Tinubu, A Big Problem For Us – APC Aspirant Insists

governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, Dr. Tunji Abayomi, has accused the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, of causing problem within the Ondo State chapter of the party. Abayomi alleged that the preference of Tinubu for another governorship aspirant, Dr. Segun Abraham, had polarized the party ahead of its primary coming up next week. Abayomi maintained that it was wrong for the former governor of Lagos State to impose his choice on the party. Tinubu was alleged to have invited all the party leaders in the state to Lagos, where he allegedly directed them to ensure his anointed candidate, Abraham, won the primary. Abayomi said since Tinubu allegedly imposed a candidate, Chief Rotimi Akeredolu, on the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria in the 2012 governorship election in the state and failed, he should not repeat the same style in the 2016 governorship primary of the APC. This was contained in a letter he addressed to Tinubu on Tuesday, a copy of which was made available to our correspondent.
The letter was titled, “Tonic of democracy is the right of the people to choose their leaders. No: 2. The letter read, “I maintain, based on the reliable information of the attendees, that your meeting with the party leaders go beyond mere a ‘meeting’ or ‘assembly and talk’ as observed in your letter. You told them who the candidate of the party would be and directed them to work for him assuring them of your financial support. “I maintain that considering that all the aspirants had all been subjected to the same processes, including serious conditional payments, it would have been expected that as a national leader of the APC and especially as you have severally assured many aspirants who came to you, that the party would guarantee to all, equal protection in the process, you should have refrained from directing the party to support an aspirant. “Your summoning of party officials to a meeting and your instruction to them to support one aspirant, in my humble view, violated the right to fairness. It amounted to undue influence to unjustly favour an aspirant. “Perhaps, I need to add that the confusion in the APC in Ondo State at the moment, like it was in the ACN in 2012, emanated from the unfair directive you gave to the party on July 31, 2016.” The APC aspirant urged the national leader not to influence the emergence of the candidate of the party, adding that he should allow the party to conduct a credible primary

30-Year-Old Igbo Man Arrested For Naming Dog ‘Buhari

The Ogun State Police command has arrested one Joe Fortemose Chinakwe for allegedly naming his pet Dog ‘Buhari’, apparently referring to President Muhammadu Buhari. The 30-year-old Trader was reportedly nabbed at No 10, Omikunle Street, Sango-ota, Ogun State. Reports have it that the arrest was made after one of his (Joe’s) northern neighbours complained bitterly that he named his dog after his father, Alhaji Buhari. According to a popular dai
ly, the complainant reported the case at Sango Police Station, last Saturday, after which the trader was arrested and detained. It was however gathered that efforts by the police to recover the dog, which they intended using as evidence failed following a clever move by the suspect. The trader, said to be trading in female wears at a popular market in Sango, allegedly directed his friends secretly to kill the dog and possibly eat the meat in order to avoid being implicated. It was gathered that consistent appeals by his friends and relations for the police to grant him bail failed as the complainant and his kinsmen reportedly threatened to kill the trader if he was released on bail.

The Nollywood comic actor, who is known to shield his family from public scrutiny stated that we live in an organized society, only that people are lazy to follow due process. “For example, where I am now, if you come after me, there are legal processes to follow because if you attack me to hurt me on social media, it is a declaration of war”. Bakassi said “Since you’ve chosen your platform (social media), I will choose a more ‘civilized’ platform”, he added. “Don’t touch my family (wife and children). If you face Okey as a person, no problem with that, I can handle that because it is about me. But when you begin to touch my wife on social media; one, I would not engage you because one thing I look at is the calibre of the person that said such”. “If you are not above me, even if you are my mate, I will not answer you. But if you are above, that means I have a bigger surface to punch. For me, those are the two rules of engagement”. “If you decide to touch family and you are smaller, if you engage a smaller person on social media, which means you are playing into the arena where he wants you”. “I am not going to go into that, I am going to wait for you face-to-face. I wouldn’t know the dimension he would take when we finally meet but I would rather sort it out one on one with you.”
