This was what the PDP Vice Presidential Candidate said today on Arise TV today:
"I served with 6 Police Commissioners. Not one is from the South East. When I started, my first police commissioner was John Haruna from Taraba. When he left, he handed over to Musa Bello from Kwara. Then followed by Philemon Leha from Adamawa. Then Mutare from Kano. Then Nasarawa from Kebbi State. Finally Gware from Adamawa.
My ADC was Idris from Kano and my orderly, Manya from Taraba.
As you know, no Governor is in control of either Police or State security services.
Ask El Rufai how many Igbo people he had entrusted his personal security in their hands.
There was election in my state and I, as the sitting Governor didn't go to arrest anybody on election day or seen moving from one Local government to the other.
As the Governor, I went to my own local government to vote and back to Awka.
El Rufai came to Anambra State on an election day and said he wants to move around the Local governments. The state security services said you can't move around. Not even the Governor is allowed to move around.
Only accredited voters and accredited monitors in groups are allowed to move from place to place. So, for your safety, we want you to be safe, so stay in the hotel.
If you come for a party affair, you stay in the hotel which I think is right.
When I was asked after that in an interview I said now listen... I Peter wouldn't want to be in Kaduna, for the same reason on an election day.
In my 8 years in office, go and ask them how many people were killed in my state the way people are being killed in his state".

The training session which was led by the head coach, Genort Rohr had 10 players in attendance.According to the head coach,the remaining 11 players will hit camp today and hopefully, take part in the evening training session.

It was a great game,Rangers came back from 3 goals down to win the match 4-2 on penalties

I don't know if I am supposed to be the one apologising or Nairaland guys . They stopped me from making updates during the match. Anyway;I am sorry for not keeping my words.

Actions resume tomorrow in the UEFA Champions League. Like it has been its reputation,we have some mouthwatering encounters this week and we can't be happier as they are evenly distributed between the two match days. On Tuesday it will be Manchester United playing hosts to Juventus,Champions of Italy. On Wednesday it will be Barcelona clashing with Internazionale of Italy at Camp Nou.

**Manchester United Versus Juventus**
This is a match nobody will want to miss because of three reasons: First,the two teams have had a contrasting season so far. Manchester United at the moment are finding it difficult to win matches. Though results from their past two games have suggest improvements but that does not take away the fact that they are not where they are supposed to be. People will want to know if Jose Mourinho and his team have gotten their acts right or if their last two performances were a flash in the pan. Looking at their last 6 games;the Old Trafford side has just 1 win. Their opponent, Juventus has 5 wins from the same number of games. They have lost matches everybody expected them to win. They have lost to sides in the lower half of the premier league table. Their last outing in the UEFA champions league was a boring goalless draw with Valencia at Old Trafford. The same Valencia that were beaten by a ten-man Juventus team on match day 1.
The second reason that makes this particular match a must watch is the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Old Trafford, his former home. The 33 year old Portuguese international wowed fans with his skills and pace during his 5 year stay at the 'Theatre of Dreams'.It was after helping the 'Red Devils' to their third UEFA champions league trophy in 2008 in Moscow that he won his 1st FIFA best player of the year award. This will not be his first visit to Old Trafford since he left in 2009 though as he has visited once while still at Real Madrid but this is more special because it is his first with his new team;Juventus. Also more interesting is the fact that the man under whose tutelage he played at Real Madrid- his compatriot; Jose Mourihno,will be in his former home's dugout dishing out instructions on how to shackle him.
The third reason can only be about one man. The man who left Manchester United just to prove a point. His opponent tomorrow will be the very team he ran to for help when no one believed in him. When no one gave him a chance.
He did prove his point(s),made lots of money for the team that helped his achieve his aims and returned to Manchester United a king.
It is Paul Pogba for Manchester United against Juventus.
