The Election Result They Want In Osun

The Election Result They Want In Osun I f the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had its way, its candidate in Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, would have been declared governor that day. The party is so upset with the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare the election inconclusive, that it has threatened dire consequences should the result go the other way. Adeleke scored 254,698 votes, giving him 353 votes more than his main rival and candidate of the All Progressives Party, Gboyega Oyetola. But 3,498 potentially consequential votes were unaccounted for. Yet there are those who insist that by simple majority, Adeleke should have been declared winner. Why is INEC wasting time? As the parties return to the seven polling units in the four local councils that will finally decide the election, it appears that it is not only PDP that wants Adeleke declared winner, anyhow. In the run-up to the electi...

Trump Says Military Is ‘Locked and Loaded’ and North Korea Will ‘Regret’ Threats Leer en español 1562 A-10 planes lined up for takeoff on Thursday from the United States Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. YONHAP / REUTERS AUGUST 11, 2017 BRIDGEWATER, N.J. —  President Trump  issued yet more provocative warnings of military action against  North Korea  on Friday as he continued to suggest that he was ready to strike the small, isolated Asian country that has been developing  nuclear weapons  capable of reaching the United States. Even as he kept up the drumbeat against Pyongyang, Mr. Trump suggested that he was also contemplating the use of armed force closer to home, in Venezuela, where the government has moved to close down the opposition parliament after a fraud-plagued referendum while the country spirals deeper into poverty and dysfunction. Asked about the crisis there, Mr. Trump volunteered the possib...

Barcelona want Philippe Coutinho to force move away from Liverpool as £90m bid is rejected

Barcelona want Philippe Coutinho to force move away from Liverpool as £90m bid is rejected Coutinho is understood to be open to the prospect of moving to the Nou Camp - but is unlikely to go unless he pushes the issue Thursday 10 August 2017 The €100m offer would have made Coutinho one of the most expensive players of all time  Liverpool FC via Getty Images Barcelona  are urging  Philippe Coutinho  to help force a move away from  Liverpool  after having a second bid for the player rejected. The Spanish giants bid €100m (£90.2m) for the playmaker but it was rejected out of hand and Barca fear the Reds will hold firm in their stance that the Brazilian is not for sale at any price. Sporting director Robert Fernandez is willing to be patient in his pursuit of Coutinho and the club do appear to have a misplaced confidence that this deal will get done when it is becoming increasingly obvious that Liverpool are ready to shut down any attempt at opening ...
