Lagos APC Berates Jandor Over Unfriendly Relationship With PDP Governors, Party Elders

Published

on

The Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday said it is not surprised by the cold war between the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olajide Adediran (Jandor) and the party’s stakeholders.

The party’s Publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo said with his ungovernable attitude, Jandor has further destroyed the non-existent chances of the PDP in Lagos.

Jandor defected from the APC to PDP in January 2022 and was well-received by five governors as well as the national chairman. He won the governorship primary and will fly the PDP’s flag in the 2023 governorship election.

However, some members of the PDP State Working Committee (SWC) had alleged that Jandor is running a one-man show given the manner he chose his running mate, Funke Akindele, a Nollywood actress without consulting with the party elders.

Reacting to the development, the APC said Jandor has ended his political career before it took off and has struck the final nail on the PDP’s coffin in Lagos.

The APC statement reads “We are neither surprised nor disappointed with the turn-out of events for Jandor”.

We have always opined that he is a fluke and a house of cards. He has proved to be ungovernable and aversed to law and order”.

“No platform is certainly big or good enough for someone with an exaggerated opinion of his importance, knowledge, or influence”.

“He has further destroyed the non-existent chances of the Lagos state PDP in the coming elections. Perhaps he struck the final nail on their coffin. He probably ended his political career before it took off”.

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has shut down 150 shops at Eziukwu Market, Aba, Abia State.

The Agency disclosed this in a statement it posted on its X handle on Wednesday.

It said its team uncovered large-scale production and distribution of fake and expired goods, including beverages, carbonated drinks, wines, spirits, vegetable oils, and revalidated food items such as “noodles,” “powdered milk,” and “yoghurt.”

NAFDAC noted that the team destroyed items that were valued at ₦5 billion.

Describing the market as a hub for counterfeit and substandard products, the Agency’s Director in the Southeast Zone, Martins Iluyomade, expressed dismay at the continued illegal activities, despite a previous undertaking signed by market leaders in December 2023 to expose counterfeiters.

The statement added that NAFDAC DG, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, reaffirmed the Agency’s zero tolerance for such practices and emphasised its unwavering commitment to safeguarding public health while working toward a permanent solution to the problem of counterfeit products in the market.

Lil Smart Files Petition Against Naira Marley, Zinoleesky Over ‘Threat To Life’

Published

on

Lil Smart, the Nigerian dancer, has filed a petition against Naira Marley and Zinoleesky over an alleged threat to his life.

On December 9, Smart shared disturbing photos and videos on social media, claiming that his life was at risk.

He warned that Naira Marley and Zinoleesky should be held responsible if anything were to happen to him.

Zinoleesky, however, denied the allegations, accusing Smart of “chasing clout.” He also threatened legal action against the dancer.

In a recent (now deleted) Instagram post, Smart claimed that he had previously endured bullying from the singers but lacked the evidence necessary to take legal action.

He mentioned that he has now officially submitted his petition, with the required evidence, to the authorities and is hopeful that the legal system will provide him justice.

“This has not been the first or third time I have been experiencing this bullying. But I did not have enough evidence to face the law. Now, I thank God that I have very good evidence, and I will put everything I have in line to make sure this bullying and threat to life is stopped,” he said.

“With my evidence, I really hope that they are not too big to be apprehended and face the law. I have submitted my petition, and I have provided my evidence to the authorities. By God’s grace, the law that binds us as citizens of Nigeria will make sure I get the justice I deserve.”

Naira Marley has yet to comment on the allegations.
