I am Nigeria’s next president, says Kwankwaso

I am Nigeria’s next president, says Kwankwaso Rabiu Kwankwaso Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Kano State governor and PDP presidential aspirant, says he will “easily beat President Muhamadu Buhari” if given his party’s ticket to contest the presidential election in 2019. Kwankwaso, who spoke on Thursday in Jos, during a consultation visit to the North-Central state, said he has the ability to wrestle power from the APC. “I come from a state which has the highest number of voters that can sway an election in my favour. “If I pick the PDP ticket, I will be the next president of this nation. “I have the hunger to save Nigeria from its current troubles. I have my plan to make Nigeria a better country for all. “I have massive support from the North-West and will get even more supporters if given the ticket,” he said. The aspirant promised to run an all-inclusive government, a leadership virtue he accused the APC administration of lacking. “A key solution to Nigeria’s problems is a participatory government that will ward off mutual suspicion and distrust. It will address the gap in communication which is largely responsible for farmer/herder clashes, religious violence and ethnic crisis in the country,” he said. (NAN)

Osun rerun is open robbery – PDP

Femi Makinde, Osogbo The Peoples Democratic Party has described the rerun election held in Osun State as the biggest electoral robbery ever witnessed in the history of the state. The Chairman of the PDP in Osun State, Mr Soji Adagunodo, said this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Thursday. Adagunodo said the alleged brazen electoral fraud would be resisted by the party, saying the stolen mandate would be resisted in court. He said the election was openly rigged by the All Progressives Congress with the support of security personnel in broad daylight, Adagunodo said, “Thousands of eligible voters were chased away from their homes in Orolu, Ife North and Ife South Local Government Areas in the early hours of today. “Scores of our supporters in those local governments were shot and stabbed on their way to polling centres and in the full glare of security men. Hundreds of people holding PVCs from other polling units were accredited and allowed to vote in Osogbo and Ife South Local Governments. “PDP agent in Olode was axed and abducted at 7am today. Media men and election observers were denied access in several polling units. By the time access was granted to journalists about 11am, ballot boxes had been stuffed by APC agents acting in connivance with INEC officials.” The PDP chairman said it was regrettable that election in seven polling units could not be freely and fairly conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission. He said, “We reject any returns of results from this sham and call on the INEC authorities in Abuja to direct that the so-called supplementary election result collation be put on hold now. “We equally invite leaders of thought in Nigeria and the International community to rise up now to rescue Nigeria’s democracy from being ruined. “We equally call on all members and supporters of our party to resist any attempt to foist concocted election results on the people of Osun using all legal means at their disposal.” Sources : Punch

The comedian, 81, was sentenced on Tuesday after his April conviction for having drugged and sexually assaulted Andrea Constand, a former Temple University women's basketball administrator, in 2004. See inside the prison where Bill Cosby is expected to serve his sentence (photos) Cosby is expected to serve out his sentence at SCI Phoenix in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. The prison is brand new, and said to be state of the art. SCI Phoenix is a maximum security, 3,830-bed, handicap-accessible, state-of-the-art prison which began operating earlier this year. The $400million prison is staffed by 1,200 full-time employees and features 164 acreage inside its double ring of razor wire fences and a 1.5mile perimeter.
