It is over a week since the arrest and eventual detention of a Students’ Leader and critic Comrade Aminu Harsanu Guyaba after been presented before the court of law where he was charged for critizing the Executive Governor of Bauchi State, His Excellency Sen. Bala Muhammad Abdulkadir.
However, since then, several appeals and at some instances protest were carried out both virtually (on media platforms) and physically calling on the state government and authorities for his realise. This was done by students and his comrades claiming that there are many critics of the government all over the media doing more than what Guyaba did and no one cared to stop or question their activities.
To some, the arrest of Guyana is nothing but, a show of lack of resistance to criticism on the part of his excellency as against his being an experienced and standstill politician that have been going round the country presenting himself to be. Thus, whatever people may have or want to conclude in future, today 24 May, 2022 Aminu Harsanu Guyaba is celebrating one of the best day of his life in detention. This is a day which brought to his family the joy of their lives. His birthday which he would have celebrate in front of a designated cake round with flowers, balloons among his family members, friends and other compatriots of a feather.
Unfortunately, only God knows what a situation he is passing through wherever he is. Who knows if he can even remember what this day is to him as against the usual remainder by Media platforms, banks and love ones? What a pity?
Emphatically, like we did days ago, we want to remind His Excellency that Aminu Harsanu Guyaba is his child who was there through thick and thin to see that his government was brought to power. He has played vital role in campaigning and securing votes for him. On that note, we believe no matter the grievance Guyaba deserves a better treatment from his excellency. Hence, Aminu is not more than a child that Kauran Bauchi should have kneel and lunch a Koboko on.
For that, we believe our outcry will not be like that of a fowl because many people from afar has started laughing at us and our government.
