Amaechi, Uduaghan walk out of PDP peace meeting

THE fence-mending efforts by the Peoples Democratic Party failed on Sunday when the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi,   Delta  State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and some other dignitaries walked out of the party’s South-South zonal meeting.
The Port Harcourt meeting took place just as the  factions of the PDP in the South-West disagreed on the outcome of a similar  parley in the zone.
Our  correspondent in Rivers reported that  Akwa Ibom State Governor and Chairman of the PDP Forum, Chief Godswill Akpabio, had begun  addressing the gathering  when Amaechi  and Uduaghan  walked out.
But the  PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, who was present at the meeting, defended the governors’ action.
He specifically referred to Uduaghan, whom he claimed rushed home to attend to an important  family  matter.
However, the Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mrs. Ibim
Semenitari  said that  Amaechi left the venue of the meeting  to see off  the Delta State governor.
Amaechi did not return to the venue before the meeting ended.

Why Basket Mouth's wife must give him 8 children

I’ve known her for about 10 years. When I met her the first time, she was doing shakara and when a girl does shakara for me, I love it. That is when I will even get more interested in her. She gave me a fake number and when I called, a guy picked up the phone and insulted me, and told me to never call him again. So I decided to go back to where I met her and went to the same spot for three nights until I saw her again and she gave me the right number. When I called her, she started giving me attitude. Out of anger one day when we were talking, I cut the call, deleted her number, cleared the call log and I now started looking for the number again (laughs). Then one day I bumped into her when her school was having a party. We started talking and that is how it began. She suffered me oh, so as her punishment, she must give me 8 children. But I love her so much and that is all that matters"

Lolzzz....see punishment
