FAYOSE SET TO NOMINATE IPOB LEADER AS 2019 RUNNING MATE

The social media was on fire on Friday, following the official declaration of the embattled Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, to run for the Presidency, in 2019.

The event that took place at the Golden Hall of Chelsea Hotel, Abuja, saw the likes of the former Minister Of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, endorsing him as the “Future President of Nigeria”.

Post-Nigeria took out time to extract some of the reactions on Twitter, as regards Fayose’s declaration.

It was observed that most Nigerians that expressed their views via Twitter, were against Fayose’s Presidential declaration.

Some of the reactions are as follows: “Fayose should take this thing up a notch, by nominating Nnamdi Kanu as his Vice”, a Twitter user said.

Another tweeted: “Fayose for 2019 Presidency. I won’t waste my time voting, I will wait till 2023. There should be better candidates then.”

“FAYOSE declares for President. With the way we are going, a sick Buhari on a hospital bed might win the 2nd term, if we are not careful”, another source tweeted.

Also tweeting: “Fayose will be President come 2018, because I learnt the inmates in Kiri Kiri do have a President.”

Another twitter source said: “Fayose’s rantings in the name of a declaration in Abuja, really exposed him as a confused clown. We have gone beyond motor park politics.”

Another Twitter user said: “Fayose’s ambition is being dismissed as a joke on twitter, same way his Guber ambition was dismissed as a joke in 2014.”

“Very soon, PDP people will say APC sponsored Fayose to destroy what remained of their party. Same claim made against Sheriff”, another source added.

EMIR OF KASTINA TELLS PRESIDENT BUHARI TO SIGN PEACE CORPS BILL

The Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Usman, has declared support for the Peace Corps bill passed by the National Assembly. The bill, which seeks to turn the Peace Corps, a non-government organisation, into a government paramilitary agency, has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians. Proponents see it as an avenue to create jobs for thousands of youth while critics describe as a duplication of functions already being performed by existing agencies and creation of another bureaucracy at a time the country is finding it difficult to pay workers' salaries. The bill was opposed by existing military and security institutions in Nigeria and the Peace Corps leader Dickson Akoh is currently being prosecuted for alleged fraud. Apart from lawmakers, the bill is also supported by some prominent Nigerians including the Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, who also asked Mr. Buhari to sign to it. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Katsina emir made a similar call on the president on Thursda

NIGERIA'S BREAKUP IS NOT AN OPTION-DAVID MARK

N igerians must move on together as a breakup is not an option, former Senate President, David Mark, said on Friday. “Those who are agitating for otherwise are missing the point. Nigeria has crossed many crucibles. We cannot reverse ourselves,” Mr. Mark told Kaduna State Acting Governor, Alhaji Aminu Shagali, in Kaduna. He was at the head of a delegation of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) 3rd Regular Course Alumni Association on a courtesy visit to the acting governor. “The only option is to move on in a manner that is progressive, peaceful and united,” he was further quoted as saying by his media aide, Paul Mumeh. “We may have our disagreements. But a breakup is not an option. We can resolve our differences through meaningful dialogue and genuine conversation." “There is no use heating up the polity,” the ex-Senate president added. He noted that no matter the imperfections, the nation is greater and better as an indivisible country.
