Suspense as Supreme Court decides Fayose’s fate today

There is an anxiety in Ekiti State as the Supreme Court in Abuja prepared to deliver judgment on Tuesday (today) in the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress against the victory of Governor Ayodele Fayose in the June 21, 2014 governorship election.

 

Fayose, in a state-wide broadcast on Monday, asked residents to maintain the peace and go about their lawful duties.

The governor, who thanked the people for voting overwhelmingly for all the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidates in the Saturday House of Assembly elections, said the victory had confirmed that he had a genuine mandate of the people.

He said that he was sure that he would be vindicated at the end of the day and triumph over whatever plot being hatched to truncate his tenure.

A commercial driver, Ade Bamidele, expressed confidence that the governor would win the case.
A trader, Esther Orji, said the Ekiti people required peace, saying the judgment would remove the tension associated with the election.

The Ekiti Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal had on December 19, 2014 upheld Fayose’s victory and dismissed the APC petition for lack of merit.

Dissatisfied, the APC had gone to the appellate court on the grounds that Fayose was not qualified to stand for the election as a candidate because of his impeachment on October 16, 2006 during his first tenure as governor.

The APC also alleged that the governor forged his academic certificates and violated the Code of Conduct rules.

The five- member panel, chaired by Justice Abdul Aboki, in its judgment on February 16 had upheld the judgment of the Tribunal, which affirmed Fayose as the winner of the June 21, 2014 poll.

Though the Justice Abdul Aboki-led five-man panel dismissed the appeal filed by the APC, it found merit in the appellant’s complaints that the military was used to harass and intimidate its supporters and leaders during the polls.

Dissatisfied still, the APC had gone to the Supreme Court.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared that Fayose polled 203,090 votes to defeat the then incumbent governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, of the All Progressives Congress, who polled 120,433 votes in the election.

North West: Getting Baptized in Israel!

The Kardashians have officially invaded the Middle East, and unlike George Bush circa 2001, they totally have a strategy in mind.

Kim arrived in Armenia last week and was greeted with open arms. She was later joined by her sister Khloe, and the Kardashians met with the Prime Minister for a photo op that we hope will make its way into the Armenian history books.

Kanye and North West joined with Kim and Khloe for what was supposed to be an eight-day visit to Armenia, but the trip was cut short in favor of a jaunt to Israel, and sources are saying the Wests plan to baptize little Nori in Jerusalem.

Kim, Kanye and North are reportedly in Israel for one day only, for the sole purpose of giving North the best baptism of all time!
After that, the Wests tour of the East continues with a brief visit to Jordan.
North was baptized shortly after her birth, but she'll be dunked again in the Holy Land...just to make extra sure, we guess.

Naturally, a Keeping Up With the Kardashians camera crew will be on hand to capture the moment.

General Buhari Will Reduce Petrol From N87 to N40 Per Litre- Prof David West

Former Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Prof Tamunoemi David-West said when Muhammadu Buhari gets on seat, he will reduce the price of fuel from N87 to N40 per litre.

In a telephone interview with Vanguard, David-West said “I want to assure you that by the time he takes over, petrol will be dispensed at N40 per litre. This is possible and he has the credibility to make it work,”
 
David-West served as Minister of Petroleum and energy under Buhari’s regime from 1984-1985. He also said that “The major assignment of the president-elect when he is eventually inaugurated is to restore confidence to the industry,” 

David also stressed that Buhari will do everything to ensure the industry is back to normal. He said Buhari is capable since he’s familiar with the petroleum industry.

According to him, “As military head of state, he dealt with the Federal Executive Council with the tenets of democracy. Buhari will build new refineries to make petroleum products available for the masses. No responsible government will allow the masses to suffer.

“He will strengthen the refineries within a year. It is possible as we won’t spend any amount in setting up a green field refinery.

“We already have a blueprint as we shall use what we have to get what we want,” 

On Buhari’s stance on fuel subsidy, David said the people’s general has always said that the subsidy is a scam.

65-Year Old Mother of 13: Pregnant with Quadruplets!

According Germany's Bild newspaper, this 65-year old is over five months into a pregnancy that will yield her four children, a fact that would be stunning enough on its own... until one considers:
Raunigk is already the mother of 13 children!!!


Raunigk is also a grandmother of seven kids and gave birth at age 55 to her now-youngest daughter.
Thus far, the expecting mother of quadruplets is progressing at a normal and healthy rate.

"Any pregnancy of a woman over age 45 has to be considered a high-risk pregnancy; over 60, this is naturally extreme," Dr. Holger Stepan, head of obstetrics at the University of Leipzig said, tells to The Associated Press.

Stepan adds that the 65-year-old body is definitely not designed to carry a pregnancy, not of one child and certainly not of quadruplets," but Raunigk is defiant:

"How does one have to be at 65? One must apparently always fit some cliches, which I find rather tiring. I think, one must decide that for oneself," she told a German publication.

AFP reports that Raunigk is due this summer, which will reportedly make her the oldest mother to ever give birth to quadruplets.

Let's hope everyone comes out of it happy and healthy.

Bruce Jenner to Appear as a Woman in Diane Sawyer Interview

Here is what we know about the upcoming Bruce interview with Diane Sawyer:
 
It will air on Friday, April 24. It will be titled “Bruce Jenner: The Interview.” Oh, and now there's this:
It will give viewers their first look at Bruce Jenner as a woman.

According to TMZ insiders, Jenner will "present himself" publicly as a female at some point during the ABC special. What does that mean, exactly?

Not that we’ll learn his new name and now that he’ll actually dress differently. Instead, sources say jenner sees this sit-down as the most "significant" event associated with his sex change.
It will mark his coming out. To Bruce, it will be more important than any of the procedures associated with his gender transformation.

As for the actual content of the Q&A?
Look for Jenner to go all the way back to his life at the age of five, when he first identified himself as a woman. He’ll discuss the difficulties he has faced living like a man… but feeling like someone else.

Jenner will also go into detail about the impact his decision has had on KIM and all his loved ones.

The interview, which Bruce hopes will "free" himself and "educate" the public on transgender topics, is just the first step in this star's journey.

He is still booked to anchor a docuseries that will actually track his life as a woman.

Jenner has been trying to get out of the show, but we believe contracts are signed and E! still plans on airing the program. Because of course it does.
