Quote of the day.
Success is not magic, it takes years of consistent effort and diligence. Keep pushing and one day you will be grateful you did.
Ayodele Fayose threatens to leave PDP.
Outgoing Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has regretted the failure of Sokoto Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, to emerge as the PDP presidential candidate at the party’s national convention held in Port Harcourt on Saturday. He also threatened to leave the party.
Mr Fayose, in a statement on Monday in Ado Ekiti, said he supported his Rivers counterpart, Nyesom Wike, to ensure the emergence of Mr Tambuwal.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that former Vice President Abubakar Atiku picked the PDP ticket for the presidential race after scoring 1,532 votes to floor Mr Tambuwal who got 693 votes.
Mr Fayose, while reacting to the outcome of the primary election, said that he was reconsidering his membership of the PDP because of Mr Tambuwal’s loss.
“We have no regret aligning with Governor Wike to support Governor Tambuwal for the presidential ticket. We have no apologies either.
“We kept the party alive and strong when most men became ladies. We never compromised. If any group feels it can do it alone, we will see how far they can go
“I may renounce my membership of the party, if the need arises
“In the main time, myself and others will continue with our consultations while watching the turn of events.
“We cannot but appreciate leaders that have intervened so far, but this release became necessary to avoid fresh crisis or misrepresentation,” he said.

South African police officers accused of murdering Nigerian granted bail.
Adetola Olubajo, President of the Nigerian Union in South Africa (NUSA), confirmed the latest development to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on telephone from Pretoria on Monday.
Mr Olubajo said that South Africa’s Independent Police Investigating Directorate (IPID) had indicted the eight cops for the torture and murder of Badmus Ibrahim on October 10, 2017.
“The eight police officers (six men and two women) were released today (Monday) on bail of R3,000 (about N72,000) each among other conditions by the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate Court.
“One of the bail conditions is that the released police officers should not in any way interfere with witnesses.
“The eight police officers made application for bail at the magistrate court today (Oct. 8) with three lawyers representing them,” he told NAN.
Mr Olubajo said that IPID, an independent unit outside the South African Police Department, had opposed the bail application through the IPID Principal Investigating Officer, Tulani Makagula.
He said the magistrate granted the wish of the defendants and adjourned the matter until November 13 for further hearing.
“The court premises and room were filled with members of the police and Prisons Civil Rights Union, who were in solidarity with their members indicted for torture and murder of Ibrahim.
“The police union have thrown their weight behind their accused members, pledging legal support for them.
“Also, the Nigerian Union in South Africa senior officers were at the court with members of Nigerian community to witness the proceedings and ensure everything was in order,” he said.
Mr Olubajo said that NUSA’s legal adviser, Omoreige Ogboro, who was present in court, had applied for Nigeria’s Channels Television to cover the court’s proceedings.
The union’s president said the Nigerian community had earlier reported to the union the constant harassment and intimidation of Nigerians following the murder of Mr Ibrahim.
According to him, the principal witness in the case was arrested in August by that country’s police and had remained in detention since the arrest.
“NUSA commend the efforts of IPID for not leaving any stone unturned while investigating the murder case of late Ibrahim.
“Going by the briefing we received from IPID, we believe they (IPID) have a watertight case. So, we are positive that justice will be served at the end of the trial.
“We advice Nigerians in Vanderbijlpark, outside the magistrate court to remain calm as we have confidence in the investigation done by IPID so far, and South Africa’s justice system,” he said.
According to unofficial sources, up to 800,000 Nigerians mostly young people reside in South Africa. (NAN)
