Ibrahim Babangida, former military ruler, has stated why he is now supporting the candidature of Atiku Abubakar, the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP). Mr Babangida, fondly called IBB, declared his support for Mr Abubakar after the latter emerged victorious at the elective presidential primary of the PDP in Port Harcourt on Sunday. Abubakar, popularly known as Atiku, defeated 11 aspirants of the party to clinch the ticket. He will then have to slug it out with incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari who is seeking a second term in office in the 2019 general elections. Babangida who had earlier declared his support for Bukola Saraki, President of the 8th Senate, backed down when his preferred aspirant could not clinch the party’s ticket. The former military ruler reacting to the victory of the former vice president at the primary, congratulated Atiku and has now declared his support for the PDP candidate. He stated his reason for doing so. “One of the few r

Aminu Waziri Tambuwal Support Group, a support group for Sokoto State Governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Hon. Aminu Waziri has urged all the party’s delegates for tomorrow’s presidential primaries to vote for Governor Tambuwal as PDP flag bearer in 2019 presidential elections.  This is coming as the spokesman of the Tambuwal Presidential Campaign Organisation, Dr Okey Ikechukwu, has said that Nigeria’s best chance of a president that can unite Nigeria, restore a sense of community and give the nation 21st Century leadership is the Sokoto governor. The group in an open letter to PDP delegates on the presidential primaries, which was made available to journalists yesterday, said the opposition need a candidate like Tambuwal, who has constitutional immunity, adding that PDP cannot afford to have “a candidate that can be thoroughly harassed and blackmailed to succumb by the desperate Buhari administration.” The group stated that in Tambuwal, the party has th

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had concluded plans to disrupt its convention slated for Saturday and Sunday, in Port Harcourt. The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbinduyan made the allegation at a press conference held at the party’s national secretariat Thursday, in Abuja. “There are plots by the ruling party to disrupt our national convention. We are aware of the machinations of the ruling party which is afraid of the election to halt the efforts of the opposition to elect a candidate to go into a contest with President Muhammadu Buhari,” Ologbondiyan claimed. When asked to give details about the plot, the opposition spokesman said, “It can be any form of machination; it could be by court, or any other form and we are alerting Nigerians of the efforts to stop our national convention.” He however said no force or any form of intimidation would stop the PDP from electing its presidential candidate as scheduled. He said

A fresh crisis is brewing in the ranks of Nigeria’s ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) with at least four state governors prepared for battle with the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole. The state governors: Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara; Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo; Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna and Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun, whose grievances border on the mode of primaries and automatic tickets issued to some serving senators, have either directly or through their surrogates attacked Mr Oshiomhole. These governors, sometimes acting through their APC state chairpersons, have accused the national leadership of the party of imposition of candidates. Some have also kicked against the mode of primaries adopted for their various states by then party headquarters. On Tuesday, the national secretariat of the APC released a list of ‘cleared’ aspirants in a move to grant automatic tickets to some senators whom the party described as ‘loyal’, a move that has further worsened the fros

Even in this government headed by incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, Sanwo-Olu serves in it as the Managing Director of Lagos State Property Development Company Many in Lagos would argue that the battle for the crown of the state has been won and lost. The self-acclaimed kingmakers may have just blessed the head of the hitherto unknown Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Bola Tinubu's anointed. If you are, like many in Lagos, who have been wondering who he is, here are 5 things you need to know about APC's choice. 1. Sanwo-Olu Is A True Son Of The Soil:  The Lagos governorship candidate was born in Lagos Island five years after Nigeria gained independence, specifically on June 25, 1965. That means he clocked 53 years June this year. He is said to have had a fairly good upbringing, in the midst of a well-groomed Christian family. He is also said to occasionally attend Mountain of Fire And Miracles Ministries. 2. The Man Is Well Read : The man, Babajide Sanwo-Olu is well educated. He holds a

The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Cyril Abeye Ogodo has expelled Ovie Omo-Agege, the senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly and factional senatorial candidate in the 2019 general election. Rising from an emergency meeting of the State Working Committee (SWC ) in Asaba on Wednesday, the party said its decision to expel Omo Agege from the party followed his “unabated involvement in anti-party activities”. A statement titled ‘Delta APC Expels Senator Ovie Omo-Agege’, signed by the party’s Legal Adviser, Dennis Nwanokwai Esq, and obtained by SaharaReporters, noted that the senator’s expulsion is with immediate effect. "The latest of such activities relates to the hijack of primaries panel members and materials sent from the national secretariat to conduct primaries in the state and deploying same to conduct unauthorised parallel primaries,” the party stated. "[Others are] the manipulation and tampering o

The All Progressive Congress (APC) may have concluded plans to oust the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, from his position over his defection to the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP). The plan was made known a lawmaker of the ruling party, Peter Akpatason, representing Akoko-Edo at the lower legislative chamber. Mr Akpatason stated this on Wednesday in Benin while addressing reporters. The lawmaker said himself and his party colleagues at the lower house were out to ensure that the wish of the party on Mr Dogara is carried on resumption of the house. According to him, it is an aberration for a member of a minority political party to continue to be speaker of the House of Representatives. “We, as party loyalists, will carry out any instruction we get from the party. We will study the situation when we get back. Whatever the situation is will be what we will react to,” Akpatason said. “We cannot be happy to have a speaker that belongs to another party. It is an aberr

Members of the APC electoral panel sent from Abuja to conduct the Lagos governorship primary had a secret meeting with Akinwunmi Ambode, the state governor, on Monday, insiders have told TheCable. The Clement Ebri-led committee was “holed up” at their hotel till 1pm on Tuesday while voting went on at the over 300 wards in Lagos, with results showing Jide Sanwo-Olu clearly in the lead.

Ambode with no political clout, no political base was chosen and backed by the entire party structure against a Jimi Agbaje, a heavy weight. Fashola campaigned  and toured the state with him, Fashola singled-handedly ran the campaign..I read about the Ikorodu and Mushin rally. Fashola took him round the state and made sure Jimi Agbaje with the Fed might was defeated. Fashola despite the beef between them, despite the fact that Supo Shasore his candidate lost at the primaries put the party first and ensure Ambode was successful. Rather than acknowledged his predecessor, he started a campaign of calumny against him, releasing documents to tarnish his image. He went after contractors, abandoned some projects.

 Into whatever houses I enter…whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret” The inference above is the medical Hippocratic oath of secrecy that protects the rights of patients and their medical records from being divulged to a third party. Health and ill-health is often a deeply personal journey and the fear of stigma and shame keeps many sufferers from seeking medical attention. So it is of the utmost importance that personal information shared remains between the patient and the care giver. This medical oath of secrecy has now been flouted by some medical personnel at the Lagos state owned Gbagada General Hospital and is now being used as a political weapon by the Lagos state Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode against the aspiration of Mr. Babajide Sanwo Olu a Governorship aspirant on the platform of the Al
