APC in N92m debt mess, dragged to court

There’s currently uneasy calm in the Nasarawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a team of lawyers purportedly engaged by the party to represent it at the Local Government Election Petition Tribunal in 2014, have dragged the ruling party to court over N92.7 million debt.
One of the lawyers, who gave his name as Mr Shikammah Sheltu, told newsmen on Tuesday in Lafia that the party had contacted five of them to represent it at the tribunal in respect of chairmanship and councillorship elections in 13 local government areas of the state.
The lawyer, however, said that the party had agreed to pay N100 million as professional fee to the legal team out of which only N7.3 million was paid, leaving a balance of N92.7million.
He said that their decision to go to court was fueled by the party’s refusal to pay the balance after several reminders.
The lawyer said that the suit had been fixed for hearing at the state High Court 1 on Jan. 19, 2016.
Reacting to the claim, APC state Secretary, Mr Aliyu Bello, confirmed receipt of the summon and said the party would respond appropriately

OMG Davido opens up about baby mama

In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu. I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes. Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja. I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the grate lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade....
