Racoon: A crack has emerged in APC Senate Caucus over the selection of Ahmad Lawan (APC, Yobe) against Senator Godswill Akpabio (APC, Akwa Ibom) as replacement of Senate President Bukola Saraki, Daily Trust has gathered. Sources at the Tuesday meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Assembly caucus with the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, said two camps have emerged.
It was gathered that at the previous meeting, Lawan was endorsed as Saraki’s replacement and Sunny Ogbuoji (APC, Ebonyi) was selected as replacement for Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.
The endorsements led to collation of signatures for the impeachment of Saraki and Ekweremadu. The move followed Saraki’s defection to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).The Tuesday meeting was held behind closed doors at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja.
A lawmaker said the agenda of the meeting was to look into the crisis between the federal lawmakers and state governors, but that the focus was purely on how to effect leadership change at the Senate.
Three senators; two from the Northwest and one from Northeast (a female) supported the position of the rep. The two senators from the Northwest narrated their ordeals in the hands of their governors.One of them traced the genesis of his feud with his governor to when he supported Lawan in 2015 at the inauguration of the Senate.
The plights of Senator Babajide Omoworare, Soji Akanbi and Yahaya Abdullahi were also raised at the meeting. “A senator lamented that the trio were punished by Saraki because of Lawan. He said when Lawan became the Senate Leader he did nothing to address the situation,” the source said “They are in total support of the removal of Saraki and Ekweremadu but the argument is the issue of Lawan. People are now canvassing for Akpabio because he sacrificed his seat (minority leader) for APC. “What we are saying now is that the two should be allowed to campaign and senators should be allowed to select their leaders. Lawan should not be forced on us,” he said.
Reminded that the party requires 2/3 to change Saraki, he said “We are not talking of number now. The problem is how to resolve who replaces them at the end of the day.” At the end of the meeting, Oshiomhole promised that all the issues raised would be looked into.
2Ebisco: The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen Tukur Buratai and 49 senior officers on Wednesday at the Army Headquarters, Abuja took a language proficiency test in Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba languages.
Brig.-Gen Texas Chukwu, the army spokesman, said the test was part of the army’s effort to ensure that all personnel were proficient in the use of the three major Nigerian languages.
Chukwu said the test came after eight months of intensive lecture organised by the army headquarters for the senior officers.
He said the belief in the army was that understanding those languages would aid troops during internal security operations across the country.
“This will also enhance mutual cooperation between the army and the general public,” he said.
Chukwu said the senior officers that participated in the test included Principal Staff Officers of the Army Headquarters, Corps Commanders, Directors, among others.
He quoted Buratai as commending the officers for their conduct throughout the period of the test.
The army chief said the result of the test will be announced soon and urged them to prepare for another exam next week.
Racoon: National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, yesterday declared that the Lagos State chapter of the party will not give automatic ticket to any aspirant in the forthcoming 2019 elections.
Tnubu, who spoke at a stakeholders’ meeting of Lagos APC at the party’s secretariat on Acme Road, Ikeja, insisted that all aspirants, including Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, will go through direct primaries to be decided by members of the party rather than the delegate system, which provides opportunity for few to elect the party flag bearers.
The APC national leader implored the party to mobilise towards registering new members as well as collection of the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) in the state, warning that any council chairman that has highest numbers of uncollected PVCs in the state will be removed.
He also urged all aspirants to work towards the party’s interest in the general elections, saying that any aspirant, who involves in violence or disrupts the party process during registration of new members, will be disqualified from taking part in the party’s primaries. His words: “We want to appeal to all our members to embrace the direct primary that has just being introduced and adopted by our party.
We are committed to our party. We see direct primary as Buhari’s anti-corruption and internal democracy revolution. We are going to embrace that to ensure that the party is brought back to its owners; that is the people and not a few. We have embraced democracy and for you to benefit from it, you have to be member of our party in the first place.”
Tinubu also warned the party’s aspirants not to borrow money to pursue their aspirations. “Don’t go and borrow money to pursue your aspirations. If you come to me because of primaries, I will attend to you. If you bring yam and cassava flour for me, I will collect it, but there is no assurance that I will support you.
“I only have one vote in my ward and my vote is not different from that of other leaders. There is nothing like you are going to meet Asiwaju; I am not going to endorse anybody. Everybody should go to the field to determine his or her popularity by votes.
We will do primaries and whoever wins will be the party’s candidate,” he said. Also speaking, Governor Ambode charged all APC members in the state to canvass and ensure registration of new members to increase the party’s membership.
He noted that if every member of the party can bring a minimum of 100 new members, thepartywillbeat a vantage position to return President Muhammadu Buhari to office in 2019. His words: “Direct primary is the beginning of the revolution about uplifting democracy in Nigeria.
People might not understand what is going on; we are giving power to the people and it is starting from APC. So, we want to collectively say a big thank you to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for championing this revolution. “It is very simple. All we are saying is that, if we know that Lagos State is truly controlled by APC, we will champion a revolution that has never happened in this country.
That means members of our great party will now determine, who becomes the president of this country and by so doing we will be championing the cause that Lagos has the number to make things happen in the country.”
Meanwhile barring any last minute change of mind, former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, will withdraw from the race for Lagos West senatorial seat on the platform of the APC.
New Telegraph gathered from multiple sources within the party that Obanikoro, who recently declared his interest to run for the seat in 2019, has been told to withdraw from the race to pave way for the incumbent, Senator Solomon Adeola to return for a second term.
It was learnt that the appeal was made to him by APC leaders in the state, including Tinubu. “Obanikoro has been told to withdraw from the senatorial race to pave way for Senator Solomon Adeola to be re-elected.
Adeola was told to withdraw from his gubernatorial ambition in Ogun State and return to Lagos based on President Buhari’s advice to prevent any crisis between Tinubu and Governor Ibikunle Amosun. “So, with that agreement, Adeola is going to return to the Senate and that is why they told Obanikoro few days ago to withdraw from the senatorial race.
Obanikoro has a lot of respect for Tinubu and because of that he may not take part in the APC senatorial primary election,” one of the sources said. Another APC chieftain told New Telegraph that “Obanikoro is not going to run again.
He has been told to withdraw from the senatorial race and that is why he has reduced his campaign. You are not going to see him campaign publicly again because Tinubu has already told him to withdraw from the race. He was told point blank few days ago to withdraw from the race and I believe he is going to do so"

He forcefully took away my pride and I was hurt. He said he did that cos he doesn't want to lose me
I wanted to leave but I couldn't cos I love him. I don't offer sex cos I'm religious and I believe it's a sin. Told him to wait till marriage but he wouldn't. for almost a year we ve been courting I didn't allow him touch me.
Till this day he forcefully had sex with me . He wants to come pay my dowry but I'm not sure that my people will let me marry him. I too went and prayed about him and they told me that he is not my husband (about 5 different people said it)
He is OK, financially, is educated and promising. But not God-fearing as I wanted.
Now I'm pained for what he did to me .I'm grieved cos I wanted to lose my pride on my wedding night. and I'm thinking of leaving him cos I'm hurting so much now.
I feel less of myself and sinful too
Please what should I do?

A new parralel secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC scheduled for commissioning today in Rivers State has been destroyed by unknown persons.
The new secretariat positioned opposite Areta Farm Estate on the ever busy Aba Road axis of Portharcourt, was to serve as the operational base of APC members loyal to the Senator representing Rivers South-East, Senator Magnus Abe.
The Abe Group who are in court challenging the ward, local and state congresses held by the APC in Rivers State had taken the new action to set up its own state secretariat.
This planned move was however condemned by Hon.Ojukaye Flag Amachree who is the current Chairman of the APC in Rivers State. Suanu's Blog recalls that Hon.Ojukaye had vowed to seal-off and pull down the structure on Thursday.
A report reaching Suanu's Blog indicate that some thugs alleged to be loyal to Hon.Amachree stormed the factional secretariat, pulled down the APC flags outside and destroyed some fittings in the building in the early hours of Saturday.
The Rivers State Chapter of the APC has been engrossed in crises with members divided in loyalty between Transportation Minister, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Abe who is a governorship aspirant under the APC.
