NIGERIA: ONDO STATE GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION DILEMMA
The closest hint was to say God will choose his successor. That was in February. More than two months after, Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko, is at sea as to who his successor should be. The governorship poll holds on November 26. He is in his second tenure which ends on February 23, 2017.
YOU MEAN HE HASN'T FOUND SOMEONE HE TRUSTS NOT TO SEND THE EFCC AFTER HIM
Investigations revealed that the governor is still seeking for the most suitable out of his aides. That, it was learnt, is why most of the contestants who have indicated interests are members of his cabinet. The governor, according to investigations, has asked those of them closet to him to throw their hats into the contest.
Some of those in the race from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) include: Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General, Eyitayo Jegede; Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Bamiduro Dada, his Ministry of Environment counterpart, Chief Sola Ebisemi and former Director General of the National Sports Commission(NSC), Gbenga Elegbeleye.
There is also the former Presidential Adviser on Niger Delta, Kingsley Kuku whose ambition has however suffered serious setbacks following his troubles with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Kuku, whose structure was well-oiled, has since faded into oblivion since he left for the United States of America purportedly for medical attention.
There are reports that a Public Relations consultant, Tokunbo Modupe, who is extremely close to Mimiko is also in the race.
For sure, Mimiko, like every other governor, is keenly interested in installing his successor. He is however in serious dilemma as to who to support to win the contest. His biggest concern is the All Progressives Congress (APC), which appears to have ceded the slot to Ondo North.
Should the opposition party carry through this strategy, it will constitute a big challenge to the PDP’s run for the Agbalaka Government House. This is because most of its candidates are from Ondo Central and South. The APC however parades a galaxy of prominent contestants from Ondo North with the hope of playing on the agitation for power shift to ride to the governorship seat.
Sources say Mimiko is very disposed to Jegede succeeding him. Jegede is one of the longest serving cabinet members, having been a commissioner since 2009. The Akure-born lawyer is close to the governor. He is hugely popular in Akure and is riding on the sentiment that Akure is the only zone from the Old division yet to produce a governor.
But he is from the same senatorial zone with Mimiko. The governor is wondering if voters will accept someone from the same zone after his eight-year reign.
Ebiseni is from the Ondo South. The lawyer was a former chairman of the old Ilaje/Ese-Odo Local Government Area. The Commissioner for Environment, Ebiseni commands tremendous influence among political stakeholders in the state.
A grassroots politician with a deep knowledge of the politics of the state, Ebiseni also has the financial wherewithal to run the race. But the agitation for power shift does not favour him.
Modupe is chairman of TPT International. But the close pal of Mimiko is mostly in Akure these days reportedly to fine tune strategies on his governorship ambition. He has also taken up a chieftaincy title in addition to building a palatial mansion on a six-acre in Akure for more space on political meetings.
The Owo-born is favoured by power shift agitation. But he will be a hard sell to politicians in the state because he has been a party man. Sources close to Mimiko say he is bidding his time to see where the APC will move to know which of his preferred candidates to finally unveil for the contest.

BOXING & FOOTBALL: Jose Mourinho pictured with Anthony Joshua after IBF Heavyweight title win
Jose Mourinho was at the O2 arena to see British-Nigerian Anthony Joshua (real names Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua) claim the IBF Heavyweight crown from Charles Martin inside two rounds. The Portuguese then surprisingly waited patiently in the queue of well wishers to congratulate him on becoming the new IBF heavyweight king.
“Jose was watching the build-up and then decided, all of a sudden, he wanted a ticket last-minute,” said Joshua.
“They managed to get him a seat and I met him afterwards.
“I’ve met him before and he remembered me. We had a good five-minute chat. I respect him. We were in the changing room and he’s a cool guy. He just congratulated me. There were some good faces there. I saw Jess Ennis, too.”
Boxing Promoter Eddie Hearn was shocked when he saw Mourinho and says his presence shows how big Joshua is becoming.
“We didn’t even know he was coming,” said the Matchroom Sport MD. “He just rocked up at half-six at the Arena and started texting people to get in.
“He then queued up at the changing room to meet him. AJ is a massive star. He is the new figurehead of British boxing.”

RACE MATTERS: NYPD Refused To Arrest White Trump Hotel Exec Who Allegedly Assaulted Black Mom In Front Of Her Kids
Nathan Crisp, 34, has been charged with assault after allegedly twice throwing 27-year-old Sheneik
McCallum to the ground in front of her children during a row over her parking on Easter Sunday.
Rather than being booked in at a police station, he was given a desk ticket and sent on his way ahead of a court appearance on May 2 – something McCallum says is ‘disrespectful’.
Speaking to the press Thursday, she said, ‘You know, to get a desk appearance ticket after you slam me to the floor… he could have broke my back, I could have been dead in front of my own two kids.
‘I feel like it’s unreasonable and it’s disrespectful. That’s all I have to say.’
Crisp – whose now deleted LinkedIn page says he is vice president of revenue management and distribution at Trump Hotels – is accused of flying into a rage after Ms McCallum pulled over outside his building to check her baby was secured in its car seat.
Ms McCallum said she pulled over outside the affluent Brooklyn apartment block to check on her child when Crisp shouted at her to get off the private property, where condos cost up to $6,000 a month.
He is claimed to have blocked in the young mother’s car with his own vehicle before attacking her, community advocate Tony Herbert told the New York Daily News.
Police say Crisp threw her to the ground twice during the heated exchange on Sunday. Crisp furiously denied the allegations, saying: ‘I am totally innocent of all charges and look forward to defending this matter in court at which time I am confident that I will be fully vindicated.
I don't see/read all these fake A** celebrities boycotting these racist organisations... Immigrant Donald Trump has made known how much hate/racism there is in U.S.A...

U.S.A: Former cop tries to commit suicide after being found guilty of molesting a nine-year-old family member
He was found guilty of molesting the girl, who was a family member, between July 2011 and July 2012.
The victim was 9 when the abuse started and she was in court to testify against the former cop. He was already retired when he started abusing the child.
Lori drank the poison as soon as he was convicted of two counts of aggravated child molestation and two counts of child molestation but nobody noticed he had poisoned himself until he was taken from the court to DeKalb Jail, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
It was at the jail that deputies learned that Lory had consumed a poisonous liquid and they immediately rushed him to Grady Memorial Hospital.
Lori was treated for poison after he drank the unidentified liquid from an over-the-counter vitamin bottle on Thursday.
Lory, who was arrested in December of 2014, faces two life sentences plus 40 years and will be sentenced at a later date.
