Buhari Promises Youths Ministerial Slots If Re-elected’ - Politics -

Tony Nwoye, Director of Youth Mobilisation, All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, says youths will be heads of Ministries and Prastatals if President Muhammadu Buhari is re-elected.

Mr Nwoye stated this on Monday in Abuja at a news conference to launch a nationwide campaign for Buhari’s re-election in Abuja.



He said the nationwide youth mobilisation campaign was targeted at convincing Nigerian youths and students that they could trust Buhari.

This, he said, was especially so, based on the positive youth development credentials of President Muhammadu Buhari from 2015 to date.

Mr Nwonye, who is also a member of the House of Representatives, said he had secured the commitment of President Buhari to change the involvement of youths in his administration when re-elected.

He further said that youths in the country were committed to mobilising and giving President Buhari over 20 million votes in the coming elections.

This, he said, would ensure a landslide victory for Buhari in the presidential election slated for Feb. 16.

Meek Mill laments being on probation for the past 11 years of his life

Meek Mill can't wait to get off probation after 11 years of having to seek permission from the law, and he's taken to Twitter to lament.

Meek’s case goes all the way back to January 2007 when he was arrested at 19 years old on drug and gun charges. Judge Genece Brinkley found Meek guilty of some of those charges, the most serious of which carried up to 15 years in prison. He served five months and was placed on probation for eight years, which is when Meek’s saga really began.

Over the years that followed, Meek struggled to keep up with Judge Brinkley’s probation conditions. Eventually, Judge Brinkley revoked his probation in 2017 and sentenced him to two to four years in prison for violating probation. The Philadelphia judge who handed down the sentence said the musician had wasted several chances to clean up his act following a 2009 gun and drug case.

His sentence led to protests across the United States and he was eventually released in 2018. But he remains on probation, which means he needs permission to do certain things and go to certain places.

Lamenting the situation, Meek tweeted:

I just wanna get off probation I been on this shit my whole adult life ... 11 years of asking for permission

Chelsea and Liverpool beware: Real Madrid line up £265m transfer splurge to rebuild their front three

Real Madrid are reportedly readying some major spending in the transfer market as they eye the likes of Chelsea forward Eden Hazard and Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino.

According to Diario Gol, the Spanish giants have a number of targets in that area of the pitch, but those two are among the main names they’re looking at as they seek to spend around £265million in total on revamping their attack.

Links with Chelsea’s Hazard make sense given the Belgium international’s precarious contract situation, with his current deal due to expire at the end of next season.

This significantly weakens Chelsea’s negotiating position, as it did when they ended up selling Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid last summer.

The 28-year-old attacker also seems an ideal replacement for Los Blancos to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo after his move to Juventus.

As for Firmino, the Brazil international has been another of the Premier League’s finest players in recent times and could be a fine upgrade on the over-the-hill Karim Benzema at the Bernabeu.

Concern for Chelsea: Eden Hazard on Real Madrid transfer talk, but hints at stay too

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has once again left the door open to a possible move to Real Madrid in the future, which will concern Blues fans.

As noted by Marca, speculation of a move to the Bernabeu refuses to go away and it seems as though the Belgian is doing little to entirely dismiss those links.

With the Spanish giants yet to fill the void left behind by Cristiano Ronaldo last summer following his switch to Juventus in terms of a marquee signing, that will arguably ensure that the Hazard links remain.

Particularly if he continues to talk about the possibility of a move to Spain as noted below without fully committing himself to Chelsea, it will remain a source of real concern for the Premier League giants.

“Why not? You know it very well. You’re asking the question, but you know what the answer will be so you don’t have to ask it,” he said when asked if he’d be happy to join Madrid, as quoted by Sky Sports via an interview with France Football.
