Bello commissions road project in Kogi
Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has inaugurated the Okene-Kuroko-Eika-Ikaturu-Itakpe road project, recently completed by his administration in the central senatorial district of the state. Bello at the inauguration in Okene said the road would boost the economic activities in the area and would also ease the transportation of people, goods and services. He said his administration had over the past three years made efforts to ensure that every part of the state benefited from its infrastructure plans. The governor thanked the people of Okene for their continued “massive supports” of his administration, noting that they would not be disappointed if he is reelected at the forthcoming election. Governor Bello during an earlier courtesy call on the Ohinoyi of Ebira land, Alhaji Dr Ado Ibrahim, noted that his administration has made modest achievements, saying his campaign team was in the area to canvass for the people’s votes.

He expressed the optimism that Governor Bello would come back wiser and well equipped with more experience in his second term to deliver good governance to the people of the state. Related

SOKOTO: Court Orders Fresh Election in Sokoto North/Sokoto South Federal…
The Court of Appeal, Sokoto Division has ordered fresh election in the Sokoto North/Sokoto South Federal Constituency of the state. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Alhaji Bala Hassan of All Progressive Congress (APC) as the winner of the 2019 election into the constituency. But People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the election, Abubakar Abdullahi filed a petition at the Elections Tribunal, alleging that the poll was marred by irregularities. The tribunal dismissed the petition stating that the petitioners failed to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt. However, the PDP candidate appealed against the judgement of Election Petitions Tribunal at the Court of Appeal. Delivering the verdict, Justice Frederick Oho of the Court of Appeal said the appeal succeeded. Justice Oho then ordered INEC to conduct rerun election within 90 days. The Court of Appeal in Sokoto has also sacked Senator representing Sokoto South, Abubakar Shehu Tambuwal and Member representing Bodinga/Dange Shuni/Tureta Federal Constituency, Aliyu A A Shehu, both of the All Progressives Congress. It ordered the return of the PDP candidates Ibrahim Danbaba for senate and Balarabe Kakale for House of Representatives.

Delivering the judgement Wednesday the judge Federich Oho, said Danbaba and Kakale’s appeals succeeded.

Super Eagles' outfit to the last World Cup finals at Russia 2018 still continue to resonate in the global football space following its nomination among the best shirts don by football teams in the last 52 years. According to a survey carried out by BBC Sports yesterday, Nigeria's home attire which was also used at AFCON 2019 last summer in Egypt was among the best 20 since 1966 when England won the FIFA World Cup on home soil in a 3-2 win against the then West Germany at the Wembley Stadium. The survey to select the best outfit was carried out by seasoned football writers and visitors to the site are expected to vote for the best among the 20-team shirts and the results will be published today (Thursday). That Super Eagles' jersey to the Mundial took the world by storm few weeks before Russia 2018 kicked off. Fans queued for hours outside Nike's flagship store in London to get their hands on one. Three million pre-orders of the replica shirts, sold out almost immediately after they were released. Interestingly, it was the jersey that gave the Super Eagles its only win at the World Cup with a 2-0 win against Iceland but crashed out in the Group phase with 0-2 and 1-2 loss to Croatia and Argentina respectively. Other shortlisted jerseys aside England's outfit at 1966 include, FC Celtic in 1967, Brazil's World Cup winning team at Mexico 1970 which was very similar to most other Brazil kits, but this one was a retro classic and the last shirt Pele sported before retiring from international duty. Also on the list is FC Chelsea shirt in 1970 and FC Ajax of 1971 which was simple but an absolute beauty. It was in this kit that Ajax beat Panathinaikos 2-0 at Wembley as they won the first of three consecutive European Cup finals. Mexico jersey to Argentina 1978 was also selected just as Argentine' Boca Juniors shirt of 1981 made the list of iconic shirts. Belgium outfit in 1984; FC Liverpool 1984 as the Reds wore a near-identical home shirt from 1983-1985, but this sponsorless edition worn for the 1984 European Cup final in Rome stands out. Joe Fagan's side beat Roma on penalties that night, and the famous shirt was used to inspire the Reds' 2019-20 kit. Denmark's outfit at Mexico 1986 is also in the mix same with the Netherlands' outfit with which they won the 1988 Euro Cup tournament. Colombia's outfit, England and that of eventual winners, the then West Germany made it. Interestingly, the Germans' slick designed outfit was adopted by Nigerian clubside, Iwuayanwu Nationale of Owerri.
Akwa United utility man, Ndifreke Effiong has become the first player to score 10 goals in the race to win this season’s Eunisell Boot Award. Effiong, who plays in various positions from the defence, midfield, and attack, netted his 10th goal of the 2019/20 season in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) on Sunday when his team Akwa United played host to Warri Wolves at the Nest of Champions in Uyo. However, Effiong’s goal in added time of the second half could only save the blushes of the ‘Promise Keepers’ from defeat at home as they played out a 1-1 draw with Warri Wolves. The breakdown of the 10 goals scored by the Akwa United man shows that only two have been from the penalty spot while the others have come from open play. The former Abia Warriors attacking midfielder now sets the pace in the race for the Eunisell Boot Award but will have to look over his shoulders with a very formidable field of chasing pack breathing down his neck. Effiong is now a goal better than Enyimba forward, Victor Mbaoma who fired blanks in his team’s 0-2 defeat at Nasarawa United on Sunday. Mbaoma is currently on nine goals. The trio of Tasiu Lawal of Katsina United, Plateau United’s Ibrahim Mustapha and Rangers striker Israel Abia is on eight goals each. The Eunisell Boot Award, created by Eunisell, West Africa’s largest independent chemicals, and engineering solutions group, aims to help increase the standard of the NPFL by rewarding the season’s top scorer with N200,000 for each goal scored.
