2015: APC Presidential Candidate, Others May Emerge Through Consensus

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that it would encourage the emergence of its presidential and other candidates through consensus in the forthcoming 2015 general elections.

The Kaduna State chapter of the party made this known in a statement after stakeholders met with Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso at the weekend.

The party however explained that despite consensus, members would be required to vote in favour or against them.

The statement jointly signed by two of the party’s chieftains, Senator Sani Saleh and Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, reads in part; “Based on the directive of the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande, Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso convened a meeting attended by senior leaders of the party in Kaduna State.

“The purpose of the consultative meeting was to discuss wide ranging issues in preparation for the ward, local government and state congresses taking place between April 5 and 23.

“In the event of such emergence of consensus candidates, registered party members will still be required to vote ‘YES’ in favour of the consensus candidate or ‘NO.’ Where consensus candidate fails to emerge, registered party members will then vote for the candidate of their choice.

”The meeting equally resolved to constitute a committee to coordinate the conduct of the congresses at all levels.

“The committee will be co-chaired by Senator Sani Saleh and Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed. Members of the committee are Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Alhaji Yaro Makama, Alhaji Ahmadu Yaro Coca-Cola, Ambassador Sule Buba, Hajia Binta Muazu, Hon. Joel Giwa Kwasau and Chief Samuel Onyeama, among others.

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...

Justice And The Killer Cop

NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too. Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state. That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
