Meet the 4 Possible Candidates to Replace Late Abubakar Audu in Kogi

The APC seems to be on the march again as four possible candidates have been selected to slug it out in the party's forthcoming primaries in Kogi state to replace the late Abubakar Audu who passed away while leading in the gubernatorial polls.
According to a report from Leadership newspaper, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi state are considering one of four politicians to replace late Audu Abubakar for the Kogi governorship elections in the soon to be organised party primaries.
The candidates being considered are:

(1) James Enojo Ocholi (SAN)
 
 

(2) Isah Jibrin Echocho
 
 

(3) Hon James Faleke
 
 

(4) Alhaji Yahaya Bello
 


While Faleke is the late Audu’s running mate who would have automatically become the governor if the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC had not declared last Saturday’s governorship poll inconclusive, Yahaya and Ocholi were aspirants in the August governorship primary of the APC. Yahaya came second to Audu in the keenly contested primary election.

Echocho was one of the aspirants in the governorship primary of the rival PDP but switched to the APC after losing to the incumbent, Governor Idris Wada.
 
James Enojo Ocholi remains President Muhammadu Buhari's Minister of State for Labour & Employment and its not clear if he will be dumping his current political appointment for the governorship race.

Jay Z fighting to keep financial & criminal records out of 'Big Pimpin' lawsuit

Image
Rapper Jay Z is asking a judge to keep his financial and criminal records confidential in his 'Big Pimpin' lawsuit, insisting the documents do not pertain to the case. The hip-hop mogul has been locked in a California court battle with Osama Ahmed Fahmy since 2007, after he alleged Jay Z's hit song, Big Pimpin violates his rights to his uncle Baligh Hamdy's Egyptian composition, Khosara, Khosara, which was released in 1957. Jay Z has maintained the song is protected under a previous licensing agreement made by producer Timbaland when the song was released in 2000, but a trial date has been set for later this year if the two parties cannot come to an agreement.
