AC loses
confidence in voters’ registration
The Action Congress (AC) said it had lost confidence in the
ongoing voters’ registration exercise, following the discovery
of eight Direct Data Machines in the private residences of PDP
officials in Ogbomoso and Ibadan within a week.
In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Muhammad, in Abuja yesterday, the party said only a thorough
investigation by the police to find out the extent to which the
ruling party officials have hijacked the machines for illegal
registration and the full prosecution of those implicated in the
fraud could restore its confidence in the exercise.

Vice
President Atiku Abubakar |
My
grouse with Atiku, by Obj
President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the increasingly sour
relationship between him and Vice-President Atiku Abubakar is
due to fight against corruption as even he said some PDP
gubernatorial candidates will be shown the way out before the
election.
According to him, the fact remains that not all the successful
candidates that got PDP ticket to vie for governorship position
in their various states will eventually do so.

Amun says Galadima better leader...
Regrets being party to his removal
The leadership of the National Sports Commission, NSC, have
recalled the outgoing Secretary General of Nigeria Football
Association, NFA, Fanny Amun, Nigeriansportsonline.com reports.
Amun’s recall may not be unconnected with the sordid drama that
played up at the NFA secretariat, Abuja Monday when the man who
led the Golden Eaglets to Japan in 1993 to win the FIFA U-17
World Cup blatantly refused to hand over to the new NFA scribe,
Bolaji Ojo-Oba.
