<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">An acclaimed presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Umar Ardo, has dropped his intention to join a suit challenging the eligibility of President Goodluck Jonathan to seek re-election in 2015.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">His lawyer, Dr. Abiodun Amuda-Kannike (SAN), on Tuesday bowed to pressure by the seven-man panel of the Supreme Court  which persuaded him to withdraw the appeal in respect of his (Ardo’s) bid to join the main suit.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Ardo had gone to the Supreme Court to challenge the decision of the Court of Appeal in Abuja which disallowed him to join a pending appeal on Jonathan’s eligibility to seek a re-run.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">However, at the scheduled hearing of Ardo’s case on Tuesday, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, who headed the panel, sought to clarify misconceptions about the appeal after counsel for the parties announced their appearances.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Justice Mohammed faulted the basis for filing the appeal which he said was unwarranted and had stalled the hearing of the main suit still pending before the Court of Appeal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Other six members of the appeal panel also took turn to pointedly say that the appeal lacked merit and reminded Amuda-Kannike that his integrity was at stake if he refused to heed to the warning that he should withdraw the appeal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the members of the appeal panel, Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour, told the lawyer that the Court of Appeal rightly dismissed Ardo’s application to join the suit as an appellant on the grounds that the leave of the court was not sought before applying to be joined.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The CJN also particularly frowned on an invitation by Ardo’s appeal seeking the apex court’s pronouncement on the merit of the main case still pending before the Court of Appeal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Justice Mohammed said, “We can’t wear the shoe of the Court of Appeal. We cannot sit down here and decide on the merit of the main appeal which is still pending before the Court of Appeal. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“We don’t have the jurisdiction to do so. The constitution does not give us such power.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He urged Amuda-Kannike to withdraw the suit so that the Court of Appeal could reach a decision on the matter.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The CJN said, “Allow the Court of Appeal to decide on the substantive suit. All of us, including your client, cannot be parties in a suit.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“One person can file a suit on constitutional issue and the court will make a decision that will be beneficial to all.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Amuda-Kannike who was on his feet throughout the proceedings tried in futility to convince the apex court to hear the appeal.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He later bowed to prayer by applying for the withdrawal of the appeal.</span></div>

I Didn't Snatch Doris Simeon's Husband - Stella Damasus

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Interview By Emma Emerson, Golden Icons</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The long-awaited interview with Stella Damasus is finally out!!  In this exclusive interview with <i>Emma Emerson</i> of Golden Icons, Damasus spoke candidly about her career, current/future projects, late husband, kids, and explicitly about being called “a husband snatcher”, because of her current relationship with renowned and multiple award winning Director/Producer Daniel Ademinokan. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
  </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To clear the air regarding the nature of her relationship with Ademinokan based on several speculations, Damasus said she was not going to give a name to what they have together and specifically said ‘The real deal between Daniel and I is the real deal’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also know that she has a new song titled <i>‘The Man’</i> which is expected to be released on December 20, 2014; but based on the candid no holds-barred interview, she made it officially known who her man is; which makes us believe she might be referring to Daniel Ademinokan in the song, and that is why we just can’t wait to hear the track.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Excerpts:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 She said: “Let me put it this way. Let me help you hit the nail on the head. One of the comments I have seen consistently, over and over again, is ‘Stella snatches somebody’s husband’, ‘Stella the husband snatcher’, which is what has been going on. And I had sworn that I would never talk about it, or even listen or stress myself about this thing but I have decided to do this now, so that I end this once and for all.   </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"First of all, let me paint a picture for you and you let me know what makes sense to you. When I looked up the word snatch or steal, ehh, let’s go to the dictionary. It means, forcefully taking something away from its original position. Forcefully. From its original position to another position. Something that does not belong to you. That’s what I gathered from the word snatch or steal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"So I looked at me, Stella, and I wondered to myself, how is it possible to go to somebody’s home, and take a man, and take his son, away from his home and say follow me. You are a man, and according to their story, he is happily married inside his home. With his family complete and I walk into that home, to forcefully take a man, abled bodied man, and a kid, away from somebody’s hand and you are there looking at me. How does that work?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Did they accuse me of using voodoo? Yes or no? They said no. Okay, did I put a gun on anybody’s head and remove somebody from somewhere? They said no. So logically, if people actually sit down and think about it intelligently, how do you snatch somebody from somebody and the person is there looking at you? </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"So when you see a man who has settled ties with a woman and decides to move on with his life and you feel that there is something in this man that you like and he likes you. I am not a kid. I am 36 years old. I am not about to start hiding myself. I was waiting for somebody to actually ask me this question, because all I have heard for the past two, three years are rumours. They said, blogs said, this said. Nobody has been bold enough to confront me and ask me. So I say, if I steal something from somebody, and the person is really the owner of the thing, you come and ask me, ‘you took something from me, give me back’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"But nobody was able to do that. And I am like, if I meet an able bodied man that has left and moved on. That is not even in the same house with whoever and is not doing anything with whoever, and both parties have decided this thing is not going anywhere, and they have gone their separate ways, why is it that easier for the world to blame the woman that the man has decided to end up with?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Why is it that it is always that woman that scattered that home? The two people that did things that nobody was there, nobody said something must have happened between these two people but it is always somebody else that is the problem. And I always say, I do not tolerate blaming anybody for your own problems. I have had problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"After my late husband’s death, I got married again and the marriage didn’t work. After eight (8) months, it crashed. People didn’t hear much about it, why? We were both mature to understand that we came together, we knew that the thing was not working, instead of us to become enemies we will remain friends, let’s just let it go quietly. And we let it go quietly. I didn’t blame anybody else for doing it, he didn’t blame anybody else for doing it. So I am wondering, two people come together they go their separate ways, this one meets somebody, all of a sudden, it is that somebody that is the problem. Did anybody ever ask, what went wrong? Why would a man pick up his son and walk away from his marriage?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Was there anytime another woman was the problem until the man moved on with another woman? Nobody brought up Stella’s name, then all of a sudden, ‘oh he’s moved on with somebody else (snaps fingers), it must be her’. How? I am still waiting for somebody to come with proof to say ‘oh when they were still in marriage, when they were still in a house, you came and did this.’ So the reason why I don’t like talking about it is that, there are some things I would say to you and you would look at me like ‘oh wow’ but I don’t want to be derogatory, I don’t want to tow the line that other people have towed by talking bad about people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I would never do that but the stories started coming. At first I ignored it, I just kept quiet, and then it was all over the place, Google, blogs, and I am like, one day, one day, I would tell my story. There’s a reason why I am respecting certain people, respecting certain legal issues that are going on. So there might be some things I may not hammer on, but whenever you hear this person snatched this person’s, you will ask the person, the person that they said was the original owner, what was the person doing when they were snatching the person from him or her? I don’t get it. Do you understand?"</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A marathon meeting by the leaders of the All Progressives Congress ended in the early hours of Tuesday(today) without a consensus on the running mate for the party’s presidential candidate, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike the national convention/ primary which produced Buhari on Thursday without much rancour, the meeting which started at about 10:30pm on Monday and ended at about 1:58am on Tuesday was said to have been characterised by intense horse-trading.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Different caucuses of the APC had started a series of meetings which culminated in a larger one that had all the party’s governors and leaders in attendance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The National leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, did not attend the enlarged caucus meeting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before the enlarged meeting which held at the Rivers State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, rose, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha had left.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They did not return as of 12:50am when Buhari and some other participants, including seven governors, started filing out of the lodge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although the reason for their action could not be ascertained, <i>The PUNCH</i> learnt that the National Working Committee of the party would ratify one of the shortlisted vice-presidential aspirants on Tuesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The aspirants being considered are Governors Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Babatunde Fashola (Lagos), Adams Oshiomhole (Edo) and a former Lagos State Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Yemi Osibajo.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another leader of the party also confirmed the stalemate, saying “We have not picked anybody yet.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC chieftain said the governors and Tinubu, were engaged in serious calculations about the viability of aspirants being proposed.</div>

Obasanjo Confiscates 'My Watch'

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">By Chidi Chima, TheCable</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Those eager to get copies of <i>“My Watch”</i>, the three-volume memoirs of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, will have to wait for longer as the author has “confiscated” the printed copies until a court order is vacated. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An Abuja high court had on December 5 issued an order that the book should not be published or promoted following a motion on notice filed by Kashamu Buruji, who complained that he was libelled in the publication. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Obasanjo went ahead with the public presentation and Justice Valentine Ashi, in ruling that the former head of state was guilty of contempt, directed the Inspector General of Police, Director-General of State Security Service and Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Services to confiscate the book. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also ordered that copies be seized from media houses, apparently to prevent the publication of excerpts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The security agencies, however, will not gain access to the copies as the former president now has them under lock and key. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Baba (Obasanjo) does not want any copy of the book confiscated by any government agency so he asked the publishers to hand them over to him,” a former minister and friend of the retired general told TheCable. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only those who got copies at the book presentation currently have the publication as many Nigerians are eager to read the memoirs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He is in court to get the order vacated, after which he will release the book to the enthusiastic public,” the source added. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Five governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had visited Obasanjo, <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/revealed-what-obasanjo-actually-told.html">unsuccessfully trying to persuade him to delay the release of the book</a></b> till after the February 2015 elections because of the strong criticism of the President Goodluck Jonathan contained in it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Nigeria Newsroom</b></i> has run excerpts from chapters relating to President <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/breaking-obasanjos-book-out-declares.html">Goodluck Jonathan</a></b>, late President <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/explosive-yaradua-deceived-me-about-his.html">Umaru Musa Yar’Adua</a></b>, former Vice President <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/i-planted-moles-in-vp-atikus-camp.html">Atiku Abubakar</a></b>, former EFCC Chairman <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/revealed-ribadu-persecuted-for-refusing.html">Nuhu Ribadu</a></b> and the late First Lady, <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/i-wasnt-aware-of-stellas-tummy-tuck.html">Stella Obasanjo</a></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the court hearing, Realwan Okpanachi, counsel to Obasanjo, had told the court that the book was published before the order was granted. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the book had been in circulation since November and the order was made on December 5. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alex Izinyo, counsel to Buruji, said the defendant was trying to deceive the court. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Izinyo argued that the defendant admitted in his motion papers that the book was published on November 10 and in another paragraph, it was also stated that the book was published on November 2. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ashi adjourned to January 13 and 14, 2015, for hearing of the substantive case.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">By Saliu Gbadamosi, Nigerian Tribune</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For allegedly being stubborn, 10-year-old Aliyu Rabiu, has been sent to his early grave by his father.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The father, 43-year-old Rabiu Yusuf, a resident of Maina Maji in Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State, told journalists, on Monday, at the Bauchi State Police Command headquarters, in Bauchi, while being paraded alongside other suspects by the police, that he tortured the boy to death due to his stubbornness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yusuf, who said he never knew his action would lead to the boy’s death, stated that he got infuriated with the deceased, following his running away from his house to stay with his mother, who he had divorced.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to him, he had severally instructed the boy to return home but he refused, saying he had to go and take him home and chained him inside a room so that he would not run away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Trouble started when I divorced his mother and married another wife. My son, Aliyu, followed his mother to her new home and I was not in support of the arrangement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I called Aliyu several times to come back home because I want him to be in my custody as his father, but he refused, so I went to the mother’s home in annoyance and brought him back home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“When I brought him back to my house, I chained him and locked him up inside the room, so that he did not escape and go back to his mother, but unfortunately he died,” Yusuf said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Addressing journalists, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state police command, Haruna Mohammed, informed that Yusuf conspired with one Ismail Idris to kill the deceased.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the police spokesman, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Yusuf chained and detained the boy for a period of 10 days, but he later fell sick as a result of the ill-treatment meted to him by his father. He added that the boy was taken to Rimi Clinic in Bauchi, where he died while receiving treatment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, DSP Mohammed informed that the police arrested one Sale Kawu and Abubakar Abdullahi , both residents of Kafin Yarima village in Bauchi LGA, who criminally conspired and deceived one Mohammed Sani of Kusi village and obtained the sum of N395,000 from him, under false pretence that they would make him rich.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The PPRO added that the suspects gave their victim “a carton containing some dried groundnut leaves and sand, well wrapped with cloths and deceived him that it contained millions of Naira, warning him not to disclose it to anybody.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He informed that the sum of $1000 suspected to be fake, 18 pieces $100 and 126 cut to size paper, were recovered from the house of the suspects upon a search by police.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In another development, DSP Mohammed informed that police detectives from Maina Maji division of the command, arrested a 51-year-old Murtala Rabiu of Rafin Ciyawa village in Ganjuwa LGA and Mohammed Nura Abubakar (23), with two locally made pistols and five rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Monday granted an order of mandamus compelling the Inspector-General of Police, to investigate alleged criminal activities levelled against the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Delivering ruling in the suit number FHC/IB/CS/54/2014 on Monday, Justice Ayo Emmanuel said he was granting the prayers of the applicants since the respondents did not challenge the contents of a 17-paragraph affidavit filed by the applicants in support of their motion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Justice Emmanuel said, “Pursuant to order 34 rules 3(4) of the Federal High Court rules and under the inherent jurisdiction of this honourable court, the prayers are hereby granted.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The applicants, Jacob Oluokun and Sulaimon Ishola, had prayed the court to compel the IGP to investigate the Alaafin in a petition submitted to the IGP dated March 18, 2014 and delivered to the IG on April 17, 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Counsel for the applicants, Mr. Abiodun Abdul-Raheem, had adopted a four-page written address to support the claims of the applicants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The suit was registered on July 7, 2014, while the court sat on the matter on October 6, November 29, December 4 and entered its ruling on December 15, 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While reacting to the ruling, the Chief Press Secretary to Alaafin, Azeez Fehintola, said the ruling was strange to the monarch as the defendant did not know anything about it.</div>

Tompolo To Pick Delta State Deputy Governor

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">By Taiwo George, TheCable</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Militant leader Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has taken over the structure of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta state, and his candidate is set to be named the running mate of Ifeanyi Okowa, the party’s governorship candidate.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a high-ranking member of the party, the influence of Tompolo, who <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/ex-militant-leader-tompolo-buys.html">recently acquired seven warships from Norway</a></b>, has grown to the extent that “he determines who ends up becoming what” in the state chapter of the party. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Everyone is afraid of him. He is fully in control and dictates what happens here in Delta,” the source, who did not want to be named, said. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He is fond of intimidating those who are not in his good books. Recently, the names of some people who won the primary election for the state and national assembly were replaced on his orders. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He uses his influence in Abuja to fight those who are not in his camp. There is so much confusion in Delta right now. Some people who won the party’s ticket would not return. I can confirm to you that the current deputy speaker of the delta state house of assembly, in the person of Basil Ganagana would not return to the house even though he won the primaries.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The source further alleged that not even Emmanuel Uduaghan, governor of the state, can challenge the might of Tompolo. He added that Okowa beat Tony Obuh, the preferred candidate of Uduaghan, to the state governorship ticket due to the influence of Tompolo. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In another instance, he continued, Kingsley Otuaro, a commissioner at the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC) who is also loyal to Tompolo, would emerge as the deputy governorship candidate of the party ahead of the forthcoming election. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“As I speak to you now, everything has been put in place to name Tompolo’s candidate as the running mate of Okowa. This is no secret; it is a well-known fact but everybody is afraid to talk,” the source said. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Do you think it is ordinary that Uduaghan lost in two ways? He dropped his senatorial bid for James Manager and still could not get his candidate to replace him. We all know the reason but who would talk? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The governor is Itsekiri and Tompolo is from Gbaramatu kingdom, the Ijaws, so that factor alone is causing problems between them.” Recently, Lagos lawyer, Festus Keyamo was involved in a dispute with Tompolo over the replacement of Weyinmi Omadeli, the PDP chairmanship candidate in Warri south-west local government with George Ekpemupolo, Tompolo’s younger brother. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The brother is the current chairman of the local government. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some days after Keyamo made the issue public, the lawyer raised an alarm that the militant leader had threatened to kill him, and he petitioned Suleiman Abba, the inspector general of police, over alleged death threat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tompolo, a former commander of Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) once declared “the most wanted man in Nigeria” in 2009 during the administration of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, is known to be a staunch ally of President Goodluck Jonathan.</div>

Recall that the ex-First Lady died on 23 October, 2005, in a botched tummy tuck – elective liposuction – procedure in Spain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The surgery was scheduled towards the commemoration of her 60th birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the former Head of State disclosed that his late wife never told him she was going for ‘tummy work’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Baba, as he’s fondly called made this shocking revelation in his controversial autobiography entitled <i>‘My Watch’</i>, which was released on 8 December, 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obasanjo wrote thus, “After the internment, I decided to look into the circumstances of her death.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I found that part of her 60th birthday anniversary, which was unknown to me, was her operation for her tummy and her shape.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reacting to the rumour that Stella’s death may have been a “sacrifice” he carried out for success in his job, the former president said: “Before the verdict in Spain, I was unaware of what I came to hear later that I might have caused the death of my wife to sacrifice her for success in my job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“That is how wicked and satanic some Nigerians can be in their rumours and mischief.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I instructed that the doctor and the clinic be prosecuted,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The lost life cannot be brought back but the successful prosecution would prevent carelessness and loss of life in the future.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The doctor, according to the former president, was made to pay damages, which was collected by Olu Obasanjo, Stella’s son, and his licence withdrawn for a period of time.</div>
