The Member Representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam (PKK) Federal Constituency Plateau State and Chairman of the House Committee on Navy, Rt Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi celebrates Celilia Yilkora on her appointment as commissioner for Tourism.

This was made known in a statement signed by the chairman on Thursday 6th October 2022.

The statement reads:

“The reward for dedication and loyalty is manifest in the appointment of Hon. Cecilia Yilkorah as a member of the Plateau State Executive Council to be the Commissioner for Tourism, Culture, and Hospitality.

Hon. Cecilia has been a steadfast party woman who has paid her dues in the growth of the All Progressives Congress (APC), not only in her Kanke Local Government Area but the state in general through women mobilization and charitable activities.

It is on this premise that I join thousands of your well-wishers to congratulate you on this milestone and wish you success in this tasking responsibility of nation-building.

I never doubted your ability to deliver on this mandate, having worked closely with you as one of my most trusted aides in the past three years.

Like the aphorism,” a golden fish has no hiding place”, your sterling qualities are sparklingly astonishing. I pray this appointment serves as a springboard to greater responsibilities ahead.

Once more, congratulations!”

Data centers are deeply unpopular. But what if we called them something else?

Axios reports that OpenAI is preparing a “PR blitz” for after the midterm elections on Tuesday, as Democrats seem likely to win back the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate, too.

The company’s chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told Axios that the midterms will be “a bit of a movie trailer for what you’re going to see in 2028,” when he expects AI to be “the issue” in the presidential election.

So OpenAI is to influence the AI debate moving forward, with Lehane discussing several proposals, including the development of AI “speed limits”; finding ways to help people see AI as empowering them in their daily lives; pushing the U.S. to take a role in developing global standards — and yes, rebranding data centers as “AI compute campuses.”

Lehane also described the conversation around data centers (a debate that has pushed Amazon and Microsoft to say they will no longer use NDAs in their negotiations with local governments) as “good and healthy.”

“Communities should hold companies responsible and accountable so they really and truly get a transformative benefit from these projects,” he said.

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, vice presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso has warned the African Democratic Congress, ADC, against giving its presidential ticket to a Northern candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Kwankwaso gave the warning during an interactive session with journalists at his residence in Kano on Sunday.

Throwing his weight behind the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the former Kano State governor said it is the turn of the South to produce the next President in 2027, adding that the North should wait till 2031.

He added that it is unfair for the ADC to give its ticket to a Northern candidate when the South has not completed its eight years.

"ADC will lose if it gives ticket to North. It's the turn of the South in 2027. ADC should not give its presidential ticket to the North. North should wait till 2031," Kwankwaso said.

He advised the ADC to zone its presidential ticket to the South if it wants to win the 2027 election, saying Nigerians want fairness and equity.

DAILY POST reports that Kwankwaso, who is from the North, is the running mate of Peter Obi, who is from the South under the platform of the NDC.
