January 5, 2021 British Prime Minister Announces Total Lockdown In England

British Prime Minister Announces Total Lockdown In England

Nearly 56 million people in England will return to a full coronavirus lockdown, possibly until mid-February, to try to cut spiraling infection rates.

According to Prime Minister BORIS JOHNSON, the measures, which include the closure of primary and secondary schools, will come into effect Wednesday, after Scotland announced similar measures would come into force from midnight on Tuesday.

Some 44 million people or three-quarters of the population of England are already living under the toughest restrictions, as Britain grapples with one of the worst mortality rates from coronavirus in the world.

But they have failed to halt an upward trend in positive cases, which have been blamed on a more infectious new variant.

Apc Chieftain Olusegun Osoba Says Bola Tinubu Has The Right To Contest For President In 2023

Former Lagos state governor, BOLA TINUBU, has the constitutional right to contest for president in 2023 according to a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, OLUSEGUN OSOBA.

He said TINUBU as an individual has the right to put himself forward, but insists that the party has not zeroed in on any individual.

OSOBA, who is also a former governor of Ogun State, on a televised programme today believes BOLA TINUBU has a right to pursue his own agenda.

He said the South-West must unite and put its home in order to achieve success in the next presidential election.

According to him, there is a gentleman's agreement in the APC that the South will produce Nigeria's president in 2023.

However, the man in the eyes of the storm, BOLA TINUBU is yet to officially declare his intention to run for the number seat come 2023.
