Mai Mala Buni: Ball boy who dreamed big | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

It is not possible that incumbent Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, who became the chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of governing All Progressives Congress , would weigh more than 90 kilogrammes on the weighing scale.

While he was handed a return ticket unopposed to the office of APC National Secretary in Abuja, back home in Damaturu, the powers that be in Yobe politics, particularly his godfather, Bukar Abba Ibrahim, was resolute that the young man from Buniyadi should succeed Governor Ibrahim Gaidam in 2019. It was from serving as an aide to Governor Gaidam that Buni went on the emerge as the first national secretary of APC and from their became governor, before being moved back to Blantyre Street national secretariat of the party to serve the dual offices of CECPC chairman and Yobe State governor.

One of the few legal maxims sophomores in law get accustomed to is that illegal business has no legal background. Consequently, having been invested with the full powers of party chairman, albeit in an interim mandate, Governor Buni started dreaming big. “If Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, a lowly university teacher without sandals from Otuoke, could climb to the Presidency from deputy governor, through governor and Vice President,” why cannot a little boy from Buniyadi, he must have thought.

There was nothing to show that the Yobe State governor was not enjoying the party office more that the mandate of Yobe voters. The CECPC job must have expanded his horizon and also given him a plausible excuse to relinquish the Damaturu Government House to the godfather who has never slept since 1999.

At the height of the Zamfara State imbroglio, Senator Kabiru Marafara said why Buni was breaking every known law was because he did not go to school, stressing that he was clinging to the chairmanship of CECPC to serve his personal interest. The Senator disclosed that he wanted to tell Buni that Zamfara was not Yobe, since according to him, “it appears APC national headquarters is at loggerheads with rules and procedures. They want to prove at every point that they are lawbreakers and uneducated.”

From experience, especially in management, Buni seems assured that no two wrongs can make one right. If therefore APC could flout its constitution and saddle him with the chairmanship of the controversial CECPC, nothing stops him from turning the committee into a tank of selfish political gambles.

He is still dreaming 😃
