The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is reconsidering participating in the forthcoming 2019 general elections.

Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, said this when he received a Joint International Election Observation Mission fielded by two main American international civil agencies, the National Democratic Institute, (NDI) and the International Republican Institute (IRI), at the party headquarters in Abuja, yesterday July 19th.

“We are yet to take the decision whether we will participate or not, we are no longer confident in INEC or in our own security'' he told the election observers. In Ekiti state governorship election last Saturday, we did not contest with APC, we contested with INEC and Security agencies. For us as an opposition party, we have lost confidence in INEC and security agencies” Secondus said.

The party chairman described what happened in Ekiti State as not just electoral fraud but robbery in connivance with INEC and security agencies. ACcording to him, the party is consulting with its relevant organs in the review of Ekiti election to reconsider their position on 2019 general elections. He said a situation where bodies that should be neutral in a contest are brazenly helping to manipulate the process in favour of one party is antithetical to democracy and is a dangerous signal.

Secondus added that there were clear indications for all to see that the ruling APC is scheming to engineer more crisis in the land to enable them to manipulate the electoral process in their favour in connivance with security agencies.

A 24-year-old notorious car thief, Yemi Adeoye, says he specialized in stealing Honda cars because they were easy to unlocked and disposed off. Adeoye who was paraded alongside other criminals at the Ondo state police headquarters yeterday July 19th, is said to have stolen about 32 Honda CRVs in the last two years.



Speaking with newsmen, Adeoye said he stole three Honda cars recently because he had a case in court and he needed money to settle his lawyer.

“I sold two Honda CRV at the sum of N680,000 to feed myself and to pay my lawyer for his service because I have a pending case in the court. I gave the two cars to Abiola Anifowose who is a vulcanizer. He sold them to Ayeni Paul who is a tailor,” he said.

The police command's spokesperson, Femi Joseph, said Adeoye was arrested in Shasha area of Akure while trying to steal a Toyota Corolla belonging to one Olanipekun. Joseph said the command has arrested Adeoye more than three times, wondering why he always secured his release in court.

“After the suspect was arrested, he confessed to specializing in stealing of Honda cars and Jeeps. Another suspect, Waheed Anifowose, a vulcanizer, who specialised in selling all vehicles stolen by Adeoye was also arrested,” Joseph said.

The PPRO said three vehicles including one Toyota Corolla car with registration number SS 719 AAA and two Honda CRV Jeeps as well as master keys were recovered from the other suspects.

Chief Segun Odegbami, a former Super Eagles footballer has declared his intention to vie for governorship in Ogun State on the platform of the Labour Party.

During the event, the legendary footballer said education and health will get more attention if he is elected as the governor of Ogun State in 2019.

Odegbami, while declaring at the party secretariat at Quarry Road in Abeokuta, promised to give people’s welfare adequate attention. He said, “our government, which would be led by the Labour Party, will provide quality education and health care delivery system by building hospitals where necessary. Necessary facilities for proper care, including drugs and personnel, would be provided. I believe that only the people with sound health can work and even enjoy amenities provided by the government.” 

He noted that hospitals in Nigeria had turned to mortuary because they lacked the necessary facilities they needed to save lives. Odegbami cited the instance of his mother, who he said the medical doctors had written off and he took her abroad for medical attention and she lived for another 11 years before she died. 

On education, the football legend, while berating the falling standard of education in the country, said his government would provide education that would make graduates employable and as well as provide jobs for other people. 

The Labour Party Chairman in Ogun State, Mr  Abayomi Arabambi, while welcoming Odegbami and other party supporters, frowned on the failure of the  All Progressives Congress-led government in the state to solve various challenges confronting the people in the state.

Former Arsenal coach, Arsene Wenger who spent 22 years with the club has said he regrets saying in the club for this period of time.
In an interview monitored on Sky News, the former Arsenal Manager was quoted to have said, “I regret having sacrificed everything I did because I realize I’ve hurt a lot of people around me. Deep down though, the obsessed man is selfish in his pursuit of what he loves. He ignores a lot of other things. But it’s a bone to chase at the same time.” 

The Frenchman, who is still without a club, said he would make a decision on his future in the next few months. When asked about the biggest error of his career, Wenger replied: “Perhaps staying at the same club for 22 years.”

Wenger said he’d had “numerous” opportunities to take charge of France, but he turned them down because he had “always been more interested in the day-to-day aspect of management”.
