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.

President Muhammadu Buhari, who assumed office on May 29, 2015, had earlier embarked on a six-day vacation in the United Kingdom between February 5 and 10, 2016. On June 6, 2016, he embarked on another 10-day vacation to attend to what the Presidency described as “persistent ear infection.” It had said although Buhari was examined and treated by his personal physician and a specialist in Abuja, the doctors advised him to go for further evaluation as a precaution. He said the President would therefore use the 10-day break to see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist in London. Buhari returned to Nigeria on June 19, 2016 after spending 14 days in London. In a short interaction at the airport, Buhari challenged one of the State House correspondents who asked him about his state of health to a wrestling contest. “You know I am taller than you.

Nigeria’s Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Tuesday revealed that he consulted the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Enoch Adeboye, before accepting to be the vice-presidential candidate of the then opposition APC in the 2015 presidential elections.

He said the official, who he did not name, went to the President with some documents but he (Buhari) turned the official back. He said Buhari made it clear to the official that the man (Osinbajo) that was in charge of the country was in  Abuja . “It is not true that ministers are going to the United Kingdom and are reporting to the President. I am aware t...

Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has said the perception that his predecessor , Mr Peter Obi, made him governor is wrong. He said this when he appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, shortly after he emerged the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance. Asked how he expects to succeed in his reelection bid having reportedly fallen out with some of those who were key to his emergence as governor, including Peter Obi, he said it was up to God and not one man. “First, it is God that makes the king. Again, let me also correct this impression; Peter (Obi), the former Governor, cannot on his own make me the governor if the former chairman of the party or the whole party did not agree. So, it is a wrong perception to think that one person can come and make you a candidate,” he said. He, however, acknowledged that the former governor played a role in getting him elected.

The arrested General Overseer of the City of Liberation and Comfort Ministry, Bishop Ginika has confessd he defrauded his church members of N186m not the over N500m that was claimed by the Enugu State Police Command. His ministry, located on Enugu-Port Harcourt highway, became a beehive of activities last year as people from various walks of life, especially miracle seekers, trooped to the church. But the place became a shadow of itself after it was discovered that the NGO he floated to lure members into investing on the guise of reaping “bountiful dividends” was aimed at defrauding them. When he was caught in his tracks, the Unuaku Uli self-acclaimed preacher ran away, abandoning his church and members. He was, however, arrested at a hotel in Enugu at the weekend, where he was said to be taking refuge. Obi had used his NGO, ‘Build Your Generational Organization’ to allegedly defraud his members and other unsuspecting members of the public of various huge sum...

Barcelona manager, Ernesto Valverde, has admitted his side were not as clinical as Real Madrid, in their 3-1 defeat in the Spanish Super Cup first leg on Sunday. Lionel Messi had equalized for Barca after Gerard Pique’s own goal opened the scoring at Camp Nou, but late goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also sent off, and Marco Asensio handed Madrid the advantage ahead of Wednesday’s second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. Valverde, who replaced Luis Enrique in May, feels the result slightly flattered Zinedine Zidane’ side. “I don’t feel we were as far away as the scoreline indicates,” he said in his post-match news conference. “[Madrid] were strong in midfield, which made it tough for us to play through the middle. They’re a side that run a lot and they use the space well. “They scored three, but it was a game in which we did well and we had chances. They’ve caught us out with a counter-attack at 1-1 [to make it 2-1] and ...

Jose Mourinho has admitted that he was surprised to have been able to sign Nemanja Matic for Manchester United this summer. The Red Devils completed a deal to bring the Serbia international to Old Trafford this summer after Chelsea agreed to sell the 29-year-old to their direct Premier League title rival. The move came as something of a surprise to many, as Matic was a key player in helping Chelsea win the Premier League title last season. The Serbian midfielder, however, was thought to be keen on a move to Manchester United himself and to link up with his former manager Mourinho. And the Portuguese coach has now lifted the lid on how Matic called him to tell him that a move to Manchester United was on the cards this summer. Mourinho is quoted as saying by the  Daily Mirror : “I was not thinking of signing Matic because I never go for players who I think are an impossible mission to sign. I felt that there would be no chance. “So when I got the call that Matic wan...

So it seems to me there is no internal democracy in APC government in Kuje so I decided to leave with some of my supporters,” he said.  The Kuje PDP central ward chairman, Alhaji Bawasa, while receiving the decampees, assured them that the party would always carry them along in its activities. ...

Since 2015 when it lost power at the centre, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has once again displayed what the party is known for - to organize a carnival-like convention to showcase its splendor, gran­dure, power and beauty that has endeared it to the heart of the people. The drumming, the danc­ing, the parade and the speeches made by dignitaries were carnival-like displays geared towards achieving one aim, to tell the ruling All Pro­gressive Congress (APC) that the PDP is alive, back and kicking like the proverbial cat with nine lives. According to political watchers, it was also an avenue to tell the APC that all the efforts to destroy the party in the past few months did not succeed. Not only has the party suc­ceeded in making a mark, but, from the unprecedented crowd that greeted the party non elective convention held on Saturday, the 12th of Au­gust, it exposed the failure of the ruling All progressive Congress (APC) to meet the yearning and the demands of the people after w...

The leading opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, has stated that Acting President Yemi Osinbajo is not in charge of the country. According to the PDP, actions taken by the Acting President were clear indications that power was not handed over to him contrary to the claim by the Presidency that ailing President Muhammadu Buhari transferred power to him (Osinbajo) before leaving Nigeria for London on a medical trip more than 90 days ago. Spokesperson for the party, Dayo Adeyeye, while speaking with newsmen on Sunday, wondered why the Acting President had refused to assign portfolios to the two ministers that were sworn in more than two weeks ago. Adeyeye, who was a former minister of state for works, observed that the action of the Acting President indicated that he was just a figurehead. He said, “The Acting President is not in charge of the country. He is not in charge of anything. This is why nothing is moving forward. “How do you explain a situation where t...
