More than 2000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and two members from Labour Party (LP) have dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borikyo Council ward of Ukum local Government area of Benue State.

They were led by Mr. Paul Ayati yesterday.

The defectors burnt their membership cards to show their loyalty, pledging allegiance to the APC.

Addressing the decampees, Benue state Commissioner for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr.Tersoo Kpelai thanked Borikyo people for believing in the change agenda over the years.

He listed the achievements of Governor Samuel Ortom in his one year of being in office.

“The difference between our administration and the previous one is that the previous Government had the resources and allocations in excess, yet refused to use it judiciously but will are operating on dwindling allocations,” Kpelai said.

Actress, Stella Damasus has joined numerous Nigerians to call for justice for Mrs. Bridget Agbahwe, who was beheaded in Kano yesterday for alleged blasphemy. Damasus in series of tweets said that the people, who committed the crime are not Muslims, but murderers that want to start religious war in the country.




"Those people who killed Bridget are not Muslims. They are bloody murderers who should be brought to justice. #JusticeForBridget.Religion should not be used as an excuse to kill in this century. They have to be caught and punished #JusticeForBridget.


"Some evil men want to cause a religious war in this time when Nigeria is facing so much. #JusticeForBridget.


"We should not be tempted to retaliate because the real Muslims are not in support of this. #JusticeForBridget. The perpetrators are not even worthy to be called Islamic extremists. They are frustrated killers who need to be taught the lesson of life.


"Let us keep praying and talking about this till justice is served #JusticeForBridget. Nigeria cannot be a country that will be known to accept murder regardless of the reason. #JusticeForBridget," she said.

The Special Assistant on Parliamentary Matters to Governor Ayodele Fayose, Mr. Samuel Ajibola, has resigned his appointment.

Ajibola, in his letter of resignation, said he had to quit because of some “basic developmental issues and the economic situation in the state” which he could no longer pretend over.

In his letter dated May 28, Ajibola said, “I humbly write this to formally notify you that I am resigning from my position as your S.A on Parliamentary Affairs.

“Sir, within my personal conviction, I am satisfied that I have in honesty and utmost loyalty served the PDP, the people of Ekiti and government in general.

“Therefore, I premise my resignation on some basic developmental issues and the economic situation in the state which I cannot continue to pretend over. My resignation takes off immediately.”

The Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has however approved the appointment of Hon. Alexander Adeojo as the Special Assistant to the Governor on Parliamentary Matters.The appointment of Adeojo resulted from the resignation of Hon. Samuel Oyedele Ajibola from that position.

In a statement on Tuesday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Idowu Adelusi, the appointment of Adeojo takes immediate effect.

Meanwhile, the governor has thanked Ajibola for his meaningful contributions to the administration and development of the state while he was Special Assistant, Parliamentary Matters to the Governor.

The governor also wished him the best of luck in his future political endeavours.

Dele Momodu has always been a fan of John Dramani Mahama, the incumbent President of Ghana, and so it didn’t come as a surprise to many Nigerians when he declared support for the politician who is running for another term in office.

However, Ghanaians following the Nigerian publisher have called him out for supporting Mahama’s return to office, accusing him of meddling into their politics for personal gain, a claim Momodu thoroughly denies.

While Mahama is the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), his opponent Nana Afufo-Addo of the National Patriotic Party (NPP), is winning many hearts, hence why the country-people are slugging it out with Momodu.

See their exchange above.

But Dele Momodu is undeterred. He has since been posting Mahama’s flyers, driving his point home: he isn’t scared easily.

Perhaps, his Ghanaian followers need to look up his fight with Davido’s Adeleke family and see how tenacious the publisher can be when driven?
