“When I was contesting election, some people, among them my supporters, came with various advises. In fact, somebody said that I should go to the seven local government areas and fetch the soil. He said that was the way to my victory and I laughed at his ignorance. I rejected it because I’ve vowed that I will never seek diabolical means to achieve power. It is good to serve God,” he said.

Fayose, who was a staunch supporter of Sheriff's Chairmanship, said he had no option than to choose the party's interest over individual's.
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described the removal of the former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ali Modu Sheriff as a move to save the party.

Fayose, who was a staunch supporter of Sheriff’s Chairmanship, said he had no option than to choose the party’s interest over individual’s.

The PDP at its National Convention held in Port Harcout, Rivers State on Saturday, May 21, had dissolved Senator Sheriff-led National Working Committee (NWC) and appointed Senator Ahmed Makarfi as replacement.

According to the party, Sheriff’s leadership is the cause of the disintegration within the party, as too many forces were against him.

No fewer than 148 people were killed on Monday in bomb explosions in Jableh and Tartous on Syria’s Mediterranean coast on Monday in the government-controlled territory that hosts Russian military bases, Reuters quotes monitors and state media as saying.

It was reported that at least 200 persons were wounded in the attacks claimed by Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in the cities, saying it was targeting members of President Bashar al-Assad’s Alawite minority.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 148 people were killed in attacks by at least five suicide bombers and two devices planted in cars. State media had said 78 people had been killed in what is Assad’s coastal heartland.

The attacks were the first of their kind in Tartous, capital of Tartous province and home to a Russian naval facility, and in Jableh in Latakia province, near a Russian-operated air base.

Sky News reports that 73 people were killed in Jableh and another 48 died in Tartus further south, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.

The attacks mark the latest development in a bloody six-year civil war, as the United Nations’ Syria envoy continues to attempt to restart peace talks.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said the increase in militant attacks and bombings in Syria “once again demonstrates how fragile the situation in Syria is”.

Local television reports said that at least one suicide bomber targeted a busy bus station in Tartus, followed by a car laden with explosives minutes later.

In a separate attack, four explosions hit Jableh, which is south of Latakia city.

They included three rocket attacks and a suicide bomber at a city hospital, state media said.

Russia has a naval base in Tartus, and an air base in Latakia province. Insurgents are known to have a presence in rural Latakia.

Syrian cabinet minister Omran al Zoubi told Syrian television, “We will not be deterred … we will use everything we have to fight the terrorists.”

A one-sentence report by the ISIS-linked Aamaq news agency, which routinely carries the group’s news, claimed responsibility but gave no further details.

No fewer than seven persons were feared dead when a three-storey building collapsed at Nwagu village near the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Anambra State, on Sunday night.

The victims, who were mostly masons, our correspondent gathered, used the ground floor of the building as a temporary abode.

The authorities of the polytechnic, however, could not confirm the number of casualties as of 6pm on Monday.

The Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr. Obinna Onuchukwu, said the building located at the village adjacent to school, belonged to a private estate developer.

According to him, students of the polytechnic would have rented the building on its completion.

Onuchukwu also noted that students occupying adjacent buildings to the collapsed one had been evacuated from the area.

He added, “There is no record of collapsed structure in the polytechnic. That shows that this one isn’t ours. Our Rector, Prof. Godwin Onu, has visited the scene and immediately ordered the evacuation of students residing within the axis of the collapsed building.”

Meanwhile, Governor Willie Obiano, has said that the contractor and owner of the collapsed building will face prosecution.

Obiano, who visited the polytechnic for an on-the-spot assessment of the situation, on Monday, described the incident as sad.
