“Ribadu’s Defection to PDP won’t Affect Our Electoral Fortunes” – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC),
said on Sunday in Yola that the defection of Mallam
Nuhu Ribadu to the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) would not affect the fortunes of the party in
Adamawa.
APC Secretary in Adamawa, Alhaji Abdullahi
Bakari, who stated this in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said the defection
would not affect the party's chances in the Oct.11
governorship bye-election.
Ribadu, former chairman of Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC), was also the
presidential candidate of defunct Action Congress of
Nigeria for the 2011 Presidential Election.
"We are not happy that Ribadu has left us, but one
thing that is clear now is that his movement has
created more problems for PDP in the state.
"The party in Adamawa is healthy and vibrant, what
we are working on now is to have a formidable
candidate for the Oct. 11 bye-election to recover our
mandate," Bakari said.
On its part, The PDP in Adamawa said Ribadu's
defection was a welcome development.
The State Secretary of PDP, Tahir Shehu, told NAN
that the doors of the party were open, not only to
Ribadu but also for anyone wishing to join it.
Meanwhile, a visit to Ribadu's governorship
campaign office in Jimeta area of Yola, showed that
it is wearing a new look with PDP flags hoisted there.

  It is one thing to grow in the household of Faith and hear of the great and mighty signs and wonders  that accompany a true believer’s life; it is another thing to have a real life experience of what is being preached. This could be assumed as the thoughts of Mr. F.E., a young student of Obafemi Awolowo University, after  escaping a death toll of a kidnapping event. Mr. F.E. had stated that even though he has been going to Church  and had heard people share testimony on different occasions about God's safety, he had never imagined him  being kidnapped or experiencing a real-life Miracle of being delivered from the hands of death. A moment with Mr. F.E. Just like every other faithful day, I started the day getting myself set for school, as we were at that time writing  our second-semester exam. I had some urgent needs that day; one of which was a laptop because I needed it for  my exam but I did not have a personal one.  The plan was to reach out...

The Little Drops

It's a beautiful day in the State of Osun, stepping out of my house was graceful and I was particularly excited to go out after a long time isolating myself from this whole pandemic.  On my way out, I noticed some changes within my street (the good, the bad, the ugly). Some SMEs started up during this pandemic and they are doing pretty well, buildings were been completed and obviously those that are ready to cause trouble at any given opportunity. (Well, that is not my focus for today)  Did I mention I was going for a meeting? Pardon me, I was actually scheduled to meet a young brilliant CEO of a fast rising software company. We discussed at length, in summary, it was a great and purposeful meet. On my way home, I was replaying our conversation (which I normally do most of the time after a meeting). Of a truth, I was surprised at how versatile I had grown to be. Now, stay with me, I'm just getting to into the real gist.  I remembered an incident that brought about today's...
