The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has said only Nigerians are in the position to say why the party was rejected at the poll during the last general elections.

It said the rejection of the party was still a surprise despite the achievements it claimed the party recorded in the last 16 years, during which it was in control of the Federal Government.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated this at a press briefing in Abuja on Monday.

He was speaking on the 17th anniversary of the formation of the former ruling party.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has met with some members of his cabinet in a bid to defend his integrity.

He was said to have told the former ministers that he was “not a thief in office as being portrayed”.

He explained how he met President Muhammadu Buhari for 20 minutes on two issues.

They are: advising Buhari against subjecting his person and former cabinet members to “media trial” on alleged corruption and; why the Election Petition Tribunals in Rivers and Akwa Ibom should be allowed to work unhindered.

He deplored what he called the involvement of the Department of State Security Service(DSS) on election-related matters in the two states.

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, said Monday that he planned mining and power generation projects in investment-starved Zimbabwe as well as to set up a large cement factory.

Dangote met with President Robert Mugabe in Harare in a rare sign of possible foreign investment for Zimbabwe, which has been in economic decline for more than a decade.

“We had a very, very good meeting with the president and I told him that we have already decided to invest in three areas, one is power, second one is cement and third one is coal,” Dangote told journalists.

“We have already made up our minds to invest and so we are here and we will invest.”

A Church service was reportedly disrupted by four masquerades who flogged the pastors and the worshipers in Epinmi Akoko area of Ondo state.

One of the masquerades, Tunde Arohunmolase was however arrested while others fled after flogging the pastors and the worshipers.

Police source said that the masquerades invade the Christ Apostolic Church in the town while the service was on-going and abruptly ended it.

Two of the Pastors were reportedly injured by the time the masquerades left the church premises.

Following perceived lopsided appointments alleged to have been skewed in favour of the Northerners by President Muhammadu Buhari since assumption of office, Governor Ayodele Fayose has branded him as being too pro-north, an action he described as unpatriotic and wicked.

Fayose stated that the steps taken by the president since May 29, 2015, had tainted Buhari as an ethnic and tribal jingoist, which he said is inimical to the unity of Nigeria.

The governor, who decried what he called President Buhari’s “Nothernisation of Nigeria,” said “appointments made by the President so far negate the principle of federal character and it appears the unity in diversity of Nigeria is being taken for granted by the President.”

Men of the Edo State Police Command have arrested the Managing Director of the Ofure Royal Medical Centre located at Upper Uwa Street, Benin City, Dr. Omokhomion Kingsley, for allegedly conducting abortion at his clinic.

Dr. Omokhomion was apprehended by police officers from the Zonal Criminal Investigation Bureau, Zone 5’ police headquarters, Benin City, following complaint that a woman’s pregnancy was terminated.

It was learnt that police operatives brought a patient disguised as a pregnant woman demanding to abort her pregnancy.

The doctor alongside four nurses were arrested while attempting to terminate the pregnancy.

Whoever knew Cynthia Morgan and Burna Boy had a thing?

Cynthia Morgan shared the photo above with the two of them sharing a kiss with the caption: "Let’s just be honest! Let’s just be real!".

Besides, didn't the singer say she has no interest in ever dating an entertainer?

I think until either of them can confirm our suspicion, it is best to assume it is one of their usual publicity stunts or probably a scene from an up coming music video.

Morgan who posted the photo has since deleted it from her Instagram page.

According to our correspondent, President Muhammadu Buhari has been handed shocking documents relating to the top looters of Nigerian treasury by the United States of America. According to reports, the document implicates top aides and ministers of the former president, Goodluck Jonathan.

African leaders as well as other eminent Nigerians have been pleading with Buhari to give a soft-landing to the the indicted pioneers of the past administration and the president has agreed with their pleas on the condition that the looted funds will be returned to the state treasury in order to institute his development plans for the country.

It was with a view to avoiding what a very credible source described as a public embarrassment for the former leader, that Jonathan visited Buhari earlier in the month to beg for his understanding.

There was drama in Ekiti state this morning as Governor Ayodele Fayose lurked-around the state secretariat to fish-out perpetual late comers.

Indiana: This may look like an ordinary wedding with a beautiful bride in a white dress and hundreds of well wishers, but there is one glaring absence - the groom.

For Jessica Hayes was not in church to marry any ordinary man, but Jesus Christ himself.

The 38-year-old had chosen to be a consecrated virgin, one of only 3,000 Catholics in the entire world who have chosen that path.

There were indications on Saturday that President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress had begun moves to compensate the South-East for not getting any appointments so far in the current administration.

By now, I thought I would have been married. I had always thought I would have a child before the age of 30. That fantasy did not become a reality because I wanted to strengthen my brand. I wanted to be sure that I was on the right path career-wise because as a kid, you need to crawl before you can walk and eventually run.

Tattoo is often regarded as a fashion statement, which has largely been embraced my some and strongly despised by some others. Be that as it may, it is simply defined as a picture or design that is marked or drawn on a person’s skin by making small holes in the skin with a needle and filling them with coloured ink.
