Pdp National chairman race-Daniel vows to return party to its glorious time

AS THE national chairmanship
race of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, gathers momentum,
Otunba Gbenga Daniel, a frontline
aspirant, said he remains the only
crisis manager that can turn around
the fortunes of the party, if given the
mandate.
Addressing party members
in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital,
yesterday, Daniel said he has what it
takes to take the party to an enviable
height where all its lost ground at the
federal, state and local governments
would be reversed in favour of the
party.

The former governor of Ogun
State stated that it was his dexterity
in crisis management that made him
to rule Ogun for two terms, adding
that since he left office, the PDP has
been unable to find its way back to
power in the state.
He urged party leaders in the
state to allow grassroots members
of the party to have a say in order to
enthrone internal democracy.
He stressed that the state was a
stronghold of the party before it
was dethroned in the last general
election due to the error of the
leaders, adding that all hands must
be on the deck to ensure that the
party bounces back to power in the
next dispensation.
Daniel said the error of the party
which led the opposition to take over
government has brought untold
hardship to the people of the state,
as crisis has become synonymous
with Kogi since the advent of the
new administration.
Responding, Engineer Sam
Ohuotu, the state party chairman,
assured him of their support, saying
he remains one of the party leaders
that can restore sanity in the PDP for
it to get back its winning streak.

President of Iran Declares End of ISIS

President Hassan Rouhani of Iran on Tuesday declared the end of Islamic State in an address broadcast live on state TV. A senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Maj.-Gen. Qassem Soleimani, also declared the end of Islamic State in a message sent to the country’s supreme leader Tuesday which was published on Sepah News, the news site of the Guards. Videos and pictures of Soleimani, who commands the Quds Force, the branch of the Guards responsible for operations outside of Iran’s borders, at frontline positions in battles against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have been posted frequently by Iranian media in recent years. On Friday, Iranian media published pictures of Soleimani Kamal in eastern Syria, a town which Soleimani said Tuesday was the last territory retaken from Islamic State control in the region. The Revolutionary Guards, Iran’s most powerful military force which also oversees an economic empire worth billions of dollars, has been fighting in support of S...

EPL: Kelechi Iheanacho might be available for sale in January – Leicester City boss, Puel

Leicester City manager, Claude Puel, has hinted at the possibility of selling Nigeria star Kelechi Iheanacho four weeks before the winter transfer market opens for business. The Foxes have six strikers in the first team consisting of Iheanacho, Vardy, Ahmed Musa, Slimani, Okazaki and Ulloa, and the former Man City starlet has found game time hard to come by after making only two starts in the Premier League from a possible fifteen. Speaking to Leicester Mercury, Puel said: “Kelechi had an injury and for the moment, we have competition. “I am happy with Jamie for example. Kelechi or other players cannot play on the side. “It’s difficult for them, but for me also to manage all these players because we have six strikers so there is no place for all the players.” Iheanacho penned a five-year contract with Leicester City in the summer for a fee in the region of 25 million pounds.

Tech How Alibaba turned an obscure, made-up Chinese holiday into a $17.8 billion shopping extravaganza that's bigger than Black Friday

Alibaba raked in over $8 billion in sales in the first hour of its made-up marketing holiday, "Singles Day." Singles Day has its roots in an obscure Chinese holiday for students who had not married yet. Alibaba CEO Jack Ma capitalized expertly on the holiday, and now, Singles Day dwarfs traditional American shopping holidays like Black Friday, and is much larger than Amazon's "Prime Day." Alibaba turned Singles Day, the Chinese holiday for the single-set, into a huge economic opportunity through a savvy marketing blitz. The company raked in well over $8 billion during the first hour of this year's sale, largely through its online shopping platforms, Taobao.com and Tmall.com as well as a glitzy gala. Students at Nanjing University first celebrated Singles Day in 1993 as an appreciation of, you guessed it — being single. They picked November 11 (11/11) as an ode to the loneliness of the number one. But Single’s Day was never meant to be a somber aff...
