remembered vividly some times ago on our Team Ramatu National Platform when someone out of sincerity displayed some flyers of the White Princess to run for the Senate. She immediately responded: “who is contesting, bring the flyers down, please?”

10. Several meetings have also been held by those who recognised her service to humanity but she persistently said she was not extending her hands for anything in return. Like a liberator, she knew the segmented neutrophils that have affected the social being of her people and she was just being humane with her purposeful style of leadership.

11. We are rather surprised if our mother has overturned what she has long seen as unnecessary at the moment. While we also anticipate into her future endeavours, I am pleased to inform the general public that the incumbent Honourable Minister of State, Federal Capital Territory, Hajia Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu (Ph.D), is not aspiring for Kogi West Senate. If it thus becomes necessary, she will make her official declaration like others have done across the nation.

12. Thus, it is necessary to continue standing by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration as they continue to defend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. While we appreciate Nigerians finding Dauuduu Ramatu of elective position, it is necessary, nevertheless to rather looked into what one can do without being in any elective position as so far displayed in her sincerity of purpose.

The Federal University Lokoja Alumni Association ably led by her National President, Hon. (Comr.) M.S Yusuf paid a congratulatory visit to the 3rd Registrar of the institution on her appointment.

The visit which took place at the permanent site in Felele campus, was aimed at celebrating the Registrar’s intellectual prowess which she displayed during the rigorously screening process conducted by the governing council, that later culminated into her appointment as the 3rd Registrar of the young and promising institution.

The President in his words said “the Alumni Association is happy to have you here as Registrar and it is our hope and wish that you will inject your wealth of experience into the overall development of this institution”. He also solicit the Registrar to operate an open door policy as the Association’s letters will continue to dose into her office, while stating that the Association and Management are partners in progress for the overall development of the institution.

Comr. Yusuf further intimate the Registrar of her forthcoming Alumni Week which is scheduled for the 6th and 7th of May 2022 which will also usher in new Executives, while soliciting her support especially as the Association commenced the building of her National Secretariat at Felele Campus.

Mr M.S Yusuf also commend the workaholic VC for his relentless efforts in doing what is best for the university. Especially the recent School of Health Sciences among other policy agendas. He added that it is a known fact that Professor Akinwumi penchant for excellence negates the activities of the moles. He urged the VC and the management to remain focused and not to be distracted.

The Registrar in person of Mrs. Rebecca Aimiohu Okojie while responding appreciated the Alumni Executives for their visit, while assuring them that she won’t let them down, stating that she is here to contribute he quota to the institution development, and the Alumni is a veritable tool for such contribution.

In her words “most world class Institutions you see or hear about today are so because of the fact that their Alumni are given back to their institutions.

You all must be able to encourage your members not to neglect their alma mater, and that the only way they can be proud of their performance outside is to always regard where they are coming from she said.

While giving the closing remark, the Chairman of the Association Board of Trustees in person of Comr. Ochedi Udale Shuaibu appreciated the Registrar for the audience and further solicited that she use her good office to influence employment for a good numbers of the Alumni who graduated with good grades and are yet to be absorbed into the University so as to consolidate on the mission and Vision statement of the University.
