Patience Jonathan's Aide, Amb. Yobana Dumps PDP for APC

The People's Democratic Party in the South-South party of Nigeria has lost another big name to the ruling party.

The Africa’s Representative in the World Youth Assembly, Amb. Marvin Yobana has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
 
It could be recalled that on his birthday on December 31st 2015, APC governorship candidate in Rivers State, Dakuku Peterside predicted that a tsunami would soon hit the PDP in the state. Since then, it has been a gale of defections from the PDP to the APC.

Latest is the defection of Yobana, who was a key aide to the former first lady, Patience Jonathan, and a strong member of the PDP.

He was received by the chairman of APC in Rivers State, Dr Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, APC governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside, Senator Magnus Abe, former SSG, George Feyii, APC secretary in Rivers State, Emeka Bekee, among others.

Yobana confirmed to newsmen that “I have indeed shifted my loyalty to the ruling APC. The APC breathes hope and that is what we want for our youths.”

In the meantime, there is palpable apprehension in the camp of the PDP ahead of Supreme Court’s verdict on the appeal filed by Governor Nyesom Wike, following the nullification of his election by the Election Petition Tribunal, a judgement that was equally upheld by the Court of Appeal.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho on BBC Sport By Okan United

Image
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho on BBC Sport: “It is not the result we wanted but it is a positive result, it is a result that stops a direct opponent getting three points at home so not a bad result. “The game was difficult for both teams but for longer periods it was more difficult for them than us. “We controlled the game not just tactically but the emotion of the game, that was probably the quietest Anfield I had and I was expecting it to be the other way. “I think was a positive performance. “If you analyse the game see the reason why did it, playing Young and Fellaini. We had control of the game – there were two amazing saves by David de Gea it’s true but they were out of context. “The reaction from their crowd was permanent disappointment. People expected us to come here and be really in trouble, which we were not. “The team was always comfortable, we lacked a little bit of sharpness in more attacking positions. There was a moment I thought abo...

Louis Van Gaal Ignores Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes Manchester United criticism

Image
Louis van Gaal brushed aside scathing criticism from the former Manchester United players Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes after the 2-0 Europa League defeat to Liverpool.   Only the heroics of David de Gea prevented a landslide at Anfield, although he was beaten by a first-half Daniel Sturridge penalty and a late close-range strike from Roberto Firmino. “It was shambolic ... so bad,” Scholes told BT Sport. “ Tonight was a disaster. Liverpool had a way of playing. United? I didn’t have a clue what they were trying to do. “United have spent £250m [under Van Gaal] ... they are sixth in the Premier League and have ended up in the Europa League,” added Scholes. “They should be competing with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich [in the Champions League]. United didn’t need a new philosophy, they had one for 20-odd years that worked,” he added in reference to the 38 major trophies won under Sir Alex Ferguson before he retired in 2013. Ferdinand was equally sc...

#Football News: Paris St-Germain Wins Coupe de la Ligue Final

Image
Angel di Maria scored the decisive goal as 10-man Paris St-Germain beat Lille to win France's Coupe de la Ligue for the third year running. Javier Pastore's volley gave Laurent Blanc's side a half-time lead, as Lille appealed for offside. Djibril Sidibe equalised with a free-kick, before PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot was sent off. Di Maria rolled in the winner as keeper Vincent Enyeama inexplicably charged 30 yards from goal to meet the winger. Victory means that PSG remain on course for a clean sweep of domestic trophies, having won the Trophees des Champions and Ligue 1, and with the Coupe de France final against Marseille to come on 21 May. Manager Blanc's future, though, remains uncertain because of his failure to take the club beyond the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League, where they were defeated by Manchester City. Di Maria shot weakly at Enyeama in the opening seconds of an entertaining final at the Stade de France, w...
