Patience Jonathan hands over ALFPM presidency…

-



Dame Patience Jonathan, Friday, handed over her role as the President of the African First Ladies Peace Mission (AFLPM), her successor, Jadiya Hamdi Mohamed, first lady of Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic in Abuja.
The hand over ceremony took place at the Office of the First Lady Federal Republic of Nigeria, in Abuja, during the 8th AFLPM Summit of the mission which comprises of wives of Presidents of all African countries.

The tenure of Patience Jonathan which started when she was elected as the mission’s President at its seventh summit held in Abuja in July 2012 is supposed to have expired in July 2015 when a new president would have been elected.

However, Mrs. Jonathan summoned an emergency summit of the mission on Friday, where she handed over to her successor.

It will be recalled that the action of the president’s wife was earlier calculated by critics as a ploy to prevent the wife of the President-elect, Hajiha Aisha Buhari, from replacing her as President of the African First Ladies Peace Mission (AFLPM).

Meanwhile, Patience has cleared the air saying it is mischievous for anyone to scheme such allegations to cause disaffection between her and Buahri’s wife.

Your pictures have never looked better.  But even though Apple has upped the ante in terms of hardware, it's highly unlikely you'll upload a picture to social media without slightly altering at least some part of it.  Luckily, there are some great alternatives to settling for those basic Instagram filters or sticking to the built-in camera tools. Because every single one of us needs all the "likes" we can get. And because #nofilter is no longer a thing.  Here are six of the best iPhone photo-editing apps to d

Despite Trump’s claims, Google isn’t building the coronavirus screening site — and it’s not ready

  In a press conference at the White House, President Trump today announced that 1,700 Google engineers were working on a coronavirus screening site. That site was supposedly the first step in a new screening process that would lead people from figuring out if their symptoms warranted more testing to the location of new “drive through” testing stations. But Trump was wrong. This screening site isn’t being developed by Google . Instead, it’s being built by Verily , Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either. While both share the same parent company in Alphabet, these are two very different companies. In addition, as Verily noted in a statement it provided almost three hours after Trump made the announcement, this site isn’t quite ready yet. “Verily is developing a tool to help triage individuals for COVID-19 testing. We are in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more
