from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yacouba Sido (born October 1, 1910 in Maïné-Soroa , † November 15, 1988 in Tanout ; also Yacouba Siddo ) was a Nigerien politician .

Life

Yacouba Sido graduated from elementary school and graduated as a country teacher. From 1927 he lived in Tanout. There he worked as director of the nomad school of Garin Marma, which was founded in 1947 as one of the first schools of its kind in Niger by the French administration.

Sido was a member of the party Union of Independent Nigerians and Sympathizers (UNIS), for which he was elected in the parliamentary elections on March 30, 1952 as a member of the Zinder district in the territorial assembly of Niger. On May 18, 1952, he was elected to the House of Lords of France in Paris , where he represented the then French territory of Niger. He was a member of the committees for Education and Family (1952–1955), Reconstruction (1954–1958), Communication (1953), Fisheries, Agriculture and National Defense (1955), Pensions (1956) and Overseas France ( 1956-1958). When his UNIS party disintegrated, Sido joined the Nigerien Action Block (BNA) in 1956, which was absorbed into the Sawaba party that same year . At the constitutional referendum in Niger in 1958 , the Sawaba advocated a “no” and thus for the immediate independence of Niger from France. The “yes” camp, which voted to remain with France, was represented by the Nigerien Progressive Party (PPN-RDA). Yacouba Sido, like several former BNA members, was dissatisfied with the Sawaba stance and joined the - ultimately victorious - “Yes” camp, switching from Sawaba to PPN-RDA. In the elections to the French House of Lords in 1958, Sido entered the race as a candidate for the PPN-RDA parent party RDA , but had to admit defeat to Issoufou Saïdou Djermakoye by the Sawaba parent party PRA .
