Boko Haram members have prevented Yobe state governor, Ibrahim Gaidam, from voting.
A statement from the Director General, Media affairs to the governor, Abdullahi Bego, said the early morning attacks by the sect members in the state prevented the governor from partaking in the exercise. He said the security agents advised the governor to sacrifice participating in the election.
This is because of the incident in Gaidam town early in the day, which has already been brought under control and voting is now underway there, the security agencies would naturally seek to reinforce and increase security around the governor for him to travel to cast his vote.
“That increased security around the governor will mean that vital security resources that are needed elsewhere in the state would have to be diverted and allocated to the governor.
“The government made the decision – in consultation with the security agencies – that it is better and more useful for the security agents, including soldiers, police, Civil Defence, DSS, etc to focus their attention on providing security for the election throughout the state.
“As things stand now, voting is going on successfully across the state and His Excellency Governor Gaidam is pleased and grateful to the people for the large turnout at polling units throughout the state”.
Governor Geidam, who is also a senatorial candidate in the Presidential and National Assembly election, commended security agencies for their effort to ensure a peaceful and successful election across the State.

A United Kingdom-based preacher, Apostle ATB Williams says President Muhammadu Buhari is God’s last chance for Nigeria, stressing that, many Christian leaders chose to deceive people because of what they were gaining from previous administrations.
Apostle Williams who says he has never benefited from any Nigerian government told his congregation that God showed him that Buhari will win despite concerted efforts against his candidature in 2019.
Many efforts have been made to rubbish the person of President Buhari including claims that he is attempting to Islamize Nigeria. Others claimed he was cloned following his illness in 2017, to the extent that he was widely labeled ‘Jubril of Sudan’.
“They mislead Nigerians to pray against God’s anointed because he is a Muslim,” he said in a sermon to his church congregation.
“When the Holy Spirit told me that the man will rule Nigeria, all of them were saying the man will not, before the election of the man,” he said.
“I have no businesses in Nigeria, you know, I have no sharing in the government money or in all those stuff in Nigeria. So I have no reason to be biased. The Holy Spirit told me the man would rule Nigeria and He showed me 4 years for the man to rule Nigeria and bring Nigeria back to its position but the liars who called themselves Christian leaders in Nigeria lied to the people only because they had participated in ungodly act with the politicians.
Apostle Williams added that, “In a short term their judgment will begin. I am telling you what I have seen. Some people will mourn and weep when they open their Pandora’s boxes are out.
“Listen to me, because of that, Christians in Nigeria got biased instead of them to pray for their Cyrus they kept their mouth shut or they wish him evil. But the man is sick and the spirit of the man his crying who shall help me and the Christians God sent there have been lied to so they turn against him.
Watch video here:
“Therefore the people who rule in darkness afflicted him. The one who have the authority to free his affliction, Satan turned them against him. They will answer with their life in eternity,” he said.
“Listen to me, Cyrus was ungodly, God said to Cyrus I will lift up your hand to subdue nations, I will open before double double doors so that doors shall not be shut against you. He said I will break down the gate of bronze and cut through the bars of iron because you let my people go.
“Buhari is God’s last chance for Nigeria. if Nigeria miss it, I am sorry. Many years ago God took me to the future of Nigeria and showed me.
Apostle Williams said he was open to any challenge from any man of God who claims to have heard differently from God. “I’m going to Nigeria next year to teach and talk to them. I want anybody who thinks he can hear God to come and talk to me publicly, unedited.”
Apostle Alfred Williams is the general overseer of Christ Faith Tabernacle, a church that he started in September 1989 after a revelation from God.
As of today the church has been planted in various Nations spanning through four continents.
Ghanaian actress, Ella Mensah has revealed that she’s had sex in a plane.
Ella made this revelation in a recent interview with SunNews, the actress said, “I once had sex in a plane. It was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever done. But at the same time, it was so much fun.”
The actress also recounted an encounter she had with armed robbers in Lagos and the promising relationships she lost to save her career.
“In 2018, I almost lost my life. Armed robbers attacked me on my way home from a movie location in Lagos. It was scary! But I’m grateful to God for saving my life and for blessing me afterwards.
Another unforgettable experience was when I lost two relationships because of acting. Both men had problems with me playing some roles and eventually asked me to quit acting, which I refused. One even asked me to choose between him and my career. Obviously, I chose my career. Most African men are extremely jealous and can’t stand another man kissing their woman, even in a movie. It’s sad though; I guess it’s what it is” she said.
