IT IS ONLY THE NWC AND NEC OF A PARTY THAT HAS THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND A SITTING SENATOR- ORJI UZOR KALU+ CONDEMNS VANGUARD FROM CARRYING PROPAGANDA. (PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE.

I am not worried when politicians who have lost relevance resort to propaganda and blackmail. I am only worried when respected media houses become agents of mischief. It is for this kind of mischief that the federal government is emphasizing on media regulations. Vanguard’s reported news on my suspension from the APC is highly unprofessional and embarrassing to the media house.  I understand that the opposition’s only strategy is propaganda but "Vanguard" accepting to be used for such news shows another height of ignorance. Constitutionally , it is only the NWC and NEC of a party that has the right to suspend a sitting Senator.  Vanguard has publicly taken political positions and it’s a great shame to feed the public with lies.

According to the magazine "Opening up in her most candid and revealing interview in years, Paris Hilton speaks to Emily Maddick about her dark past, her fake ‘dumb blonde persona’, activism, misogyny, and motherhood – as she exclusively reveals the first photos of her newborn son to GLAMOUR… Paris Hilton is standing next to me wearing a black Alice + Olivia pleated mini skirt and top with an embroidered collar, Louboutin boots with pearl studded heels, black Prada bucket hat, sunglasses and phone case around her neck, leaving voice notes for her Uber driver. He's mistakenly arrived at The Beverly Hilton hotel to collect her, as opposed to the Waldorf Astoria, where we’ve just spent the afternoon together. As far as I can tell, the Uber driver has no clue that the passenger issuing him directions is, in fact, the most famous member of the Hilton hotel dynasty.
