Kwara Can Not Be Part Of The South West.- Saraki

Senate President Bukola Saraki says the people of Kwara will resist plans to “annex’’ the state to the South West Zone using the All Progressives Congress and its candidates in the forthcoming general elections. Saraki spoke on Tuesday at Bode Saadu, headquarters of Moro Local Government Area, at the official flag off of the campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party. “This election is not about me or our governorship candidate, Razak Atunwa. It’s about this state, our tradition. Time will tell about whatever we do today. “We went back to PDP because we need a government that will care for our people, give jobs to our people,’’ he said. He appealed to the people of the state, particularly the electorate, to ignore any differences they may have with all the candidates of the party and vote massively for PDP during the general elections. Speaking in the same vein, the Director-General of the PDP Campaign Council in Kwara, Prof. Abubakar Suleiman, urged the party faithful to vote for PDP. According to him, the coming general elections would be between the indigenes of Kwara and non-indigenes. “Kwara belongs to the North, we will not allow Kwara to be taken away from us to the West. “Our leader is Dr Bukola Saraki, our president is Abubakar Atiku, our incoming governor is Atunwa,’’ he said. Also speaking, Gov. Abdufatah Ahmed of Kwara said the flag-off campaign would usher in another PDP government in the state and Nigeria. “You can all see hunger, poverty in the last three years of APC government. We want to bring in PDP to change the narrative. We shall usher in PDP government in Nigeria and Kwara,” he said. The state chairman of the PDP, Hon. Kola Shittu, said only a PDP government would be beneficial to the people of the state and Nigerians in general. ” A PDP government will provide jobs for our youths. Many people have decamped to PDP because of our leader’s sincerity and people-oriented programmes,” he said. In his remarks, the PDP governorship candidate, Abdulrazak Atunwa, promised to run a government that would focus on the welfare of the people. “ Our government shall provide jobs for the people. Women will also be empowered,’’ he said. https://punchng.com/well-resist-plans-to-annex-kwara-to-south-west-zone-saraki-vows/

"We're not doing a wall. Does anyone have any doubt that we're not doing a wall?

The new US House of Representatives, which is now controlled by Democrats, has approved legislation to end a two-week partial government shutdown without funding President Donald Trump's proposed wall along the border with Mexico. The lower chamber on Thursday - the 13th day of the shutdown - passed six bills to fund the government for 2019 and an additional bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security through February 8. However, the impasse is likely to remain as the Republican-controlled Senate is expected to block the legislation amid veto threats by the White House. Following a meeting between Trump and top congressional leaders on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the body would not take up the Democratic legislation because Trump wouldn't sign it. But the new House speaker, veteran Democrat Nancy Pelosi, stood firm shortly before Thursday's vote, saying no funding for a border wall would be made available. "We're not doing a wa...
