2019 Elections: Lagos SDP Rejects Buhari, Backs Atiku Abubakar

-
Lagos State chapter of Social Democratic Party (SDP) on Wednesday dissociated itself from what it termed the “purported” endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term of office by the party’s the National Executive Council (NEC), saying it could not have done so when Buhari’s first term in office had been a dismal failure.
Rather, the party said it concurred with the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere in endorsing the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as one to be voted for in coming election holding this Saturday.

The party said this in a joint statement issued by its chairman, Otunba Tunde Onakoya, and the governorship candidate, Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, copy of which was made available to newsmen, declaring that nothing could have called for Buhari’s endorsement as under his watch, Nigeria’s GDP had declined, while Direct Foreign Investment (DFI) dropped, the stock market weakened, the cost of petrol, diesel, kerosene and food items multiplied, among others.

Trump: North Korean leaders 'won't be around much longer' if they strike US If North Korea's foreign minister hoped to draw a response from U.S. President Donald Trump with his Saturday speech to the U.N. General Assembly, he succeeded. "Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N.," the president tweeted late Saturday. "If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!"

The address by Ri in New York City began as the
