2019: Obasanjo Reveals Candidate He Will Support


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he will support any credible governorship candidate produced by the Ogun West senatorial district in 2019.

He said the zone had not produced a governor since the creation of the state 42 years ago.

Speaking on the sideline of the burial service for the former Secretary to the Ogun State Government, Pa Adepoju Adeyemi, held at Comprehensive High School, Ayetoro in Yewa North Local Government Area of the state, Obasanjo argued that for a sense of equity and fairness, it should be the turn of the Ogun West Senatorial District to produce the next governor of the state.

He said, “I am going to support a credible governorship candidate from Ogun West Senatorial District.

“So, I want to appeal to you to look inward and produce a credible candidate, who is tested and trusted and will deliver for the betterment of the state.”

He also commended the incumbent governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun for also thinking along the same line.

Amosun had said that a candidate from the zone would take over from him when he completed his term.

“I started the project of supporting governorship candidate from Ogun West to become the next Ogun State Governor, and I want to commend Governor Amosun in thinking in same line with me.

“But what is now important is for the zone to produce a performing candidate who will add value to the state,” he said.

Court halts Rihanna shooting case for mental health review

Court halts Rihanna shooting case for mental health review ALos Angeles judge has suspended the attempted murder case against Ivanna Ortiz, the woman accused of firing 20 shots at Rihanna’s home, after finding evidence to question her mental competency, according to correspondence. Judge Shannon Cooley halted proceedings on May 20 after meeting privately with Ortiz’s public defender. A court source confirmed to Rolling Stone on May 21 that the judge found sufficient grounds to refer Ortiz to the county’s mental health court. Ortiz, who was not present in court for the ruling, will now undergo an evaluation to determine if she can understand the case against her. The decision comes a week after Judge Cooley denied a similar request, stating there was insufficient evidence at the time to override Ortiz’s demand to stand trial. Ortiz has pleaded not guilty to one count of attempted murder, 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an inhabit...

Rise Tower, a proposed mega-project in Riyadh, is planned to be two kilometres in height but is currently still in the planning stage. However, the Jeddah Economic Tower continues to gather pace, having recently reached the 370m mark.
