One of them, the APC South East Renaissance Group (ASERG) which made this known during a press briefing on Thursday in Abuja said the South-east deserves the position. The other, the North Central Progressive Forum (NCPF), wants the position zoned to the North-central region.

Angel believed there were to be 12 or 16 housemates so the eviction was believable. DeeOne explained the fake eviction was a reality check for him.

BREAKING: Onnoghen Ordered To Enter Defense As CCT No-case Submission The Code of Conduct Tribunal on Friday dismissed the no-case submission filed by the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, and asked him to open his defence in respect of the six of false and non-declaration of assets preferred against him. The three-man bench of the CCT led by Danladi Umar, which earlier took arguments of parties on Friday, held that Onnoghen had case to answer and should enter his defence. Contrary to the contention by Onnoghen’s legal team that the three witnesses called by the prosecution failed to give credible evidence to prove the case, the CCT held that the admission to the alleged offences by the embattled top judicial officer showed that there was a prima facie case against him.
