 Serena Williams' husband addresses critics over White House UFC event Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis star Serena Williams, faced backlash after attending President Trump’s 80th birthday celebration at the White House, which doubled as a UFC event staged by Dana White’s TKO group. The spectacle drew criticism when fighter Josh Hokit used his post-fight interview to make a vile slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama.  Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit and now owns several sports teams, stayed silent for days before finally condemning the remark on social media, insisting he had already left the event when it was made. In his statement, Ohanian explained that he attended at the invitation of UFC’s parent company and emphasized his past decision to resign from Reddit in protest against hate-filled communities. He also noted he was leaving the venue early due to jet lag from traveling between Europe and the U.S. to support Williams’ tennis comeback.  While he expressed r...

Ganduje laments stoppage of 10,000 workers’ salaries by Kano Gov, Abba Yusuf

28th Jun 2023 

The immediate past governor of Kano state, Abdullahi Ganduje has expressed lamentation over the suspension of salaries of 10,000 workers he employed by the government of Abba Kabir Yusuf.

This is contained in a statement issued by the former Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Muhammad Garba on Wednesday to rejoice with the people of the state on Eid-el-Kabir.

Ganduje also said that the suspension of the worker’s salaries has generated fears in the state civil service for possible layoffs at a time when people are striving to survive.

“At this period of Eid Adha celebrations, the NNPP stopped the salaries of over 10, 000 workers employed by the former administration under flimsy and unacceptable reasons.

“The salary stoppage, which also affected workers, particularly teachers some of whom were employed more than three months ago, has generated palpable fears in the state civil service for possible layoffs in other sectors of the state service.

“I wish to express concern over the cancellation of the promotion of civil servants in the school teachers category and payment of their salaries based on their former grade levels.

“The harsh policy of the state government did not come as a surprise because, they started this to pursue their plan for a lower wage, bearing in mind the ongoing negotiations of new minimum wage, which they once described as an All Progressives Congress (APC) manifesto.

“The measure was also pointing at their plan to sack the teachers and replace them with their members.

“While further sending felicitations to the people of the state I enjoin Muslims to learn from the lessons of sacrifice which the Eid Adha teaches.

“I also stress the need for unity, understanding and support for one another particularly in this period of economic problem,” Ganduje said.
