Chelsea set to sign a new striker

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri admits he wants to strengthen his attack this month.

Sarri hinted at his desire to recruit a striker in the winter transfer window after bemoaning his side's lack of cutting edge in Wednesday's goalless draw with Southampton.

He said: "On the bench I tried to do my job. I think we played a very good match for 80 metres of the pitch, then we were in trouble in the last 20 metres.

"We have to try to solve the problem of the last 15, 20 metres."

Sarri revealed Olivier Giroud's ankle injury is not as bad as first feared, but he dismissed the prospect of recalling Michy Batshuayifrom Valencia or Tammy Abraham from Aston Villa.

He added: "The club knows very well my opinion. I think we need something different for characteristics.

"I'm not in charge of the market. I have to try to improve my players, my team, my offensive phase, or better my offensive phase in the last 20 metres.

"The club knows my position, my opinion. It's up to the board."

Election dates finally announce by INEC

The Independent National Elect0ral Commission (INEC) creates awareness on the dates scheduled for 2019 elections in Nigeria.

See their tweet below;

Save the dates for the  #NigeriaDecides2019 elections:

Presidential & National Assembly elections and
Governorship & State Assembly/Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Council elections.

Interesting : Another whistle blow

The former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, of plotting to field Candidates in the 2019 general elections, in Zamfara State.

According to Fayose, the Federal Government is planning to use the security problems in the State, to impose an emergency rule.

Recall, that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has since declared that it will not accept lists of Candidates from the Zamfara State APC for the 2019 polls, because the party violated INEC’s laws in the conduct of its primaries.

Fayose alleged that the ultimate goal of the planned emergency rule, is to pave the way for a fresh electoral process in the State, to enable the APC field Candidates for the elections.

In a statement on Tuesday, the former Governor, who is the South-West Coordinator of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, said: “With emergency rule, there will only be the Presidential and National Assembly elections in the State, in February, next year, while Governorship and State House of Assembly elections will be postponed till May.

“Using the killings (in the State) to achieve political goals, is not only wicked, but inhuman.”

He urged the Federal Government “to admit its failure, and apologise to the people of Zamfara State, who are left at the mercy of armed bandits.”

Fayose added: “Zamfara State Governor, Abdul-aziz Abubakar, should return home and stand up for his people, instead of staying away and acting political correctness, while his people are being killed.

“The Federal Government must be reminded that under the PDP government of Dr Goodluck Jonathan, emergency rule was declared in three States in the North-East, without dismantling democratic Institutions.”

However, the Federal Government has said that it will not respond to the allegations made by Fayose.

It said that the former Governor was merely looking for recognition.

A source close to the government, said that there was no way the Federal Government would encourage killings, just to score cheap political points.

The source said: “How can we be exchanging words with someone like Fayose? What he wants is recognition. We have decided not to engage him on anything.

“Fayose is down, and you know that he that is down can drag anyone to his level. So, let us leave him to his imaginations.”

Also, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, said that the Electoral body would not respond to the allegations made by Fayose, because it was before the court.

He said: “The Independent National Electoral Commission does not take issues with Politicians, over purely statutory matters. I will also not want to be dragged into the Zamfara issue, because doing so will be subjudice, since it is before a court of law.

“Nigerians are familiar with the Commission’s action on the Zamfara issue, and what led to it. It will therefore, be unwise to react to a purely speculative statement made by an individual on such a serious matter.”

Unbelievable: Obasanjo shake Aso Rock

A former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has called on Nigerians to emulate late President Shehu Shagari’s virtues of forgiveness and forbearance.

Obasanjo who was at the Sama road residence of late Shagari to condole with his family, described him as an epitome of personal integrity and simplicity who was committed to his fatherland.

He recalled that they both served as Federal Commissioners during Yakubu Gowon’s regime during which he proved his honesty and transparency.

“Late Shagari should not be mourned but to be celebrated as a true, honest and sincere leader who was a nationalist to the core; Nigerians has lost a gem,” Obasanjo said.

The former President also revealed how he handed over to his “true friend” in 1979, saying if Nigerians could learn lesson from his habit of forgiveness, they would live in peace with one another.

Responding, the eldest son of the late Second Republic President, Bala Shagari, expressed appreciation for  Obasanjo’s visit and recalled that Obasanjo assisted their late father to own a house in Abuja.

Other dignitaries that condoled with the family included a former Vice President, Namadi Samabo, Senate President Bukola Saraki, the governors of Kaduna, Bauchi and Katsina states as well as the national chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus.

They all prayed Allah to grant the deceased eternal rest.

Atiku's son express his secret to the public

Atiku Abubakar

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has been improving himself and his entire family, through annual executive education on family values, building corporate governance in family businesses and related topics, it has been revealed.

Mustapha Atiku Abubakar, son of the PDP presidential standard bearer, made the revelation on social media on Friday.

He recalls joining these family retreats, which have become an annual ritual for the entire Atiku Abubakar family, as early as when he was only 12 years.

Mustapha, tweeting under the handle @HHMustaphaAA was responding to a Twitter thread of a Tweet chat by Henry Okelue, @4eyedmonk, who was mischievously alluding that Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the PDP in the 2019 Presidential poll, may have had his last self development education 49 years ago.

Fulham win Arsenal transfer target

Arsenal Transfer deal blow off, Fulham in a pole position to sign Chelsea defender.

The 33-year old  Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has been heavily linked with a transfer to Arsenal. As the centre-back targets more game time in the second half of the season.

The Englishman has hardly got a look-in since Maurizio Sarri took over at Chelsea in the summer and has made just sevenappearances in total.

Cahill has managed only 21 minutes in the Premier League and is keen to move on this month.

The Englishman joined Chelsea for almost £7million in 2012. He is a club captain. He has won UEFA Europa League, the Premier League twice, the FA Cup and the League Cup.

The Sun claims, Fulham are close enough to sign Gary Cahill on a six months loan, as Claudio Ranieri aims to kickstart his side’s push for survival.

Fulham picked up crucial points in December but shipped four goals in defeat to Arsenal on Tuesday night.

The Cottagers remain a point from safety and Ranieri hopes Cahill’s experience will be enough to steady a fragile defence.

Chelsea are open to a permanent deal, but will sanction a loan spell should the clubs fail to come to terms.

Arsenal will now have to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements, as Unai Emery is keen to strengthen his club’s defence.

The Gunners bounced back from a 5-1defeat to Liverpool with a 4-1 thrashing of Fulham, but Emery remains concerned about the capabilities of his defenders.

Arsenal have only managed to keep three clean sheets this season. The same number of shutouts West Ham and Huddersfield,Town have claimed.

Author’s Take:

Since Maurizio Sarri joined Chelsea, Dary Cahill couldn’t get much play time. Cahill being is likely to make a move for the club where he could get sufficient playing opportunity. Fulham are interested and almost getting their hand on the defender in order to strengthen their defence.
