Gov Sule’s Arise TV Interview: When Gratitude Meets Disrespect
In a recent Arise TV appearance, Governor Abdullahi A. Sule of Nasarawa State praised his mentor, Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, yet immediately used language that seemed to undercut his achievements. This contradiction has sparked concern among many observers across the state. True leadership demands consistent respect. One cannot publicly claim the guidance and goodwill of a benefactor, then turn around and diminish their record. Senator Al-Makura’s contributions to Nasarawa’s development are well documented and speak for themselves. Mentorship is built on loyalty and lasting acknowledgment, not convenient rhetoric. Words from the governor carry weight, shape public opinion, and set standards for political conduct. Rather than making disparaging remarks, differences should be handled with maturity and discretion. Nasarawa deserves leaders who speak truthfully and honour those who paved the way. History will remember not only our achievements, but also the dignity with which we treat our mentors and predecessors.
