Ikimi May Join PDP Soon

Former Nigerian minister of foreign affair, Tom Ikimi has finally shown indications that suggest he is ready to join the ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, few weeks after he left Nigeria’s biggest opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, APC. It would be recalled that Ikimi dumped the APC after being denied the national chairmanship of the party and after bitter squabbles with some leaders of the party, including Senator Bola Tinubu. The Edo politician then accused Tinubu of hijacking the APC, refusing to state which party he would be joining. However, while speaking with journalists in Benin on Monday, 9 September, 2014, Ikimi said that he was back with the Federal Government. He added that he had discussed with the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the PDP, Tony Anenih. Ikimi added that he is ready to ensure that Edo is included in the mainstream states in the South-South region in future. He said that what was in the future for the state was greater than what had been seen so far. The former minister also said that there was no reason to be at logger head with the Federal Government, saying the development in his native land of Igueben, Edo State, was done by the Federal Government and not the state government. According to him, it is time to make peace with his kinsmen as well as time for him to gravitate to a party where he has friends. Ikimi said it was a good thing that the nation had two dominant political parties, the APC and the PDP, stressing that it was time for people to decide where they belong. He said that his decision to leave the APC was not to witch hunt anybody as against the APC where leaders witch hunt one another, Ikimi said. According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, among those who welcomed Ikimi at the Benin airport on his arrival from Abuja were Lucky Igbinedion, former governor of Edo; Lucky Imasuen; Tony Omoaghe; and Evelyn Igbafen.

And I told her I wanted to show her true love… Actually, she was the person that started it by always changing her cloths in front of me and this attracted me” – Says John Awah, who claimed that the multiple rounds of sex he had with his daughter was ‘consensual’ It sounds bizarre, untrue, and squeamish, but it’s the whole truth. Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...
