Giwa, proprietor of Giwa FC of Jos, who was received at the party’s secretariat in Jos on Thursday, said that he opted for the PDP because he was convinced that it held the key to a better Nigeria. “Nigerians have tested and tasted the PDP and the APC; from experience, the average Nigerian believes that PDP is a better option. I have opted to go with the majority,” he said. Giwa, who said that he had “no immediate ambition”, promised to work for the return of Sen. Jonah Jang (PDP, Plateau North), to the senate in 2019. In an address to welcome Giwa, Jang said that the PDP in Plateau was intact and ready to regain power in 2019. “We had a setback in 2015 but we have put that behind and moved on.

The Senator representing Kogi West senatorial district, Dino Melaye, has said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has not communicated with him over his planned recall from the Senate. Melaye said this in an interview with Leadership newspaper. The lawmaker insisted that INEC has not informed him of a date for the verification of signatures of his constituents submitted to the electoral umpire. “I have not received anything from INEC,” Melaye said. Recall that the embattled Senator had described his planned recall as a comedy of errors which would never happen. “It can not succeed. It is a hoax and absolute comedy of errors. I’m laughing at the stupidity of Kogi State government. Many appointees will go to jail for forgery. Even dead people’s names are on the recall register. “A governor who does not know what double registration is may not as well know the procedure for recall. Every lie has an expiry date. This comedy of errors wil

No fewer than 38 universities across Nigeria have jerked up their fees. The increment might be attributed to poor funding by the federal and state governments. Recall that Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), poorly rated the President Muhammadu Buhari in the area of funding of university education.

Abuja— Former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has advised against call for the arrest of leaders of Arewa youth groups who have given the Igbo a three-month ultimatum to quit the northern part of the country by October 1, 2017. Describing the call even from some governors of the North as unpatriotic and capable of causing national insecurity, Kwankwaso urged the governors and other leaders in the North to dialogue with the youths, instead of resorting to their arrests. The former Defence Minister, who currently represents Kano Central senatorial district in the National Assembly, told selected journalists that arresting the young men would rather aggravate the already tensed atmosphere. Describing the people of Igbo extraction as bona fide citizens of the country, who were free to live in any part of the country, Kwankwaso noted that true dialogue would enable the youths, who are leaders of tomorrow, better appreciate the nation’s unity in diversity. “The

On the day we commemorated the 24th anniversary of the epochal June 12, 1993, presidential poll that midwifed our current democracy, heavily armed operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, invaded THE Sun Newspapers’ head office in Lagos. At gunpoint, they ordered the company’s security personnel to take them round, and  prevented workers from entering or leaving the premises. The operatives claimed they had orders to seal off the premises. While the  siege lasted, some of the operatives reportedly accused the newspaper of publishing pro-Biafra, Boko Haram and pro-Niger Delta militants’ stories, but the Commission denied the allegations. The EFCC had in 2007 obtained an interim forfeiture order of some assets of the newspaper group in a suit against its publisher, Chief Orji Kalu. It is the subject of a pending appeal. Earlier, the EFCC’s Acting Chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, had written a letter he personally signed, dated May 23rd, 2017, to THE Sun’s management
