A group, Youths for Better Nigeria (YBN), yesterday, called on an ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, to vie for the presidency in 2019 with a former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, as his running mate. Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the Dean of the group, Ikemba Oscar Ugo, said the presidency being the most important office in the land should be occupied by the best brains with uprightness. He said the group had identified these qualities in Atiku who, according to them, had over the years remained the bastion of democracy by singularly truncating the third term scheme of an erstwhile President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. “Never before in the annals of this nation,” he continued, “it is only Atiku Abubakar who as a vice president; was an ambassador of conflict resolution that was capable of bringing us back together to live in peace and harmony.” Ugo, a renowned publisher and Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the Diaspora, said the process of choos...

President Donald Trump is reportedly reviving the racist “birther” conspiracy theory, which claims that President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States. President Donald Trump is reportedly reviving the racist “ birther ” conspiracy theory, which claims that President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States.  Trump has been questioning Obama’s birth certificate in “closed-door conversations,” according to The New York Times, which cited an unnamed senator as being part of one such discussion.   The newspaper reported: “Mr. Trump’s journeys into the realm of manufactured facts have been frequent enough that his own staff has sought to nudge friendly lawmakers to ask questions of Mr. Trump in meetings that will steer him toward safer terrain.” Trump was for years one of the leading voices in the birther movement, a racist conspiracy theory that questioned the legitimacy of the nation’s first black president . He dropped the issue t...
