Shekarau Meets Tinubu As Kano APC Crisis Festers

The former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, has met with the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, at his Ikoyi residence in Lagos.

Shekarau’s visit to the former Lagos State governor came just five days after the Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, handed over the APC structure in the state to his faction.

Justice Hamza Muazu had on November 30 nullified the ward congresses conducted by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje led faction and upheld the exercises supervised by Shekarau’s group.

The Kano State government later rejected the verdict over the court’s lack of jurisdiction to adjudicate in the matter.

FG Faults UK’s Red Listing Of Nigeria Over Covid-19 Omicron Variant

The federal government has expressed disappointment over the United Kingdom government’s placement of Nigeria on its red list following the detection of the COVID-19 Omicron variant. 

Reacting less than twenty-four hours, after the UK announced its plan, Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, said the move by the British government was ill-advised, pointing out that it would have multiple impacts on commerce, and disrupt activities during the Christmas and New Year festivities.

The Minister of Health however ruled out the possibility of restricting foreign travelers from visiting Nigeria despite travel bans on the country by Canada, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Ehanire described as unfortunate the knee-jerk reaction of some countries to the Omicron strain, noting that even the World Health Organisation had said that countries should focus more on collaboration rather than shutting borders.
