Allow them go...

Then yoruba nation follows.

And then Niger delta... Then middle belt and others.

So which part would he be president of?

He must be naive to think the rest of the country will remain the same if he decides to let any part of it go!

You see that Alhaji Atiku’s tweet on fuel subsidy that’s quiet now, nobody is talking, he even went on to say, “Nigeria is not working” and everywhere is quiet, let Peter Obi repeat the same thing now, and there will be pandemonium 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Abayomi Arabambi, said the party won’t allow Peter Obi to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) despite the crisis in the LP.

Arabambi states this in an interview on Channels Television on Friday.

He said the party is seeking a political solution to its crisis so that its 2023 presidential candidate won’t work with his PDP counterpart Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 poll.

The Labour Party chieftain said, “Politically, we will not allow the crisis to fester for long that we will now allow Mr Peter Obi to join Atiku.

“We knew their plans, that was why we said ‘we need to explore political solution between ourselves.”

Arabambi also spoke on the recent legal tussle rocking the party wherein an FCT High Court restrained Julius Abure and two others from parading themselves as national officers of the party.

Justice Hamza Muazu of the FCT High Court, ruling on an ex parte application on April 5, 2023, had restrained Abure, Farouk Ibrahim, Clement Ojukwu, and Oluchi Opara from acting as national officers of the LP.

But in March 2024, the Court of Appeal in Abuja set aside the judgment of the lower court which restrained Julius Abure and two others from parading themselves as national officers of the Labour Party.

Justice Hamman Barka, leading a three-member panel of justices, held that Abure’s appeal had merit and was accordingly allowed. He held that the FCT high court was wrong to have assumed jurisdiction on the matter.

The court also awarded the sum of N1 million in favour of Abure and other appellants in the matter.

Arabambi said every action taken by Abure between March 2023 and March 2024 is a nullity.

He said, “Since the Court of Appeal just set aside the judgement in March 2024, every other thing done between March 2023 and to 2024 by Julius Abure is a nullity.”

This administration should please be straightforward with their utterances. How can you be here and there at same time.

No one knows what is what again

The Presidency has debunked the report making the rounds that the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has proposed N105,000 as new minimum wage.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, while reacting to a report claiming that the Minister has submitted a report with N105,000 as new minimum wage proposal, described the news as false.

“The Honorable Minister of Finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun has not proposed N105,000 minimum wage. The contrary story being disseminated is false,” he said.


Meanwhile, Tribune Online reports on Thursday that the Minister of Finance, following the earlier directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presented a template with cost implications of a new minimum wage to President Tinubu

Recall that following a two-day strike by organised labour over a quest for an increase in minimum wage, the President had ordered Wale Edun to, within 48 hours, present the cost implications of a new minimum wage.

The Premier League will continue to use video assistant referees (VAR) next season after Wolves were the only club to vote in favour of scrapping it at Thursday's annual general meeting.

Wolves triggered a vote on the use of VAR in the 2024-25 season after formally submitting a resolution to the Premier League in May.

In order for VAR to be scrapped, 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs needed to vote in favour of doing so.

However, BBC Sport understands Wolves failed to gain support from other clubs in the top flight.

The Premier League has come under increasing pressure to modify VAR, which was introduced at the start of the 2019-20 season.

It was reaffirmed at the meeting that semi-automated offsides will be introduced at some point in the autumn, while the Premier League confirmed in-game VAR announcements will be put in place.

The in-game announcements, which were used during the 2023 women's World Cup, will see referees explain post-VAR decisions to supporters in stadiums.

Following a backlash over the naming and composition of the leadership structure of the “Obidient Directorate,” the leadership of the Labour Party (LP) has renamed the directorate.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, announced the party’s decision in a tarse statement in Abuja on Thursday.

According to him, the Obidient Directorate will now be known and referred to as the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.

Ifoh said, “Following the controversies arising from the creation of the Directorate of OBIDIENT Affairs, in the party, the Directorate is hereby renamed the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.

“The inauguration will take place on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at the party’s National Secretariat, Utako, Abuja, by 10 a.m. Party members and the general public should take note.”

Recall that over 200 support groups, which make up the Obidient Movement, had denounced the LP leadership for setting up the directorate and naming some persons as directors.

The support groups, in a statement dissociating themselves from the new directorate, accused the National Working Committee (NWC) of the LP, under the leadership of Comrade Julius Abure, of trying to use the directorate to strip the movement of its independence.
