A political movement proposed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo is launching this Wednesday at the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, Nigeria’s capital. Obasanjo suggested the formation of the movement in his recent critical special statement on President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration. The former president had argued in the statement that the ruling All Progressives Congress and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party were incapable of repositioning Nigeria, having lost the confidence of the electorate. Obasanjo is not present at the ongoing launch in Abuja, but two former PDP governors, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Donald Duke, were in attendance. Mr. Oyinlola, a former governor of Osun State, said the movement is not yet a political party.

He acknowledged that for the movement to make electoral im

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Rev. Matthew Kukah, on Tuesday said fighting corruption and fixing Nigeria required more than a God-fearing leader. Kukah said this at the launch of a book titled “The Shadow List’’ written by Dr Todd Moss and organised by the African Centre for Media and Information Literacy in Abuja. He said that to fight corruption and build the nation was not just about goodwill but about getting to the root of the matter and tackling it head-on. “I have said it severally; let Nigerians keep saying they want a God-fearing leader. “Nigeria does not need a God-fearing leader, because God-fearing has become an excuse to appeal to Nigerians and win elections. “Governance in Nigeria is a criminalized enterprise and a criminalized state cannot progress; so we must come to terms as to why it is that this country is in such low portion. “Fixing this country requires much more than that; national cohesion, holding our country together is the most fund

Aubameyang is reported to be on the verge of joining Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in a transfer fee believed to be in the neighbourhood of £60 million.

A rat having its bath was caught on camera calmly rubbing soap into its fur, even pausing to scrub its armpits clean. CATERS NEWS AGENCY: The tiny creature was filmed in the sink of a bathroom in Peru The bizarre video – reportedly filmed in a Peruvian DJ’s bathroom sink – shows the rodent perfectly balanced on its hind legs as it rubs down its coat.

Tuomas Aivelo, a researcher in urban rat biology at the University of Helsinki in Finland, has now said it was “totally possible” that the rat was in pain from the soap. He told Gizmodo: “The movements are pretty strange. A rat wouldn’t do that unless there’s something it really wants to get rid of.” CATERS NEWS AGENCY: DJ Jose Correa, 36, said: ‘He was just like a human, I’ve never seen anything like it’ He added: “It just wants to get rid
