"I have been travelling long before now and now I need a long rest. I am 70 and I need to tidy up my memoirs and if you want to do that, you need a lot of time away from all of the hassles. But it does not mean I will no longer be a Nigerian. I have no personal grudge against Buhari or all the other people. We are in two different parties with different ideologies and if he is the President, I have no objection and I wish him the best of luck. The break will give me time. Rather than running up and down to Abuja, I will be there (abroad) writing my memoirs and doing other things for myself. Of course I will come back, my mother is still alive. I am not scampering out of Nigeria.”

INEC Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega says he will be leaving office in June this year when his tenure as Chairman of the electoral body ends. In an interview with BBC Hausa, Professor Jega said even if he is asked to continue in office, he would not.


"I am grateful to God. I was asked to come and contribute my own quota to the national development and I have done my bit to the best of my ability. Whatever assignment one will do for five years, just like this difficult one to me, if one is able to successfully accomplish the task, someone else should be given the opportunity. Because for me I am not interested & if I am requested to serve again, I will not do it, by God’s grace" he said. Prof. Jega came into office in 2010 after the tenure of predecessor, Prof Maurice Iwu, expired.

  This report is according to HollywoodLife.com. Read below...
Tyga has put an end to his relationship with Kylie Jenner, according to a new report. The rapper apparently thought that things have moved too fast between him and his teen girlfriend, so he’s decided to move on.
Tyga, 25, has called it quits with Kylie, 17, according to a new report. These two have been dating on the down-low for a while — but now sources are allegedly saying he is throwing in the towel on the relationship after finding out some shocking news!

The “Rack City” rapper has allegedly broken up with the KUWTK star because, “things got way too serious,” which has scared him away, according to a new report from Life&Style. Additionally, the strain of having to hide their relationship due to their age difference allegedly created turmoil between the two.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Sources allegedly tell the magazine Kylie may be carrying Tyga’s baby. “The thought of Kylie being pregnant really scared the hell out of Tyga,” a source says tells the magazine. “She never saw the end coming.” While Tyga has allegedly ended things willingly, Kylie is apparently “devastated about the split.”

in on 18:51:00

According to political analysts, the South East has lost the opportunity of producing the next Senate President or the Speaker of the House of Representative in the Gen Buhari-led administration come May 29th. According to political calculations, anyone who is to occupy these positions must come from the ruling party. Since the number one and two positions have already been taken by Gen Buhari a Hausa man and Prof Osinbajo, a Yoruba man, the Ibos were favored to produce the third key official, the Senate President.

But with all the 15 senatorial seats in the South East states of Anambra, Abia, Imo, Enugu & Ebonyi won by the PDP in last week's elections, the Ibos may have lost out in producing the next Senate president. Senator Chris Ngige representing Anambra Central senatorial district who many believe was being positioned by the APC to be the next Senate President lost his bid to return to the Senate to PDP's Uche Ekwunife.
