THE All Progressives Congress (APC) will, this morning, decide whether the Lagos governorship primaries will hold as scheduled.

The electoral panel sent to the state to conduct the primaries reportedly told the 12 aspirants that the decision of the party leadership would be communicated to them by 7.00 a.m. today.

The meeting, held at Lagos Airport Hotel, Ikeja, between the panel, headed by former Edo State deputy governor, Peter Obadan and the aspirants, ended in a deadlock on Wednesday.

One of the aspirants, Dr Leke Pitan, confirmed the meeting and the promise to contact them this morning on the final decision of the party over the demands by 11 of the aspirants.

He also confirmed the meeting, which had members of the state executive of the party in attendance, as inconclusive.

At the meeting, 11 aspirants, with the exception of Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, objected to the planned exercise, scheduled for today.

They reportedly objected to the non-availability of delegates list to aspirants, 24 hours to the election, when the law said seven days before.

They also kicked against delegates reportedly drawn from the 37 local council development areas (LCDAs), arguing that they were not known to the constitution and not in conformity with the provisions of the party’s constitution.

They were also said to have pointed out the danger in using delegates from the said LCDAs, as cases already in court over it could lead to the party not having a candidate for the governorship election.

Only Ambode reportedly spoke in favour of using delegates from all the 57 councils and LCDAs.

Their demands to the panel reportedly included allowing all the aspirants to choose a consensus candidate among them, instead of endorsement by a single person.

In the alternative, they wanted a direct primaries, with the participation of all party members in the state.

They also asked that delegates from the 20 councils should participate in the direct primaries.

Ambode reportedly asked that all the 4,000 delegates from the 57 local government areas and LCDAs should be allowed to participate.

Pitan told the Nigerian Tribune that the demands were advisory in nature.

Obadan reportedly told the aspirants that the panel would contact the national leadership and revert this morning.

Meanwhile, the party has disclosed that 4,000 delegates will participate in the exercise, with registration of delegates commencing as early as 9.00 a.m.

It seems club owners in Lagos may have devised a new means of attracting patronage with the services of strippers at their clubs, knowing too well that anything that has to do with s3x now sells.

Well, it appears 2Face Idibia’s ‘Rumors Nite Club on First Avenue, Festac Town, Lagos, has adopted this style as it is gradually becoming the newest avenue for top Lagos strippers.

It was reliably gathered that the night club parades strippers every Thursday to attract loads of fun-seekers who religiously throng the popular hangout to feed their eyes and sensuous imagination.

“It’s another spectacular night of madness at your no.1 home of fun – Rumors Festac. In case u don’t know, we own Thursdays, Fridays + Saturdays La-Rumors- La strippers Nite La-Scattta La Scatta,” the Club’s new promo message reads.

Rumors in Festac, Lagos, which was established last year, has reportedly emerged the most patronized club in the neighbourhood. It only operates from 10pm daily.

Price of crude oil rose yesterday to above $72 a barrel, recovering from a five-year low it hit earlier as investors looked for a price floor after last week’s Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) decision not to cut production.

But oil and gas as well as industrialists said Nigeria shouldn’t jubilate yet as the country’s loss to the slip will take a long time to recoup.

U.S. crude and Brent have fallen for five months in a row, oil’s longest losing streak since the 2008 financial crisis.

Brent hit a low of $67.53 a barrel, the lowest since October 2009, before rising to $72.00 a barrel yesterday.

U.S. crude was up $1.01 at $67.16 a barrel, having slipped to an intraday low of $63.72, the lowest since July 2009.

“The market is still very much in panic mode,” said Energy Aspects’ chief oil analyst Amrita Sen.

“Once we get over the panic, Brent prices will probably stabilise at around $65-80 a barrel in the short term.”

“We can expect such volatility in the near future given the market had overshot to the downside,” Sen said.

Oil lost more than 12 percent after OPEC’s decision last Thursday.

Speaking with one of our correspondents in Lagos yesterday, the Director General of Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Mr Muda Yusuf said it is too early to jubilate over the oil price surge.
