APC Campaign Organsiation has accused Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State of hiring people to stalk it’s Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari in London.
GMB who is reportedly in London for a working visit has been spotted by British Prime Minister, Tony Blair and some Nigerian Governors in the past few days.
Here’s a statement released by the party and signed by Garba Shehu.
“Let it be on record that knowing Governor Fayose’s antecedents, we are not leaving anything to chances. The Governor who has published death-wish advertorials on Buhari will stop at nothing.
If anything should happen to General Muhammadu Buhari while in London or anywhere, the authorities over there in the UK and at home should know who to hold responsible.” APC wrote.
Asides being over dramatic, unpredictable is another word you can use to describe the self-acclaimed Special One. With the fracas he had with the Gunners boss last year, who would have thought he could say something good about the later.
The Chelsea boss while speaking with Sky Sports’ Goals today expressed his surprise that Arsenal aren’t title challengers despite having a great squad.
“I don’t understand why they are not up there with Chelsea and Manchester City, Arsenal are a team I like very much. They have very good players and Alexis Sanchez is a very important player to add to what they have got. I don’t understand why they are not up there with Chelsea and City. Arsenal are a team I like very much. They are a team for more.”
And then he goes ahead to hail his touchline rival, Wenger.
“He has a dream job, everyone would love to have the security he has of being manager year after year after year. He won so many titles in a certain period and that gave him that credibility he deserves.
He is obviously a fantastic manager. He has a fantastic situation to be successful. When you look at the players in the squad, they are capable of playing very good football.” He added.
A 55-year-old man who refused to leave the hospital after three years has been forcefully ejected by police in Beijing, China.
Chen received treatment at Beijing Jingmei Group Hospital in August 2011 after having an accident. He returned to the hospital months later after complaining of pains in his legs.
He was diagnosed of deep vein thrombosis and treated for another three months. After the treatment he was certified okay and told to go home but he refused saying the hospital should be responsible for his welfare.
He chained himself down to his bed even after the hospital took legal actions against him.
“I have never taken a shower or left the hospital in the past three years. I even missed my son’s wedding,” he said.
His insistence prompted the intervention of the police who cut the chain and bundled him out of the building.
Souleymane S, the man who was racially abused by 3 Chelsea supporters who denied him entry into a train in Paris last Thursday has declined Jose Mourinho’s invitation to see the second leg of the match at Stamford Bridge on March 11.
