Abdul-kadir was ordered to hand over to the permanent secretary of the ministry.

Although, the statement was silent on the reason for Mr. Abdul-Kadir’s sack, anonymous sources in the Presidency have said it might not be unconnected with Mr. Abdul-kadir serving as an interim official of a new political association, Voice of the People, VoP, floated by Mr. Wamakko and five other PDP governors ahead of 2015.

It has been gathered that the former minister may have been functioning as the protem secretary of the new group.

Various reports linked seven PDP governors- Chubuike Amaechi (Rivers), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Mr. Wamakko, all of who belong to the faction of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, chaired by Mr. Amaechi- with the new association.

The governors are believed to be opposed to the undeclared second term aspiration of Mr. Jonathan.

“We are also looking at the possibilities of manufacturing it in Nigeria and see how we can make it cheaper in this country. I am glad that Jessica has also agreed to be one of our Ambassadors in terms of promoting entrepreneurship in our universities”, Aganga said.

Reacting to the presentation, President Jonathan commended her creative and multi-talented nature – given that she ventured into applied sciences despite her academic career being limited to social sciences including psychology and economics.

He also pinpointed that the choice to launch such a unique product in her home country is proof of her patriotism.

The invention should provide an alternative and more suitably cheaper means of sourcing for energy as we, Nigerians, continue to employ strategies in our bid to provide adequately power for both our business and domestic uses

REVELATION: THIS MAN DATED BIANCA BEFORE SHE MARRIED OJUKWU

Femi Fani-Kayode and Bianca Ojukwu

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode is unwittingly setting the Igbos on edge with the way he has been going about belittling them in his recent write ups.

Apart from supporting Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, on the expulsion of 72 Igbos from Lagos state to Anambra state, he has made further controversial remarks about the wife of late Ndigbo leader, Dim Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, Bianca Ojukwu.resulting to him stating that he shared an intimate  relationship with Bianca.

Read excerpts from his write up yourself:

“I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Bianca Onoh, an Igbo lady, who later married Colonel Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the leader of Biafra and who is now our Ambassador in Spain. I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Miss Chioma Anasoh, another Igbo lady, who I almost married. I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Miss Adaobi Uchegbu, another Igbo lady, who was exceptionally close to me and who is now a leading figure at the National Headquarters of the ruling PDP.”

Thank you Chief Femi Fani-Kayode for the revelation, but it came late after Ikemba had died. Perhaps, this comment would have fanned the embers of another civil war

RACISM: SPECTATOR THROWS BANANAS AT ITALY'S FIRST BLACK MINISTER

A spectator at a political rally threw bananas at Italy's first black minister, Cecil Kyenge, who has already suffered several racist onslaughts since taking office in April.

Integration minister - Cecile Kyenge, who was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was making a speech at the rally on Friday when a member of the audience began to launch the pieces of fruit towards her. The bananas missed the podium where she was speaking but the incident drew a deluge of condemnation in the media, where politicians and commentators lamented the shame brought on the country by that action. 

"Another shameful and disgraceful gesture. Solidarity with the Minister Kyenge. Now let's just isolate the idiots," said Gianni Alemanno, former mayor of Rome.

Shortly before Friday's incident, protesters covered in fake blood the site of the rally in Cervia, central Italy, protesting against Ms Kyenge's proposal to make anyone born on Italian soil a citizen.

Ms Kyenge, who has largely maintained a dignified silence in the face of the abuse, issued a restrained condemnation of the act, calling it "sad" and a waste of food, considering the economic crisis.

"The courage and optimism to change things has to come above all from the bottom up to reach the institutions," she added.

The insults directed at Ms Kyenge since she took office have frequently come from other politicians. Earlier this month a senior parliamentarian in the anti-immigration Northern League party likened her to an orangutan and only apologised after a storm of criticism
