Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has stated that the recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari from ill health deserved to be celebrated. Okowa said those ‎who have been wishing the president dead were only heartless because God had put them to shame by bringing the president back alive. The governor also called on Nigerians to promote what would unite the country rather than vices that would rather tear the nation apart. Okowa stated this on Sunday during an inter-denominational anniversary thanksgiving service to mark the 26th years of the creation of the state at the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Asaba, the state capital.

World Championships were still reeling on Sunday from Bolt’s shock defeat in his final individual race to pantomime villain Gatlin, with Coe admitting it was “not the perfect script” following the jeers which greeted Saturday’s result at the London Stadium. Denying it was “the worst result ever” for a sport beset by doping scandals, Coe nevertheless told the BBC’s Sportsweek programme: “I’m not eulogistic at the thought of somebody who has served two bans in our sport walking off with one of the biggest prizes our sport has to offer.” Gatlin’s first drugs ban in 2001 was halved from two years following an appeal that a positive test had been due to medication he had been taking since childhood, when h...
