NGF: Mimiko Challenges Amaechi, Proof That i Voted
The Ondo State governor in a statement in Akure was reacting to Amaechi’s claim that he (Mimiko) voted at the controversial election which Governor Amaechi was said to have won.
Mimiko said: “Amaechi should not hide under religion to cover up his anti-democratic dispositions. Nothing stops Governor Amaechi from proving to the world that I voted by using the same video he has been using to tell the public that there was an election.
“If Amaechi is saying I voted at the election, I think he should prove it to the whole world that I did. I sincerely believe that a process must have led to the declaration of result contained in their few minutes video clip. That later part can’t come in isolation. I challenge him to show the entire proceedings, including where I voted”.
According to him, “Amaechi should tell the world whether or not he presided over his own election despite cries that he should step aside for an interim chairman to preside over the same election as it is the practice in any democratic setting
“He should also tell the world whether or not he was the sole provider of ballot papers and ballot box used for the charade where he was also a contestant.
“He should tell the world why he insisted he must contest for another term even when he knew it negates the norm in the Forum.”

Venue: Roland Garros, ParisTime: 14:00 BST
Serena Williams remains on course to win a second French Open title
after powering through to the final, where she will face defending
champion Maria Sharapova.
The world number one and the second seed will meet on
Saturday after coming through their semi-finals in very different
manners.
Williams thrashed Italy's Sara Errani 6-0 6-1 to reach her first Roland Garros final since she won the tournament back in 2002.
Sharapova had earlier coped with a rash of double faults to beat Victoria Azarenka 6-1 2-6 6-4.
"To come back as the defending champion, it's extremely special to get back on that stage where it comes down to the last two players of the tournament," said the Russian.

"I know the game plan, and I'm going to be confident and step into the court with self believe. |

FIFA TO TEST MIKEL OBI AND ODUAMADI FOR DOPING
The duo were instrumental to the team’s victory over the boastful Harambee Stars who played behind a full capacity stadium in Kasarani.
Varese winger, Nnamdi Oduamadi particularly was a thorn in the flesh of the Stars defence and was clear on goal at the restart but his shot from inside the box when one-on-one with goalkeeper Ochieng was blocked to safety.
CSKA Moscow striker, Ahmed Musa scored an 81st minute goal, to give the Super Eagles of Nigeria a 1-0 victory over the boastful Kenyans.
With this result, the African champions now have eight points from four matches to lead Group F ahead of Malawi, who are on six points after they were held to a goalless draw in Blantyre also on Wednesday by third-placed Namibia.
Nigeria’s next opponent in the World Cup qualifier will be against Namibia next Wednesday, while Malawi host Kenya in continuation of the qualifying tournament.

US issues fresh travel alert on NIGERIA
The
United States has issued fresh travel alert on Nigeria, warning its
citizens not to travel to North and nine other states in South.
The US predicated the alert on the
emergency rule in Yobe, Adamawa and Borno states, saying extremists
could expand their operations beyond the three states to other parts of
the country.
President Goodluck Jonathan had on May 14,
declared emergency rule in the three states to restore order following
the violence orchestrated by members of Boko Haram.
The travel warning came just as the US State Department placed $7m bounty on the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau.
It warned that the latest alert
superseded earlier one saying, “It replaces the travel warning for
Nigeria dated December 21, 2012.’’
The advice read, “The Department of
State warns US citizens of the risks of travel to Nigeria and recommends
that they avoid all travel to Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states because
of the proclamation on May 14, 2013, by the government of Nigeria.
“Based on safety and security risk
assessments, the Embassy maintains restrictions for travel by US
officials to all northern Nigerian states (in addition to those listed
above); officials must receive advance clearance by the US Mission for
any travel deemed as mission-essential. US citizens should be aware that
extremists could expand their operations beyond northern Nigeria to the
country’s middle and southern states.”
The alert listed other states as Abia,
Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna,
Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, and Zamfara citing
kidnappings, robberies, and other armed attacks for the travel alert.
