    These two opponents in Group E have never played
    against each other before, making their match epochal
    and need to watch for all. CAF appointed Kenya
    referee, David Omweno who was among the two
    referees suspended for 3-month in 2016. The two
    countries need the match to have a better chance to

  • APC Has No Business Presenting Candidate In Rivers – Governor Wike

    APC Has No Business Presenting Candidate In Rivers – Governor Wike

    Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State says for the
    All Progressives Congress (APC) to even contemplate
    presenting a governorship candidate for the 2019
    election in the state shows that something is
    fundamentally wrong with the party.
    Wike spoke in an interview at the Government House,
    Port Harcourt, stressing that aside from the plot to rig,
    the APC has no platform to campaign upon in the
    State.
    “For the APC to think of bringing somebody in this
    state to challenge me, shows that something is
    fundamentally wrong with the party.
    “What has the Federal Government done for the APC
    in Rivers State? What has Rivers APC achieved?
    Mention one thing. Is it in terms of the roads, the
    airport or seaports?” he queried. He regretted that the
    APC did not believe in credible polls, noting that rigging
    and fraud were in the DNA of the party.
    “All their meetings, all their gatherings at the federal
    level, whether by hook or crook, they must have
    Rivers State. They want to use soldiers, SARs, DSS.
    All cries by the international community don’t matter.
    Just take Rivers State first,” he said.
    Governor Wike said as a Minister of State for
    Education, his contributions to the development of
    Rivers State were scattered across the state.
    He wondered why the current Minister of
    Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, has failed the
    people of Rivers by refusing to attract a single project
    to the state.
    Governor Wike said: “When I was a minister and he
    was in APC, I brought development to the state. For
    example, I brought the Faculty of Law to the
    University of Port Harcourt. I brought grant of N500
    million to Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic and the Ignatius
    Ajuru University of Education.
    “I’m from Rivers State and must contribute to the
    development to the state. As at the time I was in the
    Federal Government, he was the governor under APC
    and there was no development in the state. I brought
    the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC)
    intervention to Rivers State. This is my State.”
    Wike said, as governor of the State, he has
    transformed Rivers, citing key projects across the
    state. He said his third-year anniversary celebration
    underscored the fundamentals of good governance
    with leaders across political, traditional and social
    divides commissioning key projects.
    The governor said in October, his administration would
    commence another leg of project commissioning. He
    noted that President Muhammadu Buhari would be
    invited to commission projects, even though he is
    unlikely to honor the invitation for political reasons.
    Governor Wike said contrary to the propaganda of the
    APC, he is not against the federal government, adding
    that he is only committed to the fight against
    injustice.
    “That’s the misconception; I don’t stand up against the
    federal government. I stand up against injustice and
    marginalization. It has nothing to do with the federal
    government. If this government is not in place
    tomorrow, and another government comes and
    perpetrates injustice, I will stand up against them. It
    has nothing to do with federal government,” Wike said.
    On the alleged media propaganda by the Economic and
    Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), on the
    management of Rivers State finances under his
    leadership, Governor Wike maintained that the law had
    declared that the EFCC has no power to investigate
    the state government.
    He said: “I’m not interested whether EFCC backs off
    or not, being a body that does not respect the rule of
    law. That is what the federal government is all about,
    impunity. You heard the president say national
    interest supersedes the rule of law. I’m not against
    the EFCC fighting corruption if at all they are fighting
    corruption.
    “My concern is for us to do things in accordance with
    law. The law says we have a federation comprising
    the federal government, the states, and the local
    government areas. We go to the monthly federal
    allocation when money comes to the federation and
    all tiers take their share. The federal government is
    now saying the money that comes to states will be
    monitored.”
    He noted that the EFCC could only be taken seriously,
    if it operates within the rule of law, by successfully
    appealing the 2007 judgment between the commission
    and the state government.
    “I was not here in 2007 when the Rivers State
    government went to court against the EFCC; to say
    the commission has no constitutional power to
    interrogate the finances of the State government.
    And the matter was adequately addressed and
    judgment was given against EFCC. Since 2007; EFCC
    has been struggling to appeal the judgment. EFCC has
    not succeeded up till now. What they are doing now is
    when they feel a government is not pro-Buhari, let’s
    do this.

    ‘Forget Automatic Ticket’ – Kogi PDP Aspirants Tell Melaye, Other Decampees

    Aspirants for various elective positions in Kogi
    State have warned the Peoples Democratic
    Party, PDP, to be mindful of giving automatic
    tickets to serving elective office holders,
    saying doing so would not augur well for the
    party in the 2019 general elections.
    Addressing a press conference, yesterday, in
    Abuja, an aspirant seeking the party’s ticket to
    run for Kogi East Senatorial seat, Barrister
    Halima Alfa, who spoke on behalf of 29 other
    aspirants, said there was a ploy by the National
    Working Committee, NWC, of the party to
    conduct pre-determined primaries where their
    “anointed candidates” would be declared
    winners.
    Barrister Alfa, specifically, claimed that the
    party had resolved to give automatic tickets to
    serving senators and House of Representatives
    members on a right of first refusal to the
    exclusion of other aspirants, adding that as
    members of the party, such move would be
    resisted
    She said: “Having been consistent party men
    and women who have paid all party dues,
    expended huge financial resources to purchase
    Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms,
    it will be against the guidelines of the party, it
    will offend the spirit of internal democracy, it
    will contravene the Constitution as well as the
    Electoral Act for the party’s leadership under
    whatever guise, to arrange a pre-determined or
    manipulated primary.”
    “Senator Dino Melaye met with all the local
    government executives of the seven Local
    Government Areas that make up Kogi West on
    Friday, and boasted that organs of the party
    had resolved to give the ticket to him, being a
    serving senator decampee into the party
    regardless of the interest, aspiration, eligibility
    and qualification of other aspirants,” she added.

  • APC Can’t Return To Aso Rock In 2019 – Tambuwal

    APC Can’t Return To Aso Rock In 2019 – Tambuwal

    Sokoto State Governor and a Peoples Democratic
    Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Alhaji Aminu
    Tambuwal saturday noted that the All Progressives
    Congress (APC) would be defeated in the 2019
    presidential election.
    Tambuwal, one of the actors that ended the PDP rule
    in 2015, noted that he was confident of clinching the
    PDP presidential ticket in the face of various political
    gladiators seeking to run on the PDP platform.
    He predicted APC’s defeat at a news conference at
    the State House, Sokoto yesterday, expressing
    confidence that he “has what it takes to clinch the
    PDP presidential ticket in the forthcoming primary
    election.
    In a memorandum to its National Executive Council
    last Monday, the PDP had set aside October 5 and 6 to
    hold its national convention where the party’s
    candidate for the 2019 presidential election would
    emerge.
    Apart from Tambuwal, former Vice President, Atiku
    Abubakar; former Kano State Governor, Sen. Rabiu
    Kwankwaso; President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola
    Saraki; Gombe State Governor, Alhaji Hassan
    Dankwambo, former PDP National Chairman, Sen.
    Ahmed Makarfi, former Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji
    Attahiru Bafarawa and former Jigawa State Governor,
    Alhaji Taminu Turaki, among others, are seeking the
    PDP nomination.
    At the news conference yesterday, Tambuwal said he
    had gone round the country “to meet with party
    members and was optimistic of winning big in the
    forthcoming polls. Delegates of the party are the
    determinants of the winner of the primary election
    and as such confident that they would vote for him.
    “As you are aware, the primary election is about party
    delegates and I am sure that the delegates would find
    me worthy to be the PDP candidate, with a view to
    winning the 2019 presidential election.”
    He noted that his mission to become the President of
    the Federal Republic of Nigeria was borne out of the
    desire to rescue Nigeria from the myriad of challenges
    bedeviling it, noting that the people of Nigeria “are in
    dire need of a secured and economically developed
    country, as well as a stable polity.”
    Tambuwal expressed determination “to provide quality
    education for the youths so as to become useful in
    the society if given the mandate come 2019. The PDP
    will defeat the APC in the 2019 presidential election.”
    At the end of the primary election, the presidential
    aspirant pledged “to accept the outcome of the
    election whether I win or lose. This is because
    anybody, who wins believes that, we are going to
    work collectively to save Nigeria from the present
    mess we find ourselves in the country.”
    Another PDP presidential aspirant, Mr. Hamidu Tafida
    yesterday appealed to Nigerians to contribute money
    for him to enable him obtain the party’s nomination
    form and achieve his aspiration.
    Tafida stated that he would be able “to prosecute his
    campaign if one million Nigerians contribute N200
    each to his campaign fund. The situation in the
    country required sacrifice from all and sundry to pull
    it out of the doldrums saying all hands must be on
    deck to overhaul the country.
    “I wish to officially make public my intention to run
    for the Presidency of Nigeria. Let me appeal to one
    million Nigerians put together N 200 each and
    purchase nomination form for me to enable me
    actualise this ambition for the good of all,” Tafida
    noted.
    Tafida urged Nigerians to be wise and resist attempts
    by political merchants to continue stifling the
    country’s development through vote buying and
    manipulation of the electoral process.
    He promised to tackle corruption and insecurity
    headlong by doing away and eliminating the reign of
    impunity currently being witnessed in the country to
    pave way for rapid socio-economic development.
    He promised to create jobs through mechanised
    agriculture and rapid industrialization if elected into
    office, noting that Nigerians “have suffered and it is
    time to make sacrifices for a better society.”

  • Why I Bought N20 Million Car – CDQ

    Why I Bought N20 Million Car – CDQ

    When rapper Sodiq Abubakar Yusuf, aka CDQ,
    recently announced that he acquired a 2017 Ford
    Mustang Fastback car valued at N20 million, his
    source of wealth was questioned.
    While speaking with Sunday Scoop, CDQ said it was
    normal for people to say whatever they wanted.
    He stated,
    “It is allowed for people to judge you or have their
    own opinions about you, but everything is between
    you and your God. I do strictly music; both digital sales
    of music and performing all over the world.”
    While he was younger, CDQ said he had always
    wanted to achieve all the things he was doing now.
    According to the rapper, he is living his dream now.
    CDQ, who shares a close intimacy with his mother,
    admitted that he didn’t tell her when he wanted to buy
    the new car.
    He said,
    “I didn’t have to tell my mum or make her know the
    worth of my car. I believe I’m mature enough to
    decide what I want for myself so far I can do the
    work myself. The car I brought is a 2017 Mustang; it’s
    over N20 million.”
