 Carrick favourite for Man Utd caretaker role Michael Carrick has emerged as favourite to be appointed Manchester United caretaker head coach, according to sources close to the process. Club chiefs are hoping to have an appointment in place for when players return to training on Wednesday. While a final decision is yet to be reached, talks are said to have progressed with the 44-year-old over the position. Carrick previously had a three-game stint as United's temporary boss following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal in 2021. He won two and drew one of those matches but left after Ralf Rangnick's arrival as interim manager. Solskjaer held face-to-face discussions with the club on Saturday about a return. United sacked Ruben Amorim as manager after 14 months in the job on 5 January. Darren Fletcher, a former United and Scotland midfielder, was initially handed temporary responsibility for first-team affairs following Amorim's departure. United suffered an FA Cup third-rou...

GAC NOT INVOLVED IN OBASA'S REMOVAL- OLUSI. (PHOTO).


 GAC not involved in Obasa’s removal – Olusi 


Chairman, Governance Advisory Council (GAC) in Lagos State, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, has said the council was not consulted before the removal of Hon Mudashiru Obasa as Lagos Speaker.

Olusi, speaking with newsmen in an interview at his residence on Friday, said that lawmakers neither consulted the party nor the council.

He said that the council should not be dragged into the leadership crisis that saw the removal of Obasa and replacement by the Deputy Speaker, Mrs Mojisola Meranda.

“Members of the GAC are not members of the Lagos State House of Assembly to allegedly be behind the removal of Obasa. It can’t be true.

“We read it also that morning. The lawmakers carried it out without consulting the party and those of us in the GAC. That is our position.

“We invited all of them and insisted that all of them are products of the party. They lodged their complaints and we listened to them.

“I blamed them for one thing and that is for not lodging the complaints earlier before the party.

“It is for the party to decide, they (lawmakers) have no absolute power to remove and install their leaders.

“Nobody can become a member of the House of Assembly unless sponsored by a political party and the sponsors are the inspectors,” Olusi said.

The APC apex leader said that the speakership crisis in the House remained a problem between Obasa and his colleagues in the House.

“The problem is the speaker (Obasa) and his colleagues which had led to his removal. It is a disputer among them,” he added.

He said no organ of government was totally independent of the other, adding that the party, GAC and another high powered committee set up was working tirelessly to resolve the dispute.

“Currently, there is a high powered committee of the party led by Chief Bisi Akande and members, including Aremo Olusegun Osoba, and former APC National Vice Chairman, South-west, Chief Pius Akinyelure and others,

“They are working and making efforts to resolve the matter. I know they are in consultation with the House of Assembly, Obasa and the other Speaker, Mrs Mojisola Lasbat Meranda.

“Those of us in the GAC and the Chairman of the Party, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi are doing all within our power to assist the committee,” he added.

Speaking on dissenting views expressed by some members of the GAC, Olusi said that those who spoke expressed their individual views, which they were entitled to, not the GAC’s.

“One day, and very soon the matter will be settled. Dispute and differences are fact of life and dispute resolution and party mechanisms are also there.

“You leave us alone, as a party we are conscious of our responsibility and that of the House of Assembly; we are going to do all within our powers to resolve the dispute,

“The overall responsibility is on the party,” he added.
