We are ready to face any mega party that comes on board - Ganduje

The governor of Kano Abdullahi Umar Ganduje disclosed this in an interview with Dailytrust, he also blamed the Jonathan Administration for the current situation of the country. He also said, APC is ready for any mega party that may likely to come up.


''At the national level, it is being speculated that some political bigwigs would come up with a platform to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)''

 ‘’Most of the problems, especially those of the economy, were created by the former administration. If Buhari didn’t come on board, I don’t know where the people from the North would have been by now because of the issue of Boko Haram. Curtailing Boko Haram was not in sight; the military was corrupt, the police was corrupt and there was no political will by the president to tackle such problems. The international community had lost confidence in our honesty and political will to curtail Boko Haram. By the time Buhari came in, most local governments in Yobe and Borno were in the hands of Boko Haram.’’


‘’People are talking of the economy and forgetting what Buhari has done in the area of security. During his campaign, Buhari promised to tackle the problem of insecurity, corruption and the economy because they are intertwined. Has he not tackled the problem of insecurity? Is he not doing same for corruption and the economy? Is agriculture not gradually taking its rightful position even though it needs time to do that? We don’t have the money for foreign exchange. Is it his fault that the price of fuel has come down? Is it his fault that the production is low because of the Avengers? So all these things put together, we are ready to face any mega party that comes on board. We have our facts and figures about the APC government.’’

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...
