Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has reacted as the Oyo state Governor and the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s committee for ward congresses in Edo State, Seyi Makinde relinquished his chairmanship position in the buildup to the party’s governorship primary election.
Speaking on Sunday, Obaseki said that the resignation was unfortunate.
The six-person committee was tasked with holding congresses in each of Edo State’s 192 wards to choose delegates who would nominate the party’s candidate for governor on September 21.
The committee also includes Dr. Agbu Kefas, the governor of Taraba State, Hon. Marie Ebikan, Hon. Pascal Adigwe, and the governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, who serves as vice chairman.
Naija News notes that the PDP has scheduled its primary for February 22, 2024, in the buildup to the September 21 gubernatorial election.
Makinde’s resignation was conditioned on the presence of purported irregularities in the list of electoral officers nominated.
He further said that the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly was leading the team of Electoral Officers in his own Local Government Area, Owan West.
However, Obaseki, speaking to press following the election of three delegates at the PDP Ward Congress in Ward 4 of Oredo Local Government Area, stated that Makinde’s resignation from the exercise had no bearing on the authenticity of the process.
He said, “It is unfortunate that Makinde withdrew, there are three governors and he is only one of three, so withdrawing does not really remove the credibility of the process and it is not just the process and what makes a process credible is the quality of the participation.
“You can see for yourself. So it is unfortunate that Governor Makinde had to take such decision but I hope that all our efforts to continue to unify the party and pacify all players would continue.
“We are not deterred at all, we are going to make sure that PDP plays its role in the politics of this country.
“You can also see from the crowd that the exercise is a huge as regards the turn out. We have over 600 people coming out to participate here, our people are now very politically conscious.
“We are happy with this turn out to elect delegates for a our gubernatorial primary, and we are also expecting this huge turnout in the main election.”

Davido was nominated in three categories: Best Global Music Performance, Best Global Music Album and Best African Music Performance but lost all three on Sunday night at 66th Grammy Awards.
Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido continues his search for his first Grammy award after losing out on all three nominations at the 66th Grammy Awards.
Davido was nominated in three categories: Best Global Music Performance, Best Global Music Album and Best African Music Performance but lost all three on Sunday night.
In same vein, none of the four other Nigerian artistes nominated — Burna Boy, Olamide, Ayra Starr and Asake — nicked an award during the ceremony.
Meanwhile, South Africa’s Tyla went home with her first Grammy Award as she won the Best Global Music Performance category at the Grammys.
Tyla who had her breakthrough with the hit song ‘Water’ in 2023 defeated a line-up of Nigerian artistes that includes Davido, Burna boy, Asake and Ayra Starr.
Before the Grammy ceremony, Davido had expressed optimism about winning his first Grammy.
In an interview with Billboard’s Tetris Kelly, Davido said he would go into wild celebration if he clinches the award for the Best African Music Performance category.
Speaking further, Davido said an African music category at the premier global music award was long overdue.
“I feel good being a nominee for the first time and getting three nominations. But the Best African Music Performance category feels long overdue for African music to be celebrated. I’m talking about generations way before mine, Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade… Sunny Ade has been nominated, I believe, but now there is an African category.
“If there was an African category years ago, a lot of people would have had the opportunity to be recognised by the Grammy. Finally, at least it is happening now,” Davido said.
Away from Davido, Nigerian Artistes: Other 2024 Grammy Award winners
Early Grammy winners include Barbie the Album for best compilation soundtrack for visual media, and Billie Eilish and Finneas’ song “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie for best song written for visual media. Oppenheimer also won the award for best score soundtrack for visual media.

Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, has threatened to expose female Nollywood stars snatching other people’s husbands and boyfriends.
Naija News reports that the thespian made this known in a post via her Instagram page on Sunday.
Angela described the category of ladies snatching husbands and boyfriends as low-class people with no pedigree.
The thespian said she is waiting for them to speak and would drop their names online.
The movie star noted that those involved in such illicit affairs are putting the Nollywood industry in a bad light, adding they are foolish, including those backing them.
She wrote” “Nollywood girls and snatching na 5&6. Is either they are snatching husbands. Or they are snatching boyfriends, they sha won knack who you Dey knack just to pepper you.
“Very low-class people with no pedigree, after dem, go Dey find respect monkey bananas. All of una wey Dey this table I Dey wait make I hear kpim.

‘Your Husband Is A Maradona In Bed’ – Mother Confesses To Sleeping With Daughter’s Husband In Nasarawa
AdminA woman, identified as Madam Cynthia, has confessed to sleeping with her daughter’s 46-year-old husband, Joseph, in Nasarawa State.
Naija News learned that the secret romantic affair between Cynthia and her son-in-law was blown open after her six-year-old grandson reported their escapade to his mother, Doris.
According to The Nation, Cynthia and Joseph were involved in a romantic relationship before his marriage to her daughter.
28-year-old Doris married Joseph, a sales manager with a private company, and was oblivious that he and her mother were dating.
On January 18, when Madam Cynthia visited her daughter’s matrimonial home in New Nyanyan, Karu Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, she and her son-in-law decided to engage in fresh romance sessions during the visit. Unfortunately, their six-year-old son ran into them in one of the sessions and later let the cat out of the bag.
Madam Cynthia admitted to the romantic affair and pleaded with her daughter for forgiveness.
She said, “My husband died about 20 years ago, and I never found another man of my dreams until I met Joseph. He is a kind and generous gentleman. He is also very strong and very good in bed.
“He gave me the most satisfaction I ever had with a man in bed. Because of that, I did not want to lose his company, so I recommended him to you (Doris). I insisted that he must get married to you so you could have a taste of what he is made of.”
Narrating the incident, Doris said, “I met my husband through my mother in Lafia in 2018. I had just completed NYSC and she introduced him to me as someone who was very good and generous and would never maltreat me.
“Looking at Joseph, although he was not too young, he actually appeared gentle and promising. He would come to my mother’s restaurant every evening after the close of work, but I never suspected that he was also going out with my mother.
“She actually hid her main reason for linking the two of us together. My mother did not want my husband to get married to another woman basically because of his sexual prowess and kindness.
“To my admiration, Joseph actually showed commitment, making sure that all my needs were met even without me asking.
“Within a short time, he proved to me that he was actually a good man in addition to what my mother told me.
“We eventually got married in 2018, and two years later, we relocated to New Nyanyan because he had secured a civil service job for me in Abuja and also opened a salon for me.
“Before I could say anything, she knelt down and said she was sorry I found out about their relationship the way I did, but she was not sorry she got both of us together.
“I have three kids and I am presently four months pregnant. My mother, a very careful woman, had told me after my marriage that she felt fulfilled that I got married to Joseph.
“She was always coming on visits, and would always ask whether I was enjoying my marriage. And I truly was enjoying it, because my husband did make life easy for me and my kids.
“She was always calling or visiting, and I thought it was because I am her only child. When I gave birth to my first son, she was very excited and often came to help out with house chores.
“She was always taking care of my kids who she loves so much. It was as if she was living together with us. We live in a three-bedroom apartment, so there was enough space for her to stay for as long as she wanted.
“On January 13, my mother came around and it coincided with the time my husband took a week off to rest at home. It never occurred to me that my husband’s one-week rest was tactically planned to coincide with my mother’s coming.
“The setting in my matrimonial home was the best for them because of the kids. They took care of the kids while I went to work, but I did not know that they were also taking care of themselves.
“My mum loves a particular brand of alcohol while my husband also likes a brand of wine, which he always ensured was in the refrigerator.
“So while I was away to work and the kids had gone to school, they kept each other company with their drinks. It never occurred to me that their relationship was beyond mother-in-law and son-in-law.
“On Thursday, January 18, I returned from work and my eldest son came into my room as I was pulling off my dress. He looked worried and confused, so I asked whether his aunty beat him in school or he was not given food, but he said nothing.
“When I prodded him further, he told me that he saw his father and grandmother fighting naked in the visitor’s room and grandma was crying while daddy was on top of her.
“I asked how he got to know, and he said that when he returned from school, grandma bathed him and he slept off after eating because he was tired.
“He said that when he woke up, he went to check on Grandma (Madam Cynthia) in her room and found that she and her father were fighting naked and Grandma was crying under him.
“Obviously, they did not lock the door. He said his father ordered him to go out immediately. Although I was shocked at the revelation, I managed to control my anger and inquire to know more of what went wrong in my absence.
“My son’s claims were actually not unexpected because of my mother’s constant visit to us and her unusual closeness to my husband.
“They were so close and were always in the sitting room together. But another thought came into my mind: the two of them had known each other before I came in, and I actually met my husband through my mother.
“I walked swiftly across the house and into my mother’s room and asked if there was something going on between her and my husband.
“She could not deny the allegation and that caused me to start shedding tears. I just did not know where the tears were coming from.
“My mother calmed me down and narrated the story of her relationship with Joseph and why she insisted that I should marry him.
“She said she got hooked on my husband because he was very good in bed in addition to his good nature. In fact, she described my husband as a Maradona in bed.
“She said that every woman would like such a man and she did not want me to miss out on him because those are the traits that sustain marriages.
“She said she would have felt cheated if Danjuma had married another woman, and that was why she persuaded me to marry him.
“She actually believed she was doing the best for me.”
SOUTH Africa goalkeeper Ronwen William has shared the credit for his heroic performance last night with his teammates and the technical crew.
The Mamelodi Sundowns shot stopper was the hero in the AFCON 2023 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final against Cape Verde in Yamoussoukro last night, becoming the first goalkeeper to save four penalties during a shootout in the history of the tournament.
Williams’ saves helped Bafana Bafana defeat Cape Verde 2-1 in the shootout after full-time and extra-time ended 0-0.
The 32-year-old former SuperSport United goalkeeper was named Man of the Match for his heroics but he insisted the award belonged to the entire team.
“It was tough. They played their part and it was my time to play my part,” Williams said while receiving his prize.
“I am just glad that we are in the next round. This is not mine but it is for the collective.
“The staff, technical team and each player. This journey has been tough but we soldiered on as a team so I will accept this on behalf of each and every player in Bafana Bafana.”
Bafana Bafana take on the Super Eagles in the semi-finals on Wednesday at the Stade de la Paix in Bouake.
The last time South Africa reached the AFCON semi-finals was in 2000 and they also faced Nigeria, who won 2-0 in Lagos as co-hosts.
The Super Eagles also beat Bafana Bafana at the AFCON in 2019.

Nigerian veteran actress, Taiwo Ajai-Lycett has appreciated God for attaining the age of 83, as she advised the youth to imbibe the African culture of respect.

She, however, advised the youth to respect the elderly and take conscious efforts in learning from their wealth of experience in all life issues.
“Yes, I am 83 years old today and I give glory to God. I begin to see 80 as 60, we have a lot of work to do, it is a stage of life that one needs to continue to give back to the society, share and help others. I will say aluta continua, the struggle continues.
“I hear many of our youths calling the aged, old school, this is wrong, the youth should be ready at all times to respect and learn from the elderly.

“As you get older, you encounter individuals from many walks of life, have life-altering experiences, you’ll cherish your loved ones more and you’ll develop patience and understanding.
“Beautiful people, experience life, be present, let go of things you cannot control, spend time with the people you love and never stop telling them you love them.
“Don’t wait until you are old to realise this. Really, there’s nothing significant to consider in life except the joy of life. So live. Happy Birthday to me ❤️.”

Mariam Muftaudeen, the Yoruba actress fondly called Omo VC, has asked the public to hold MC Oluomo, the Lagos state park management chairman better known as “responsible should any harm befalls me or my daughter”.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the actress claimed she has a daughter for MC Oluomo but he has failed to take responsibility for the child’s welfare.
In the post titled “open letter to Musiliu Akinsaya”, Muftaudeen also accused MC Oluomo of threatening to hurt her and her daughter.
She claimed the last time she took her daughter to MC Oluomo’s residence, he ordered his security men to shoot at her.
The film star alleged that efforts to take legal actions against him failed because the judiciary “backed out before commencement of the case”.
See the full post below:
It is no longer news to the public that our escapades provided a child, Zeenat Abebi. You made life unbearable for me not just during the pregnancy but even after the birth of Zeenat.
All effort to reconcile with you and make you responsible was frustrated by you.
I had no option than to reach out to people I believed you respect and love but nothing good cane out of it. Instead, you result to threatening my life and that of the child physically and spiritually (I have some evidences of the physical if the spiritual attacks cannot be established in the law court).
You lied to people that you gave me 20m Naira, Where? When? Through who? Just as I told those that confronted me, you should rather call out whoever you give such amount to though I believe you are lying.
Not until my last visitation to your house, I’ve been responsible for this girl’s welfare. All you sent a third party was one million naira a week after I came to your house that you even instructed the police officer to shoot at me.
All I ask from you is be responsible for her, stop coming after my life, still coming after my daughter’s life and leave out my fiance’s life too because he believe he is not safe with all that’s ongoing.
All effort to go legal proved abortive because those I even believe their chamber would be respected are jittery. They back out of the case even before it commence.
I know you are Tinubu’s boy so you believe the world evolve around you but their is one being who give and take
Oluomo, ma pa mi, ma pa mi lomo. Je n roju raye se iya omo mi.
Isaac Fayose, the brother of Ayodele Fayose, former governor of Ekiti state, has claimed that women are the major cause of the dollar crisis in Nigeria.
The Nigerian currency has been on a free fall in the past months, trading at N1,435 to a dollar at the official section of the foreign exchange — as of February 2.
Fayose, who spoke during a recent interview with Arise TV, argued that Nigerian women are to be blamed for the dollar crisis because they now demand foreign currency from their men.
He claimed that most Nigerian men in their late 40s are yet to be married because women nowadays have adopted the “no money, no honey” principle.
He also called on President Bola Tinubu’s government to start collecting taxes from women who undergo Brazilian B**t Lift (BBL) and tummy tuck surgeries.
“When you look around and see the situation, you can see a lot of single ladies in Nigeria and when you look around the world, it is not like that. They say God is love, how did we arrive here?” he asked.
“No money, no honey. That is so bad, even the guys in Nigeria right now are marrying at the age of 45, 46, 50. I am 51 and I am already a grandfather because my son is 25, he grew up in the UK where money is not the issue, love is the issue.
“The women are now the ones killing all our brothers and uncles because you do not have money. Prostate cancer is on the rise, now you see all of them doing stomach, doing b****m, I have told President Tinubu that we have to start taxing them because they are the ones keeping the dollar.
“You see the dollar crisis we have now when you go out and meet a girl, she will not ask you for naira again, she will ask you for dollars. They are the ones causing dollar crisis in Nigeria. Right now as we speak with you, you can see how the country is going.
“I have a friend who said he is getting married at 46. I said at 46 I already had five children, what are you waiting for? He asked who would answer him if he did not have money. You can see what they are doing to us, I am not saying you should not take care of your wife, but they should take it easy on us. It is getting too high.”
