APC national leadership places embargo on inauguration of party excos in Lagos, Rivers, others

… swears in Alh Balogun( Lagos), Amacharee(Rivers) , 35 other party Chairmen

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress(APC) has placed embargo on inauguration of other party executives in Lagos, Rivers, Oyo, Delta and Taraba states. This according to the party leadership was meant to allow for harmonisation and reconciliation of parallel Congresses held in the states.

The Party leadership made this known at the formal swearing-in ceremony of the newly-elected Chairmen of the various state chapters of the APC on Monday, by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the outgoing National Chairman, the party’s National Secretariat, in Abuja.

In his statement Chief Odigie-Oyegun said, “There is a serious need for quick reconciliation especially in Rivers, Taraba, Oyo, Delta, Lagos and others.

“Let the chairmen here wait and should not inaugurate their excos like the others until the issues with the congresses in such states are resolved.

“I’m going to set up a committee headed by the Deputy National Chairman, (North) to study the situations in such states for possible actions. There will be concessions and harmonisation after the exercise within this week,” The APC Chairman cautioned.

Corroborating the Chairman’s statement Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, APC National Publicity Secretary said, “The case of Lagos is clearly a constitutional matter. We have set up a panel to consider the report of the congresses held there.

"Of course, we overruled those who conducted their congress in 57 local government areas, because the constitution only recognises 20 local governments.”

He further revealed that the NWC was not opposed to seeking for political solutions to some of the issues not only in Lagos but in other states where the “so-called” parallel congresses were conducted.

Meanwhile, during the swearing in ceremony of the state Chairmen, Alhaji Tunde Balogun , the concensus Chairman that emerged in the congress that held at the state secretariat in ACME, Lagos, was among those Chairmen that were sworn in.

Others are Chief Derin Adebisi (Ogun); Ojukaye Amacheree (Rivers); Godwin Etim John (Cross River); Dr. Ben Nwoye (Enugu), Jothan L. Amos (Bayelsa); Dr. Hillary Eke (Imo); Abdullahi Abass (Kano); Nitte K. Amangal (Gombe); Abdullahi Bello (Kogi); Ade Adetimehin (Ondo); and Cyril Ogodo ( Delta).

Love life of Charles and Camilla

By Chukwudi Iwuchukwu To those who do not understand why I called the wife of the new king of England, King Charles, “Side Chick”, let me share their beautiful love story. The course of true love never runs smooth, and that was certainly the case for the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. It took years for the British public to accept Camilla as Charles’ new girlfriend and then wife in 2005, following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. But over the decades, fans have warmed to the Duchess and credit her with supporting the future king and becoming his rock. As Charles and Camilla celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary last weekend, let’s take a look at their enduring love story, which started in the seventies… A chance meeting at a polo match in 1970 marked the beginning of Camilla Shand’s relationship with Prince Charles. The two – both aged 23 – began dating, but their romance cooled when the future King was called away on nav...
