Scores of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in Okitipupa
local government area of Ondo state, have been blown off by the wind of
change.
This follows reports on This Day that the PDP members dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC), alleging that the current administration had made life unbearable for them.
The defectors led by a chieftain, Dare Agbe, made their position known at a meeting with Chief Olusola Oke, a governorship aspirant of the APC.
According to the defector, they moved to the APC because of good things that Chief Oke had done in Okitipupa local government, in the South Senatorial District.
On hand to receive the defectors, Chief Wole Akeremale, the chairman of the APC in Okitipupa local government, said: “The doors of APC are wide open to receive new members and the party would not discriminate against any member.
“We however advise new members to respect constituted authorities.”
Addressing the delegates, Oke said the APC had not and would not zone the gubernatorial ticket of the party to any senatorial district in the state.
According to him, the party’s candidate for the election would emerge through the party primaries, adding that the APC would not also impose any of the candidates on the electorate.
Oke, who said the high number of quality aspirants jostling for the APC ticket was as a result of the people’s quest to replace the PDP government in the state and demonstration of internal democracy in APC, said “the choice of the right candidate who can win election for the party lies with the delegates”.
He said: “Already, my ongoing tour of councils has been witnessing defections of people from other political parties, especially PDP, to APC. If I get the APC ticket today, you can imagine what will happen. The PDP will collapse finally into this party.
“I am loved and accepted by the people across length and breadth of the state and across party lines. My emergence will deliver the state to APC.
“And as governor, I will restore the prosperity of the state which the present administration had traded away with its incompetence and lack of ideas and people-oriented policies and projects. I will be committed to the economic wellbeing of the state and its people.”

6 ways to save money on
fuel in Nigeria
On June 9, 20168:43 pmIn NewsComments
By Ndem Nkem
No doubt, fuel prices in Nigeria have steadily been climbing since the
introduction of automobile vehicles, however, with the current increment
to a national average of NGN 145 per litre, the fuel scarcity is on
another level and there is a need to find ways to save money.
Despite the ongoing kobo-pinching trend, you cannot stop driving: you
depend on your vehicle to get to work, pick up the kids, and maybe
attend those mandatory anger management classes. This means you have to
change a few bad habits and increase your personal fuel efficiency in
order to save money at the pump.
Here are six simple ways to save money on fuel, making things easier on
your pocketbook as well as the environment.
fuel-pump
Drive sensibly
With the situation of the country at the moment, the fuel economy is
directly proportionate to how hard you accelerate and how steady you are
on the gas pedal. Try not to drive too aggressively or too carelessly,
and also, observe speed limits. Driving aggressively can lower gas
mileage on the highway and aside from that, it can attract law
enforcement agents and you will have to waste fuel while trying to
explain your way out of their grip. Again, while each vehicle reaches
its optimal fuel economy at a different speed, it is important that you
try not to drive above 50 mph as with almost every vehicle, gas mileage
usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 50 mph.
Only carry light load
Another easy way to improve your car’s fuel efficiency and save yourself
some extra bucks is to make the load on the vehicle as light as
possible. Basically, the less you pack, the lighter your load, the more
you save! Loaded roof racks and other exterior means of storage
negatively impact your gas gauge by up to five percent. So, if you have
junk in the trunk it may be time to clean out the car and take out
whatever you don’t need. Believe it or not, your car needs more fuel to
move around more weight.
Use the AC Efficiently
The weather condition in the country is generally hot and with the added
noise/air pollution in some busy areas, as well as the stop-and-go
traffic, it is just convenient to run your car’s air conditioner all
through the day. The Society of Automotive Engineers , however,
conducted several tests which determined that you lose up to 10% more
fuel driving with the AC on and your windows up, therefore, it may be
best to think of alternative ways to stay cool this season as cranking
up the AC will put a dent in your fuel budget. If you cannot roll down
the windows and let in natural breeze complement your driving, go ahead
and use the AC, however, ensure you turn it off when it’s not hot. You
can also drive during the cooler parts of the day to cut out the need
for the AC.
Kia-Sorento-car-made-in-NigDo not ‘warm up the car’
Nigerians love to warm up their car! Agreed, at one time, engines needed
to sit idle for five to ten minutes before they could be trusted to
offer reliable transportation but gone are those days. The way car
engines are fashioned today, you can now just turn the key, put it in
drive, and drive out, despite the weather condition. Warming your car up
for as little as two minutes consumes as much fuel as you would use
driving a mile. Not warming up your car ensures that you save the money
on the fuel that would be wasted doing so.
Look out for filling stations with accurate meters
This is a big issue with filling stations in Nigeria. While the
government has given sanctions and implemented strategies to combat this
issue, there is a lot of station guilty of the charge. Most of the
pumps and meters are doctored to ensure that what you are buying for the
price of 1 Litre is way less than 1 Litre, even though the Metre reads 1
Litre. Put your ear to the ground and find out the different areas
around your location with accurate pumps and go there, that way you do
not have pay any more than you should.
Avoid excess idling
There is no room for undue gallivanting with your car anymore or letting
it sit idle for periods of time .You need to make a plan on where you
are going to, research the shortest cut to take and get your act
together before you set out (especially if you are going out with a
group). If you are going shopping, trying running through your checklist
before you turn on the engine and if you must take a call or sit in
your car for more than a few minutes, it is more fuel efficient to park
in one corner, turn your car off, and then restart it when you are good
to go. Allowing your car to sit idle for some time ensure you waste fuel
money.
