Ekiti Governorship Election, A Must Win _ Buhari



President Muhammadu Buhari has challenged the South-west caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure victory for the party in Ekiti.
The president gave the charge during a dinner meeting with the caucus on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said that the people could achieve the target by ensuring electoral victory for the APC gubernatorial candidate, Kayode Fayemi, in the July 14 governorship election in the state.
Mr Buhari said that members of the party must work together in the state to ensure that the will of the people was not subverted.
“I know Ekiti fairly well and Ekiti people are well known for their forthrightness, candour and integrity.
“All of these values seem to have been lost and we must restore these values and return Ekiti to its pride of place in the comity of states.
“As we approach the 2019 elections, the return of Ekiti into the fold of progressive states is important as the election of July 14 is going to be a key pointer to subsequent elections,’’ he said.
Mr Buhari reiterated his determination never to interfere in the internal affairs of the party at any level. He commended the Minister of Solid Mineral Resources, Kayode Fayemi, for reaching out to his co-contestants who lost in the Saturday primary.
He urged all members and supporters of APC in Ekiti and beyond to see the July 14 governorship poll as a collective mission to rescue Ekiti and promote development.
A leader of the party, Bisi Akande, who spoke to State House correspondents after the meeting, assured that the caucus would do all it could to secure victory for the APC candidate in the election.
Among those at the dinner were Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, a national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu; and National Chairman of APC, John Odigie-Oyegun.

'We sold our home to build a social network'

 Zoe Kleinman The Hughes family in Manchester have quit their jobs and put everything they own into building a social network aimed solely at sports fans. But can they take on the giants? "We see ourselves sitting at the top table with the big boys," says father Perry Hughes confidently. "We don't think we're taking on the competition." It might sound optimistic to put your family business in the same league as the multi-billion dollar social networks but the Hughes family certainly have the passion to give it a go. Their big idea is GameDay Xtra, which has the bold ambition of hosting a page for every single sports team and player in the world - with even the humblest of leagues able to share their own news. Son Sam, 21, has suspended his university studies and works through the night on the project. Daughter Mollie, 18, handles the social media side. GameDay is purely for sports fans, the family say. Members get live...

SAMSUNG DEX REVIEW THE GOOD Super-simple setup Cheaper than most Chromebooks Easy to use Adds Ethernet and two USB Type-A ports THE BAD Small number of officially supported apps Can't snap windows Android multitasking is still weak Images and video don't always look as sharp as they should VERDICT Samsung's $150, puck-shaped DeX station is the slickest attempt yet at turning a phone into a desktop, but this system is definitely a work in progress. Motorola tried it with the  Atrix  and failed. Fujitsu thought about trying it with the  Lifebook 2013  concept, and failed. And a handful of Windows Mobile phones, including the  HP Elite x3 ,  Acer Liquid Jade Primo  and Microsoft  Lumia 950  tried it, and haven't mustered anything more than the most lukewarm of receptions. But that's not going to stop Samsung and its new DeX Station for the  Galaxy S8  from becoming the latest in a l...
