APC Secretary, Basiru, Dismisses Atiku and Obi’s Petitions as “Terribly Hopeless” Against Tinubu

APC Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, Labels Atiku and Obi's Petitions "Terribly Hopeless" Against tinubu's Election Victory

Senator Ajibola Basiru, the National Secretary of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), has asserted that the petitions contesting the outcome of President Bola Tinubu's victory in the recently concluded presidential election are of a "terribly hopeless" nature. These petitions are lodged by Atiku Abubakar of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).

Basiru's dismissal of these cases was firm and clear, emphasising his view that they lack substantial grounds. He conveyed his stance during an appearance on Channels Television's Sunday Politics show, where he addressed the issue.

Speculation regarding the possibility of an election rerun was also addressed by Basiru, who refuted such claims. Drawing from his understanding of Nigerian electoral law and involvement in the proceedings, he confidently stated that the petitions targeting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's election victory hold no merit.

In his words, "They are hopeless petitions, terribly hopeless."

Tunde Bakare to Tinubu: Target Corruption, Not Nigerians

During a "State of the Nation" address on Sunday, Pastor Tunde Bakare, the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, called upon President Bola Tinubu to combat the corruption plaguing the nation's economy.

Pastor Bakare emphasised that while some palliative measures have been announced, they cannot address the core issue.

In a strongly-worded message, he urged President Tinubu to tackle the root causes of the problem. He appealed for the removal of the burden on people with low incomes, the pursuit and recovery of looted funds, and their redirection for the betterment of Nigerians.

In concise terms, Pastor Bakare's message was clear: eradicate corruption, not harm Nigerians.

Bakare's words resonated widely, reflecting the sentiments shared across the nation. These sentiments manifested through short-lived nationwide protests and prolonged negotiations between organised labour and the Federal Government, prompted by increases in fuel prices due to subsidy removal and the escalating cost of living.

August 14, 2023 Chelsea Finalizes British Record Transfer: Caicedo Deal Secured for £115 Million

Chelsea Finalizes British Record Transfer: Caicedo Deal Secured for £115 Million

In a groundbreaking move, Chelsea Football Club has successfully agreed to acquire Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo for a staggering British record fee of £115 million.

This high-profile transfer saga saw Liverpool initially clinch a deal for the 21-year-old Ecuadorian player with a substantial £111 million offer last Friday. However, Caicedo's heart was set on donning the Chelsea blue, and the persistence of the London club paid off as they managed to secure his services. This achievement comes after a series of rejected proposals from Chelsea to Brighton throughout the summer.

The fee associated with this transfer makes Caicedo Chelsea's latest acquisition and signifies the club's second breaking of the British transfer record in 2023. Their earlier purchase of Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez for £107 million in January set a precedent for this remarkable transaction.

Despite the excitement surrounding this deal, a few steps must be taken before it is officially finalized. Moises Caicedo is yet to undergo a medical examination, a crucial step in any high-value transfer.

Insiders reveal that the initial fee stands at an impressive £100 million, with the possibility of additional payments making up the remainder. Brighton has prudently negotiated clauses that ensure these additional payments are easily attainable. Furthermore, the club has secured a sell-on clause, enhancing their potential gains from Caicedo's future performances.

Brighton had initially set a considerable asking price of over £100 million for Caicedo, seemingly confident that no club would meet such a valuation. Chelsea had previously submitted an £80 million bid, signaling their strong interest in the player.

Moises Caicedo originally joined Brighton's ranks from Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle in February 2021 for a modest sum of £4 million. He didn't make his Premier League debut until April 2022, despite his arrival. The midfielder expressed his desire to leave Brighton during the January transfer window this year, leading to Arsenal's multiple unsuccessful attempts to secure his services. Ultimately, Caicedo committed his future to Brighton by signing a contract extension until 2027 in March.

With this significant addition, Chelsea's summer signings now tally to eight players, showcasing the club's dedication to strengthening their squad. Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Lesley Ugochukwu, Angelo Gabriel, Robert Sanchez, and Diego Moreira are the other notable names that have joined the club during this eventful transfer window.

I Rejected N10m For Movie Role – Chinwetalu Agu

Chinwetalu Agu, a seasoned veteran in Nollywood, recently shared an intriguing anecdote about his career.

He revealed how he turned down a generous N10 million offer from the renowned billionaire business magnate, Mike Adenuga, to take on a role in a movie.

Agu recounted that during that time, he had never earned up to N1 million for a project. However, he stood firm and asked for N20 million for the role. Eventually, after a negotiation where Agu threatened to walk away, Adenuga agreed to the actor's terms and paid him the requested N20 million.

The respected actor divulged this captivating story during a conversation with the well-known media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

He said, “Chief Mike Adenuga said, ‘what I have for you in this contract is N10 million.’ I have not seen N1 million before when he was pricing me N10 million but I refused. I said, ‘if it’s not N20 million, forget it.’

“He insisted, I insisted. So, I pretend to rise up and said, ‘give me money to go back to Enugu. If there’s any available flight, book it for me let me just quietly go back.’

“They regarded me to now being serious when I rose up. Chief Mike Adenuga said ‘sit down.’ He ordered them to bring documents for signing. They brought and I signed.

“From that moment uhuru dance started. I did it diplomatically in the office. I didn’t want them to know that N20m was a big deal [to me]. But it was the most wonderful thing [to me] at the moment.”
