SARAKI CONDEMNS JONATHAN OVER COMMENT ON STATES.

Former Kwara State Governor Bukola Saraki
has urged President Goodluck Jonathan not to
stifle opposition states.
Jonathan last week, while hosting outgoing
Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, warned
opposition state governors to stop abusing
him and the Federal Government or they would
lose many things.
Saraki, now an All Progressive Congress (APC)
senator, told reporters at the weekend in Ilorin,
the Kwara State capital.
The senator, who expressed doubt that the
president could have made such a statement,
urged leaders to respect their oath of office.
He said: “The president said that? He said
that? I don’t even know what to say. What I
just want my own people, in Kwara and
Nigerians in general, to know is that they
should take sentiment out of these issues.
What we are talking about in Nigeria today is
not whether you are a Northerner or otherwise,
Yoruba man or Ijaw, Christian or Muslim. We
should not allow sentiments.
“Even if a state governor and the president are
not on good terms, the nation and the
constitution that we all swore to uphold should
be the guiding principle. I will be surprised if
he said that. I’m sure the president couldn’t
have said that. Maybe he was misquoted. I
hope he will deny it very soon. It is not a
statement that should come from him as the
president of a country like ours.”

Responding to the claim by an Islamic organization, Jama’atu Nasril Islam, led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Abubakar Sa’ad III, that the process of selecting delegates to the National Conference was not done with fair representation and will affect the credibility of its outcome, CAN General Secretary, Dr. Musa Asake, said the inclusion of religion in population census will correct certain negative impressions about which religion has more adherents than the others in the country. The JNI had, through its Secretary-General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar, stated: “Christians, who by all acceptable records, are not more than 40 per cent of the country’s population, ironically, constitutes 62 per cent of the total delegates at the National Conference.” Asake, in a statement, yesterday, described the ...

So it has been confirmed, Jude Okoye, elder brother of the dynamic duo P-Square wasn’t present for his brother’s wedding. A source spoke with P-Square’s publicist Bayo Adetu and he confirmed that Jude Okoye was not at Peter and Lola’s wedding yesterday. The gist is that Jude Okoye and some members of P-Square’s band were stuck in Ghana after their Saturday night show. What’s weird is that Peter and Paul also at that show and were able to make the trip back on Sunday morning but not Jude.

Microsoft launches office for ipad

Microsoft has released an iPad version of its popular Office software suite. This breakthrough heralds a new era under new CEO Satya Nadella who promises to focus more on the devices that people are using instead of trying to protect the company’s lucrative Windows franchise. Thursday’s unveiling of the much- anticipated iPad apps for Microsoft’s bundle of word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software comes nearly four years after Apple Inc. released the tablet computer that has contributed to a steady decline in sales of desktop and laptop machines running on the Windows operating system. The Office app is free to anyone who wants to read Office’s Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents on the iPad, but it will require a subscription to Microsoft’s Office 365 to create and edit on the device. The Office 365 subscription costs A$119 annually, but comes with a limited number of devices the software can be used on. The Office 3...
