“I was emotionally attached to his outstanding virtues of honesty and craved to shake him,” Gunddare, told reporters in Birnin Kebbi.

A newspaper had reported that he was shot in the leg after ‘attacking’ the president and thereafter whisked away by operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) and tortured.

But Gunddare, who was flanked my Information Minister Lai Mohammed and Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State said: “I am alive and the DSS never tortured me; nobody ever tortured me, I was well cared for and given food.”

The Presidency had earlier dismissed the video of the ‘attack’ as “a work of mischief makers.”

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said in a statement that Gunddare was “indeed an enthusiastic youth, who was too excited to hold himself back, seeing his President in the flesh.”

He said: “President Muhammadu Buhari was in Kebbi State Thursday to declare open the Argungu Fishing and Cultural Festival.

“It was the first time the international tourism event would hold in eleven years, as security considerations had rendered it impracticable.

“As the President went round the arena to inspect rice pyramids on display, and take photographs with farmers, a young man was so very excited to see his President so close. He made an attempt to get to him.

“World over, such would not be allowed by security details. The young man was prevented, and he protested that he should be allowed to greet his President.

“Now, professional contortionists are making mischief of the event. They are passing the video clip off on social media as an attempt to attack the President.”

Uzodinma, underlining the strategic role of the judiciary in the overall development of democracy said, “Judiciary is an important arm of government, and if our democracy must grow with its attendant dividends, we must have an efficient judiciary. This is why every government must take seriously the leadership and membership of the judicial arm of government”.

While calling for synergy among the various arms of government, judiciary inclusive, Governor Uzodinma stated: “I am not unaware of the little bickerings here and there in the past.

We will work assiduously to justify this confidence reposed in me. We will build a strong and virile judiciary committed to institutionalizing judicial reforms that will ensure speedy dispensation of justice. I will therefore provide the needed leadership”.

Ighalo equals Lukaku’s Manchester United goal record

0

The ex-Nigeria international has been in sizzling form in front of goal and continues to raise the bar for dependability following his latest effort.

Odion Ighalo has now scored in all his three starts for Manchester United, having found the net in Thursday’s 5-0 victory over LASK in the Europa League.

The Nigerian was handed a starter’s role in the Red Devil’s Last 16 first leg fixture against the Austrians inside Linzer Stadium.
And he justified Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s decision by putting the English team ahead in the 28th minute.

Bruno Fernandes picked out Ighalo on the edge of the box, with the ex-Watford man juggling the ball to set himself up, before a fierce left-footed strike was unstoppable for goalkeeper Alexander Schlager.

That effort means the 30-year-old has found the net whenever he makes United’s starting XI. Romelu Lukaku was the last player to achieve that feat for the Manchester-based outfit.

In the 58th minute, Ighalo assisted Daniel James for his side’s second goal, while Juan Mata, Mason Greenwood and Andreas Pereira completed the rout.

Thanks to this win, Manchester United take a five-goal advantage into the second leg billed for Old Trafford on March 19.
