The road to Aso Rock Villa 2023: Tinubu offers clear-cut leadership - Hon. Ahmad

Sen Bola Tinubu

The National coordinator Tinubu Transformation Agenda (TITAN), Hon. A. B. Ahmad, affirmed that the political permutations ahead of 2023 Presidential quest are not to be discussed at the moment as President Muhammadu Buhari just inaugurated his cabinet to deliver on the Next Level agenda of his second term in office.

Hon. Ahmad of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who spoke in confidence of his party's commitment to addressing the needs of ordinary Nigerians stated that President Buhari was dedicated to deliver on his campaign promises and that is what matters for now.

The veteran academician, in an interview with newsmen in Minna, the capital city of Niger State, was questioned on the permutations ahead of 2023 and the chances of Tinubu emerging as the Presidential Candidate of the APC.

“I wouldn't want to deliberate on the politics of 2023 as it is still early days to dabble into such discussions”, Hon Ahmad stated.

“As you are aware, His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari just inaugurated his Next Level cabinet to deliver on his campaign promises to Nigerians. That's what Nigerians are looking forward to. Our party and Mr President's cabinet are of course committed to meeting the aspirations of ordinary Nigerians.”

Hon. Ahmad further explained that "although TITAN had been inaugurated as an advocacy group by those of us who believe in the capacity of Sen. Bola Tinubu to offer our nation clear-cut leadership as well as consolidate on the fundamental underpinnings of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration should he emerge as president in 2023, you're aware Sen Tinubu is yet to declare his interest to run for the highest political office of our land.

“My emphasis, however, is that the question of 2023 permutations shouldn't arise at the moment as all of us who are of the Progressive family are committed to supporting the Next Level agenda of our party to succeed.

“Meanwhile, TITAN as an advocacy group believes in the leadership acumen of Sen. Bola Tinubu to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari should he decide to run for president in 2023,” Hon Ahmad concluded.

Special Valentine's day gifts that would melt her heart by Francis Onyema

Making a decision on perfect Valentine's day gifts for your girlfriend could be a little bit difficult regardless how long you'd known her or you both had dated.

It is the same for couples who are legally married. The husband is left to ponder on which Valentine gifts to lavish on the wife. It is indeed a magical moment of love that you really wanna reignite the lovely passion you continually share.

Obviously your goal is to get best romantic Valentine gifts for her and most often you want that to come as a surprise. But you do not know that Valentine's day romantic gifts to make her fall deeply in love with you, even more.

I interviewed my best male friends on what Valentine's day gift ideas they had in mind to lavish on their girlfriends, and I got all sorts of funny replies.

Mathias Tsado and the challenge to fix Nigeria’s economy by Francis Onyema

Recently Nigeria demanded an immediate restructuring and expansion of the UN Security Council (UNSC) permanent membership to correct the injustices meted out against Africa in the composition of the prestigious 15-member body.
Whereas this call may sound morally right, what we must realize is that like freedom, power is not given, it is fought for. The UNSC permanent members represent the five great powers considered to be the victors of World War II. China, France, Russia, United Kingdom and the US are States that had vigorously developed and diversified their economies to transcend the global power hierarchy. These are States whose economic policies typifies the advancement in technology and improvement in their armaments. They are States who realize that power is the ultimate determinant in human society and implies the ability to defend one's interests and if necessary to impose one's will by any means available.

Thus, we must realize that just as it is difficult for the W…

Who made the game and who flopped? Read our best performance ratings across Europe top leagues

The second week of competitive football in the new year produced mouthwatering performances across the European top leagues.

In the EPL, Pep Guardiola's City were put to the sword at Anfield after 22 games unbeaten run while Barcelona continued with a resilient performance that earned them another win after conceding two goals against Real Sociedad.

We assess and rate the best football team, the players or coaches who made the team and the ones who flopped.

Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp is the first name on our list this week. The German did not only prove he could match the scintillating attacking football played by Man City but also showed tactical class to topple Guardiola in the EPL second leg tie at Anfield.

Klopp's Liverpool were a joy to watch against the dominant City flyers. His team was set up to play an attacking game with swift flowing passes adding more glamour to the high pressing strategy adopted by the former Dortmund manager.

Statistics proves Mourinho is right to let Mkhitaryan go by Francis Onyema

Hennrikh Mkhitaryan is set to become an Arsenal football player in a swap deal that sees Alexis Sanchez head to the red half of Manchester.

The Armenia captain was signed by Jose Mourinho, in the 2016 summer transfer window, to provide the creative spark that was much needed to rejuvenate the Old Trafford club, in order to compete at all fronts but especially in the EPL.

Mkhitaryan's stay at Old Trafford has been cut short as the deal to join Arsenal is at best the best deal for him to get back to the level he played at Borussia Dortmund before Mourinho swooped for him.

The debate, however, remains whether Mourinho is right to let the talented star leave Man United in the January transfer window. Or should Micki had been given more time to flourish at Old Trafford?

Prior to his move to United, he was a creative force to reckon with in Europe.

Muhammad Ali was the "greatest human" who ever lived by Francis Onyema

Muhammad Ali was handsome; a fighter and a religious man. He was a believer - he believed more in his abilities- and that, no doubt, set him out as a winner. Perhaps, the greatest lesson we can draw from the world boxing legend.

Before that famous fight with Liston in Miami, Clay, as Ali was known before converting to Islam, in a pre-fight build up dubbed Liston "the big ugly guy" and boasted he would beat and donate him to the zoo. Many thought Clay's rant was out of fear as he faced a man who destroyed former "heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson in two first-round knock outs" but it turned out to be a show of believe. At the Age of 22, the man to be celebrated as "greatest human" shook the world and announced "I am the greatest." Clay had beaten Liston - a dominating fighter with a criminal past and ties to the mob - to be crowned the heavy weight champion in 1964.

Muhammad Ali loved every bit of himself and was never intimidated by ethn…

How President Jonathan saved President-elect Buhari

In what can be described as an unprecedented move by Mr Goodluck Jonathan, who is expected to handover power to the president elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, in a democratic exchange of baton between the domineering People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the emerging ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC) billed for May 29th, 2015, the incumbent president continued to display his flamboyance of 'sportsmanship' and has extended his olive branch of peace to the president elect.

Firstly, President Jonathan ensured that peace‎ was of essence over 'personal ambition' by swiftly telephoning his APC counterpart, Gen Buhari ,on his victory, whom triumphed in the March 28th hotly contested presidential election with over 3million votes.

This move by Mr President practically saved the nation from an impending chaos. It is, therefore, a remarkable process of democratic consolidation in the country for which he must be applauded.

However, ‎it does not seem the incumbent presid…
