The former Rivers State Governor, Dr. Peter Odili, on Friday commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, for stopping the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, from turning the state into his private estate. Odili, according to a statement issued on Saturday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nelson Chukwudi, spoke at an event he organized for Fubara and his family in Port Harcourt. Fubara and Wike, his predecessor, fell out last year over an alleged bid for control of the state’s resources. The bad blood between the former allies has split Rivers into two camps with personalities in the state, including members of the state House of Assembly and leaders of thought queuing behind the two men. READ ALSO: Wike claims he removed Secondus as PDP National Chairman for Fubara Odili in his remark at the event commended Fubara for the sterling leadership qualities he has demonstrated since he assumed office in May last year. He said: “It is now over 12 months, since the 25th October 2023, when a fierce existential fight, though unnecessary, was waged against Governor Fubara over the soul of Rivers State. “Governor Fubara confronted the challenge, prevented the quest by one man to capture the state as a private estate, emancipated Rivers people, steadied governance, and made civil servants and Rivers people happier as it used to be.” Wike in 2022 credited Odili for his success in politics. The duo had since fallen out over political differences. Opinions Balanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.

For the second time in a week, the Gunners put five goals past their opponents and this time they did it all in the first half. It made for a scintillating opening 45 minutes, which also saw West Ham score twice. Not since 2012 has a Premier League match had seven first-half goals, with only three previous examples in total. The second half was the opposite of the first. Not a single goal was scored and instead this game meandered to a quiet finish. Not that Mikel Arteta will have minded, with Arsenal hosting Manchester United on Wednesday night. This trip to West Ham was all about Arsenal securing the win that closed the gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool to six points. The Gunners can now sit back and watch Sunday’s showdown between the Reds and Manchester City in comfort. The Arsenal fans took great glee in chanting it to their West Ham counterparts at half-time: “Who put the ball in the West Ham net? Half the f*****g team did.” Colourful language, but the point stands. During their first-half blitz, Arsenal had five different scorers. It was the same in Lisbon on Tuesday night, when Arteta’s side dispatched Sporting CP 5-1. After months of looking turgid and flat in attack, the Gunners have found their spark again and everyone is contributing. The common factor is Martin Odegaard, and since his return to the team Arsenal have scored 14 goals in four games. The Norwegian was majestic against West Ham, running the show and helping to create Leandro Trossard’s goal with a great dinked pass to Bukayo Saka. Arsenal’s corner routines almost feel like NFL plays at times and, if that’s the case, then Gabriel is the quarterback. Before Saka swung the ball in for the defender to head home Arsenal’s opener, Gabriel called him over for a quick huddle. Saka was, presumably, left in no doubt where Gabriel wanted it and, after a run to the near post, he flicked the ball past Lukasz Fabianski. It was another well-worked routine by Arsenal, which had set-piece coach Nicolas Jover jumping for joy on the touchline. Jurrien Timber blocked Lucas Paqueta at the near post and, after Gabriel had lost Michail Antonio, the space was there for him take full advantage. The Brazilian reacted by replicating the celebration he performed after scoring against Sporting on Tuesday. There are some suggestions that Gabriel is pretending to be Batman, in response to Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres imitating Bane. Either way, the Arsenal defender is heroic from corners. After a poor run of form earlier this season, this week must feel like a turning point for Trossard. The Belgian had previously not scored for Arsenal since September, but found the net against West Ham to add to his goal in Lisbon on Tuesday. With Saka on the other wing, Trossard is unlikely to get many plaudits. However, it should not be forgotten what a valuable asset he can be. During the back end of last season, the former Brighton star was arguably Arsenal’s best player in the final 10 games of the title race. His goal here, like the one at Sporting, was a tap-in, but it was followed by a great assist to set up Kai Havertz. Trossard played a lovely ball over the top for the German, who finished well to score Arsenal’s fourth of a frantic first half. With talk of a new contract for Trossard circulating, this was a timely reminder of what he can bring.

Bethel was also clear Wednesday about his agenda if elected: He will oppose the ongoing $50 million Benn Hi redevelopment project; stress private business initiatives over those of nonprofit groups, and seek to balance what he sees as “left-leaning” decisions by the current Select Board. He also would encourage Town Manager Stuart Hurd and Assistant Town Manager Dan Monks to retire from their jobs to clear the way for significant change in the town office staff – one he said should focus on being more business friendly. With at least openings on the seven-person board next March, several residents are rumored to be considering a run. The terms of Chair Jeannie Jenkins, Jeanne Conner and Tom Haley expire in 2025, and Jenkins and Conner have indicated they won’t seek another term after six years on the board. Earlier this week, residents Martha Mackey and Jack Rossiter-Munley announced they are running as a team for the board. The early activity is well in advance of the January 27 deadline for candidates to file nomination papers with at least 30 voter signatures for the March 4 election. “We have people on the board that don’t want to face reality,” Bethel said. “Reality is that people in Bennington are hurting financially. The businesses downtown are hurting financially.” The town doesn’t “have anybody in the town hall that concentrates on businesses,” he said. “If I get on the board, I want a new town staff. I would like Stu Hurd, who I admire, to retire, and also Dan Monks. We need to set people up that are going to concentrate on businesses, not nonprofits.” The Putnam Block project, Bethel said, “has taken way too long. The Benn Hi project [estimate] went from $20 million to now $50 million. I don’t think that will ever get off the ground. I think it is a stupid project. We need to concentrate on the people who live here.” He added, “I want change on the board. And I am not against these two young people running for the board [Mackey and Rossiter-Munley], but I think they are going to be too far to the left, and I am center-right politically. “I want more things done,” he said. “I’m tired of waiting around. And we don’t have anyone recruiting business.” He continued, “We’ve got to raise the grand list the right way,” referring to a nonprofit organization recently purchasing the former People’s Bank branch on Main Street, which Bethel said would likely take that property off the tax rolls. Bethel contended that “Bennington is always announcing that it’s poor,” which he said leads to initiatives like the Bennington Community Market. The market received grant funding in part to address a perceived “food desert” situation in the downtown area that alleged limited grocery or other food options – a contention Bethel rejects as untrue. “Things like that bother me and I want change,” he said, adding that “the way to do that is to elect new people on the Select Board." Bethel has run unsuccessfully for the Select Board at least three times in past elections, in 2018, 2019 and 2021. He also has been a leader in several town or school district referendum initiatives since at least the early 2000s, including three attempts – in 2018, 2019 and 2020 - to establish a mayoral form of government in Bennington, all of which were rejected in town voters. Bethel said he still sees a mayoral format a better option for the town, especially in terms of spurring economic development.

Ruthless Arsenal share the goals around as dominant Gabriel calls set-piece shotsGOP strategist voiced his support for amid growing concerns from MAGA devotees that his power is growing unchecked. While just days ago Musk was the Republican darling, recent comments from him and his DOGE co-head about the suitability of for top jobs have left many seething. Considering Musk is the richest man in the world, he has the wealth to potentially back up his own philosophies over those of President-elect Donald Trump. Some Republicans have insisted it’s time to get the Tesla honcho out of politics—but Jennings spoke passionately in his defence on Friday’s . WATCH: CNN’s on Elon: “I think Donald Trump having a relationship with one of the greatest innovators of our time across multiple sectors and having that person be as invested in the United States and the success of the United States as he can be is unequivocally... — TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) Kicking off the segment, host Phillip played a clip from far-right activist , who on X after she seemingly lost her blue tick thanks to her rants against him and Ramaswamy. In a clip of a phone call from Loomer, she said: “At what point do we say, ‘Thank you so much for supporting President Trump and donating to his ground gains, but these conflicts are inappropriate and they’re going to cause potential conflicts for President Trump and his nominees in the administration.' “We need to have and honest conversation about this... We need to protect President Trump from these conflicts.” “She’s apparently suddenly woken up to the fact that Elon Musk runs a company that has substantial interests overseas. Does she have a point that it’s something that should be looked at?” Phillips asked. “I think Donald Trump having a relationship with one of the greatest innovators of our time across multiple sectors and having that person be as invested in the United States and the success of the United States as he can be is unequivocally a good thing,” Jennings said in response. “And I’m sorry if people had their feelings hurt by that. This country needs people like Elon Musk to create, to innovate, to participate in our civic affairs. This is a good thing.” Democrat Mondaire Jones asked, “To run government policy by Tweet, though?” “He’s not running anything,” said Jennings. Coleman Hughes echoed, “He’s not running anything. The President is allowed to have advisors and aides, and some of his best accomplishments from his first term were by non-cabinet aides. “You know, Jared Kushner ran point on getting peace with Israel and five countries, so Elon Musk has been very successful in many domains.”
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield embarrassed the woeful Giants with his arm and legs, and if that wasn't enough, he rubbed it in by mimicking New York fan favorite Tommy DeVito's celebratory dance after scoring a touchdown. Mayfield catapulted into the end zone on a spectacular 10-yard scramble for one of Tampa Bay's four rushing TDs, and the Buccaneers beat the Giants and new starting quarterback DeVito 30-7 on Sunday, snapping a four-game losing streak and extending New York's skid to six. With both teams struggling and coming off byes, most of the focus leading up to the game was on the Giants' decisions this week to bench and then release quarterback Daniel Jones. The brash DeVito was given the starting job and asked to spark coach Brian Daboll's team, as he did last season. Instead, Mayfield provided the energy with his play and his trolling of DeVito. “Tribute to Tommy,” said a straight-faced Mayfield, who was 24 of 30 for 294 yards. “He’s a good dude, that’s why. Most of the times, I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s spontaneous.” Mayfield was asked several times about the gesture and admitted he wanted to give Giants fans something they liked, adding he met DeVito at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in February. “He had his chain blinged out, swag walking through the casino. It was awesome,” Mayfield said. “It was like a movie scene, honestly.” DeVito did nothing to help the NFL's lowest-scoring offense. He threw for 189 yards, mostly in the second half with New York well on its way to its sixth straight loss at home, where it is winless. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers dominated in every phase in a near-perfect performance that featured TD runs of 1 yard by Sean Tucker, 6 yards by Bucky Irving and 1 yard by Rachaad White. After recent losses to the Ravens, 49ers and Chiefs, Tampa Bay (5-6) moved within one game of idle Atlanta in the NFC South. “We’re hoping it builds confidence,” Mayfield said. “We have a belief that we are still sitting and controlling our own destiny.” Tampa Bay scored on five of its on first six possessions to open a 30-0 lead, and none was more exciting than Mayfield's TD run with 12 seconds left in the first half. On a second-and-goal from the 10, he avoided pressure and went for the end zone. He was hit by Cor'Dale Flott low and Dru Phillips high around the 2-yard line, and he was airborne when he crossed the goal line. The ball came loose when he hit the turf but he jumped up and flexed, DeVito-style, as the Bucs took a 23-0 lead. DeVito said players talked about the celebration in the locker room but he did not see it. Daboll was asked about the gesture and said Mayfield played well. He said the Giants' poor performance had nothing to do with Jones being released. “No excuse on that,” said Daboll, whose job is on the line despite making the playoffs in 2022. “We just didn’t do a good enough job.” “We played soft, and they beat the (expletive) out of us,” defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence added. Mayfield's favorite target Mike Evans returned to the lineup after missing three games with a hamstring injury and had five catches for 68 yards. Irving had 87 yards rushing and six catches for 64 yards. The Bucs held New York to three first downs and 45 yards in the first half, and they finished with 450 yards to the Giants' 245. DeVito had a 17-yard run in the fourth quarter to set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Devin Singletary. The brash New Jersey native was sacked four times, including once in the fourth quarter, which forced him to go to the bench for one play. Buccaneers: LT Tristan Wirfs (knee) did not play and Justin Skule replaced him. ... Tampa Bay lost OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to an ankle injury in the second quarter and safety Jordan Whitehead to a pectoral injury in the fourth quarter.

Emma Logan has launched a new bespoke marketer consultancy, The Emma Logan Project , aimed at serving the needs and unlocking the potential of CMOs and their team. The former AANA director of member engagement said over the past 12 months, she has seen a very clear need among senior marketers for assistance on both team and individual levels. “Marketing is in a massive transition,” Logan said. “From technology and AI to data, climate change, social demographics, and politics. CMOs hold one of the most multifaceted roles in any business today and have the chance to make a meaningful impact and shape a more sustainable and equitable society.” “Marketers are more stretched than ever. In the past year, countless marketers have turned to me for support—whether it’s a team strategy day or collaborating on key projects. It’s clear we’re addressing a critical gap in the market. While marketers tirelessly promote their brands, they often overlook a vital element: building the personal brands of their leaders. Strong executive brands are essential for fostering trust, attracting opportunities, and positioning businesses.” Logan added: “The Emma Logan Project is about helping marketers become the kind of leaders who attract and retain top talent. It’s about redefining what it means to be a magnetic marketing leader. Whether it’s a marketer looking to build their executive marketing brand or a CMO aiming to elevate their team’s impact — and, in turn, drive exceptional business outcomes — my goal is to help them succeed.” The Emma Logan Project offers a suite of bespoke services tailored to CMOs and their teams, focusing on leadership development and team empowerment. Logan has already begun collaborating with marketing teams, including foundation client T garage, an insights and research consultancy. Jed Simpfendorfer , director of strategy, met Logan when he was the CMO of Carman’s. “Partnering with The Emma Logan Project has been a total game-changer for us,” Simpfendorfer said. “Emma gets us—our goals, our challenges—and she brings a fresh perspective that’s taken our approach to the next level. Her industry know-how and network is so impressive. She’s opened doors we didn’t even know existed! And in such a short time, the results speak for themselves. Emma’s not just a partner; she’s become an essential part of our team.” On the consultancy’s name, Logan shared: “I credit the name to my father, who for the past year has been asking: ‘How’s The Emma Logan Project?’. He knew that I was on a journey of restoring my passion for what I do and getting my sparkle back. “A journey that he aptly referred to as ‘The Emma Logan Project’. When it came time to decide on a name for my new business, I went back and forth on a few different options that didn’t feel quite right. I then realised it had been right in front of me the whole time – the perfect representation of everything my business is.”Cerity Partners LLC grew its holdings in shares of AppFolio, Inc.
