Abuja –  The Nigeria Police on Friday insisted that it acted professionally to forestall mayhem on Thursday’s commotion at the National Assembly. The Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Emmanuel Ojukwu, made this known when he briefed newsmen on police role on Thursday’s commotion at the National Assembly.

The spokesman explained that some hoodlums accompanied some of the lawmakers and refused to be checked at the gate. This led to the closure of the gate when the House of Representatives speaker tried to gain entrance into the National Assembly premises. He said that the policemen acted profe...

"You remember emergency rule started in May, 2013 and therefore, we have done three extensions. If we had extended today, that would have been...

A House of Representatives aspirant on the party’s ticket for Esan-West/Esan Central/Igueben Federal Constituency, Edionwele in this interview challenges proposals for automatic ticket for members of the National Assembly saying it is only the will of the people that will prevail. Excerpts: O n the decision of the President to give automatic tickets to Senators It will not stand the test of time because it is the will of the people that will prevail, it is the electorate that will decide who will go back to the National Assembly. And it is going to be based on your performance and not by arrangement with anybody.

FOUNDER of Fight Against Desert Encroachment, FADE, Chief Newton Jibunoh, is one of the respected leaders of Delta State. He hails from Delta North senatorial district, whose people (Anioma) want to produce the next governor of the state, but the Delta Central senatorial district (Urhobo) through the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, stated, last week,   that it would not happen. Chief Jibunoh in this interview he knew about the fears of the Urhobo people and suggested a way out. Excerpts: A re  you worried by the number of aspirants from Delta North in the governorship race? When I saw the number of Anioma aspirants, 15 or more or them, I was a bit disturbed, but on second thought, I think it is good because we have potential governors, who believe in themselves, which goes to show that we have been politically emancipated. I do not think that a lot of people can boast of that number from one senatorial district. The number does not bother me anymore. The Urhobo Prog...

Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan is also good to go. Like his other colleagues, the destination point in 2015 is the Senate to represent Delta South Senat orial district. However, the very popular incumbent Senator James Manager seems poised to give Uduaghan a run for his money and has advised the governor to look elsewhere. So heated up is the political disagreement between Manager and his governor that Uduaghan’s grace like others will be the fact that he has the party structure in his kitty – a verile and potent weapon that is easily the most determinant factor in determining candidates’ emergence.
