Only when you vote for me, you will share in the Larger Cake” – Tinubu warns Igbos

The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has advised Igbos to vote for him or miss out on the ‘Larger Cake’.

Tinubu, who was in Enugu on Wednesday to seek votes from the region, explained that it was necessary for Igbo people to vote him into power, adding that nothing can stop a ‘moving train’.

In his words; “We want you to sweat well for this party until you deliver Victory, until Bola Tinubu became(sic) the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria. We will not give you but a slight clap or a socked slice of bread.”

“It is only when you vote for me, when you make him(Hope Uzodinma) governor, that you will share in the larger Cake of Nigeria’s Success. Don’t throway your votes.”

“It is only when you invest that you can harvest”.

The statement has been interpreted in some quarters as a subtle threat of exclusion from national benefits if Tinubu wins the Presidential elections without adequate support from the Igbos.

We will ensure the release of remaining kidnapped Chibok girls - President Buhari tells Swiss President in Poland

Image
President Buhari has pledged that his government will not rest until the remaining Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists in April 2014 are safely released. He renewed his commitment Monday in Katowice, Poland, at a bilateral meeting with Swiss President Alain Berset, on the margins of the UN Climate Change Conference, COP24. The President had spent the whole day at the International Conference Centre, Katowice, where he delivered his national address at the opening of the 12-day meeting of COP24, met with several world leaders and visited the impressive Nigerian pavilion at the climate summit.

Trump loses immunity shield in E Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit

Image
Ex-President Donald Trump can be held liable for disparaging comments he made about a woman who accused him of rape, the US Department of Justice has said. Its lawyers previously argued Mr Trump was legally immune as he was president when he made the remarks in 2019. But on Tuesday government attorneys said they no longer had "sufficient basis" to conclude Mr Trump had acted within the scope of his duties. The decision boosts E Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit against Mr Trump. In May, Mr Trump was ordered to pay the former magazine columnist $5m (£3.9m) after being found liable for sexual abuse of her in 1996 at a New York department store. Ms Carroll, 79, is currently seeking $10m from Mr Trump in a defamation lawsuit, which is due to go to trial in January. The legal action cites his remarks as president about her in 2019 while responding to reporters' questions. The lawsuit has been updated to reflect further comments he made about her during a CNN to...

Iwuanyanwu made the revelation at a meeting with the leadership of Ohanaeze, state governors from the region, and members of the National Assembly, which was held at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja on Monday evening. “I met some debts and financial challenges when I came in as President-General of Ohanaeze. But thank God for people like Hope Uzodinma, who came to our rescue. He brought in his public relations officers and provided everything, including security, to make the journey very easy for us. “It is important to mention here that this is not the first time he has done that. When he was a senator many years ago, I think he gave us N16m at that time. “When our st...
