At the policy level, the President reconstituted the Presidential Action Committee on Power, with himself as chairman and Vice-President Sambo as his deputy. Other critical memberships include Secretary to the Federal Government, Ministers of Power, Finance & Petroleum as well as selected captains of industry. The records show the President has not missed any of the Committee’s meetings. The implementation process of the Power Sector Road-Map is ably managed by a Presidential Task Force of high-grade professionals.

A former House of Representatives member, representing Ethiope constituency, Delta State, Mr. Solomon Edoja, has urged Urhobo political class in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to establish a contract of service with the candidates vying for positions on the platform of the party.

As you are reading this only four of the sixteen teams that dreamt of dethroning Nigeria as Africa Nations Cup Champions are still left standing.
For twelve others the dream has ended. Hopes dashed aspirations cut short.

The Flying Eagles have emerged champions of the Super 6 invitational tournament at the Abuja National Stadium.

Despite having their winning run ended by the U-23 team, who held them to a thrilling 3-3 draw yesterday, the African Youth Championship-bound Flying Eagles side, still had enough points to emerge tops of the pack.

THE Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria states with such exactitude and society insists with much doggedness that, it is cardinally imperative for public office holders, professionals and officers at all levels to take an oath of office. This is to expurgate unpatriotic conduct and the underpinnings of corruption against the people, the state and the ethics of their calling etc. The oath of office is also to ensure that there is integrity, honesty and transparency in leadership.

verton winger Christian Atsu scored twice as Ghana booked their place in the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations by beating Guinea 3-0.

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos state, Jimi Agbaje has claimed that buses introduced by Lagos Bus Rapid Transit System (BRT) are becoming another ‘molue’ buses as a result of poor implementation by the state government.

WE have landed in the magic month of February. All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters from the South West say February 14th, the day of the presidential election which is also the traditional Valentine’s Day is, FeBuhari. It means they are going to show love to the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu (or is it Mohamed?) Buhari with their votes. But supporters of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), enthusiasts of President Goodluck Jonathan, the flag bearer of the PDP and antagonists of Buhari say February 14th is Fail Buhari, because on that day they will deny him his ambition to make a second coming, having had sour a taste of him 31 years ago.

I read some of the responses to my article, “Buhari vs Jonathan: Beyond the Election”, and I want to thank everyone who has contributed to the debate. I am glad that the debate has finally taken off. I have decided, for the record, to re-enter the debate if only to set some records straight and hopefully elevate the debate further. Whom do I respond to? First, let me thank Gov Kayode Fayemi for his very mature and professional response on behalf of the APC. It forms a great basis for deepening the conversation. Pat Utomi, Oby Ezekwesili, Iyabo Obasanjo, and thousands of other patriotic Nigerians have raised the content of the debate. Femi Fani-Kayode made me laugh, as usual. The Gov. Jang faction of the Governors’ Forum played the usual politics, although I know what most of them think privately. Who else? Oh, Peter Obi. Well, since he can’t write and designated Valentine as usual to write for him (who never disputed the NBS statistics that Obi broke world record in the pauperization of Anambra people but instead focused on lies and abuses) I won’t dignify him with a response here. His third class performance in Anambra will be the subject of a comprehensive article later.
