London-PDP's Presidential Flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar In Talks With Nyesom Wike, Seeks Support. Former President Obasanjo Meets Peter Obi, Nyesom Wike, Samuel Ortom, Others...


Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, on Thursday met with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in London as part of efforts to resolve the crisis with the governor.

In respect to the the ongoing reconciliation, the PDP presidential candidate has called on his supporters and all stakeholders of the party to avoid making statements that were capable of compromising the process.

According to him, such reconciliation would further strengthen the party and bring all its leaders together.

The former Vice President said these in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, in Abuja, on Thursday.

He said, “It has become imperative to appeal to all party members, leaders and everyone related to, connected with or associated with the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar,  to desist from making comments that potentially reduce the optics of PDP’s image as a united political party.

"This appeal becomes necessary in order to call the attention of party leaders and members to the diversionary antics of the ruling All Progressives Congress which, in manufacturing a false impression of division within the PDP, aims to hoodwink the Nigerian public to overlook the monumental failures of the ruling party.’’

Also in the news, earlier on Thursday in London, the United Kingdom, former President Olusegun Obasanjo met Governor Nyesom Wike and the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Also present at that meeting were allies of the Rivers State governor,  including governors Seyi Makinde of Oyo State; Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke.

The Spokesperson for the Peter Obi Support Network, Onwuasoanya Jones, confirmed the meeting.

He said, “I can confirm that Peter Obi met with these PDP governors and our former President, His Excellency Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,  in London and I can tell you that this is one out of several such meetings that have been held and will still be held as we approach the 2023 elections.

“Of course, the discussion is centred on salvaging our dear country from an imminent collapse, and there is a consensus among Nigerian patriots that Peter Obi is the most reliable of the candidates to drive this vision.”

Britain-ASDA Slashes Prices On Rice, Pasta And Baked Beans

Asda slashes prices on pasta, rice and baked beans to help ‘millions’ of Britain’s poorest families. Following a successful campaign by anti-poverty blogger and budget chef Jack Monroe, Asda has slashed the prices of hundreds of kitchen staples, helping "millions" of Brits. Last month Monroe, a former food bank user, urged supermarkets to make their cheapest food ranges more widely available after highlighting the inflation in key products such as rice and the removal of value ranges from the shelves in her local Asda in Essex. Her Twitter thread warning that official inflation figures "grossly underestimated" the impact of the current cost of living crisis on Britain's poorest families went viral and generated a media storm. In response, on Monday (February 7) Asda committed to stocking its full Smart Price and Farm Stores ranges in all of its stores and online. On Saturday (February 12), three and a half weeks after her viral Tweets, the campaigner, who has be...

On Monday 20th December, 2021, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), through its Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu says the commission will require N305 billion to conduct the 2023 general elections.

The 30-day deadline stipulated by the constitution for the President to respond to the bill expired on Sunday...
