Nairobi Star (Nairobi) Mathews Ndanyi 27 May 2011 As the athletics fraternity and Kenyans in general mourn Olympics marathon champion Samuel Wanjiru, veteran runners are urging the upcoming aces to use this opportunity to take stock of their lives and live responsibly. Eldoret town is home to some of the world's greatest athletes, top among them the legendary Kipchoge Keino. Talk of Moses Kiptanui, Moses Tanui, Daniel Komen, Pamela Jelimo, Alice Timbilil, Janet Chepkosgei (Eldoret Express), Robert 'Mwafrika' Cheruiyot, Ezekiel Kemboi, Brimin Kipruto, Stephen Kiprotich and they are all first class residents of Eldoret.

A group, the Nigerian Peoples Centre for Legislative Advocacy, on Monday said Mr. Saubana Ajibola was best suited to be the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The Chairman and Secretary of the group, Mr. Hyacinth Chinweuba, and Mrs. Sade Ajetumobi, respectively, stated this in an address on the next leadership of the National Assembly.

They said, “We support Ajibola for his outstanding performance during the power probe when he submitted a people-driven minority support.”

The group, which also predicated Ajibola’s suitability for the position on his origin, said, “The position of the Speaker of the House of Representative should be retained in the South-West of Nigeria.”

The group said Ajibola had met both local and international standards expected of the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
