PDP: Embattled Sheriff and his traducers
Senator Ali Modu Sheriff pulled a masterstroke on Monday. He arrived the National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) early in the morning, accompanied by loyalists, including a former National Secretary of the party, Professor Wale Oladipo; and a former Vice Chairman, Dr Cairo Ojuogboh. After several hours of delay and long minutes of telephone conversation between him and the authorities in the security services, Sheriff and his group gained entrance into the National Secretariat. This action came barely two weeks after the Caretaker Committee of the PDP, set up at its National Convention in Port-Harcourt, and headed by a former governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi, in an elaborate ceremony, had taken over the affairs of the opposition party. It marked a remarkable escalation of the leadership crisis that had engulfed the PDP since it lost power last year.

When the only reason you stay with a drunk is the money
Ola, Dupe’s husband, now rich – beyond their wildest dreams, has alcohol as his albatross. She doesn’t always know what type of rabbit he’ll pull out of his full magic hat of embarrassments when he’s drunk. The last I witnessed was early this year when the family had a belated New Year party. As the guests left, well fed and merrily tipsy, Ola asked his house guests and a couple of us to finish things off at a night club near the house. I would rather have preferred to go home and sleep off a throbbing headache, but Dupe’s pleading eyes made me shrug and I left with the group. Ola was a bit tanked up by now. His speech was slurred but the problem with him is that he doesn’t know when he’s had enough booze.
