Obasanjo's endorsement of Peter Obi is inconsequential as he alone has one vote. And as a matter of fact, how many candidates has won an election based on Obasanjo's endorsement? Obasanjo that cannot even win his own ward in Abeokuta.

PDP will still win Rivers State in the Presidential election come next year whether Wike likes it or not. He has only one vote. He is being selfish and I believe the large majority of Rivers electorate cannot be cajoled by Wike's selfish reason for not ing Atiku

What a shame to the Ex-Governor. Though, the woman must have benefited financially from the Ex-Gov while he was in government. But business can only thrive if family and friends pay for whatever they buy. They should not be wasting their dirty linens in the public

Is this a statement of giving up on the fight against insecurity from the Mr President?

However, people wishing to stay for longer than six months are still required to obtain visas. People traveling to take up courses longer than six months, people settling with their families are required to obtain visas.
Business visitors are also eligible to travel without visas The following persons need a visa for the United Kingdom:
Since 1 July 2009, nationals of South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland need a visa to enter or transit through the UK.

You will have your digital photograph taken at the same time and the whole procedure should take no more than five minutes to complete.
You should make sure that you do not have any decoration (such as henna), or any cuts or other markings on your fingertips before having your finger scans.
