 AU urges de-escalation as fighting displaces over 180,000 in South Sudan’s Jonglei state The Chairperson of the African Union Commission called for immediate de-escalation and strict adherence to South Sudan’s 2018 peace agreement, as renewed fighting in Jonglei State displaced more than 180,000 people and raised fears of further civilian harm.

 They’re intoxicated in Ibadan party – Wike rejects expulsion from PDP


Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has rejected his purported expulsion from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The party earlier announced that Wike; Samuel Anyanwu, former National Secretary of the party; and Ayodele Fayose, former Governor of Ekiti State, were expelled from the main opposition party.

Chief Olabode George, former National Vice Chairman of the party (South), moved the motion for the expulsion at the ongoing convention in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.

The motion was seconded by Hon. Samaila Burga, Chairman of the PDP in Bauchi.

However, when contacted by DAILY POST, the Senior Special Assistant on Publicity and Communications to the FCT Minister, Lere Olayinka, dismissed the expulsion.

According to Lere, the party members who announced the expulsion were “intoxicated” in their “dirty December.”

He said, “They went to Ibadan to start dirty December in November.

“When people decide to start their own dirty December in November, one can’t but ignore whatever comes out of their mouths.

“They gathered in Ibadan to do party, enjoy themselves and intoxicated, they are free to say anything.”
