It is a dilemma when the Governorship candidate of the PDP, Sim Fubara is left in the dark and only hopes that Tinubu wins to help him using the Courts. It’s a dilemma when Amaechi’s loyalists, which includes my humble self, have to support APC in the state for Tonye Cole to win the Governorship. A dilemma is when Tonye Cole is forced to deliver…

There seems to be some motivation for this level of vandalism…Goshhhh…”; another state, “The level of destruction is so much that I don’t know what this destruction would bring. May Almighty Allah continue to protect this nation.” It appears other banks (such as Access…
The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Federal House of Representatives candidate, Remo Federal Constituency, Asiwaju Bolarinwa Oluwole, has been drawn to online publications by the Media Aide to the Ogun State government, one Mr Ojo Emmanuel, where he alleged that Asiwaju Oluwole orchestrated the naira scarcity crisis in Sagamu today. We must state categorically that the allegations are not only dishonest, devoid of facts, irresponsible but senseless and unbecoming of a government in power. We are least surprised that such spurious lies came from a government that has failed and succeeded in improverishing the people of the state.…

What an irony! The operational network of Zenith Bank has collapsed for over a week now. No customer can transfer a farthing of their own savings out to other banks. Neither can they fish out as much as one kobo for their own use through Zenith ATMs. Gripped with ignominy, the bank’s officials are seen on video scaling the fence at the back to escape irritated customers massed up in the banking hall. This bank was where the current Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, left as Group Managing Director to take his current seat in…
