Dortmund’s English midfielder Jadon Sancho jumps for a ball during the German first division Bundesliga football match BVB Borussia Dortmund v Augsburg in Dortmund, western Germany on August 17, 2019. (Photo by Ina FASSBENDER / AFP)  Jadon Sancho’s asking price is unlikely to be met by potential suitors Manchester United and Liverpool, according to Borussia Dortmund chief executive Joachim Watzke. Dortmund’s season ended on a deflating note on Saturday as they were thrashed 4-0 by Hoffenheim to finish 13 points adrift of Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. While the club have now waved goodbye to Mario Gotze and Real Madrid loanee Achraf Hakimi, they remain hopeful of keeping hold of winger Sancho. The 20-year-old England international is under contract until 2022 and despite being linked to a return to his homeland, Watzke doubts Premier League clubs such as United and Liverpool can pay what Dortmund want.

By John Mayaki “There is always an entry point and also an exit point”, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole said, addressing journalists, confirming his acceptance of the NEC dissolution of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC). For a man whose oratory brews words, pressing them into sweetened honey able to captivate an audience, Comrade Adams did not fail to briefly cast the gaze of his listeners backward in a press conference held in an afternoon he dubbed a session of few words but much wisdom. Yet it was worthy, due, and even necessary, to look backward at that point. At least from 2018 when Oshiomhole, invited by the President, enjoyed massive support that spanned across the six Nigerian geopolitical zones—it was instructive to look, again, at things. And when it was done, what we found, if we must be honest, is that the former two-tenure Edo Governor is an achiever who has now decided to step aside in style and pride. Oshiomhole walked into the APC leadership...

By Chioma Gabriel, Editor Special Features Just recently, the governors of the southeast and other political leaders in the region including the Ohanaeze Ndigbo met in Enugu where they discussed a myriad of problems confronting the Igbo including security and economic issues. They feared southeast could be under siege following recent movement of youths from the northern states despite the Covid-19 pandemic lock-down.

Barely three days after taking a position on regional security and an instruction to the Houses of Assembly  to expedite work on the bill to give the initiative a legal backing, the governors reverted to working with the Inspector General of Police on community policing which was their initial position. The Igbo man seem to be battling with decisive indecision, discordant concord and absolute confusion. Although Buhari has spent only a year into his second term in offi...
