Former Oyo State governor and Labour Party flag bearer in the 2015 governorship election, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, yesterday rolled out his 13-point agenda aimed at alleviating the sufferings of the people of the state.
After weeks of bitter political wrangling, a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC], Nuhu Ribadu, and Governor Bala Ngilari of Adamawa State have buried their differences and agreed to work together in the interest of their troubled state.
The re-deployment of the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Osun State, Rufus Oluwatoyin Akeju to Oyo State has been rejected by a coalition of political parties.
The membership of the political parties protested Akeju’s re-deployment to Oyo at the state headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Parliament Road, Ibadan on Monday.

personality that exudes freshness and originality.
In this interview with YNaija.com, she opens up on growing up, music, love and sex life, and more.
Enjoy.
When it was first announced that American burger giant Five Guys was
opening in Manchester, I had lots of devotees “OMG-ing” at me, telling
me how it serves up “the best burger EVER” and lots of other OTT
superlatives.
But when I headed on the opening day at the Trafford
Centre, back in April, I admit I was a little underwhelmed by it all,
felt it was a bit expensive for what is essentially a fast food joint,
and I certainly didn’t feel the need for an OMG.
With shopping
trips calling me back to the mall over the festive period, though, I
decided it was the perfect time to return and cast a critical eye over
the diner at the front of The Orient food court.
As soon as we
arrived, at the open plan entrance with red and white checked branding,
we received the friendliest of welcomes from a front of house gentlemen.
When Christmas dinner is over and you still have half a turkey left to eat you might be wondering what to do with the meat.
Well we have some ideas for you...
Turkey and stuffing sandwich

The best part of Christmas for many. Nothing quite beats
enjoying a cold turkey and stuffing sandwich in front of a TV on boxing
day.
Turkey curry
The classic leftover turkey meal. Simply make up a curry using your favourite sauce and veg.
However the tip is to make sure you add the turkey right at the end so it does not go all stringy.
Coronation turkey
A twist on a classic British chicken dish.
Mix curry spices into mayonnaise, add chopped fresh coriander and lime juice then mix chopped meat into mayonnaise.
Eat on pitta or naan bread with shredded lettuce.
Turkey pie

Start by making a simple white sauce, which is 100g butter,
100g flour and 500ml of milk mixed together until creamy. Shred up the
turkey, add that in, as well as a load of crispy bacon bits.
You
can also add some shredded leeks, then season it all well, then simply
put some puff pastry on top, pop it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Turkey stir fry
Stir-fry sliced green pepper, carrot, onion, and mange tout in a woke for a few minutes until cooked.
Add
strips of turkey and continue cooking until reheated. Add a sauce of
your choice, including sweet and sour, hoisin or sweet chili, heat
through and serve.

Break up the turkey carcass and place in a large pan filled with water and season with salt, pepper, and a bay leaf.
Heat to boiling over high heat; reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 90 minutes.
Skim off residue from the top and remove the bones and bay leaf, but leave in any meat.
Continue to cook for 30 minutes and stir in some leftover turkey, chopped onion and carrot.
Simmer for 25 minutes and serve.
Turkey fajitas

The fajita is a firm family favourite on dinner tables across the country.
Simply
replace the usual chicken or beef filling with turkey. You can use it
cold or reheat it by frying it with with some Cajun spice, chopped
onion, green pepper, chilli and garlic.
Serve with flour tortillas, tomato salsa, shredded lettuce, sour cream and guacamole.
Creamy turkey pasta
Melt 100g of butter in a saucepan and stir in 60g of flour. Mix in 700m of chicken or turkey stock and 500ml of milk.
Cook and stir until it begins to boil. Stir in 175g of Parmesan cheese (cheddar will do) and remove from hear.
Mix in leftover turkey strips and cooked pasta or spaghetti and serve.
Turkey salad with dried tomatoes
Simply tear off some of the leftover turkey and cut into strips.
Then
add some salad leaves, sundried tomatoes and spring onion. For the
dressing mix a good glub of olive oil with the juice of a lemon, a dash
of rice vinegar, teaspoon of wholegrain mustard and honey and season to
taste.
