Ahead of the 2019 general elections, Governor Abdulaziz Yari has allegedly rejected peaceful negotiations that would enable the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC to contest all the elective positions in the State. DAILY POST gathered that the party’s national headquarters arranged consensus negotiations to fill in the candidates in the state but the Governor rejected the peace accord outrightly. According to a source very close to the state Government House in Gusau, the state capital, Governor Abdulaziz Yari insisted that his candidate, Alhaji Muktar Idris Shehu must remain the governorship candidate of the party in the state. ” I cannot accept any member of the G8 group to be given the governorship ticket, otherwise there would be no candidate of the party in the state,” he was said to have boasted.

Ben STANSALL / AFP Premier League club Chelsea have been banned from signing new players in the next two transfer windows as punishment for breaking rules on registering under-age players, FIFA said on Friday. It means the club — who immediately said they would appeal the decision — will be unable to make signings until the end of January next year. “The disciplinary committee sanctioned Chelsea with a ban on registering new players at both national and international level for the next two complete and consecutive registration periods,” FIFA said in a statement. In addition, Chelsea were fined 600,000 Swiss francs ($600,000, 530,000 euros) and given a period of 90 days to regularise the situation of the minor players concerned.

FIFA has banned Chelsea for two transfer windows, for breaching the rules around the transfer of minors, SportsMail reports. The Premier League club is guilty of breaching article 19 of FIFA’s regulations, with regards to the transfer of 29 minor players and article 18 regarding two further minors. They have now been banned from registering new players for the next two transfer windows, the coming summer window and next January. Chelsea is likely to appeal to FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport. That means they will almost certainly be able to get the ban pushed back until after the summer window, in order to do any key business. Chelsea has also been fined 600,000 Swiss Francs (£460,314). The FA have been found to have breached the rules in connection with minors too and have been fined 510,000 Swiss Francs (£391,260).

However, the increase in the introduction of EVs is coming with some challenges. In countries were that have witnessed a proliferation of EVs, petrol stations are very common, almost on nearly every corner, charging stations are scarce. That is especially true in some suburban and rural areas where the nearest charging station could be several towns away.
