Edo state Governor, Patrick Obaseki has won the Peoples Democratic Party's Governorship primary election. The Election Committee Chairman and also the Governor of Bauchi state announced he won 1,952 out of 2020 votes cast. In his speech after being chosen to be the flag bearer of PDP in the coming September election he said: 

“With today’s election, we have demonstrated again that no mountain is too high to stop the aspiration of a people that have put their faith in God and that is called by God to make life better for the greater majority of her people. 

“I must admit that there was a time in this struggle when as a mere mortal, I was almost tempted to quit but I thank God for my family, friends, my colleagues governors, my brothers, of course.

“Let me use this opportunity to thank the chairman of the PDP governor’s forum, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto State and other colleagues, particularly, governor Wike of Rivers State and others who have encouraged me to move on.

“My desire to improve the quality of lives of Edo people has been my daily driving force and also my greatest incentive”, Obaseki said.

He promised to be magnanimous in victory but will  always remember that PDP as a party provided him with shelter when he was being drenched by the rain.

“I want to thank those who are leaders of our great party who have provided us that shelter under that large umbrella in the Sun when we were pushed out by the broom.

“We are actually grateful to those who emphatically told me Governor Goodwin Obaseki anywhere you go, we will follow. That was an encouragement.

“I was humbled by this such love and I am challenged by it to confront any man-made barriers that will stand in our way to progress in Edo State.

“We could not have overcome our political adversaries without prayers and guardians of our traditional rulers, religion and all Edo people particularly, our father, the Oba of Benin Kingdom.

“With your continued support, we will make Edo greater than we met it. As children of God, we will be magnanimous in victory but we will not forget that when the rain was beating us, PDP provided us with umbrella”, he said.

The governor implored the people of the state to keep faith with him as he is convinced along with his team that the state can be great again if everyone works together, adding that much achievements have been made and that greater ones are still possible in the years to come.

“Our team is convinced about this and have faith in our people as they have us remain unshaken.

“We have made remarkable improvement in security, job creation among others and we are certain to do more in the coming years.

“I salute all Edo people at home and abroad as well as our friends from other cities but certainly that a better Edo State is possible if we are allowed to lead and not the godfathers to lead.

“I implore you to keep faith and to inform you of the tasks ahead”, Obaseki said.

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

Image
40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

                  We reported on this blog when a rapper August Alsina claimed that he had been in a relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith and that Will Smith gave his blessing. When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina. She revealed this on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in a heart to heart talk with the husband Will Smith. She said it happened while the 2 were separated.          "We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship." "I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken," she countered. The pair have been married since 1997, have two children together, and said they are currently back together after a split. On what Alsina said about Will Smith giving his blessing, making people believe they were in open marriage, Pinkett Smith said,

                 Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele, used a private jet to fly his wife and children to the United Kingdom in violation of the closure of the Nigerian airspace during COVID-19 lockdown across the country. The Nigerian Government had announced that only essential travels will be permitted by air across the country but flight manifest sighted by SaharaReporters shows that  Emefiele used a private jet – a Global Express Bombardier 550 luxury jet with registration number N104DA – belonging to businessman, Aliko Dangote. It costs at least $10,000 per hour – about N3.8m – to fly on this luxury jet.         The flight was operated by Executive Jet Services co-owned by Dangote and Sam Iwajoku – the  same company embroiled in a recent controversy over the violation of the nation’s lockdown  by flying musician, Naira Marley, to Abuja from Lagos to perform at a concert at Jabi Lake Mall.  The jet carried Mrs Margaret Emefiele, his sons – Godwin Pammichukwu Jnr. and
