she had introduced to her neighbor friend.

So on this fateful day, our sugar daddy owner had gone to confront her friend, only for her neighbor friend to insult sugar daddy owner's mother, calling her an ashawo.

BlackBerry hasn't thrown in the towel yet.- Unveils Z30 Smartphone With 5-inch display

The company on Wednesday introduced the BlackBerry Z30, a new model that features a 5-inch display, stereo speakers, a bigger battery, and the latest version of its BlackBerry 10 operating system.

The Z30, which was previously known as the BlackBerry A10 when it was in development, and which CEO Thorsten Heins has alluded to, is the company's newest flagship smartphone, occupying the tier above the Z10 and Q10.

The Z30 comes as BlackBerry is actively "exploring strategic alternatives," which is business-speak for looking for a buyer. Speculation has ranged from partnerships and joint ventures to the company getting broken up into pieces that would be more palatable for purchase.

Arizona Expands Ban Denying Driver's Licenses To Immigrants

PHOENIX (Reuters) - Arizona, long at odds with President Barack Obama's administration over immigration reform, is expanding a ban on giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants to include all those who have been granted relief from deportation, in a move that rights advocates criticized as "vindictive."

The state's Republican governor, Jan Brewer, announced a year ago that Arizona would deny licenses to young illegal immigrants granted a deportation reprieve under a federal program approved as Obama pushed for a broader immigration overhaul.

Brewer argued at the time that deferral of deportation did not give the migrants lawful status or entitle them to public benefits such as driver's licenses.

The expansion of Arizona's bar on licenses was announced in a document filed with the U.S. District Court in Phoenix on Tuesday by lawyers for Brewer and two state transportation department officials embroiled in a lawsuit over the issue.

A Nigerian woman tearfully prayed and recited Koranic verses as she won a beauty pageant exclusively for Muslim women in the Indonesian capital Wednesday, a riposte to the Miss World contest that has sparked hardline anger.

The 20 finalists, who were all required to wear headscarves, put on a glittering show for the final of Muslimah World, strolling up and down a catwalk in elaborately embroidered dresses and stilettos.

But the contestants from six countries were covered from head to foot, and as well as beauty they were judged on how well they recited Koranic verses and their views on Islam in the modern world.

After a show in front of an audience of mainly religious scholars and devout Muslims, a panel of judges picked Obabiyi Aishah Ajibola from Nigeria as the winner.

While the event in a Jakarta shopping mall paled in comparison to Miss World on the resort island of Bali, in which scores of contestants are competing, Ajibola was nevertheless overwhelmed.

A few minutes ago, rapper Olamide via his instagram page shared the photo above with the caption “Suffering from success … Frosh ! … Abj show time. Frosh !”

We see his Versace shades, Gold necklace and polo.

All these and his fast rise in the music industry sure add up to his success story.

Funke Akindele And Other Celebrities At Kate Henshaw's 'The World Of An Actress - My Story' Photo Book Launch (PHOTOS)

Actress and ambassadress Funke Akindele looks extremely gorgeous at her colleague and good friend, Kate Henshaw's memoir 'The World of an Actress - My Story' photo book launch, sold for N25, 000, yesterday Tuesday 17th at the Muson Center, Onikan. Also in attendance were Ireti Doyle, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Ali Baba, Julius Agwu, Basorge Tariah Jnr, Rita Dominic, Adesuwa Onyenokwe, Michelle Dede, Susan Peters and Chidi Mokeme among others.

Seems like a miscarriage of justice – but lovers face fines for kissing on Austria’s trains.

The £42 penalties were brought in to prevent “discourteous behaviour” after moans that amorous passengers were losing track of common decency.

Conductors – who also have the power to kick offending couples off the train – will also pounce if they catch you eating food deemed too smelly.

But if you weren’t a local, how would you know that such ludicrous laws applied?

Unsuspecting people fall foul of red-tape, dotty directives and bizarre bans all over the world.

In fact, there should be a law against this sort of thing...

SKY’S THE LIMIT

A law in Florida bans single, divorced or widowed women from doing a parachute jump on a Sunday.

Sky-diving women face a fine or even jail for defying the barmy rule.

Diane Krish-Veeramany, 30, went into labour last Thursday, a week before her due date, and three of her colleagues helped deliver the baby, called Jonah.

After giving birth she was taken by paramedics to Queen's Hospital in Romford, Essex, before both she and her son were allowed home.

Mrs Krish-Veeramany, 30, a teacher at Manford Primary School in Chigwell, East London, had attended a morning meeting but asked to go home shortly afterwards as she was feeling unwell.

She said: "I texted my husband to come and get me but my colleagues asked if I wanted an ambulance.

"I said 'I'll just go home.' I just didn't think it would be a contraction as it didn't feel like one."

But it soon became clear she was going into labour, and three teaching assistants, Dita Gojnovci, Chris Sword and Sam Mustafa, stepped in to help.

Eva Faith was born on September 8 with two front teeth in her lower gum. Her mother, Vicki Griffiths, 26, said she had been planning to breastfeed but that she changed her mind when she saw the teeth

Initially, nobody realised and it was only when Mrs Griffiths went to have a bath after giving birth that her husband Steven spotted the teeth in his daughter’s lower jaw.

Mrs Griffiths, a 26-year-old child minder, said: ‘When I came back into the room Steven said, “she’s got teeth, you know!” and then we both burst out laughing.

‘We were in shock, and so were the midwives.

‘She had her mouth closed to begin with, so we didn’t notice. It was quite bizarre to see them.’

She added: ‘I had been planning to breastfeed, but when I saw Eva’s teeth I was put off. I don’t think anybody could blame me!’

Mr and Mrs Griffiths now worry that Eva will soon start sprouting more teeth before she is old enough to have Calpol or other children’s medicine.

Rod Daily, left, and his girlfriend, Cameron Bay, both adult film performers who became infected with HIV while working in the adult industry, hold hands as they take questions from the media during a news conference

Two of the porn actors recently diagnosed HIV-Positive used an emotional press conference today to call on the industry to require all performers to use condoms and criticized the length of time between testing - as a third performer believed to be infected with the virus came forward publicly.

Actors Cameron Bay and her boyfriend Rod Daily spoke at an event in Hollywood organized by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and said that they learned days apart last month that they were infected as the industry reels from the news that up to four different actors could have the deadly disease.

Fighting back tears, the pair said that the recent outbreak of HIV infections proves the industry wrong when they say testing performers for the virus and other sexually transmitted diseases every 14 days is sufficient.

Gruesome: This was the sight that confronted Duke's owners when they came home

A once-powerful Siberian husky breathes its last breaths as it lies helplessly in the death grip of a 38-pound python after the serpent slithered into a Florida family's backyard and coiled around its neck.

Duke's owners called emergency services just after 10pm when they saw the 10-foot African rock python coiled around their 60-pound pet's neck on August 30.

But within five minutes, he was dead.

The news comes after a rock python that had escaped from a Canadian pet store killed two sleeping boys, Noah and Connor Barthes, last month.

It is not known when the python slid into the family's backyard, in an area southeast of Tamiami Trail and Krome Avenue in Miami where a colony of snakes had been breeding.

The homeowner, who refused to give her name, told CBS Miami her son tried to kill the snake.

'He tried to take it [the snake] away from his [Duke's] neck with his hands, his bare hands,' she said.

'It was so strong, he couldn't do it. He ran out inside, he got gardening scissors. He tried to cut it off. It didn't work.'

The woman said she had never seen anything like it in 10 years of living in the area near the Everglades.

'Be careful, especially with young kids, because something that big can kill a kid,' she said.

WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS IMAGES SOME MAY FIND DISTRESSING

It’s no secret that men watch more pòrn than women – for women to admit to experiencing pleasure in watching pòrnography means having to overcome the stereotypes about female sèxuality: generations of women have been told that pòrn is evil, that it exploits, objectifies and degrades women, and that any woman who enjoys pòrn is a betrayer of the female gender.

While there are still plenty of women who feel uncomfortable with pòrn, there are also plenty of women who beg to disagree and look at pòrn as a form of erotic escapism that should not be considered such a big deal.

It’s a prejudice to say that women don’t like pòrn, it’s more correct to assume that women don’t enjoy the mainstream pòrn that is made to appeal to male viewers.

However, with the recent emergence of pòrn sites that is geared towards females, pòrn that is made by and for women that focuses on female pleasure, I hope this imbalance is about to change because women need to realize all the benefits that pòrn watching can have on their lives.

I’m a huge pòrn advocate, in fact, I religiously watch pòrn every day – yes, I actually carve out time in my daily schedule to dedicate to pòrn. Why? Not only has it been great for my sèx life, but it’s also made me more aware of my sèxuality.

The State Security Service has arrested a father of 10, Saturday Dewakei, who allegedly kidnapped Abubakar Adamu, the five-year-old son of his neighbour and killed him when his demand for a N5m ransom was not met.

Dewakei, 43, was said to have entered his neighbour’s room at Aso ‘C’ Gbagalape, Mararaba area of Abuja through the ceiling on April 19, 2013 and abducted Adamu while he was asleep.

The SSS tendered the remains of the victim on Wednesday, which were mainly bones, including his ribs, femur, dental cavity and a locally-made pistol that was recovered from the suspect.

Parading the suspect in Abuja on Wednesday, the SSS Deputy Director, Operations, FCT Command, Ibrahim Halilu, explained that Dewakei killed the boy in an uncompleted building and dumped his body in a water-filled soakaway when the ransom he demanded was not paid.

He stated that the victim’s father, identified as Isah, paid Dewakei N100,000, adding that the suspect murdered Adamu because he was dissatisfied with the amount.

The Presidency on Wednesday took a swipe at the Abubakar Baraje faction of the Peoples Democratic Party for referring to President Goodluck Jonathan’s purported 2015 ambition as a “third term from the back door.”

The Presidency said the New PDP’s position was based on ignorance and therefore advised Baraje to consult his lawyers in order to understand what the 1999 Constitution says on the tenure of a President.

It also stated that the Baraje faction’s visit to the National Assembly showed that it was not ready for peace.

Baraje, during a visit to the Senate President, Senator David Mark, on Tuesday, said that Jonathan wanted a third term from back door.

The factional chairman, who was accompanied on the visit by the seven governors in the New PDP, had demanded “the reversal of the dissolution of the party’s executives in Rivers and Adamawa states; conduct of a fresh convention of the party; removal of Dr. Bamanga Tukur as the national chairman of the PDP; and total objection to third term for President Jonathan from the back door.”

Virgins

A non-governmental organisation, VirginsBride Network, unveiled about 150 maidens on Friday in Lagos to encourage the virtue of sexual purity among females in the country.

The girls, who were dressed in white gowns as evidence of their chastity, also took a pledge to remain undefiled till marriage.

Parents were encouraged to safeguard their daughters from corrupting influences.

Convener of the event, Mrs. Nkechi Odebiyi, told the gathering that the girls were selected based on their status as virgins. She said the project, which was in its fifth year, had influenced more young females to see virginity as a virtue.

She said, “There is no religion that supports sex before marriage. I wish I had that privilege; it was a virtue I lost early in life. I want every maiden to carry herself with pride. When you are a virgin, you are not afraid of disease, unwanted pregnancy, or abortion and your husband will respect you.”

Cameroonian soccer champion Samuel Eto, who is currently signed to Chelsea is married to Ivorian beauty queen Georgette. Georgette, the CIV born wife of star footballer, Samuel Eto’o was recently photographed sunbathing in France unclad..like she was stack unclad. Is this right for a married woman? CAUTION! Viewer(s) discretion advised! As some may find photos objectionable. (18+ Only)

It’s no joke or myth that twins will always share a bond, and the very bond which is shared by identical twins, Taiwo and Kehinde Babaagba, is strengthened as they graduate from the Redeemer’s University, Mowe, Ogun State, with First Class degrees!

The two awesome twin sisters, Named Taiwo Babaagba and Kehinde Babaagba, been born before the coming of the Scottish missionary, Mary Slessor, in the 19th century, they were very likely to have been killed at infancy.
Reason: they would have been associated with ill omen and sacrificed to the gods.
Little wonder, the submissions of a visitor and an educationist, Dr. Ekanem Etuk, on the sidelines of the Redeemer’s University convocation, where the twins shone brilliantly like stars, aptly captured the place of Slessor in Nigerian history.

Six Male Billionaires Decides What 300 Million People Watched on TV, Saw In Movie Theaters, Heard On The Radio, And Read In Every Major Newspaper?

What if six male billionaires decided what 300 million people watched on TV, saw in movie theaters, heard on the radio, and read in every major newspaper?
What if those six men, including the country's biggest defense contractor, chose which projects got green-lighted and which actors were cast?
Some would call it an Orwellian nightmare, but artists and thousands of other U.S. citizens call it reality. More precisely, it's called media consolidation: the popular practice of international corporations monopolizing media outlets such as TV stations, movie studios, and newspapers.
As it stands, six companies own 90 percent of the media holdings in the United States:
1. Viacom, which owns Paramount, CBS, MTV Networks, and DreamWorks;
2. Disney, whose subsidiaries include ABC, Miramax, Pixar, Touchstone, Walt Disney Studios, and Walt Disney Theatrical;
3. Time Warner, parent company of Warner Bros., HBO, half of the CW (co-owned with CBS Corp.), CNN, and AOL;
4. General Electric, which owns NBC Universal;
5. Bertelsmann, whose holdings include Sony and BMG Music Publishing;
6. News Corp., owner of 20th Century Fox, Fox Broadcasting, MyNetworkTV, FX Networks, and MySpace.

The men at the helm of those corporations are, respectively, Sumner Redstone, Robert Iger, Richard Parsons, Jeffrey R. Immelt, Carl Bertelsmann, and Rupert Murdoch. http://www.backstage.com/.../

Human Eaters In Lagos Attacked By Angry Mob

There was drama yesterday when an angry mob stri*ped unclad two men, Alaba Abiodun and Samuel, who were allegedly eating human flesh,but they were lucky as the timely arrival of policemen who saved them from being set ablaze.

This is how PM news reported the incident:

Earlier, a passer-by along the rail line in Ikeja saw three men in tattered dresses. One of them was making a call and one eating a meat suspected to be human flesh.

The passer-by raised an alarm that attracted the mob which instantly pounced on the two suspect human part eaters. But the one making the phone call managed to escape.

Their problem was compounded when the mob moved to their hideout behind the Ikeja Local Government Secretariat fence and found a cutlass, knife, charms and meat with fat which the mob suspected to be human flesh.

Washington Naval Yard gunman Aaron Alexis began treatment for serious mental illness in August as friends of the shooter today revealed he was devastated last year when a Thai girlfriend left him broken-hearted.

According to anonymous law enforcement officials, Alexis, 34, sought treatment from the Veterans Administration for paranoia, insomnia and possible schizophrenia just one month before his shooting rampage which claimed the lives of 12 people on Monday.

Prior to this, Alexis visited Thailand in 2012 where he spent his time frequenting massage parlors and was crushed when a girl he liked rejected his offer to come and live with him in the United States because the woman 'didn't like black people.'

The attack occurred less than two months after 20 soldiers were killed by militants in the same area.

At least 40 Nigerian soldiers were killed and 65 others went missing in a deadly ambush by suspected members of the extremist group, Boko Haram, in the sect’s stronghold in Borno state, multiple defence sources have told PREMIUM TIMES.

Army authorities are miffed by the incident, and have ordered an investigation into the suspected operation blunder that gave the militants such an upper hand. The commanding officer of the unit that carried out the operation has now been removed from his post, officials say.

The casualty, one of the heaviest for the military in its campaign against the militant group in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, occurred along the Baga –Maiduguri road on Friday, September 13, in what our sources said was a classic case operational and communication failure.

Upright again: The recovery of the ship Costa Concordia shipwreck was successfully completed early this morning off the island of Giglio

These dramatic images shed new light on the biggest ever salvage operation of a passenger ship - an epic effort that took 19 hours.

The satellite photographs were released as salvagers declared the unprecedented operation a success and the hunt for the last two missing Costa Concordia passengers got underway.

Officials believe the bodies of waiter Russel Rebello and passenger Maria Grazia Trecarichi could be found in a lifeboat beneath the ship’s hull.

It was hoped that their remains would become visible as the complex system of cables and hydraulics hauled the vessel - on which 32 lives were lost - from its side.

EFCC arrests four suspects for alleged N2.05b fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) announced yesterday a major breakthrough in its anti-fraud battle.

Four suspects, including two bureau de change operators – Salihu Liman Mahmoud and Dan Asabe Ibrahim – have been arrested for alleged N2.05billion fraud.

The other suspects are two students of the University of Jos (UNIJOS) – Isaiah Friday and Azzaior Samuel.

According to the EFCC, the suspects invaded Union Bank’s database and manipulated it to steal N2.05billon.

The commission said it recovered N475.3million from the suspects.

Other items recovered include furniture worth N10 million from Mahmoud’s one-bedroom apartment in Yaba, Lagos Mainland; four vehicles; landed properties in Kano and Kaduna and a four-bedroom duplex worth N45 million in Lagos

Another COZA church member, Japheth Omojuwa has written yet another robust letter to the Abuja based pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo asking him vital questions that he needs to answer urgently over his love affair with his female church members, especially Ese Walters. The note appears to be very long, but have patience and read on:

“Now read my lips, I know there are people here that are not part of our church, read my lips, we are going to speak but we are consulting to come out with a robust reply.”

“When we asked God, God said be quiet.” Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo in his non robust reply to the Ese Walter accusations on Sunday 25th August 2013.

One shouldn’t need a robust reply to say “I didn’t do it!” but I digress. The Miss Ese Walter – Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo affair has since come and for many, who’d rather the truth be buried, should be gone by now. Unfortunately, this will not go yet. The reason is simple; pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo just has to speak up. This was my initial take on the issue and you may need to read it to understand where this writer is coming from. If you haven’t read that, you’d not understand my mind with respect to how, no matter what we think or assume, we should never judge until all sides are heard. I now know more than I did from that last time and all sides have had at least 3 weeks to be heard.

Stakeholders of All Progressives Congress (APC), in the South-West are alarmed by the lull in political activities as regards the newly registered party.

The lull, checks revealed, could be due to the absence of its leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who has been away abroad for medical attention.

Against this backdrop, Daily Sun learnt at the weekend that some concerned stakeholders were putting pressure on the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, to assume the leadership of the party in the zone in an acting capacity, pending the arrival of Tinubu.

The Investment drive of the Governor State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, to overseas countries in recent times, have continued to yield the much desired results as an Italian Company, Mano Investment and Properties, based in Milan has mobilized to the state to commence the final spadework for the establishment of a palm-oil processing factory in the State of Osun.

Officials of the Italian Company who were in Nigeria during the week made this disclosure during a meeting with Senior Political and Management functionaries of the States Ministry of Environment and Sanitation and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security at the New Secretariat Complex, Gbongan road.

Controversial Fuji musician, Saheed Osupa popularly called Saridon P is not happy as you are reading this. Information reaching us has it that, the self-acclaimed King of Music is sad at the moment because he was denied American visa on Monday, 29th of August, 2013 at the American Consulate, Abuja.

According to whispers coming from Abuja, we learnt, Saheed Osupa, who had a long battle with K1 De Ultimate over superiority, was supposed to travel to America for a show put together by a certain Nollywood stakeholder. Also on the list of those present at the American Embassy are veteran movie directors, Wale Ilebiyi and Bayo Tijani who were equally denied visa to Uncle Sam’s country.

'We sang ding dong the witch is dead when mom died': Brother and sister who wrote vicious public obituary reveal how their mother beat them and ran a brothel from their home

The son who co-wrote a vicious obituary for his mother that went viral because of its shocking claims of abuse and torture today revealed that he sang ‘ding dong the witch is dead' when he heard about her death.

A completely unrepentant Patrick Reddick, 58, said that he smiled and felt a wave of relief at the news Marianne Theresa Johnson-Reddick, 78, had passed away on August 30.

She terrorized him so much that even when he went to see her a week before she died he insisted doctors sedate her - and wore sunglasses as a disguise in case she woke up.

Car Accident At Mushin, Lagos (pictures)

A car accident involving a Toyota 4runner had a deflated tyre, then, due to the speed and the bent road, somersualted like three times into some parked tokunbo cars in a car lot, this happened this afternoon as the three occupants of the car cars out with bruises and body scrathes.

Thanks God they made it out alive but....they wld av wished they hadn't because, the occupants and the driver, who are not original owners of the car, had 'within a few seconds' been indebted to an estimated value of N6m on the spot'. These includes the cost of the infinity Jeep, a camry and the 4runner itself.

A group of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors which met with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Aso Rock villa tonight agreed to observe a “ceasefire” until final discussions on October 7 to iron out differences they have with the president.
An aide to President Jonathan said the air around the meeting gave them hope that the disagreements between the president’s faction and the ‘New PDP’ might be resolved on that date.
But one of the governors in attendance told SaharaReporters the meeting specifically achieved only the specific purpose of compelling both sides to avoid escalating the issues further.
He some of them were opposed to issuing a statement at the end of tonight’s out of concern that it could be manipulated by the president’s team.

I WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY. HERE IS WHY…

Sunday, September 15th, 2013 @ 8:48AM

On the night of April 19, 2007, I sat with the head of my media team in a long conversation over dinner. It was a light-hearted conversation about many things: family, religion, and history. We joked about a recent visit by a friend, and the recent pranks by his youngest child. Everything but politics.

This might sound strange because that was two nights before the 2007 Presidential Elections, and we were about to lose. It was my first, and only, run in a general election for president, and I knew it would be a heavy loss.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, I was garbed in a pair of jeans, on a pair of Timberland boots, a military sweat shirt, and my JackMoody denim jacket. I had been attacked by men of the underworld the night before whilst we were on production, at the office. So I slung my black Ted Baker satchel across my right shoulder, armed with my camera, my midget, and some other small gizmos, I was more determined, to embark on this adventure, than ever before. I was headed for the ancient city of brown roofs, Ibadan where a one-time Nigeria’s most notorious and dreaded bandit that ever lived SHINA RAMBO mounted the pulpit to preach!!! What an irony you would say.

Now Mathew Oluwanifemi, Shina Rambo was a name that sent shivers down the spine of people who lived in the South West of Nigeria and even outside Nigeria, like Benin Republic and neighbourhood, in the 1990’s. He was a hardened criminal, a terror and killer, one whom men of the security agencies will never forget in a haste! A man mountain, towering about 6ft 5inch, well built, dark skinned and sweltering eyes, he carried out his operations, like a movie, in the broad day light, with sophisticated weapons, and bullet belts and explosives strapped roundabout him! He specialized in robbing exotic cars on highways and banks. Nothing could stop him, not even security operatives, he was totally invincible. He was Shina Rambo!

REVEALED: Mrs Farida Waziri tried to bribe Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to retain her job as EFCC Chairman

Mrs Farida Waziri tried to bribe Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to retain her job as EFCC Chairman, but he refused her offer. The attached letter below made available to elombah.com clearly speaks for itself. Mrs Farida Waziri threatened to expose Obasanjo, but she ended up being exposed herself.

Elombah.com recalls that Mrs Farida Waziri, this week hit back at former President Olusegun Obasanjo over Mr. Obasanjo’s criticism of her leadership at the EFCC.

The Anambra State Police Command has arrested 38-year-old wanted kidnap suspect, Okafor, a graduate of Mathematics from the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Okafor popularly known as Igwe did not only fall afoul of the law as a kidnapper, he also messed up the temple of God by keeping his victims in a church and sharing his loot with the pastor.

Once on a mission to collect N5 million ransom from the family of victim in Asaba, Delta State, he was rounded up by crack policemen and locked up in a cell.

Okafor, however, escaped through the window of the cell to continue his evil trade until the hardworking members of the State Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Anambra ended his reign of terror.

The kidnap kingpin spoke with Sunday Sun: “I graduated from Unizik in 2006 and I studied Mathematics. I did my NYSC in Abuja and I served in NNPC at Berger. After graduation I was going to Ghana to buy clothes to sell in Lagos State.

Tension mounts over National Assembly resumption

Following tension over the factionalisation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), there were fears that the National Assembly leadership may postpone the reconvening of members.

It was learnt that some members of the Assembly, who are pro-Bamanga Tukur faction of the party are pushing for a postponement. However, the leadership might hide under the excuse of ‘major repair’ of the Assembly complex to bid time for the resolution of the crisis.

According to findings, Senators and members of the House of Representatives are expected to resume on September 17.

But there were security reports that the members of the Kawu Baraje faction of PDP in collaboration with the opposition might take over the leadership of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

It was learnt that some senators in the New PDP had met last Thursday at the residence of a former Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki, over what a source described as “for strategic purpose”.

It was gathered that part of the Plan B of the New PDP is to take over the National Assembly to checkmate President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term ambition.
