The All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention screening committee Tuesday night concluded screening of national chairmanship aspirants, with Senator representing Nasarawa West in the National Assembly, Adamu Abdullahi failing to show up.

The implication is that Abdullahi's name would not be on the ballot as a contender for the position of national chairman at the party's national convention on Saturday.

Those screened by the Governor Aminu Masari-led committee include Senators Sani Musa, Tanko Al-Makura, George Akume and a former governor of Zamfara State. Abdul'Aziz Yari. Also screened were Alhaji Salihu Mustapha and Mohammed Etsu.

Citing "party supremacy" and the zoning of the national chairmanship position to the North Central, an aspirant, Dr. Sani Shinkafi, who like Yari is from Zamfara State, pulled out few hours to the screening excercise.

No reason was cited for Senator Abdullahi's inability to show up, even as the Masari-led commuttee moved on with the screening of other categories of party offices.

Senator Abdullahi had caused a stir when he claimed President Muhammadu Buhari endorsed him as the sole candidate. He also claimed the Senate leadership endorsed him.

APC sources, however, hinted that party elders may have advised Abdullahi to drop his national championship aspiration in view of the controversy his candidacy had generated.

"To begin with, Senator Abdullahi was the last to indicate interest. He opened his campaign office a few days ago. He allowed his state governor Abdullahi Sule and the entire Nasarawa APC endorse Tanko Al'Makura before coming out with his ambition," offered a party elder.

"Even at that, he falsely claimed President Buhari and the Senate leadership endorsed him, prompting the Presidency and the Senate leadership to issue a disclaimer.

"APC had also said they didn't want any candidate with baggage. If you recall, the senator has a running battle with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and AMCON, not to talk of the fact that he's nearly 80 years old. We want a virile party; a party that will meet the expectations of young Nigerians," the chieftain declared.

A deadly drug cartel abandoned a dead body in a binbag with a twisted message to their enemies so they could "see how our d**k feels."

The human remains were found in the early hours of Tuesday morning (March 17) at the side of the San José del Llano bridge in the city of Apaseo El Grande, Mexico.

Images of the body show a bright green piece of cardboard with a message to the enemies of the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel placed around the head of the body written across it.

The translation of the message posted on Borderland Beat said: "You piece of sh*t b***h a** Jaliscas. This is so that you can see how our d**k feels here."

"Come on out to that armed confrontation you murderers of innocent civilians. The state of Guanajuato is a territory that belongs to the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel."

The news comes after experts claim that the brutal Jalisco New Generation Cartel has become a “greater force” than El Chapo’s criminal empire, and they are now sending threatening airborne messages.

Citizens from Teocaltiche, Jalisco, a western Mexican state fringing the Pacific Ocean, reported that a plane dropped flyers with a message from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) last month.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), led by Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, a former ally of Chapo, operates in at least 35 states across Mexico and Puerto Rico.

In July, authorities estimated the gang oversaw one-third of all drugs being transported from Mexico into the US.

In their aerial letters, that went out to the entire civil society of Teocaltiche, nearby Villa Hidalgo and the authorities, they namecheck Mario González, an alleged operator for the Sinaloa Cartel.

The letter reads: "You are hereby informed that this fight isn’t with you. But it is with the enemy that you have had among you for many years. Who have caused disappearances, extortions, and homicides in the region with the Sinaloa Cartel.

"Made up of Mario González and his mob, in conjunction with some corrupt authorities that have made all their crimes go unpunished.

"That is why the CJNG is cleaning up the region to eliminate all that scum that does so much damage to society, Mario González, along with all your scourges. Stop hiding behind the skirts of the government. Sincerely, CJNG."

Like what's wrong with people
I like to believe that people that are campaigning for APC are just clowns looking for a reaction.
But with what I'm seeing especially on nairaland I'm getting bothered.
This people have done nothing but bought pain to us
No electricity
The education sector is a total failure
The infrastructure ( even with the borrowing)
No accountability
No food
No human right

This government have more blood on their hands then any Democratic government in Nigeria history. Let's not forget how a man was arrested for supposedly using the same number as buhari daughter guess she didn't know that numbers are recycled or how buhari son is the only youth corpers serving in aso rock or maybe we should talk about how the first lady had to fly to dubia for her birthday because after living in Nigeria for a week was just a struggle for her or maybe we should talk about how our beloved president really loves UK and can not bare being in Nigeria for more than two days
Maybe we should talk about how our economy is totally ruining but APC has refused to admit failure. you know if there had simply withdraw support from buhari and distance theirselves from his many failure I won't be here typing this rant
Okay let's talk about tinubu a man that has turned a blind to the pains of Nigerians, a man that up till now wasn't even in Nigeria, a man that will go as far as support the devil himself just to be president or should we talk about osinbajo a well known fake pastor or maybe atiku a scammer.
This government has no results even after more than 7 years of power. Buhari will be remembered as a failure and I pray he is immediately arrested by efcc after his term
Fulani herdmen, corruption, poverty and insecurity all increased during his term
Before I go let's not forget that this government thinks Nigerian are stupid, they say whatever they like then praise their savior (buhari) in the process
In all my years I have never seen a government so out of touch with it's people

I don't care if the next president is from East or West, North or south, I just want a president that is present.

Tinubu and co craved buhari with all their power and might but couldn't say anything when their demigod is going astray in his maladministration.
May God help Nigeria �� when the incoming PDP administration come into full force in 2023.

Telecommunica-tions services providers under the aegis of the Association of Licensed Telecoms Operators of Nigeria have said a tariff review for telco services may happen if the rise in the price of diesel is sustained.

The Chairman, ALTON, Gbenga Adebayo, disclosed this to our correspondent in an interview.

According to him, the telecoms industry is one of the major consumers of diesel in the country.

The sector, he said, had already been impacted by the current hike in diesel prices and scarcity of the product.

He said, “It is already impacting us and very significantly so. We are one of the industries that have the highest consumption of diesel across the country.

“Our need is not just in the major cities; it is all across the country. Diesel is required in all the places that require services. We are already significantly impacted. And it is not just about the high costs, it is also about availability. Suppliers are beginning to find it difficult to supply the commodity because of scarcity.

“When they find, costs of haulage have gone up. The cost of procurement of the diesel itself has gone up significantly. We are actually in a very bad situation. And how this will play in end-user pricing requires us to follow the right channel, the regulatory procedure for conveying our complaint to the regulator.”



According to Adebayo, telcos will continue to ensure that there are no service disruptions in the nation. However, he added that there might be a need for a tariff review if the present diesel crisis persists.

He said, “The diesel situation is a problem at this time. We are doing all that we can to ensure the business continues as usual in all cases and other every circumstance. The assurance for the public is that there would not be a time of outage because of the current diesel crisis. What I cannot assure is that at some point there may not be a consideration for some form of tariff review.

“I cannot guarantee that it will not happen sometime in the near future. I cannot guarantee that. But as it stands today, I will reassure the public that there would be continuous service at all times.

“We will continue to solve the problem to the best of our ability. We certainly need to approach the government for some intervention at some point. We are where we are. All that we are doing at this time is to ensure there are no disruptions to service.”

According to a source in one of the telecoms companies in the nation, the operating environment for telcos is now tougher. The source added that the present crisis might cause service disruptions if it persists.

The source said, “For instance, we have about 20,000 base transceiver stations across the nation, and each one of them has two industrial generators.

“You can imagine what it must be costing to fuel two generators in over 20,000 places. It is a lot. As you are aware, we do not directly manage those stations anymore. But irrespective of who is managing it, the cost has definitely been impacted. Operating is more difficult now.

“In the long-term, this will cause service disruptions. We might have to renegotiate contracts with those helping us manage to the stations. As you know our call rates are regulated, meaning there is a ceiling and a floor. We cannot because of this change our call rates.”

The price of diesel has tilted towards N850/litre, and is continuing to increase daily. In January, diesel was N350 per litre in Lagos.
