The Man Of The Moment Salihu Tanko Yakasai by Dekadet(m): 2:04pm On Feb 27, 2021
In case you don't know him ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you the most trending man in Nigeria right now...

Mr Salihu Tanko Yakasai, former special adviser to Kano governor on media.

Been a son to a popular second republic politician Tanko Yakasai, Mr Salihu Tanko Yakasai is not a stranger to affairs and happenings in Nigeria.

If you care to know this is not the first time that the former kano governor aid would be getting in trouble with the APC lead kano government as he was suspended about four months ago by kano state governor for criticizing President Buhari on how he miserably handled the EndSars protest on his Twitter handle @dawisu.

I hereby call on all Nigerian youths to put tribalism, religion and what have you a side and support this patriotic Nigerian youth who chooses to stand by the truth against all odds.

He has done something heroic - something that not even those who were voted and claim to be representing the people of Nigeria can not do.

Let's all join hands and raise this young man above this APC led government and upturn what ever effort the government is making to render him irrelevant by sacking him.

So who is Mr Salihu Tanko Yakasai aka Dawisu?

Salihu Tanko Yakasai popularly known as Dawisu on twitter
is a Special Adviser on Media to DI Governor of Kano State.

He was a former Director General, Media & Communications at Government House Kano.

He is also the Founding Curator of Global Shapers Community
of the World Economic Forum Kano Hub.

Salihu Tanko is a journalist by profession, former freelance
reporter for CNN, writer for YPolitico & Ynaija online media
platform.

Mr Salihu is a Harvard Alumni and grassroot politician with two decades of active participation.

He also participates greatly for community development work.

Mynd leave tribalism..Don't deviate from the topic. He may be a tribalist,but he spoke the truth.
The incompetence of PMB is too much. I remember when I made excuses for him pre 2015. I assumed Buhari was gonna let PYO run the administration while he runs the armed forces..But baba decided to do all..The insecurity in the North is too much. I want to just cross from Abuja to Niger state but I am scared.
There's nothing like Arewa hausa or Fulani to this guy's,they kidnap every Tom, dick and Harry and if you don't pay the ransome, you are killed instantly.
We have to start saying the truth in the North and especially Nigeria. We can't continue to receive ourselves. Naija don cast.

He's not any man of the moment. He has been chopping from government since. People should not be deceive by these political actors.

He might've never like it and so couldn't keep mute for long.
For him to have spoken against this government means he had to stomach it long enough.

well if he comes out as a governor or anything one fact will be that he'll be truthful and fair.

well I don't care how you all see it but what I see is one good person standing up to speak against evil, another should follow.

At least we know he still has conscience and not like other who've sold theirs for political gains.

Not really public signage as you presume but to expose the government that arrested him for speaking out. For goodness sake we are in a democratic era.

Criticism should be seen as a way of correcting ones wrong step, not everyone has access to the president so the best way is to openly criticize and you would be heard.

-There were other candidates and you know it. You didn’t have to follow the crowd and stain your hands with blood.

-Now you and your family should bear the consequences. I bet you’re more educated and of a sound mind than that jihadists you voted for to handle your affairs in this 21st century.

-The problem many of you, youths, have is bragging-rights syndrome i.e my candidate must win, so I can brag for Africa. A counter productive attitude devoid of common sense.

Don't ever be deceived by those fake political actors, they know how to play with the masses emotions. Especially Northern politicans they are united in their game plans and all support Buhari government whole heartedly. I don't know where you come from? But the truth of the matter is that he's part of this present government. It's a political game plan so that the public will see him as an honest person. Leave those political actors.

To be real honest with you, no one had the ability to foresee how things would turn up.

The country was bleeding real bad from 'corruption stabs', we needed someone who was honest and fearless to tackle the menace(corruption) and among all the candidates, Buhari seemed to be the best bet.

In areas he had short comings in, we expected him to let the vice president handle it because of his vast knowledge and exposure.

But this one thing (corruption) Nigerians wanted it nipped in the bud to the barest minimum by President Buhari, who would've known he'll be a couch potato!!

So don't make it sound as if we all knew what would happen and still went ahead to vote him(Buhari) in power.

Who was the better candidate than a retired military General. Wasn't that the peak of BH crusade?
It's better you shut your trap dude. He promised change and most people voted him in due to his mantra.

-I don’t know how old you were in 1983 - 1985, but my question to you is; what is more corrupt than a coup d’etat?

-The most corrupt people are military tyrants.

-With a civilian, you actually have a chance to see what he is doing and challenge him, but with a military tyrant especially one affiliated with jihadists, you stand no chance to see and challenge his corrupt practices.

-One of the problems many people living in less developed countries have is; they still think strength is mightier than intellect - a very primitive philosophy.

-Anyway, enjoy the fruits of your vote and support of an uneducated corrupt tyrant.
