Ogun PDP, APC, LP bicker over 2015 polls

Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun

A chief of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Mr. Buruji Kashamu, has said the newly-registered All Progressives Congress and the emerging Labour Party in Ogun will not pose any threat to the electoral fortunes of the party in the state come 2015 elections.

Kashamu said this on Sunday evening at a rally in Ado-Odo/Ota during which 500 members of the new APC and LP defected to the PDP.

He alleged that while the people of Ogun State had continued to show disaffection with the style of the Action Congress of Nigeria-led government of Senator Ibikunle Amosun, the emerging LP had been burdened by the image of its promoters, whom he said become politically irrelevant.

The ACN is one of the political parties that merged to form the APC.

He said, “In 2011, the fight within the PDP and the fact that the people wanted a change, combined to deny the PDP of victory. Now, our people have tasted the change and it is bitter.

“The truth is that our people are wiser now and will not allow themselves to be led by the nose any more. They know that just like it is in cardio-vascular health, no one can survive two strokes. Those who went to PPN have suffered the first stroke, the fledgling Labour Party may be their second stroke and that will lead to permanent disability or death.”

Both the APC and the LP, in their separate reactions, said Kashamu and the PDP had lost touch with the political reality in the state.

Publicity Secretary of the defunct ACN in the state, Alhaji Sola Lawal, said the APC would continue to defeat the PDP in Ogun.

He said, “It amounts to a fool’s dream for anyone to dismiss the potency of APC’s arsenal against PDP in the face of glaring trouncing the latter received from the rested ACN in 2011. ACN was only technically a third of APC. Now, with more men and tactics conferred on the progressives in Ogun State by the merger, the PDP can only reach for their torn swim trunk to survive the impending tsunami.”

Secretary of the LP in the state, Sunday Oginni, declared that the PDP had already “died” in Ogun.

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? ...
