Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom said he has not declared for any political party despite the flooding of Makurdi with his campaign posters for the 2019 governorship on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Barely 24 hours after Ortom said the All Progressives Congress (APC) gave him a red card, his campaign posters bearing the PDP symbol for 2019 governorship race took over the streets of Makurdi, the capital.
The posters were put in strategic places alongside the earlier ones with APC symbol, but they did not bear the picture of Deputy Governor Benson Abounu.
But in a telephone interview with The Nation, Ortom said he was yet to declare for any political party.
He said: “Like I said earlier, I have been given a red card and I’m without a party. Maybe those who want to sign me are behind the posters, but I am yet to join any party.”
This is coming after new APC chairman, Adams Oshiomhole says, Ortom was still part of the party.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will present the Certificate of Return to the Ekiti State governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, TODAY.
The deputy governor-elect, Chief Bisi Egbeyemi, will also receive his Certificate of Return at the ceremony.
The ceremony is slated for 11:00 a.m. at the state INEC headquarters along new Iyin Road in Ado-Ekiti.
Fayemi, who represented the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election, defeated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola and 33 other candidates to win Saturday’s governorship election in the state. Fayemi will be inaugurated on October 16.

Shockingly, the new mom stepped out to a salon in Atlanta to make her hair (one would have thought she would have opted for home service) and a fan secretly took pics of her and shared online.
You could see Cardi still rocking a slight bump and just giving the I don’t care attitude, I am a mom and that’s all that matters, lol. Two mom pics of her below…

Floyd Mayweather ($285 mil in pretax annual earnings), captures the top spot on Forbes’ 20th annual Celebrity 100 ranking of the world’s highest-paid celebrities (p. 106 in Forbes’ August 31, 2018 magazine issue).

According to Facebook User, Ifeanyị Ọnwụnemea who claims members of a Catholic Church in Owerri ignored the burial ceremony of one of their own because he was owing choir dues. Ifeanyi said the choristers refused to attend the burial and the church is gradually becoming something else. He wrote;
''Because Chima couldn’t pay all his Choir dues, his Church Choir – Immaculate Conception Parish, Owerri – refused to attend and sing at his Burial Mass.
Some of the said Parish members only arrived at his graveside just to show pretence.
That’s too bad for a boy who had been an ORPHAN. Sincerely, the Catholic Church is gradually becoming a monumental disappointment.''
