The pro-Atiku group described the statement by the BMO as vacuous and crass, saying it reeks of desperation to blackmail, to distract, and to stoke controversy. In a statement issued by its chairman, Fredrick Nwabufo, the group said the Social Investment Programme lacked sincerity and transparency.

It was by no means remarkable or unexpected that Manchester City should dominate the derby against United. The gulf in class is evident, and as Paul Scholes pointed out afterwards, his United side never faced a City team that was this good. Still, the fact that nine of United’s starting XI predate Jose Mourinho at the club is an eyebrow-raiser and further confirmation of how much water has been treaded at Old Trafford. (The two who weren’t, Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic, aren’t much to write home about.) It also felt as if City never quite got out of third…

Fernandinho has said that Manchester City are trying to give him as much as rest as possible with no direct alternative for his holding midfield role. Pep Guardiola wants two players for every position and had wanted to bring in Jorginho in the summer but missed out when the Italy international followed manager Maurizio Sarri to Chelsea from Napoli instead. City have been looking at alternatives, with Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong and Wolves’ Ruben Neves scouted as potential long-term replacements. But Fernandinho, 33, has revelled in the extra responsibility this season and was again outstanding in the 3-1 derby…
