The leader of the union announced the suspension on Sunday.

It came after an emergency meeting of its organs – the National Working Committee and the National Executive Committee.

At the meeting, talks were focused on the strike and the way forward.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu   All Progressives Congress, APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demanded the resignation of the national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun who he claimed Sunday had derailed from the path of progressives.   In a stinking communiqué from his media office, Tinubu accused Oyegun of sabotaging the will of democracy in Ondo State by overriding the decision of the appeal panel that asked for a fresh governorship primary following investigations that showed that the delegates’ list used had been tampered with. Tinubu in the communiqué further alleged that Oyegun’s action in allegedly subverting the will of the people was not of his doing, saying that for a man of the age of the national chairman to have done what he did that he must have been under the influence of a “powerful and sinister arm at work.”   Tinubu who said that the APC was now under threat of being suffocated by anti-democratic forces preten...

I would like to explain the reason of Old Trafford being called "The Theatre of Dreams" through a story. Here it goes: Railway workmen came together to play football once and dared to dream. A dream to make something more of their lives. That is Manchester United. . The team lost its first ever competitive game 6-0 to Bolton Reserves. . It got relegated in its second season of competitive football. . In January 1902, it was asked to shut down because of debts.  It didn't. Instead it came back up and won the league, a FA Cup and a charity shield 2 years later.  That is Manchester United. From 1922 to 1940, United were relegated again and again and again. Faced with bankruptcy in 1931, United were on the verge of disaster again. Instead, the team held on and fought on.  Finishing 2nd in 1947, 1948 and 1949; 1st in '52, 55 and 56. It won the FA Cup in 1948 and became the first English team to play in Europe. It had to...
