CPC disowns Ogun gov candidate

National Publicity Secretary, Congress for Progressive Change, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin

The Congress for Progressive Change in Ogun State has disowned its governorship candidate in the 2011 gubernatorial election, Wale Okunniyi, over the recent emergence of campaign posters in parts of the state, proclaiming him the party’s flagbearer in the 2015 poll.

This is coming on the heels of a statement credited Okunniyi, in w2hich he was said to have vowed that the CPC bloc within the All Progressives Congress would produce a candidate that would vie for the guberbatorial ticket of the newly formed party in the state with Governor Ibikunle Amosun for the 2015 poll.

The CPC, which along with the All Nigeria Peoples Party, recently merged with the Action Congress of Nigeria to form the APC, has however assured Amosun, the incumbent governor of the state, of its loyalty and support.

The CPC, in a statement jointly signed by its State Chairman, Adekunle Mudashiru; and Publicity Secretary, Sina Oduntan, stressed that the party in the state had yet to pick a governorship candidate before its merger with the ANPP and ACN to form the APC.

The party, therefore, urged the ACN and the ANPP as well as the public “to be wary of the antics” of Okunniyi and his supporters.

But Okunniyi, in his reaction, said he should not be misunderstood as having endorsed Governor Amosun as the APC gubernatorial candidate for the 2015 poll.

He stressed that the CPC bloc within the newly formed APC would in Ogun State produce the next governor of the state.

In a statement by his Media Consultant, Olubori Obafemi, on Sunday, said, “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state clearly that at no time or forum did the CPC governorship candidate, Olawale Okunniyi, have any discussion or agreement with either Senator Amosun or any of the leaders of the APC over the endorsement of the sitting governor, Ibikunle Amosun, for the 2015 governorship race in Ogun state.”

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger Eldar Murtazin tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
