The flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) for the 2015 presidential election, Muhammadu Buhari has given
party leader the prerogative to choose his running mate, according to a
report by online news platform, TheCable.
Although the closeness
of Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi to Buhari had made many see him
as the likeliest candidate for the VP slot, but Tinubu’s work to ensure
Buhari wins the primaries has made the presidential aspirant show
appreciation by giving him the VP slot, leaving Amaechi out in the cold.
“Politics
is not winner-takes-all. Tinubu worked round the clock to deliver a
huge chunk of votes to Buhari in the primary, and it is only fair that
he is honoured in return,” an aide to Buhari told the news platform.
Tinubu
is yet to present disclose his choice, according to TheCable, but he is
opposed to Amaechi, who is by far one of the biggest donors to Buhari’s
campaign.
“If the party exco settles for a Muslim/Muslim ticket,
Tinubu himself will be the number one choice. If not, then Adams
Oshiomhole stands the best chance among the rest,” an APC chieftain from
the Southwest told TheCable.
An announcement of the financial choice of Tinubu and the APC is expected next week.

5 reasons you don't get called for interview
By Moruf Kolawole, Nasir.
Yeah! Your CV has been perfected, after reading last week publication you have added the necessary work experience and your CV seems perfect, yet no interview is forthcoming. You have read numerous articles on perfecting CV and have adequately worked on your CV to the extent that you can proudly display your CV to whoever cares to have a glance at it, still, no show. What then is the problem?
It is true that over 202 million people are unemployed around the world; it is also true that over 40% of them are youth. True still is the fact that over 54% of Nigerian youth are unemployed, not to talk of the numerous others that are underemployed. Yet, there is a good news. Companies conduct interviews almost every day of the week. You wonder where they get their candidates form and why they haven’t contacted you for one. The answer is not farfetched; read on.
1. Do you truly align with the job?: In all fairness, do you truly think you are a perfect fit for most of the jobs you applied for? Ask yourself how many of your applications were not hinged on ‘luck trying’. It is a norm among job seekers to try luck in the jobs they know too well that they are not suitable for. Such applications will only waste the hiring manager’s time; they will not take him/her long to sieve them out.
2. Are you qualified for the job?: Remember, the job requires a chartered accountant with six years of work experience, you apply simply because you are chartered, not minding the experience yet you lament of not being invited for interview, how do you expect to be shortlisted where there are other chartered accountants with six and more years scrambling for same job.
3. Did you meet the job requirements?: Job requirements go beyond your work experience and qualifications. Some jobs specifically ask for certain skills and certifications. Just because you meet the ‘major’ requirements does not guarantee you interview invite.
4. Did you research or find out details about the job?: Many job seekers are fond of skimming through job adverts to concentrate only on the ‘method’ of application, without reading through the jobs details and other information about the jobs. Jobs descriptions and details most times contain information that automatically disqualifies applicants from a job. Yet they apply ignorantly, only to come out and claim foul play, if they were not shortlisted for interviews.
5. What is the address on your CV? This appears strange chei? It sometimes affects your chances of getting shortlisted for interviews. This happens mostly in small companies or companies with low salaries who are not ready to handle employees’ relocation palava. Sometimes, the thought of T/fare taking a larger chunk of employees’ salary and thus affect employees’ commitments discourages some business owner. This makes them to jettison the idea of hiring staff from a far distance when there are other candidates in nearby locations. Some job advert explicitly states this (e.g. only applicants who live around lekki should apply) others don’t state it in the job advert yet they use it as one of the criteria for screening out candidates.

The
petition reads in part, “That at the conclusion of accreditation, the
total number of delegates who were eligible to vote was 806 (eight
hundred and six). And this figure was announced loudly to the hearing of
all that were present in the hall, thereby complying with Section 19
Subsection (e) of the PDP Electoral Guidelines. That at the conclusion
of voting the total number of votes cast was 863 (eight hundred and
sixty three) which established over voting.” - See more at:

Protest over PDP senatorial prmaries in Ekiti
Winners have emerged in the Peoples Democratic Party’s primaries held in Ekiti State today.
They are Mr. Duro Faseyi for Ekiti North Senatorial District, Mrs. Fatimat Raji-Rasaki, Ekiti Central while a former Deputy Governor, Mrs. Abiodun Olujinmi, won the Ekiti South ticket.
For the House of Representatives, Segun Adekola won Ekiti South 1; Akin Awodumila, Ekiti South 2; Ayodeji Oladimeji, Ekiti-Central 1; Olamide J. Oni, Ekiti Central 2; Kehinde Agboola – Ekiti North 1 and Thaddeous Aina, Ekiti-North.
But one of the aspirants for the Ekiti Central Senatorial District, Mr. Lateef Ajijola, has accused the party of snatching his ticket for Mrs. Raji-Rasaki.
Ajijola claimed that his victory was upturned by the party after the returning Officer, Mr. Segun Akinwunmi, and the Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Owoseni Ajayi, had duly declared him the winner having polled 108 in the primaries to Mrs. Raji-Rasaki who scored 80.
“After declaring me the winner, I asked for documentary evidence. They told me the result would be given to me at the state party secretariat. On getting to the party secretariat, the place was locked.
“The electoral guideline of the party says the election is invalid if the result is not properly filled and delivered. The primary took place in a peaceful atmosphere but the result was not given.
“The primary went peacefully without complaint from any of the aspirants. Of the 219 delegates, 216 were accredited and three were absent.
“If there was over-voting, you cannot remove it from the results of a particular aspirant. The discrepancy was discovered after the results had been declared and we have left the venue.”
But Ajayi denied declaring Ajijola the winner.
He said, “Our duty is to conduct the election and report to the headquarters. The report was that Fatima’s emerged the winner; she scored the highest lawful vote.”

The Chairman, House Committee on
Communications, Oyetunde Ojo, has allayed fears over possible
impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan by the National Assembly.
Speaking with journalists in Aramoko-Ekiti on Sunday, he said members of the House of Representatives, who recently signed the president’s impeachment notice, did so in anger.
Oyetunde, who has emerged a consensus candidate for the Ekiti Central 11 Federal Constituency for the All Progressives Congress, said, “To be honest with you, although we were recalled to the House that day because of the emergency situation in the North-East, we have only sat once since the recess. The impeachment notice was signed in anger by us.
“You remember that we were tear-gassed that day, the issue has gone beyond the House only. It now concerns us about the survival of our democracy.
“To the best of my knowledge, I do not think there is a serious level of impeachment of the president now, until we resume at the House and hold next session.”
Ojo expressed gratitude to the APC members in Ekiti West, Ijero and Efon Local Government Areas, for choosing him as their sole candidate, saying their decision was in recognition of his landmark achievement during the first four years.

Goodluck Jonathan gets court Injuction to stop Obasanjo's book launch
By Nafisat Nasir, Lagos
The enmity between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and president Goodluck Jonathan has taken a new dimension as the president has use one of his proxies to stop Obasanjo from publishing his book which he titles "My Watch".
The book that is billed to launch this week in Nigeria has three volumes with the third volume dedicated to happenings in government after Obasanjo left government in 2007.
The third part is believed to have highly uncomplimentary details of the incompetence of President Jonathan in handling several national issues. The book also had details of an attempt made by Obasanjo to help Jonathan resolve some national issues that have now ballooned into a major catastrophe for the country.
However, Kashamu Buruji, a sworn enemy of Mr.. Obasanjo has managed to get a court injunction issued by an Abuja federal high court judge stopping Obasanjo from publishing of circulating the book.
According to court documents seen by SaharaReporters, Alex Izinyon (SAN) filed a lawsuit (FCT/HC/M/2392/2014) on behalf of Kasahmu last week seeking an injunction restraining Obasanjo from publishing or circulating his autobiography.
A federal high court judge, Valentine Ashi reportedly granted an order on December 5th to Kashamu barring Obasanjo from publishing or circulating the book until the substantive case is resolved before the court. The case is adjourned till December 10, 2014.
Mr. Kashamu is wanted in the US for drug-related offenses. Recently, he lost all appeals in the US District court in Chicago where he had sought to stop the US justice system from trying him. Mr. Kashamu’s political profile is one of the reasons the former president is at loggerheads with Mr. Jonathan.
Last week SaharaReporters broke the news that President Obasanjo will be releasing his book to the public this week.
Since then President Jonathan has panicked trying every means to stop the former president from launching his book.
Agents of Nigerian secret police,also known as SSS have been sent to grab copies of the book from its publishers but our sources said President Obasanjo is completely in control of copies of the book to be launched and presented to the public soon.
