Presidency needs refresher course in history –APC

 

Lai Mohammed

The All Progressives Congress on Friday said the Presidency needs a refresher course in history if it is not aware that a leader has had cause to resign in the middle of a war.

The APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a statement in Abuja that a former British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, resigned from office on May 10, 1940 after Adolf Hitler forced the allies to retreat from Norway, thus changing the course of World War II.

Mohammed was responding to claim by the Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, that no President resigns in the middle of a war.

Historcally, Ohafia people left Andoli and settled in Isi-Eke, from

Tambuwal: God Bless The Police

The polity went upscale when the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) withdrew the security details attached to Hon. Tambuwal.

First, it is important that every patriotic Nigerian give kudos to Hon. Tambuwal for repositioning the House of Representatives as a stakeholder in the Nigeria project. He deserves resounding applause for his dogged and relentless efforts in taking the legislative arm away from the stranglehold of the executive and repositioning it as a symbol of authority as against the coalition of yes-men.
