A Debate

A: Alright, for people who don’t know the political history of Nigeria, or even the history of politics itself, ah … Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and … ah … General … ah Olusegun Obasanjo. Ah … all those politicians who are part of … those supporting Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’adua representing Katsina. Ah … and all of those who have the trust of their supporters, and are close to the people … General Shehu Musa Yar’adua, may Allah forgive him.

Therefore, it’s not true what’s said about Masari, because he is on Atiku Abubakar’s side, and this brings us to say that … we don’t want him to become governor. And for us, it’s not that we don’t want Masari to become governor. No, but the thing that we understand, which we are trusting, even if they were to ask Masari. He knows that Alhaji Magaji Mohamed … ah … Ambassador Magaji Mohamed is more deserving, much more trustworthy, more capable, more suitable to become the governor of Katsina State, and to be perfectly honest about it, God knows that Ambassador Magaji Mohamed is the better man.

B: OK …

A: This is the truth. Therefore we’re not doing this, because of some faction, we’re not doing this because we don’t want … that’s the opinion on Mamman Bello Masari. No sir …

B: So, Alhaji Yusuf Sadi, I don’t know if you heard everything that Alhaji Bala said, if there is something you want to respond to, go ahead and respond since we’re nearing the end of this program. Is there something that you want to respond to among the things that he said?

C: Yes, what he said regarding Buhari. Well, Buhari, all throughout this country you know that both the northerners here and the southerners know that Buhari is a good man. Likewise, the experts’ praise has become inevitable. You understand this first point?

B: Yes …

C: Secondly: His talk of Magaji Mohamed, Magaji Mohamed repeated over and over, this Magaji Mohamed, well in our Senatorial district, we don’t really know Magaji Mohamed, we don’t know his background, we don’t know anything besides the ambassadorship that he held and that local administration position that he once held in Kaduna.

So, after this control was purportedly given to him, well really, we don’t know who he is. And we saw what he failed to finish in our area. We were certain, if he wanted to praise his own accomplishments then we would always be on God’s side, there wasn’t any talk of who’s better than who or a sign of refusal. All of these signs that he has created, now when Masari finishes up in court, they won’t be able to say, they won’t be able to determine where Masari stays, we won’t see if he knows the allowance that Masari is paid or his profit. Now Masari is the fourth most important man in Nigeria behind Obasanjo, Atiku and Imamani. We know that this Nigeria is a wealthy country – it can provide Masari with all the allowance that he wants. I noticed the thing that most worries Bala: Bala Kutu says it’s Masari’s generosity that he doesn’t like.

Originally our faction left them because they didn’t want to see us prospering. And so Allah created Masari with his hand open [generous]. When he was at the water board, Masari could not disconnect people’s water supply, since he was water board manager, and when he heard that someone’s water was cut off, he said to go and put it back. You see, these are the reasons for his criticisms. But all of this Magaji of his that he keeps telling me, I don’t know much about him, I don’t care a bit about Magaji, who is this Magaji anyway? That’s the only thing I’ll respond to him about.

B: Alhaji Bala, now if one were to ask you what welcome or help or support Magaji Mohamed ever provided to Katsina in a state position, that would make him deserving of becoming governor, what would you say? I’ll ask Alhaji Yusu this same question about Masari in a moment, but tell me this: What would you say will the people of Katsina benefit from Magaji Mohamed?

A: For me, I’ve always wanted to elect someone who is suitable, to elect someone who is honest and trustworthy. And Magaji Mohamed is suited to hold the governorship of Katsina State, on the basis of the knowledge that he has …

C: Hello?

A: … on the basis of the positions of authority that he has held … for he has had remarkable success wherever he has been. The number one reason: let me give the example of when he was posted as ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Everyone knows the role he played to increase the dignity and status of Nigeria, in Saudi Arabia, which in the past before this had deteriorated until --

C: Hello?

A: -- he began … bringing respectable people and people of that sort from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria --

C: Hello?

A: -- they promised to come and make investments and proceed with their enterprises --

C: Aliyu Mustapha, can you hear me?

A: -- Secondly, when he was appointed minister, when he was appointed minister --

B: Just a moment, Alhaji Yusuf, I can hear you …

A: -- he was posted to a small ministry in … ah … industry, but because of the remarkable role he played in this industry, it led President Olusegun Obasanjo to promote him and post him to another ministry, a much larger ministry.

C: Hello?

A: But for me, what really makes me wonder … it’s that Yusuf, how does he know that Ambassador Magaji Mohamed was in local administration? Since I never said that he was a local administrator, but he says he was. How does he know that he [Magaji Mohamed] was a local administrator? Did some genies tell him that he was in local administration, since he doesn’t know Ambassador Magaji Mohamed? He himself said that he [ Magaji Mohamed ] was a local administrator, so was it genies who told him he was a local administrator?

B: OK, I understand …

A: For this reason, there is no intellectual or a fair man.

B: Alright then, Alhaji Yusuf, Alhaji Yusuf, what I asked him … what I asked Alhaji Bala about, and what he has finished explaining to me is this: what is the benefit of Magaji Mohamed to Katsina, and does the state’s situation indicate different things for … what he contributes to the community … or to strengthen the lives of Katsina’s residents? Ah … I have two questions for you, Alhaji Yusuf: First, do you agree with what he said, that because those writings he knows that he was a consular official in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, and do you agree with the things he said that Magaji Mohamed provides for Katsina? That’s the first question. Second, I’m going to ask you as well what benefit did Aminu Bello Masari provide for the people of Katsina from the time he obtained this great national position that would make him suitable to become governor?

A: Indeed! Well, first of all, that thing he said, that thing about Magaji Mohamed becoming ambassador to Saudi Arabia; regarding this ambassador, well, you see, I’m telling you, from the outset we haven’t had an ambassador here simultaneously for our English and who is also understood there. Therefore, this ambassador was very beneficial to them. If it was at all beneficial, then it was not beneficial to Daura or to Funtuwa.

Then secondly, the Masari of which he speaks, now what I am saying to you right here, and the students here in Katsina zone and Daura and those who are here in Funtuwa attending Nigerian universities know the importance of Masari. Masari gave many scholarships to the underprivileged children who could not pay for their schooling. You’ve heard the first, the second is that even a while back Masari was a good man, a Katsina man himself who did not want to discriminate against Katsina, who came and built a house to live together among his own.

               <eng-response>This is a debate between Alhaji Bala Kuki and Alhaji Yusuf, two politicians defending their choice for the future Governor of Katsina, a northern state in Nigeria. The two candidates are thoroughly examined according to each speaker’s criteria. Bala Kuki favors Magaji, whom he describes as intellectual, fair, and politically successful in that he paved the way for foreign investment in the country. Yusuf sees in Aminu Bello Masari a compassionate and patriotic leader who should win the post over Magaji, who is unknown and financially unfit. They eliminate Buhari, a former president, whom they see as a threat to their candidates, but their view of one another's moral values is rather critical. They both swear to say what they truly think and believe.</eng-response>

               <eng-fdbk>Incorrect. This choice is wrong because some parts of the content are misinterpreted. Please think about how Buhari is referred to in the debate. Does the summary reflect a true representation of the comment about him?</eng-fdbk>

               <eng-response>In this debate, two politicians discuss their favored candidates’ past and future achievements as well as their popularity. Alhaji Bala Kuki and Alhaji Yusuf have different interpretations of the qualities required of a future governor, which they display in this argument. Bala’s favorite, Alhaji Magaji Mohamed, a former ambassador, is an experienced, educated and trustworthy person who served and would continue to serve his state better than Aminu Bello Masari. Yusuf’s ideal governor is popular, generous, compassionate and patriotic enough to deserve the post. They mention the candidates’ weaknesses and their own political aspirations and differences, though they belong to the same ethnic group and fight for the same state.</eng-response>

               <eng-fdbk>Incorrect. This is not the best choice because it does not provide the full scale of the debate.Think about the organization of the debate. Is there any reflection of the speakers' reaction to one another's comments?</eng-fdbk>

               <eng-response>In a heated debate, Bala Kuki and Yusuf, two Nigerian politicians, give a biographical picture of their favorite candidates with arguments that sometimes sound like personal attacks. According to Bala, the ideal governor is Magaji Mohamed, an educated and honest administrator who has proven to be conscientious of his country’s needs throughout his successful career. Therefore, he would bring more to the state of Katsina than would Aminu Bello Masari. Yusuf, on the other hand, presents Masari as a generous, popular, powerful, and compassionate citizen who would help his people better, whereas Magaji is unknown. They apparently accept Buhari, but using rather incriminatory language, they challenge the veracity of each other's statements, and target the opposition group’s moral values.</eng-response>
