No holding back: Jose Mujica is continuing to criticise FIFA
Uruguayan President Jose 'Pepe' Mujica has labelled FIFA "a bunch of old sons of bitches" in his latest attack on world football's governing body.
In a video uploaded to YouTube by journalist Sergio Gorzy, Mujica can be seen clasping his hand to his mouth in faux shock at what he's just said, before dismissively declaring "publish it."
In what may be seen as an unnecessary ramping up of tensions between the Rioplatense nation and FIFA, Mujica is risking damaging his country's chances of hosting the 2030 World Cup final at Montevideo's El Centenario Stadium.
The centenary edition of international football's premier competition is widely expected to be co-hosted by Argentina and Uruguay as a nod to the first-ever tournament in 1930, but the continued attacks on the footballing authorities are threatening Uruguay's relationship with Fifa.
Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has lost one of his sons in a car crash. Hamza El-Rufai died Tuesday morning in Abuja. The former Minister and Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, broke the news on his faceboook page today. El-Rufai wrote: “From Allah, we came and to Him we shall return. Please join our family in praying for the repose of the soul of my son, Hamza El-Rufai who died in a motor accident in Abuja.” See more photo below:
The remains of the female politicians, who died in a ghastly auto accident have been laid to rest at the Bayelsa State cemetery, Azikoro in Yenagoa, the state capital. President Goodluck Jonathan his wife, Dame Patience and the Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson as well as wives of the Anambra and Ekiti State Governors joined other sympathizers at a special memorial service in honour of the deceased women at the Dr. Gabriel Okara Cultural Centre, in Yenagoa.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said that he did not join the All Progressive Congress (APC) so as to run for the Presidency in 2015, but to nurture the party and ensure that good governance is entrenched in Nigeria come 2015. Atiku who spoke in an interview with the BBC Hausa service, monitored in Kaduna on Monday, maintained that if it were because of a presidential ambition, he had clear chances of occupying the number one seat when he was in office with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, or even recently when he was in the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN ). He said he let that go in the interest of the nation. Atiku vowed that he would never return to the PDP, saying that from all indications, the party would no longer be what it used to be.
