Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has categorically denied funding the All Progressives Congress with state resources.
The Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party had alleged that Amaechi was using the state’s resources to sponsor the APC campaign which they say have led to state finances being insufficient for carrying out development projects.
However, at the launch of the campaign of the State APC governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, at the Liberation Stadium in Port Harcourt, Amaechi outrightly refuted claims insinuating that he was the opposition’s moneybag.
Less than eight hours after a female suicide bomber detonated explosives at the Dukku motor park in Gombe, another blast has rocked Bauchi, the capital of Bauchi State.
Our correspondent gathered that the incident happened at about 5.30pm Monday at a market place in the town.
Police Public Relations Officer, Haruna Maohammed, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent on Monday, said he had yet to be briefed on the bombing.
Vice-Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has stated that the Presidential candidate of the party, Gen. Muhammed Buhari will wipe out the dreaded boko haram insurgents and create jobs in the country if elected in 2015.
Prof. Osinbajo was responding to questions from some of his followers on the social media.
He claimed that the Jonathan- administration is unable to tame Boko Haram because of the corruption around the defence funds which has created a situation where soldiers are not well equipped and motivated.
Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Oyo State, Teslim Folarin, has said the Independent National Electoral Commission has not rejected his name as the candidate of the PDP in the state.
Folarin explained in Ibadan on Monday that the letter written by the commission to the National Chairman of PDP over his eligibility, did threaten his status as the party’s candidate in the state.
The letter, dated December 9, 2014, and signed by secretary to the commission, Mrs Augusta Ogakwu, quoted a suit instituted by one Adelowo Aremu against the PDP.
The letter confirmed the receipt of the order of a Federal High Court in Abuja in respect of the suit.
It was only a matter of time.
