NIGERIA PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE



ATTEND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE – APC CHIEFTAIN TELLS BUHARI

 

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano, Atiku Ahmad-Dungurawa has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to attend the proposed presidential debate.
NAN reports that Ahmad-Dungurawa, the Coordinator, Door-To-Door Campaign for Buhari/Ganduje, made the call while addressing a news conference in Kano on Tuesday.
According to him, Buhari has achieved a lot, especially in the area of infrastructural development, security, economy and above all, the fight against corruption.
He said the debate would give Buhari the opportunity to inform Nigerians about the achievements his administration had recorded as well as clear areas of misconception about his government.
“I am really in support that Buhari should participate in the presidential debate in view of the fact that he has achieved a lot, especially on infrastructure development in the country.’’
Ahmad-Dungurawa said that due to adequate measures being taken by the Buhari-led administration, the security situation had improved and the economy stabilised.
“Between 2011 and 2015, the security situation in the entire Northeast was terrible but now there are a lot socio-economic activities going on in the region as a result of the improvement on security,’’ he said.
Ahmad-Dungurawa expressed optimism that Buhari would floor the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar because according to him Buhari has been able to fulfil the promises he made to Nigerians during his electioneering campaign in 2015.
He urged Nigerians irrespective of their political and religious inclination to support Buhari’s re-election bid to enable him consolidate on the achievements recorded in order to take the country to greater heights.
He commended the President for reviewing upward the salary of Police personnel, saying the gesture would go a long way in boosting their morale.

NIGERIAN CAPTAIN REACTS

                                                                                   

Ahmed Musa Reacts As Referee Gassama Apologizes For Disallowed Goals Against South Africa

Super Eagles stand-in captain, Ahmed Musa, says he has forgiven Gambian referee, Bakary Gassama, after his errors cost the Super Eagles two goals, during the 1-1 draw with South Africa last Saturday.
Gassama and his assistants chalked off two Nigeria goals for offside, but replays showed otherwise.
In the first half of the encounter played at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, Musa thought he had assisted a Kelechi Iheanacho goal, but saw it flagged for offside.
Musa again, with few minutes left in the tie, ran onto Alex Iwobi’s incisive pass to score what would have been the winner, but it was ruled out.
After the game, he took to the social media to question the calls, also poking at CAF.
The referee, however, apologized to Musa and Nigeria for the mistakes and the forward has waved off the incidents, stressing that their qualification for AFCON 2019, has made up for the wrong decisions.
“I will say that it was good that he realized his mistakes and apologized for his action and it is past tense for me.
“The major thing is that we have qualified for Afcon for the first time since 2013 and we are delighted about that. I don’t see any big deal about that because our emphasis was on playing at the Africa Cup of Nations and now that we have qualified, we are relieved.
“I am not worried that I was not able to score because we didn’t lose and we have got our heart desires with the ticket to Cameroon. We know that it is time now for serious preparations and that is what we are after now,” Musa told reporters in Asaba, ahead of the Super Eagles’ friendly match against Uganda.
