Buhari is a sectional President - Fayose

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state yesterday took another swipe at President Muhammadu Buhari over the appointment of Prof Mahmood Yakubu as the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Fayose claimed that the appointment of Yakubu, a northerner by President Buhari - also a northerner- has gone a step further in proving that Buhari is a sectional president who is shortchanging the southern part of the country, especially the Southwest.

He cited examples of past Presidents and Heads of States who didn't appoint people from their region to head the Electoral Commission to back his claim.

Drama, as Saraki refuses to enter dock at Tribunal

Drama ensued at the Code of Conduct Tribunal yesterday, during the trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki, as he refused to step into the dock when his case was called.

Saraki’s refusal to leave his seat for the dock led to an argument between his lead counsel,
Mahmud Magaji (SAN), and the prosecutor, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN).

According to Jacobs, once a person's case is called, he or she should step into the dock, irrespective of their status.
Magaji argued that there was no need for Saraki to enter the dock, citing Section 22(m) of the Evidence Act to buttress his submission.

Tribunal chairman, Justice Danladi Umar however overruled Magaji, directing him to ask Saraki into the dock.

I've not and will not forgive Ruggedman- 9ice

Abolore Akande popularly known as 9ice has stated it that he has not forgiven Ruggedman and he is not willing to do so.

The two former music legends clashed in 2010 after 9ice recorded a song titled ‘Once Bitten’; the song was a story about how he caught his lover having an affair.

Many people at that time thought the song was referring to his then wife Toni Payne and Ruggedman having an affair, both parties have denied this rumor several times in the past.

In a recent interview with ‘Entertainment Splash’ on TVC, 9ice said he is still not on good terms with Ruggedman, and that the rapper has not apologized.

9ice however stated that Ruggedman never slept with Toni Payne.

“Ruggedman did not sleep with Toni Payne, he dare not do that” he said, and added “Iyawo ole ni won ma ngba” which means “it is only a lazy man’s wife that can be taken away.”

9ice said he hasn’t forgiven Ruggedman for interfering in another man’s matter.
