Fayose tackles Buhari again


Ekiti State Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose on Thursday in Yenagoa, said it

is wrong on the part of President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint his in-law as
the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC),
especially now that the nation is warming up for the conduct of election in
Kogi and Bayelsa states.
He also urged Governor Dickson not to entertain any fears over the
forthcoming election, adding that the governor has all it takes to
defeat the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in the December poll.
Speaking as the chairman PDP National Electoral Panel, Chief Fayose said
the party is closely monitoring the activities of the INEC, submitting that
at the appropriate time its hidden agenda will be made public.
According to him, “I have complained very clearly about the choice of the
INEC chairperson. Nobody can give us an INEC chairman that is his daughter
or in-law. This is our country and nobody can run out of Nigeria.
“Therefore, we are watching INEC and its activities. We will not allow you
to play pranks. This is an Ijaw state and so they are going nowhere. This
is a PDP controlled state. No hidden agenda will work in Bayelsa.”
On the preparedness of the party for the December 5 poll, Chief Fayose told
Governor Dickson not to worry about the ranting of APC, adding, “In our
place, it is one stone that scatters so many birds. Your (Dickson) stone
will scatter their birds. I’ve worked with them before. I know their style
and antics. So fear not.
“If you read the book of Joshua chapter one, it says, fear not. So don’t be
afraid but be courageous because their armies will bow to your army.
“I am conducting this PDP primary in Bayelsa transparently in line with the
PDP guidelines. I am not ready to dodge out of this stadium to run away.
The truth will stand the test of time and speak for itself.”

10 World Most Eloquent People

Image
Only the eloquent can adequately describe eloquence. It includes articulation, a mellifluous tone of voice and poise under pressure. To be eloquent is to speak well in a persuasive and deeply thoughtful way. Though it appears to come easily, eloquence does not often come naturally. The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...

40 years ago, after the calamitous coup failed, Lt. Colonel Buka Dimka who played a leading role in the events of February 13, 1976 sought refuge in the arms of an old girlfriend in Afikpo in the then Anambra State. An indigene of the town, Chief Jasper Okoro, a native of Afikpo now in Ebonyi State, a former Editor-in-Chief of Ebonyi State owned newspapers, publishers of the Nigerian Patriot recounts the events of that time and he like many other indigenes of the town would not disclose the present identity of Ugo, the former Dimka flame who is now married. Excerpts: What can you say about the Dimka’s coup? I was a teacher when the coup took place and Dimka and his partners were declared wanted. At that time, the radio kept announcing that whoever finds him should report to the police as some benefits will be given to the person. So, every 15 minutes or thereabout the radio continued to flare the information. Dimka had served as an officer here, (Afikpo) we came back from Biafra and m...
