Igbo presidency will not be realistic under PDP – APC spokesman

The South-East spokesman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, has called on Ndigbo to embrace the party, describing it as the fastest vehicle for the actualization of president of Igbo extraction in the nearest future.

Okechukwu, who stated this during a campaign rally held at Eke in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, stated that under the PDP, it would be practically impossible for Ndigbo to produce president or vice president in 2015.

He based his arguement on the ground that President Goodluck Jonathan is from the Southern part of the country and as such would not even chose a Vice from the South-East.

“Secondly, for 2019, it will be wishful thinking to believe that PDP will nominate an Igbo, because the rotation convention is predicated on North vs South.

“Therefore a careful analysis gazettes that APC presents Ndigbo the fastest vehicle to become president or vice president in 2015 or 2019″, he stated.

Mr Okechukwu advised Ndigbo to vote for Senator Chris Ngige as governor of Anambra State.
He said, “this paradigm shift in voting will strengthen Ndigbo’s position to bargain in APC.

“Yorubas are not idiots or unreasonable, they will concede for they had produced president for 8 years since the return of democracy in 1999.

“Their argument has been that Ndigbo voters are stuck in PDP. If we have two leading Igbo states – Imo and Anambra nobody can dispute our resolve to leave the tattered PDP umbrella”.

“I love Falcao and Cavani” – Wenger

Arsene Wenger has reserved praise for strikers Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain) and Radamel Falcao (Monaco) and hailed them as two of the best in the world. However, the Arsenal manager feels Falcao is slightly better in front of goal, although Cavani is more mobile. The two strikers will come face to face this weekend, in a keenly anticipated Ligue 1 clash. “I believe it’s very difficult to make a difference because for me they are very similar. They have an animal aspect inside of them. Both of them are animals,” Wenger told Bein Sport. “I think Cavani is a bit more mobile, and makes more runs off the ball, and Falcao is a bit more of a box player, a bit more of a killer than Cavani. “But both of them, I love. And honestly, not to protect one or the other, but it’s very difficult to make a difference between the two.” Cavani has scored twice in the French league this season, since his summer move from Napoli, while Falcao has four

The battle between the Federal Government and the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has attained a new intensity following a 7-day ultimatum issued by the Presidency. Some of the striking lecturers have remained adamant despite the obvious waning in the resolve of their members evidenced by the withdrawing of some universities from the strike. The academic body has taken things even further by warning parents not to allow their wards resume in schools to avoid risking the lives of their children.
