‘Don’t fail Nigerians’ .Pack and go, Tinubu tells PDP





Niger State Governor and Chairman, Northern Governors’ Forum, Dr. Babangida Mu’azu Aliyu, yesterday in Lagos, advised leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to disappoint Nigerians.
Aliyu is a governor under the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He spoke during the presentation of Alhaji Lai Mohammed’s book: “Witness to History: Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the Struggle for Democracy, Liberty and Justice.” Mohammed is the National Publicity Secretary of the ACN.
In his remarks, Governor Aliyu said that he was one of the first set of people who prayed for the success of the merger among the ACN, All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) which gave birth to APC. He noted that if the merger succeeds, the PDP will stop taking the country for granted.
To the APC leaders, he said: “Don’t fail Nigerians. Don’t allow personal ambition to becloud the general good of the people.” He further stated that “ In USA, there are many registered political parties in the country but whenever election comes, it is only the Republicans and the Democrats that we know.

Racism? Man Says He Was Harassed At Newark Airport Because He’s Black




Jim Jones claims he was the victim of racial profiling at Newark Airport last week — when he was pulled over by 4 white cops, who ordered him out of the car while they searched the vehicle for drugs reports TMZ.
A rep for the “We Fly High” rapper tells us…Jones was at the airport Friday, waiting to pick up a friend (who asks Jim Jones to pick them up from the airport?) when he was approached by a police officer who told Jim he smelled weed coming from Jones’ car.
You can see in the pic…four cops surrounded Jones while he was ordered out of the car and told to place his hands on the trunk. The cops searched both Jim’s person and his car.
Jim’s rep tells us…cops didn’t find a single piece of the green stuff — but still issued Jim a citation for driving without a license.
Jim’s rep says the rapper is furious over the incident…explaining, “He was searched for nothing more than racial profiling.”
A rep for the NY/NJ Port Authority tells us…they were unaware of the situation and are currently looking into it.
