The last time I wrote something on this page about Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Hammanyero Nyako, it was to totally disagree with him over the paper he delivered at a seminar in Washington, DC. He said in it that he suspected the Federal Government and President Goodluck Jonathan of sponsoring the Boko Haram insurgency that has ravaged many Northern states.
