Masari Youth Vanguard coordinator decamped to PDP

The foundation of Katsina State’s APC was shook as one of its iconic youths figure and Masari Youth Vanguard (MYV) [not Masari’s youth coordinator as we erroneously reported yesterday] coordinator Alhaji Mustapha Radd decamped to the states’ biggest opposition party -the PDP, recently.

KatsinaPost reported: In an exclusive phone call interview with KATSINA POST, Mustapha Radda stated unequivocally that he decided to part way with the current government under the leadership of Governor Aminu Bello Masari.
When KATSINA POST asked him why he took the decision, he said that it is because -according to him – the government has drifted away from its focus and has equally loose people trust and confidence including his despite leading the youth wing during the campaign struggles.
When asked whether he has tried to advice the governor on what he perceived to be wrong with his government before taking his decision of decamping, he replied in the affirmative.
Further more, KATSINA POST asked Mustapha Radda if his decision to decamp to PDP was because he was not given any appointment, he said that although he was not given the appointment and despite the fact that he deserve such as it is only fair for him to be given the appointment, he further stated that what prompt for his decision was clearly the lack of direction of the current government.
Mustapha Radda also exclusively told KATSINA POST that he decamped to PDP and also pitched tent with Alhaji Umar Abdu Tsauri Tata.
When contacted for the APC’s version of the story, the Personal assistant to the Director, Masari Restoration Awareness Forum, Yakubu Sabo Musa, he confirmed that Mustapha Radda has indeed decamped to PDP but said it was purely because of his selfish interest and not the “lack of direction of the current government” as he claimed.

Arsenal’s Wenger concerned by Chinese spending power

Arsene Wenger fears the huge wages being offered by big-spending Chinese clubs could cause problems when the Premier League teams look to negotiate new contracts with their star players.  Wenger is currently locked in talks with Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez as the pair reportedly seek parity with the best-paid players in the Premier League. The Arsenal manager is hoping for successful resolutions to those contract stand-offs, but he believes the money on offer in the China Super League may persuade the Premier League’s star names to ask for even bigger pay packets to stay in England. Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been linked with a move to China, with an offer of £600,000-per-week ($739,000) reportedly on the table for the Spain international. Two of his former Chelsea team-mates, Oscar and John Obi Mikel, have already moved to Super League outfits, while former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez became the highest-earning player in the world when h...

Record signing, Oscar lands in Shanghai to join SIPG

 Brazilian midfielder Oscar landed in Shanghai on Monday where the 25-year-old was set to smash the Asian transfer record with a reported 60 million euros ($63 million) deal with Shanghai SIPG. Dozens of supporters chanting club songs swarmed the former Chelsea player at the city’s Pudong airport. Oscar’s arrival in the Chinese Super League comes ahead of that of Argentina’s former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who signed for Shanghai Shenhua in another big-money deal last week.  Tevez’s transfer fee was 10.5 million euros, according to the website transfermarkt.com, which tracks dealings in the sport, though the reported two-year contract of 38 million euros per season ($40 million) makes him the world’s highest salaried footballer. SIPG’s general manager on Monday dismissed concerns raised by state media of a market bubble in the super-rich Chinese league, arguing prices have to be higher to attract players away from big European leagues. “The leagu...
