Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, says he does not care if Nigeria\u2019s next president, vice-president, and speaker of the House of Representatives are all from the same village and religion.<\/p>\n
Soyinka spoke on Channels Television\u2019s NewsNight, a pre-recorded interview, aired on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t give a damn if the president, the vice-President, the speaker, etc all come from the same village, they have the same religion, they belong to the same tribe,\u201d Soyinka said when asked about his thoughts on the controversy that has trailed the Muslim-Muslim All Progressives Congress presidential ticket.<\/p>\n
The dramatist quickly added, \u201cIf, however, it is transparently, absolutely, unarguable that is a kind of genius breed that has been donated to the nation and to the world. As long as the capability of the individuals who are into governance is proven, and it is quite clear that there is no alternative, that is my position.<\/p>\n

Former minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has confessed that the supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, are everywhere.<\/p>\n
In his article titled \u2018Who are these Obidients\u2019?, Fani-Kayode instructed his party\u00a0members to humble\u00a0themselves and embrace Obidients with a view to solving their respective problems.<\/p>\n
Recall that many political parties have asked about Obi\u2019s political structure. Some have said that Obi has presence only on social media<\/p>\n
He stated that the \u2018Obidients\u2019 have ideas and vision. While cautioning the big political parties, (PDP, APC), Fani-Kayode advised them to play their cards very well.<\/p>\n

The South East Youth Movement for Tinubu\/Shettima has accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of deceiving Ndigbo by refusing to zone its presidential ticket to the South East.<\/p>\n
They said this happened despite the support the zone had given the party since 1999.<\/p>\n
The convener of the political group, Chief Emeka Anike Ugbuene, who said this in a speech during the inauguration of the state executives of the movement in Enugu, stated that the group would mobilize voters in the South East for the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n
Chief Ugbuene further stated that Tinubu has shown great capacity to lead Nigeria and to turn the nation\u2019s fortune around.<\/p>\n
He further dismissed the chances of both the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi stating that Bola Tinubu is the right man to lead Nigeria.<\/p>\n
