The 37 PDP House of Representatives members who defected to APC in December 2013 have been ordered to vacate their seats and the House. Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja gave the order today while delivering judgment in a suit filed against the defected lawmakers by the PDP. The judge said the lawmakers no longer had any business, morally and legally in the Assembly and so should resign. "Having perused the arguments of counsel and the constitutional provisions, it is clear and unambiguous that the defendants were sponsored by the PDP and won the election on its platform. It is also the court’s opinion that their tenure has not expired and there is no division in the PDP. “The defendants are, therefore, not competent to vote or contribute to any proceedings in the House of Representatives. An order of perpetual injunction is, hereby, ordered, restraining them from altering or attempting to change the leadership of the House of Reps,”

In a statement on Monday , Mr. Fani-Kayode said the APC would lose “woefully” if they present a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2015 presidential election. “I have said it privately in countless political meetings and I will say it publicly today. Please mark it – the biggest mistake that my party, the APC, can make is to field a Muslim/Muslim ticket in the 2015 Presidential election. If we do that we will not only offend the Christian community, but we will also lose the election woefully,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said. In the 1993 presidential election, the Social Democratic Party, SDP, had fielded M.K.O Abiola and Baba Gana

The new number plates introduced by the Federal Road Safety Commission, is unconstitutional, a Federal High Court in Lagos said today Wednesday March 26th. Premium Times reports Delivering judgment in a suit filed by Emmanuel Ofoegbu, a lawyer, against the FRSC, the judge said that it was unlawful for the commission to impose the new number plates on Nigerians, where no existing law permitted it. “The issue of redesigning new number plates by the respondent, is not covered under the provisions of any law in Nigeria,” said James Tsoho, the judge. “The respondent (FRSC) cannot force Nigerians to acquire new plate numbers by impounding cars, without the backing of any legislation to that effect. “I hold that the act of the respondent amounts to an arbitrary use of power, and is therefore illegal and unconstitutional. “Judgment is therefore entered in favour of the plaintiff, and all the reliefs sought is hereby granted, I so hold,” the judge added.   Mr. Of

THE World Cup has been thrown into chaos with one of ­Brazil’s host ­cities ready to pull out because its stadium is not ready. DOUBTS: Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre is way behind schedule and out of money [GETTY] Porto Alegre, due to hold games involving top teams such as France, Holland and Argentina, dropped the bombshell on tournament organisers yesterday. The city’s beleagured Mayor Jose Fortunati said the council had run out of money just three months before the biggest show on Earth kicks off. And Sao Paolo could also quit the tournament because its Arena Corinthians stadium, set to host the opening match on June 12, is behind schedule. Fortunati said his city cannot cope without extra funding to build facilities for the media and corporate sponsors at the Estadio Beira-Rio. “If stadiums do not have these areas they cannot host matches under Fifa rules.” Fortunati insisted there will be no games held in Porto Alegre unless the national government changes its mind a

Last week popular Yoruba actress, Bisola Badmus granted an interview and revealed that Fuji czar King Wasiu Ayinde, K1 De Ultimate is the father of her two year old son.   Contrary to some reports that Bisola's disclosure was a spontaneous response, sources disclosed that the actress' action was intentional. Sources who are privy to the happenings in Bisola's life disclosed that she was forced to take that line of action to dispel some negative perceptions hovering around her son's paternity and her relationship with KI.  According to the findings made  Bisola and K1 had always enjoyed a high level of intimacy before she got pregnant.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE PRESIDENT JONATHAN NEVER CONFIRMED WITHHOLDING OF $10 BILLION FROM FEDERATION ACCOUNT Reports in some domestic media today which quoted President Goodluck Jonathan as "confirming" in Amsterdam that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) wrongly withheld $10 Billion from the federation account    are completely false and a total distortion of the President's comments during his meeting with the Nigerian community in the Netherlands. At no time during the well-attended reception did President Jonathan also confirm any "irregularities" in the NNPC. Sensational reports in the media to that effect are reckless, mischievous and unprofessional misrepresentations of the President's restatement to the Nigerian community of the Federal Government's position on the allegation that $20 Billion is "missing" from the NNPC or the Federation Account, by reporters who were not at the event or even in Holland a

Former Head of State, Mohammadu Buhari, has urged Nigerians not to look any further than the ruling PDP if they want answers to the formation, growth and sustenance of the Boko Haram menace. He stated this in his response to a claim by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, that Buhari’s comments, prior to the 2011 elections, were proves of his involvement with the sect. In his reaction, Buahri said: “The former National Security Adviser, Late Gen. Andrew Azazi, was unequivocal in his assertion that the power play in the PDP was the raison d’etre of the Boko Haram insurgency. Apparently, the discomfort caused within the PDP hierarchy was the reason for his sacking.  “Furthermore, we knew of the confessional statement to the State Security Service by one of the PDP stalwarts that the contact with Boko Haram was with the imprimatur of the Vice President Namadi Sambo.” Buhari, who spoke through the former national publicity secretary of the CPC , Mr

President Goodluck Jonathan has admitted in faraway Amsterdam in the Netherlands that he is aware of some financial impropriety in the accounting system of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). He also claimed that the government led by him is doing its best to address the big mess. President Jonathan admitted that the suspended CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is right that money is missing from Nigeria's crude oil sale but he argued that the missing sum is not as much as Sanusi stated. He said about $10bn was yet to be remitted by the NNPC as stated by the Ministry of Finance. But why has NNPC not remitted the N10bn and why was it a secret until Sanusi exposed it? Speaking during an interactive session between him and the Nigerian community in Amsterdam, Jonathan said he has ordereda forensic audit of the corporation so that the money can be traced and recovered. President Jonathan who further admitted that Nigeria as a country lacked the security

Two ladies residing in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria have given a moving account of their ordeal in the hands of suspected members of the Boko Haram sect and how they managed to escape. Speaking in an interview with the BBC Hausa service monitored in Kaduna on Monday, Liatu, aged 23, said she spent 12 days in the hands of her abductors inside the Sambisa forest before she escaped. According to her, she had left Maiduguri on her way to the village when she was abducted, adding that the Boko Haram members had barricaded the road just near the Bama bridge, killed some people and went away with others into the bushes. She said after staying with them for that period:  “one man suggested that we run away because one can only die once.” And we took a Golf car and ran away. The Boko Haram people chased us on motorbike, shooting us, they killed those who sat  at the back, when we were approaching Bama, they retreated and went back. Liatu, who said she was a Christian, explained further

An Egyptian court today in Cairo, sentenced to death 529 supporters of toppled president Mohammed Morsi after they were found guilty of charges ranging from rioting, attacking people and police facilities and even killing a police officer in Minya, a part of the country. The case which is said to be the biggest trial in the modern history of Egypt paraded about 1,200 defendants from Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood group, which has been declared as a terrorist organisation by the new military backed government. Morsi, who is Egypt’s first democratically elected president, was toppled by the army in July, 2013 after citizens protested against his one-year rule. Hundreds of his supporters were killed in security crackdowns that followed his overthrow and thousands were detained, most of them who were sentenced to death today.  The judge has however said the defendants can appeal their sentences.

Kelly Hansome has explained why he was brought on stage in a coffin at a recent show he had in Owerri. The singer said a lot of people believe his musical career is dead, and he had to do something to stage a comeback, even though the decision was tough, he still had to do it. Here is what he said; “I’m at that point in my life when many believe that Kelly Hansome’s musical career is dead; so I thought of a concept that would best depict my comeback, and that was what I came up with.

  Paula Patton is NOT reconciling with Robin Thicke ... at least not yet, and she may never get back with him. Sources close to Paula tell TMZ ... Robin has not been convincing enough for her to bring him back into her life. We're told Paula is saying the same thing she's said since she threw in the towel late last month -- that he needs to prove he can be a good husband. Robin has begged for forgiveness in concerts, on TMZ, and privately, but we're told she's spending a lot of time thinking but she has absolutely not decided to give the marriage another try. On the other hand ... we're told she still has not met with a divorce lawyer and has made no decision to file legal docs. Short story ... the jury is still out, and Robin needs a real good closing argument.
