APC and PDPThe Kogi State House of Assembly has declared vacant the seat of Hon. Linus Enenche, the member representing Olamaboro Constituency of the state.
The decision taken on Tuesday on the floor of the House in Lokoja followed the recent defection of Enenche from the ruling All Progressives Congress to the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
Enenche lost his seat following a motion moved to that effect by the House Majority Leader, Hon. Bello Hassan Abdullahi.
Abdullahi had hinged his motion on a letter transmitted to the House by the state chairman of the APC, Mr. Abdul Bello, informing the House of Enenche’s defection.
He said that the letter also stated that Enenche will be seeking a return to the house on the platform of his new party, the PDP during the 2019 elections.
By this action, Abdullahi explained that Enenche had contravened Section 109 -1 Sub Section G of the 1999 constitution as amended.
The motion was seconded by Hon Ahmed Mohammed but a member of the PDP in the house objected on grounds that there was no evidence to back the motion.
He also argued that Enenche had already dragged the APC to court over the matter.
The Speaker, Hon. Mathew Kolawole, however, overruled him and put the motion to vote.
Two of the three members present during the plenary voted yes while the only PDP member among them voted no.
Enenche, who later spoke with newsmen, described the action of his colleagues as reckless and unconstitutional.
The lawmaker who spoke on phone said that the matter was already in court, saying that declaring his seat vacant was null and void.
He alleged that the leadership of the House had refused to pay his salary and allowances for the past seven months.
Enenche said all efforts made by him to get his entitlements released proved abortive as the Speaker claimed that he had been directed not to pay him.

Porn star, Stormy Daniels was on Tuesday ordered by a federal judge to
pay President Donald Trump hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal
fees for her failed defamation lawsuit against him. Judge James Otero,
who threw out Daniels' suit against Trump, asked her to pay the US
President $293,052.33 in attorney fees.He wrote:Based on the unique
nature of this litigation and the Court's familiarity with the fees
charged in this jurisdiction, the Court concludes that Defendant's rate
requests are reasonable.Ms Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, who
allegedly had an affair with Trump in 2016 when his wife just had their
son, said last April that she had been threatened by a man in a car park
to keep quiet about the alleged affair.She shared a sketch of the man
who she claimed had threatened her and her child.Mr Trump retweeted the
image, calling it a "total con job", and describing the image as being
of a "non-existent man".With the help of her attorney Michael Avenatti
she took Trump to court. She sued arguing that the president's tweet was
defamatory as it accused Ms Daniels of "committing a serious crime" -
namely, falsely accusing a person of threatening her.But Judge Otero
dismissed the suit in October and said Trump's tweet was a "hyperbolic
statement" against a political foe. Avenatti quickly denounced the
president and his lawyers and downplayed the judge's order on
Twitter. Avenatti tweeted:Stormy will never have to pay the felon Cohen
or Trump a single dime in attorney's fees, costs or sanctions. The award
is dwarfed by the $1.5 million award to be issued in NDA case - the
main case where Cohen and Trump have been lying to the court and the
public. #Criminals.Avenatti is representing Daniels in another lawsuit
against Trump and his former attorney Michael Cohen. Through litigation,
the adult film actress is seeking to void a nondisclosure agreement
(NDA) about her alleged 2006 affair with the president.

Abolaji Onafuye, 54, a Nigerian who claimed his sister and nephew died
in the Grenfell Tower fire to secure accommodation and more than £40,000
has been convicted of fraud. Onafuye who is from Hammersmith, west
London, claimed the cash after telling volunteers he was related to two
real victims of the fire. He was put up in a hotel for nearly a year
before being moved to a flat. Onafuye denied fraud, but was convicted at
Isleworth Crown Court of two counts of frauds by false representation.
He is due to be sentenced at the same court on 18 December. The fire on
14 June 2017 in Kensington killed 72 people. Prosecutor Michael
Phillips, said: "Abolaji Onafuye had no connections to the Grenfell
Tower tragedy but saw an opportunity to benefit himself, both
financially and with accommodation."Our prosecution was able to prove he
had repeatedly and intentionally lied and that his post-arrest story
that it had all been an innocent mistake was just an attempt to escape
the consequences of his cruel deception."

Speed Darlington is known to say a lot of things that people never take
seriously but he just made a speech that's earning him praises on
Instagram.The BangDadaDang crooner told men in a recent video that they
contribute to women's insecurities through the kinds of things they say
and do.He said:Girls them see their beauty through our eyes.If a big
butt pass and you look at it, another girl is looking at you. In her
mind she registers that big butt is in, look at him look at her. So,
when you say negative things about our skin color, it registers in our
girls' mind that we're not beautiful. And this leads to bleaching
cream.Be careful what you say when you're upset. Don't make statements
like; see as she black like amala dudu. Instantly, it has a
psychological effect on the girl. We, guys have responsibility too.
OK?We can't be talking about 'girls don't bleach, girls don't bleach'
yet guys keep saying things to make them insecure and then they end up
bleaching.So, all of us in diaspora from home to abroad...Sharing the

• Steps down panel’s report for further legislative action
A new peace accord has been signed by major political parties and
presidential candidates ahead of the 2019 general elections and so it’s a
good time to look back to the signing of a similar accord in 2015 ahead
of the 2015 general elections.
