I wrote the first part of this series on Sunday, March 30, 2014. On Monday, March 31, 2014, THISDAY published a lead story alleging that a Muslim-Muslim ticket was being planned by the All Progressive Congress, APC. According to the paper, General Buhari (rtd) is proposed to be the presidential candidate, while Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, would be the Vice Presidential candidate. I smiled; because it was no news to me. First, I have been informed about the development a few days before. One of the two had visited someone in Abuja; and, he made the point that ‘ANYBODY CAN DEFEAT JONATHAN’ [capitals mine]. And on that basis, it was decided that A Muslim-Muslim ticket was safe – after all Christians voted overwhelmingly for the Abiola-Kingibe ticket. Christians, again, failed to protest, vigorously, the Buhari-Idiagbon military leadership – both of which were Muslim-Muslim teams. I had smiled when this was mentioned to me – because I expected it. Why? Let me explain. But, first, permit me to make two pertinent comments.

Even if it is sold, the person who buys it would still “waste it” by using it.

It took a long time. For the kind of person that I am, particularly in my own kind of business and also, in her own kind of profession, she needed closure and a lot more to be offered to her. Given my kind of business, you don’t blame her if she’s skeptical because of the exposure that comes with it. I think sincerity of purpose was one of those reasons that made her to accept my proposal.

The key points of my manifesto are to revolutionalize employment generation in Delta State, embark on societal development, growth, ensure peace and justice. To achieve this, there is the need to, first and foremost, embark on industrialization across the state; and ensure that these industries are located in the areas where raw materials are produced.

Our aim is to strengthen institutions. We want to entrench these institutions and make them viable. We are confident that when the people of Osun State give Aregbesola another four years, he would do more to strengthen some of these landmark achievements.

Prof. Jega should know that he should write his name in gold. He is one man who has proven that he is a comrade. I want him to live up to his name as a comrade and one thing I like in him which we don’t want to hear again is that he admits mistakes. The Anambra election was one that he admitted the failure of INEC.

Voluptuous beauty, half-Nigerian, half-Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Okoro, isn’t exactly the kind of damsel you would think is in distress. She has nothing on her to cut that image and it doesn’t appear her career is in danger either.
