The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, on Friday lashed out again at the governors of Imo and Ogun states, Rochas Okorocha and Ibukunle Amosun. This came barely 24 hours after the two governors renewed their attacks on the APC chairman. While Okorocha claimed on Thursday that the fortunes of the APC had witnessed a downturn since Oshiomhole took over as national chairman, Amosun alleged that the party chairman and his cohorts were working towards handing over Ogun to “a gang of expansionists.” In an apparent response to the two governors, Oshiomhole described their personal attacks on his person as a direct result of their failure to foist undemocratic processes on the party. Specifically, he described governor Okorocha as “an embarrassment” to the APC with his failed attempt to elicit APC’s support to help him build “a political dynasty” as well as his needless personal feud with the institution of the church in his state. Oshiomhole s

We were his rock. My mother used to tell me bed time stories about all the scars on her. My step mum, Najite was the first person the soldiers saw in Kalakuta, she was swimming; they picked her up by her head from the pool and broke her neck! My mother had a broken bayonet stitched into her and she couldn’t walk for 18-months. The amount of state sanctioned violence I have seen in my life as a child.

An Enugu based prophet, Anthony Nwoko, has declared that there will be no election in 2019, coming hard on the leading presidential candidates, President Muhammadu Buhari and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, saying that they are not the solution to Nigeria's problems. Although, the prophet did not spare the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and that of the Biafra Independent Movement, (BIM), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, claiming that they are “playboys.” Briefing newsmen in Enugu on Tuesday, the prophet declared that he was the ordained messiah.

He said “both Atiku and Buhari are going, people are dying and they are talking of winning election in 2019. “I want to tell Atiku and Buhari that they should pack and go.

The PDP made this known in reaction to the claim that the PDP candidate for 2019 presidential election will not win the election no matter how hard he and his party work at it. It said that Tinubu, as an elder, should “not reduce his pedigree” by engaging in what it called indecorous utterances which it said had become the trademark APC.
