Alhaji Mudi Sipikin was a poet and a founding member of the progressive independent party, Northern Elements Peoples Union (NEPU) in 1950. Popularly known as Mudi Sipikin, he got the surname from the habit, when he was a clerk to the NEPU progressives party, of answering phonecalls with ‘This is Mudi sipikin’. His poem will be translated under the guidance of Richard Ali.
