"I KNELT BEFORE TINUBU AND AKANDE TO GIVE BUHARI PRESIDENTIAL TICKET IN 2011

By

 Former National Security Adviser, NSA, to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) has disclosed how he knelt before ex-governors of Osun and Lagos State, Bisi Akande and Bola Tinubu, to accept President Muhammadu Buhari as the joint Presidential candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, and the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, in 2011.

Dasuki's campaign for Buhari in 2011 was contained in the new book, 'An Encounter with the Spymaster', written by a Public Relations professional, Yushau Shuaib.

In the book, Shuaib said: "The major shocker for me in his (Dasuki) narratives was his campaign for Buhari to emerge the joint candidate for the ACN and CPC in 2011."

"Dasuki stated that he knelt down begging 'Baba Bisi Akande' who was the then chairman of the ACN that, 'Buhari is a man to be trusted'.

"In their believe that Yorubas and South Westerners are never religious fanatics especially regarding politics, Dasuki and his group suggested that Tinubu should be a running mate to Buhari.

"When other elements opposed that preposition, Tinubu's team, therefore recommended a Buhari-Osinbajo ticket."
Shuaib said the Buhari-Osinbajo ticket then failed to stick as Tunde Bakare was eventually brought forward.

NORTH KOREAN IMAGES SUGGEST MISSILE/S MAY BE CAPABLE OF HITTING ANYWHERE IN AMERICA - U.S EXPERTS SAY

North Korea said the new missile reached an altitude of about 4,475 km (2,780 miles) - more than 10 times the height of the International Space Station - and flew 950 km (590 miles) during its 53-minute flight. Images released by North Korea on Thursday appeared to show it has succeeded in developing a missile capable of delivering a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States and it could be only two or three tests away from being declared combat ready, U.S.-based experts said on Thursday. North Korea released dozens of photos and a video after Wednesday's launch of the new Hwasong-15 missile, and leader Kim Jong Un declared the country had "finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force". U.S.-based experts, some of whom have been sceptical about past North Korean claims to have put all of the United States in range, said data from the latest test and the photos appeared to confirm North Korea has a missile of suffici...

NORTH KOREA IS NOT SOVIET UNION AND DONALD TRUMP IS JFK

There are critical differences between the Cuban Missile Crisis and the current situation on the Korean Peninsula. Cuban crisis was handled largely in private save for the naval "embargo", but the North Korean crisis has been handled mostly in public, writes Klass [AP] It has become popular to describe the current situation on the Korean Peninsula as a "slow motion Cuban Missile Crisis". The temptation to do so is understandable since there are significant similarities between the two. For instance, both occurred because the militarily weaker power made a strategic move to even the balance. In 1962, the Soviets tried to sneak missiles into range of the United States to offset their lack of reliable intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM). Today, North Korea is undertaking an accelerated ICBM and associated nuclear warhead programme to deter the overwhelming conventional and nuclear superiority of the US. Yet, there are critical differences that make the North Kor...
