PDP Dismisses Ngige's Deputy: Recommends Uba, Abana, Azodo, Nzeribe for Dismissal The ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, announced the dismissal of Anambra State Deputy Governor, Dr. Okey Udeh, from the party for his role in the current crisis in the state which led to the purported resignation and abduction of Gov. Chris Ngige. National Chairman of the party, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who read the decision of the National Working Committee (NWC) to the press, said the committee dismissed the deputy governor on account of his membership of the National Executive Committee of the party.

Siamese Twins Delivered in Lagos   BiafraNigeria tackles fuel subsidies   AUDIO   VIDEO Barely three weeks after the famous Iranian siamese twins died in a Singapo-rean hospital, Nigeria recorded the birth of an all-female siamese twins Wednes-day evening at the Lagos Island Maternity Hospital. The twins, co-joined at the lower abdominal region, were delivered at about 6.37 p.m. by Mrs Kikelomo Sobowale-Davies, a professional secretary, through caesarian section which lasted about 35 minutes. (This Day)   Subsidising cheap fuel costs the government in Abuja more than $2bn (£1.25bn) a year - and getting rid of that subsidy has become the first priority of Obasanjo's second term in power. Last month, immediately after returning to office, he lived up to his word by hiking the price of fuel from 26 naira, to 40. Although the president had made no secret of his intention...most BiafraNigerians reacted with shock.
