I'm still in PDP, Ekweremadu Says


Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu’s political future is in the hands of God and so far, he is happy with how far he has gone.

So, for the rumours that he had suddenly become unhappy in the PDP, the Enugu politician has assured his supporters and constituents that he is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In fairness to Ekweremadu’s supporters, the story of his supposed defection seemed quite believable as it was connected to the preference of Peter Obi over him as PDP’s presidential running mate.

They said that former Anambra Governor being named by PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar as his running mate for the 2019 elections left Ekweremadu feeling unappreciated.

But the Deputy Senate President has quickly quashed the idea on his Facebook page

He wrote: “I am presently out of the country on a pre-scheduled engagement.

“In the past 24 hours, I have been inundated with calls from friends and political associates seeking clarification on the rumours of my departure from the PDP, which has dominated the media.

“Let it be known that my path in politics is in the hands of the Almighty God, who has indeed been very faithful and gracious to me. I’m very grateful to God for this.”

On leaving PDP, he stated, “My vision in politics is a system that works for everybody, a social and political environment where everybody, every section, and every tribe not only counts, but is also seen to count.

“As leaders, we must be mindful of this, for any system built on anything less will not endure.

“I am grateful to you - members of my family, my friends, political associates, and admirers across Nigeria and beyond - for your uncommon concern. I am indeed humbled by your kind words of solidarity and support.

“Please, rest assured that I am still in the PDP.”

Please share the story.

academic staff union of polythecnics to begin nationwide strike by december 12

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has declared that it would begin an indefinite strike starting from December 12, 2018. The polytechnic lecturers will join their university colleagues who have been on strike since November 4th to press home their demands with the Federal Government. The National President of ASUP, Usman Dutse, in a chat with Premium Times said the federal government had failed to meet the demands of the polytechnic lecturers. Prior to this impending strike, the union had on October 2 issued a 21-day ultimatum to the government before it extended it to November.

This further emphasises the resolution of the 93rd National Executive Council meeting reached at the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos last week.

Meet the worlds youngest football player. Not messi nor ronaldo

When you talk of the world’s richest footballers your thoughts immediately deflect to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo , Lionel Messi and Neymar but that’s not correct 😲😲😲 It’s no surprise that  Cristiano Ronaldo  and  Lionel Messi  top the charts given they both earn in excess of  £350,000-per-week , though  Messi  recently signed a new contract worth  £500,000-per-week .

According to the Mirror, the world’s richest football player is actually Leicester City youngster  Faiq Bolkiah , nephew of the  Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah .

student at  Florida Atlantic University  in  Boca Raton, Florida,  was reportedly arrested last week after he allegedly took to social media and threatened to kill his professor for scheduling an early morning exam. Florida's WPLG-TV reported that FAU police traced the account to  Rafael Decomas , 20, a student at the school, who made the threat but the tweet has since been deleted.  It was revealed that Decomas allegedly admitted he was "upset" that his data structure professor scheduled the final for 7 a.m., and his commute from Riviera Beach meant he would have to wake up at 5 a.m. According to a Police report, Decomas stated that he did not intend to harm anyone and that the post was tweeted out of frustration.
