Some days back I had the bizarre experience of reading a statement made by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman, Olisa Metuh, on the just concluded nationwide membership registration exercise by the All Progressives Congress (APC). Bizarre, because, not only did Mr. Metuh accuse the APC of a plot to disrupt the 2015 general elections using its membership registration as the platform, the premise of his allegation lay on the notion that the APC would collude with INEC in order to manipulate the electoral process.

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure admits he’s not relishing the prospect of facing his former club Barcelona in the Champions League next week.
Toure’s side host Barca in the first leg of their last 16 tie on Tuesday, before travelling to the Nou Camp on March 12.
But the 30-year-old, who spent three years with the Catalan giants before joining City in 2010, says he’s not looking forward to the imminent encounter.
‘It’s difficult because I don’t really want to play Barcelona,’ Toure told the Uefa website.
Yaya Toure joined City in 2010 (Picture: Getty) ‘It’s a club I have a lot of respect for, a club which taught me a lot and where I have many friends who helped me.
‘I will play against these guys at the Camp Nou. It’s the stadium where I always wanted to play and now I’ll be coming back wearing a different shirt.
‘I didn’t want to play in front of the fans who gave me so much love and respected me, but that’s football.’

Robin van Persie could be set for a dramatic return to Arsenal at the end of the season after his agent reportedly met with Arsene Wenger to discuss a move.
Van Persie, who forced a move to Manchester United last year, enjoyed a superb opening season at Old Trafford – firing the club to the Premier League title.
But the Dutchman has reportedly become frustrated with life under new manager David Moyes, and is now angling for a switch back to Arsenal.
According to Sky Italia, Wenger met Van Persie’s representative in London late last month where it was made clear that Van Persie wants to leave United – and go back to the Gunners.
