Buhari’s Victory: Shell shuts down flow stations in Bayelsa over fear of attack

Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company, SNEPCo, has reportedly shut down some of its flow stations in Southern Ijaw and Ekeremor Local Government Areas of Bayelsa state because of anxiety that ex-militants may attack the facilities following the outcome of the presidential election.

The incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, who lost last Saturday’s presidential election to the President-elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd), is from Bayelsa state, but he had accepted defeat in good fate and urged his supporters to eschew violence.

Why I stepped down for Osinbajo as Buhari’s running mate – Tinubu

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has explained the reason he had to step down for his former State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, as the vice presidential candidate of the party despite his widespread endorsement by the party.

Tinubu, in a statement on Wednesday said though he deserved the VP slot having  worked extra hard moving the party from being merely an idea in the minds of a few into being a political organization that might win this election and govern the nation in way that gives the people the hope and opportunity they seek,  he had to withdraw from being considered for the APC vice presidential position in the interest of the country.

“I have labored hard to move this party from being merely an idea in the minds of a few into being a political organization that might win this election and govern the nation in way that gives the people the hope and opportunity they seek.” He said.
