*POWERFUL TESTIMONY ON BARRISTER BY DADDY SHOWKEY*
HOW DID YOU MEET BARRISTER
I met him for the first time around 1978/79. I have skill in
acrobatic and there was a show at NTV, the show is for Elders, it
called Barbic show, I used to go there to performed acrobatic, it
was there Barrister saw me and developed interest in me and
asked me to be following him.
WHAT WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH BARRISTER
Hmmm! No musician like Barrister. When I was 8years old, as a
said I have skill in acrobatic so also I can crown like a cook. I have
a brother/promoter then, that usually carried me to different
parties/shows to display my skill, it was at one of this shows that
baba name me "Aguko" and he always called me anytime he have
show.
There was a show at TBS around 1984 tagged musical jamboree, I
was 14yrs old, the bouncers at the entrance didn't allow me to
enter but to my surprised, Barrister sent his manager outside to
come and carry me.
I started vacation job in 1985 at Wharf and this makes me to lost
contact with Barrister.
On my way coming from work one day, I heard Barrister album
released title "fertilizer", I don't have money with me to buy the
album, I have to steal my mother money to buy it. My mother have
JBC Tape and that gives me the opportunity to always play the
cassette, when my mother knew that I stole her money, she beat
me.
HOW DID YOU MEET HIM AGAIN AFTER THE LOST OF CONTACT
It was in 1994, when I released my first record, I told some of my
friends that I wish Barrister can bless the record, but they told me I
should not, that anybody Barrister put his hand on his head will
never be sucessful and will die of headache but I told them, I will
go.
I heard of Barrister show at FASLAK HOTEL for Demola Yakubu
wife birthday, there was a woman selling things at the gate of the
hotel that I approached and begged her to allow me to see
Barrister, she was the one that handed me over to Alhaja Yakubu
that I wanted to see Barrister and she took me to his room upstair,
when Barrister saw me he shouted my name "Aguko gagara" and I
told him my mission, he asked the Alfas in the room with him to
pray for me and he himself bless my cassette, he gave the Alfas
unbelievable amount of money as "owo adura", then one of the
Alfas said my record will sell beyond my imagination but I should
not forget that day and what Barrister did for me.
The party started around 7pm and Barrister was on stage before I
entered the party ground, he was singing and quickly changed it
when he saw me .........awon kan lomo ohun tose won ti won ko lati
jo.......Daddy Showkey ma wole omo Baba, Daddy Showkey ma
wole omo Ayinde, iwo na adagba lola Olohun Oba......" He then
opened his brief case and sprayed me money, which I also did but
he ordered his manager to give me back all the money, when i
counted the money, it was #280,000.
After that day, I told my doubting friends that am alive with no
headache and my record was selling fast.
ANY UNFORGETTABLE THINGS BARRISTER DID FOR YOU
Thank you! The same 1994 Raskimono took me to Abuja for a
concert and the day happened to be Barrister birthday, I didn't
know he was at Abuja, we even lodged at the same hotel
(Transcorp).
On that day as I wanted to open the entrance door, I don't know it's
slidding door and I fell down, peoples there makes jest of me but
immediately the door opened, I saw Barrister and he carried me up
and said a day will come people making jest of me will praised me
back.
He advised me that all the money Raskimono gave me for the
concert should be spent wisely. The total money was #15000, as
Ajegunle boy, I gave my mother #10,000 and took the remaining
#5000 to Madillas and buy some clothes and also buy beers for my
friends.
It was my friends I bought beers that reported me to Ajegunle
Police station, that am just spending money, that they don't know
how I got the money, the DPO at the station was Taiwo Olakanu
and IPO was Baba Laso.
I was detained but there was a day the DPO cousin visited him and
told him, there is a new musician in town that he played at a show
at Abuja, that same day, they were planning to show me on TV as
armed robber, the IPO brought me to DPO office and his cousin
saw me and told the DPO that I am the musician. It was at the
station they signed me for my second show for Unilag student.
After the show, I was released and I went to Barrister and explained
everything to him, he then advised me to bank account. The
account was opened with Citizen Bank, Barrister and Dr. Patrick
Obubo served as my guarantors.
I was a guest artiste at a popular musician 40th birthday
celebration in 1997, it was at the party that I was called that my
wife was rushed to hospital for labour. On getting to the hospital,
the Doctor told me to deposit some amount of money but that time
I was financially down due to a promoter that refused to give me
my foreign trip money.
A thought came to my mind to approach the musician I left his
party, on getting there I was he is resting, I waited for long but to
my surprised, two female visited the man and the security told
them in Yoruba language, that the musician did not want to see me.
The security didn't know I can speak Yoruba.
I left there and decided to visit Alhaji Barrister since his house is
not far to that musician house, on getting there, I was told Baba
travelled to Ibadan but his manager help me called him and Baba
started singing ".....moriwa, mori waya ni Isolo....the next thing
baba asked his manager to give me #25000 for the baby, #25000
for the mother, #25000 as hospital bill etc the total money I
collected that day was #250,000.
Infact I will never forget that day in my life.
On getting to the hospital, the Doctor told me to leave the money.
WHY ONLY BARRISTER
Thank you, Baba is extraordinary human being and I believe he is
rightly behind God in heaven.
My first house at Ojodu, Barrister gave me 250bags of cement and
500pcs of blocks to start the work.
If Barrister is two in Nigeria, things will change. His music gave me
wisdom and makes me different human being, even many people in
Ibadan believe am his son.
His son Barry Showkey took his stage name from my name.
I am not a Fuji Musician but anybody that talk ill of Barrister
Legacy will perish.
WHAT WAS YOUR MOTHER REACTION TO BARRISTER
Remember I told you the first musician album I bought was
fertilizer and I stole my mother money to buy it.
I was at the naming ceremony of my good friend Pasuma child, my
wife and Pasuma wife put to bed a day interval, on the naming
ceremony day, when I reached there I saw only Malaika, Remi
Aluko and Atawewe and I asked Pasuma why didn't he invite
Barrister but he told me baba will not come, I and my Lawyer
(Abdul Kehinde) rushed down to Barrister house and I went straight
to his bedroom and I told him Pasuma is celebrating his child
naming but baba told me, nobody invited him, even he didn't know
but I told him, he is aware now and he must go, but he said he was
engaged and gave me a reasonable amount of money to give
Pasuma, which I will like Pasuma to disclosed by himself and I told
him the following day is my own daughter naming as well, he gave
me #250,000.
On getting back, I gave the money to Pasuma, he was surprised
and he gave me #150,000 out of it.
On the day of my daughter naming, everybody was around and I
told them, am waiting for Baba to give my child name but he later
sent message that Iya Eko was sick and he need to visit her.
Around 7pm that day when we have finished party, I just saw a
cooling van coming in front of a car, guessed who came out of the
car? It was Baba, he appologised for coming late, party start all
over again.
My mother was just crying that the man you stole my money to buy
his record, now came to our house to visit you. Today my son, you
have achieved.
YOUR ADVICE FOR FUJI MUSICIAN
Everything will be past, they must not let baba legacy to die, Fuji
music will continue going backward until they all celebrate the
founder.
I will honour Barry without calling any of them, if Barrister "takes
English dey play music" the world will celebrate him.
I appreciate OLUDASILE FUJI ON FM for keeping the legacy alive

Biology says that after sexual intercourse, about 200 to 300 million sperms are deposited by the man, they all begin to swim upwards within the track to meet with the ovum, out of the 200 million that are deposited only 300 to 500 actually reach the site (others get tired on the way because is not an easy race) and of the 300 that manage to reach the ovum (egg), only one fertilised the egg and in this case the winning one is YOU. Have you ever thought about this? You ran a race without your eyes and your legs you WON, you ran a race without your education and you WON, you ran without certificate and you WON, you ran without help and you WON, what makes you think you will Lose now? Now that you have both eyes and legs, now that you have the knowledge of God's word, now that you have plans, visions and dreams, beloved you didn't give up on day one, so you can't give up now, giving up now is an insult to your creator. It doesn't matter what you see now, take it as a challenge and always remember that you WON from womb.

“They came under the pretence of delivery
Agent, I wa detained in a cell like a
Criminal”– D’Banj’s rape accuser, Seyitan
finally breaks silence, releases new
statement revealing all that has happened
since she accused him of rape
The woman who accused Nigerian music mogul, Oladapo Daniel
Oyebanjo, better known by D’Banj, of rape, Seyitan Babatayo has
in a new development, released a statement detailing the timeline
of events since she came out with her story.
In her statement, Seyitan insists that she was sexually assaulted
by the singer. She claims that he arrested and intimidated her
after she came out with her story then and also threatened that
he can “buy off anyone within the justice system in Lagos“.
In Seyitan’s statement, she stresses that she was “violated and
raped ” by D’banj after he allegedly gained access into her hotel
room on December 30, 2018.
She says she was forced to come out with her story on June 3rd,
2020, to call the singer out over his “hypocrisy” after he went
online to make a post about “ saying no to rape “.
Seyitan revealed that on June 6th, 2020, she went to the Bar
Beach police station in Victoria Island to make a formal complaint
but was not attended to. According to her, her attempt was
“ thwarted by an officer of the law at the said police barracks“.
Ten days after she tried to report her case to the police, she said
4 armed police officers stormed her apartment and arrested her
without a warrant. She said they gained entrance by pretending to
be delivery guys.
She revealed that her mother was not arrested as was claimed by
reports. She says she was detained in a police cell with criminals
with no one disclosing what her offence was.
She said the following day, June 17, she was made to sign a “gag
order” by the police and D’banj’s team and she “could only post on
social media what had been approved by D’banj’s team “.
D’Banj
She then revealed she was released and D’Banj’s team allegedly
picked her up and took her to an undisclosed location where she
was “isolated, coerced, pressured, and intimidated in person by
D’banj and his team. ”
Seyitan claims they allegedly took hold of her social media
accounts and forced her to say that her statement was a publicity
stunt.
She said her mother, her lawyer, and her friends were unable to
reach her until activists swung into action and tracked her using
satellite mapping.
Seyitan added that “since June 18th, D’banj through his team has
continued to harrass me .” She said they also make threats.
According to her, she never came out for financial gain — she
said at the time she came out, she only asked for an apology
through her lawyers. She insists that the apology is all she’s still
asking for.
She said she’s still dealing with the “effects of the rape, the trauma
of recounting that multiple times this week and the indignity of being
held against my will for two (2) days. ”
“I’m still yet to come to terms with the fact that my fundamental
human rights were stolen from me,” Seyitan said.
She also added that no one should be subjected to what she has
been through, from “the violent abuse which happened to me in a
hotel room that the door was locked to being intimidated for
speaking up. ” she said.
“Most importantly, nobody should have the right to use their name or
status to intimidate survivors who speak out or to tamper with
justice.”
She went on to thank those who stood by her and asked for time
to heal.

Winner of the 2019 edition of the BBNaija reality TV show, Mercy Eke, has revealed how she lost millions of naira in a deal with a champagne company because of a fan. Recounting the incident, Mercy, said she was approached by a champagne company that wanted her to sign a deal with them and also attend a party they wanted to organise and she obliged. The company being impressed with the outcome of the meeting held with Mercy and her management team, paid her the agreed sum, even before signing the dotted lines. This happened on a Wednesday and Mercy was supposed to start the activation of the deal on Thursday which was the second day, only for a fan to spoil the partly sealed deal. Mercy told her fellow former housemates who were present for the BBNaija 2019 Reunion show that the fan in question put a call through to one of the staff members of the champagne company to ask if it was true that the company recently signed Mercy and if it was true that she would be attending the upcoming party organised by the company. Unfortunately, the company worker called told the fan that Mercy had no deal with the company and would not be attending the said party. After the call, the fan was reported to post the information given on the internet and making internet users troll Mercy. According to Mercy, that did not go well with her. “Immediately I saw that, I called Chief Priest and told him what was going on on the internet and we decided that if the company say they do not know me, me too do not know them. I told the company that if I was going to go ahead with the deal, they should release an official statement saying that they know me and to also apologise. “My management made me return the money because, they refuse to apologise and the damage has been done.” According to her, she was unable to go ahead with the deal, though the company was a big and well recognised one. She blamed the loss of money, damage to her integrity and image to the fan who went ahead to make public information that was not true and also not gotten from the right source.

First vaccinations begin in Africa for
COVID-19 trial
A vaccine volunteer receives an injection at the Chris
Hani Baragwanath hospital in Soweto, Johannesburg
Wednesday, June 24, 2020. Africa’s first participation in
a COVID-19 vaccine trial has begun as volunteers
received injections developed at the University of Oxford
in Britain. /AP
Africa’s first participation in a COVID-19 vaccine trial
started Wednesday as nervous volunteers received
injections, while officials said the continent of 1.3
billion people cannot be left behind.
The large-scale trial of the vaccine developed at the
University of Oxford in Britain is being conducted in
South Africa, Britain and Brazil.
South Africa has nearly one-third of Africa’s
confirmed cases with more than 106,000, including
more than 2,100 deaths. The country late Tuesday
reported its biggest one-day death toll of 111.
“I feel a little bit scared but I want to know what is
going on with this vaccine so that I can tell my
friends and others what is going on with the study,”
one of the vaccine trial volunteers, Junior Mhlongo,
said in Johannesburg.
The African continent now has nearly 325,000 cases
as countries loosen restrictions under economic
pressure from citizens who say they have to feed their
families.
Shortages of testing materials and medical supplies
remain a problem as Africa could become the world’s
next hot spot.
The pandemic was delayed in Africa “but is picking up
speed very quickly,” the Africa Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention chief John Nkengasong said
Wednesday, with a steep increase in the number of
cases and deaths.
“Unless we act now, Africa is at risk of being left
behind on the global vaccine,” he warned a
continental discussion and urged that local
manufacturing and scientific expertise play a key role.
Cameroon, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya and South Africa
all have highly developed clinical trial capabilities,
said Salim Abdool Karim, chair of South Africa’s
ministerial advisory committee for COVID-19.
Many other sub-Saharan African countries also have
clinical trial capacity, said Daniel Bausch, director of
the UK Public Health Rapid Support Team.
“We’re not only needing but capable of participating”
as the world races for a vaccine, South Africa’s
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said.
African leaders have been outspoken about the
continent being elbowed out in the intense global
competition for medical supplies in this pandemic, as
well as what the World Health Organization’s Africa
chief, Matshidiso Moeti, called the “distortion of the
global market for key items.”
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged that
the initial supply of any COVID-19 vaccine be
deployed where it’s most needed, rather than based
on the “ability to pay.”
Tedros also announced that as of this week, all 54 of
Africa’s countries now have the lab capacity to test
for the coronavirus.
In February, just two African nations could test for the
virus. The continent’s first virus case was reported on
Feb. 14.

Cristiano Ronaldo is planning MLS switch
after leaving Juventus, reveals Nani
Cristiano Ronaldo Juventus FC Luis Nani
Manchester United FC
Cristiano Ronaldo expects to end his playing career in
America, his former Manchester United teammate Nani has
revealed.
The 35-year-old is showing few signs of ever leaving his
prime at current club Juventus, where he has scored 53
goals in 76 games since arriving from Real Madrid in 2018.
The Portuguese legend remains under contract in Turin until
2022 and Nani believes he will then make the move to MLS.
Nani is already playing in America, having joined Orlando City
from Sporting last year, and he has a lot of praise for the
league, where he would love to see his compatriot end up.
‘A couple of years ago, he told me that he will probably end
up in America,’ Nani told ESPN . ‘It’s not 100% but probably.
There is a chance.
‘It is a great league. Obviously there are points where we
must improve as a league, even in the quality of the players.
‘Here you have fantastic clubs, well organised with fantastic
conditions, great coaches, great players. You see every
season improving,” he said.
‘I think we all have the conditions in this league. We are in a
great country. Everything is around us. It is all about being
better, not being afraid to improve
David Beckham’s new MLS franchise, Inter Miami, could be
the natural move for Ronaldo and the Englishman has been
asked about potentially signing CR7 in the past.
‘We really believe in the roster we have, the players that we
have we’re really happy with,’ Beckham said in February.
‘But we have also talked about if we have the opportunity to
bring in big name players from Europe into our city, we will
do that.
‘Every team in the world would want Messi and Ronaldo in
their teams, but we always talked about us being different
from any other team, which I am sure every other owner says
exactly the same thing.
‘So that’s what we will try to do and if we have the
opportunity to bring big name players in then great — we’re
lucky we have an ownership group that has that vision and
wants to succeed and has that competitiveness where we
want the best players.’

Nigerian Universities’ Scientists, under the aegis of COVID-19
Research Group, on Friday announced the discovery of a vaccine
for the prevention of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Addressing a news conference on Friday at Adeleke University,
Ede, in Osun, Dr Oladipo Kolawole, Leader of the team, said the
vaccine was being developed locally in Africa for Africans.
Kolawole , a Specialist in Medical Virology, Immunology and
Bioinformatics, at Adeleke University, Ede, however, said the
vaccine would also work for other continents when unveiled.
He said the study, which led to the discovery of the vaccine, had
enjoyed initial funding by the Trinity Immunodeficient Laboratory
and Helix Biogen Consult, Ogbomosho, to the tune of about N7.8
million.
Kolawole said the group had been working extensively by
exploring the SARS-CoV-2 genome from African countries to
select the best possible potential vaccine candidates.
He said after trying out some selected processes of vaccine
development, the researchers had been able to choose the best
potential vaccine candidates for the SARS-CoV-2 and had made
the possible latent vaccine constructs.
On how soon the unnamed vaccine would be unveiled to the
public, Kolawole said that it would take a minimum of 18 months.
According to him, this is because a lot of analysis and studies as
well as approvals by medical authorities were still required.
Also, Prof. Solomon Adebola , the Acting Vice-Chancellor of the
university, said the university was poised to assist in the funding
of the research with a view to bringing the vaccine to limelight.
“ We are glad that a vaccine that will provide solution to a global
problem like Coronavirus pandemic is coming from the garden.
“It is our passion to be a solution provider to such a global
pandemic, and we are ready to throw our weights behind the team
and make the vaccine a reality,” Adebola said.
Commenting, Prof. Julius Oloke, the Head, Coordinating Unit of
the Research Group and Vice-Chancellor of Precious Cornerstone
University, Ibadan, said the vaccine was real.
He said, “It’s a pleasure that we have come together to produce a
vaccine at a time that the world is in need of solution to a ravaging
pandemic.
“It’s a proof that we are working and not folding our hands or looking
away from the problem.
“The vaccine is real. We have validated it severally. It is targeted at
Africans, but will also work for other races.
“It will work. It cannot be faked. This is a result of determination. It
took a lot of scientific efforts.
“The population of those that need vaccines is more than those that
need drugs. That is why the research focussed on vaccine.”

Novak Djokovic, the world No 1 tennis player, has tested
positive for coronavirus .
The Serbian becomes the latest player who featured on
the ill-advised Adria Tour last week to contract Covid-19,
with events going ahead without any social distancing
protocols and with full stadiums in Croatia.
Djokovic’s positive test follows similar results for Grigor
Dimitrov, Borna Coric and Viktor Troicki, who all played
at events last week and joined each other in games of
football, basketball and on nights out.
In a statement issued on his official website, Djokovic
confirmed that both he and his wife tested positive for
Covid-19 upon returning to Belgrade from the Croatian
city of Zadar, where the most-recent Adria Tour event was
being held.
“The moment we arrived in Belgrade we went to be
tested,” Djokovic said. “My result is positive, just as
Jelena’s, while the results of our children are negative.”
The 17-time Grand Slam winner added: “I am extremely
sorry for each individual case of infection. I hope that it
will not complicate anyone’s health situation and that
everyone will be fine.
“I will remain in self-isolation for the next 14 days, and
repeat the test in five days.”
Djokovic organised the event to take place in Serbia,
Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia, although the
Montenegrin government stepped in to cancel their event
and next weekend’s two-day affair in the Bosnian city of
Banja Luka is now certain to be abandoned too.

and Zadar (EPA)
However, a sellout 4,000 crowd attended both days of the
Belgrade event, while a 50 per cent attendance was
present in Zadar for last weekend’s tournament where
Djokovic, Dimitrov and Coric all played.
Djokovic stressed that he organised the event “with a
pure heart” to keep players in South-Eastern Europe
match fit while global tennis is on hold due to the
pandemic, but his actions has attracted significant
criticism for aiding the cross-border spread of Covid-19.
“Everything we did in the past month, we did with a pure
heart and sincere intentions,” Djokovic added. “Our
tournament meant to unite and share a message of
solidarity and compassion throughout the region.
“The Tour has been designed to help both established and
up and coming tennis players from South-Eastern Europe
to gain access to some competitive tennis while the
various tours are on hold due to the Covid-19 situation.
Novak Djokovic poses with a number of young volunteers and
players on Sunday 14 June in Belgrade (AP)
“It was all born with a philanthropic idea, to direct all
raised funds towards people in need and it warmed my
heart to see how everybody strongly responded to this.
“We organised the tournament at the moment when the
virus has weakened, believing that the conditions for
hosting the Tour had been met.
“Unfortunately, this virus is still present, and it is a new
reality that we are still learning to cope and live with.
“I am hoping things will ease with time so we can all
resume lives the way they were.”

while on the Adria Tour (AP)
The tournament drew criticism from leading voices within
the sport for not including any social distancing
measures, with players regularly seen to be hugging each
other at the net, shaking hands with each other and match
umpires, and posing for photographs with numerous fans.
It drew criticism this week from current Australian star
Nick Kyrios and multiple Grand Slam winner Chris Evert,
who questioned how the tournament can be allowed to go
ahead without such measures at a time when the
pandemic is ongoing.
Djokovic was helped in staging the Adria Tour by his
brother Djordje, who admitted before news of the world
No 1’s positive test was known that the contraction of
coronavirus by numerous players was a “worst-case
scenario”.

"This was the worst possible scenario," event director
Djordje Djokovic told Serbia's Prva Television. "Novak was
not obliged to take the test in Croatia as he had no
symptoms. He took the test straight after his flight landed
in Belgrade.
"Around 100 people were tested and I was hard-hit by
news that some of them came back positive, especially my
childhood friend Borna Coric. We wish all of them a
speedy and painless recovery."
Troicki did not play at last weekend’s event in Zadar, but
joined Djokovic in Belgrade where he played in the first
leg on 13 and 14 June.

disease, the government reported.
A genetic analysis of COVID-19 patients suggests that blood
type might influence whether someone develops severe
disease, according to a New England Journal of Medicine

were more likely to have severe disease while those with
Type O were less likely.

A father said to his son: You graduated with honors, here is a car that I acquired many years ago ... it is several years old. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you. The son went to the used car lot, returned to his father and said, "They offered me $ 1,000 because it looks very worn out." The father said, "Take him to the pawn shop." The son went to the pawn shop, returned to his father and said, "The pawn shop offered $ 100 because it was a very old car." The father asked his son to go to a car club and show them the car. The son took the car to the club, returned and told his father: “Some people in the club offered $ 100,000 for it, since it is a Nissan Skyline R34, iconic car and sought after by many. The father said to his son, "I wanted you to know that the right place values ​​you the right way." ... If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means that you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you, and never stay in a place where no one sees your value. # respect

My friend told me he has one boss working in one big company in Nigeria earning over #250,000 monthly. Despite this huge salary, this man still decided to resign & left Nigeria with his family (wife & 2 kids)to Canada. He asked his boss why he took such step despite the fact that he's doing fine in Nigeria, he was amazed with the response of his boss, the man said "I DID IT FOR MY KIDS". Does that mean he sees no future for his kids here? Does that mean there's nothing to hope on here? Does that mean the man is not being patriotic? Too many questions running through my mind on that.

The veteran defender has conceded uncertainty over his playing
future didn't help matters after a poor performance on
Wednesday
David Luiz has accepted responsibility for his role in Arsenal's
3-0 loss to Manchester City and stressed his desire to remain at
the club next season.
The Brazilian was subbed on in the 24th minute on Wednesday
and went to make a key error for City's opener before also
conceding a penalty and being sent off shortly into the second
half .
With his contract at the Emirates due to expire at season's end,
pundits have declared Luiz has no future at the club , but the
man himself thinks otherwise.
Speaking post-match, the defender conceded he was to blame
for his side's loss and admitted his Arsenal future needs to be
sorted with both he and manager Mikel Arteta eager for a
contract extension.
"It was not the team's fail, it was my fault. The coach is
amazing, all the players did amazing, it was just my fault," Luiz
told Sky Sports .
"I should have taken a different decision in the last two months.
I didn't - it was all about my contract. I don't want to use that as
an alibi or excuse, it's just my fault and that's it.
"I love to be here that is why I continue to train hard and that is
why I came today. Nobody asked me to speak, it is up to me to
show my face.
"I want to stay. The coach knows and wants me to stay, we are
waiting for the decisions."
Arsenal's return to Premier League action was a night to forget
with Granit Xhaka and Pablo Mari both forced from the field
with respective injuries .
Arteta admitted post-match that it was a horror night for his
side as he refused to throw Luiz under the bus for his
performance.
"Everything went wrong from the first minute. Every possible
accident that could have happened hopefully happened today,"
Arteta told Sky Sports .
On Luiz, Arteta added: "He is someone that is very honest and
straight forward. My opinion on David Luiz hasn't changed. It
won't change because he had a difficult performance tonight."
Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira recently suggested Luiz
was close to signing a new deal with Arsenal as his own club
couldn't afford to sign the Brazilian.

Legality of Appointment of Ajimobi as APC Acting
National Chairman
Kunle Awosiyan 3 hours ago 85
The order of Court dated the 4th of March 2020 which was made
by Justice Danlami Senchi of the FCT High Court Abuja in an
action filed by Mr. Oluwale Afolabi suspending the National
Chairman of APC Comrade Adams Oshoimole was affirmed
yesterday by the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja pending the
determination of the substantive suit.
In other words the suspension of the National Chairman will
continue to be in place until the final determination of the
substantive suit by the trial court.
However, in a swift reaction or response to that Order by the apex
court the NWC of APC has validly appointed the Deputy National
Chairman of the Party South; H.E. Senator Ajimobi as the acting
National Chairman of the party in line with Article 14;2 (iii) of the
APC constitution;
Needless to mention that the adversaries of the National Chairman
of the party which is led by Senator Lawal Shuaibu Deputy
National Chairman North..or Chief Victor Giadom the vice
chairman of APC South South cannot act as the National Chairman
of APC since there is a Deputy National Chairman, South of the
party in person of Senator Ajimobi the former governor of Oyo
State.
Actions or duties or proclamations already performed by the NWC
under the Leadership of Comrade Adams Oshoimole in respect of
the APC primary election in Edo State are very much intact and
valid in law. On point is the case of Rt. Hon. Michael Balogun &
Ors Vs. Governor Of Anambra State & Ors. (2009) LPELR-729 (SC).
Consequently the Deputy National Chairman of the party HE.
Senator Abiola Ajimobi will continue to preside over the affairs of
the party until the said order is reversed or set aside by the
Supreme Court. In an effort to set aside this Order the National
Chairman of the party and the APC would have to file a Notice of
Appeal and motion for stay of execution of the Order and perhaps
ensure that the records of proceedings are swiftly transmitted to
the SC wherein the appeal would be said to be entered!. I think
there’s no cause for panic because the Leadership of the party is
very much in control.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, said he has not travelled out of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, since March 22.

The minister was reacting to a letter written by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Executive Jets Services Limited, Sam Iwuajoku, over circumstances surrounding a Lagos-Abuja-flight operated on Saturday.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that the airline was suspended by the Federal Government for flying a musician, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, and his team to Abuja to attend a concert.

The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika had announced the suspension during a Presidential Task Force briefing in Abuja on Monday.

Subsequently, the Chairman of the airline wrote a letter of apology to Sirika saying he gave the approval for the flight thinking the passenger was Fashola.

Reacting in a statement on Tuesday, Fashola’s Special Adviser on Communications, Hakeem Bello, said, “The attention of the Office of the Honourable Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola SAN, has been drawn to a letter signed by the Chairman/CEO of Executive Jets Services Limited, Dr Sam Iwuajoku concerning a flight it operated to Abuja last weekend.

“For purposes of clarity and in order to set the records straight, the Hon. Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola SAN, has not travelled out of Abuja since March 22, 2020, when he returned there after an inspection tour of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway construction work and a visit to Lagos, before the lockdown.

“The decision of the Hon. Minister not to travel was taken in strict compliance with the Federal Government’s ban on inter-state travels as part of efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It is therefore ridiculous for Dr Iwuajoku to attempt to link the Hon. Minister with any non-compliant flight.”
