PDP PANICS AS OBASANJO MEETS SOUTHWEST WOMAN LEADERS

By -
All market leaders (Iyalojas) and concerned
women in the six states in the South West geo-
political region are today holding a crucial meet­
ing with former president, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo at his hill top mansion in Abeokuta,
Ogun State.
Although the agenda of the parley convened at
the instance of the former Nigerian leader was
being kept under wraps, it had unsettled the rul­
ing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over fears
that it might be used to mobilise the electorate,
particularly women in the zone against the party’s
presidential candidate, President Goodluck
Jonathan in the February elections.
According to the notice of the meeting, which was
sent out by the Iyalode of Egba, Chief Alaba
Lawson, a copy of which was obtained by Daily
Sun, the women delegates “are to assemble at
Commerce House, Igbehin Hills, near Ibara Police
Station, Abeokuta at 9a.m. to go in convoy to
Baba’s House for the 10 a.m. appointment.”
Although the objective of the parley was still
shrouded in mystery, sources close to the PDP in
the zone said the party was not comfortable with
the development coming at this crucial moment
when election was very close.
What has sent jitters down the party’s spine, said
a source, who pleaded not to be named in print,
was the present position of the former president
Obasanjo on the re-election bid of President
Goodluck Jonathan, which “as you all know is not
encouraging.”
The source said: “As much as we are not privy to
the meeting’s agenda, we are convinced that it
cannot be anything than political and since the
body language of Baba as far as PDP is
concerned is against our plan to have President
Jonathan back in office, we are worried. It is no
more a secret that the former president is more
disposed to the opposition taking over power
from the current president and our party, though
he is still a member of the PDP; so, we have to
monitor his moves, especially as elections draw
nearer in order not to be caught unawares,” the
source said.
Meanwhile, Daily Sun learnt that some of the
women invited to the meeting had threatened not
to honour the invitation without firm promise of
‘mobilisation’ before leaving Abeokuta, while some
others were said to have been reaching out to
politicians, especially PDP stalwarts for
sponsorship of the trip, a situation that the party
found curious.

How to get him to pay your bills (ladies crib)

Hello ladies  it's your turn tonight. And thanks alot feel so good to have 9000+ view. Thanks to u guys 1. Don’t  have  any bills. If you’re deep in financial debt in this economy, and you meet a man who also has financial responsibilities, the likelihood that he will want to pay your bills is very slim. Single men have bills also, even if they don’t have children. The only single men without bills are most likely living in their parent’s basement or still sleeping in the room they grew up in. That man can’t pay anyone’s bills or he’d have his own house. And let’s be honest, if you were already dating the wealthiest caliber of men to begin with, you wouldn’t be looking for a man to pay your bills in the first place. 2. Don’t  ask  a man to pay your bills. Men look at women who ask for them to pay their bills as  gold diggers . And that’s me being nice. Men actually call women who ask them to pay their bills  garden tools . Here’s the thing, if you have something you can

 A man suspected to be behind the manufacture of explosives used in a series of Boko Haram suicide attacks has been arrested in North-East Nigeria, a senior police officer told AFP on Tuesday. The man, identified only as Ba'na, was held in the Arikime area of Potiskum after several weeks of surveillance, said the officer, who was involved in the Sunday arrest.
