LOKOJA—Isah Taufiq, the Chairman of the Association
of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, Kogi State
chapter, who is also the Administrator of Ijumu Local
Government Area, yesterday, described as “malicious
and a tissue of lies,” reports that he had been arrested
and whisked away to Abuja over the purported
assassination attempt on Senator Dino Melaye.

              Sen. Dino Melaye

The Administrator, who debunked the purported
allegation through his media consultant, Abubakar
Suleiman, insisted that the rumour was untrue.
According to him, “the Administrator, as the chief
security officer of the local government, had already
constituted a 10-man committee to investigate the
assassination claim by Senator Dino Melaye even as the
Commissioner of Police, Wilson Inalegwu, has also
instituted a high-powered probe panel, which is headed
by the Regent of Olujumu.
“It is surprising to read that he has been arrested
despite the fact that he personally briefed some
journalists on his efforts to unravel the veracity of the
assassination claim by Senator Melaye at the NUJ Press
Centre on Wednesday.
“The story was sponsored by those who have been
desperate to smear Mr. Taufiq’s good reputation.
“The people of Kogi should disregard the unfounded story
and journalists must confirm facts before going to
press.”

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Posted By
Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending down­wards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This opti­mism is no less supported by the recent release of the na­tion’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statis­tics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP con­tracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 repre­senting the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter...
