The All Progressives Congress is to present the report of its panel on true federalism to members of the public on Wednesday. It was gathered in Abuja, on Monday, that the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee of the party resolved to make the document public as part of efforts to enhance transparency.

 The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, confirmed this development in a telephone interview with our correspondent. He confirmed that the party was poised to present the document to the public as part of the process that would lead to its validation by other organs of the APC before the party’s final position would be announced.

 In response to a question on whether it was true that the party was preparing to present the document to the public on Wednesday, Abdullahi said, “Yes.”

 He explained that, “After the public presentation, the National Working Committee will then make its input after which it will be presented to the caucus and the National Executive Committee.

 “After the party’s NEC approves the final draft, parts of the report, which will require legislation or an amendment to the Nigerian constitution, will be forwarded to the National Assembly while those requiring immediate executive action will be forwarded to the President.”

 The Governor Nasir el-Rufai-led panel had presented its final report to the APC NWC on Thursday last week. The committee made 10 far-reaching recommendations for the devolution of powers to states in order to restructure Nigeria. The panel, among other things, proposed that greater autonomy should be granted to states by moving certain items from the exclusive legislative list to the concurrent list.

 The chairman of the committee, el-Rufai, who is also the governor of Kaduna State, presented the report to the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led APC National Working Committee. It recommended for the movement of certain items from the exclusive legislative list to the concurrent list in order to grant greater autonomy to the states to handle their affairs.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley. But when Disasi spoke to Sky Sports after the game, an on-screen graphic introduced him as Madueke instead. Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French. Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.  Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'. A fourth commented: 'Sky sports calling Disasi Madueke. They’ve done it again.' Disasi scored Chelsea's third goal in the 6-1 rout, converting Raheem Sterling's cross at the far post after th
