PDP hits back at Tinubu over Kogi poll prediction



The Kogi State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has slammed former governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his alleged demeaning statement about Governor Idris Wada.

The reaction comes after the All Progressives Congress leader reportedly predicted a loss for Wada in the upcoming governorship poll.

“One emperor came to our state to say Governor Idris Wada is a goner. He is not God neither is our state Lagos where one man is more powerful than the state," Yomi Ogunmola the state Publicity Secretary, said."The only powerful people here are you Kogites. No godfather rules Kogi State. Kogi State is bigger than any single individual or group of people,” the spokesperson said.

The official said the citizens of the state will determine the political destiny of Wada on Saturday and not some "power thirsty godfathers from Lagos or group of Lagos business men who see politics as an avenue of investment."

“No human being outside this state no matter how highly placed, powerful or rich can determine what will happen here on Saturday. Kogi people will guard their votes with their lives,” PDP added.Wada is the incumbent in the elections set for the weekend.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ .
