PDP Says:- We Won’t Accept Any Result From an INEC Headed by Buhari’s Daughter ‘Zakari’

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is insisting that Amina Zakari, acting chairperson of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC must go.

PDP National Publicity secretary, Oliseh Metuh, says the party will reject results of elections conducted by Zakari whom they claim is like a “daughter” to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking during a courtesy visit to the National Democratic Institute and International Republican Institute in Abuja, Metuh said, ”We have INEC and the idea is that people heading it should be above board, but the present ruling party has appointed the ‘daughter’ of the President to head the position. There is no where in the world where such has happened, a person who has a relationship with the President.

”I am drawing the attention of the IRI that Buhari has appointed his ‘daughter’ as INEC Chairman, we believe there will not be fairness. It will be very difficult to accept any result of the election conducted by Amina Zakari. It will be difficult for PDP to accept result of election if we lose under Zakari”.

World Record:- Guy Sets New World Record By Kicking Himself In The Head 134 Times In 1 Minute

Kicking yourself in the head might simply sound stupid to most people, but it’s also unbelievably hard, requiring extreme flexibility and stability. Doing it 134 times in just 60 seconds sounds impossible, which is what makes Puskar Nepal’s record so impressive. Scoop has more:

The young Nepalese apparently spent eight months developing his own head-kicking technique, which involved bending his upper body to an almost 90-degree angle and using both feet to kick his forehead, while maintaining his balance. One of the witnesses of Puskar’s official Guinness World Record attempt at Kantipur City College in Kathmandu, Nepal, said he was so amazed by his speed that he had to watch the whole thing in slow motion to accurately count the number of kicks.

Luckily for Puskar, he managed to kick his head 134 times in one minute, breaking the old record of 127, set in 2013 by Joel Leindecker of the USA on the set of ‘Guinness World Records Unleashed’ in Los Angeles, California. Asked what motivated him to try and set a new Guinness record, Puskar Nepal said “I want to contribute something for the poor people of rural areas. I want the people from different countries to know about me. Breaking a world record has always been a dream for me.”

Inspired by his successful attempt, Puskar is now looking for new challenges. “I’m now so passionate aboutGuinness World Records that I aim to set more than 100 records,” he said. “I believe my records would help promote my country, birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha, around the globe. Also I want to prove that people from a small and poor country like Nepal can also do anything. I want to be inspiration of the people of my country.”



Air Plane Propeller Rips Through Roof In Upstate New York

A plane propeller ripped through the roof of a home in upstate New York on Thursday after it fell off a single-engine plane flying over the Montgomery County village. Police said no one was hurt in the incident. The owners of the home on Green Acres Lane were not home at the time. UPI reports:

According to the Daily Gazette, the pilot of the aircraft had “enough altitude and speed to glide into the pilot’s nearby private landing strip without incident.” Though he did not identify who was flying the plane, State Police Senior Investigator Jeffrey Ullman said no one was charged. The Federal Aviation Administration, who was notified of the event, will join state police in an official investigation.
Ullman said that the most important thing was that no one was injured. “This was an older plane, but it was a pretty good size propeller. So everyone was very lucky.”

It was reported the plane was experiencing engine trouble while in flight. When the propeller collided into the home, Ullman said that the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department swept the area for rubble from the aircraft, but nothing turned up.

“As they started to clear out another call came in that a house had sustained some damage from a propeller,” he said. “It went right through the roof and into the attic area, causing some damage to the walls. He was fortunate that it didn’t damage his plane when it came off.”
