Voters went to the polls yesterday to elect a brand new figurehead for Greater Manchester Greater Manchester will today find out who is to become its first-ever elected mayor. Voters across the region went to the polls yesterday to elect a brand new figurehead – in charge of just under £1bn in public spending and with considerable influence over a range of issues. Last night each town hall in the region checked and verified all the votes cast, ahead of a count today at Manchester Central conference centre. That starts at midday and is likely to continue until late afternoon or early evening, when a final result will be declared.

SHERIFF IS A CONTRACTOR BROUGHT INTO PDP DURING OUR TRYING TIME 29th Feb 2017, February 27 2017 Emeka Ihedioha, a former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, has described Ali Modu Sheriff as a contractor invited to help the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during its low point. He said Sheriff’s contract had long expired and that he has nothing to contribute to the opposition party’s development. Ihedioha told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Monday that Sheriff by his conduct had failed to show an attitude worthy of uniting and strengthening the party. According to him, the conduct, actions, language and temperament displayed by Sheriff has succeeded in planting disunity amongst members. “His utterances after the Appeal Court judgment in Port Harcourt created division in the party rather than unit members, this showed that he is not interested in the progress of our party,” he said. “Sheriff has nothi...
