Top 10 Newspaper Headlines Wednesday, September 14th 2022
Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Major Newspapers in Nigeria
PUNCH NEWSPAPER
1. I don’t believe in Muslim-Muslim ticket, says Okowa
The vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and Governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, on Tuesday, warned against what he described as cyberbullying as political parties squared up for campaigns on September 28.
He also expressed optimism that the PDP would win the 2023 elections because Nigerians had keyed into the project.
The governor who spoke during a summit by the Northern Christian Youth Assembly with the theme, “Unifying Nigeria: The role of Northern Christian Youths and Women”, which held in Abuja, also kicked against the Muslim-Muslim ticket, saying it “is not a good thing to do particularly in a troubled nation as we are in today.”
Okowa told the youth that with their support, they were going to win the 2023 elections.
2. LP seeks Keyamo’s placement on terror watch list
The Labour Party has called on the nation’s service chiefs to place the Spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, on the security watch list.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of LP, Abayomi Arabambi, and made available to The PUNCH on Tuesday.
The opposition party’s demand was a response to Keyamo’s allegation that the LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was planning to fake an assassination attempt and hire some supporters dressed in the APC caps and T-shirts to attack his party offices.
3. Paulinho strikes late as Sporting stun Spurs
Antonio Conte admitted Tottenham got what they deserved as Paulinho’s last-gasp goal inspired Sporting Lisbon’s shock 2-0 win in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Conte’s side paid the price for some sloppy finishing and two pieces of dismal defending in stoppage-time at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.
Richarlison, Harry Kane and Emerson Royal were all unable to beat Sporting keeper Antonio Adan, while Son Heung-min’s goal-drought extended to eight games.
VANGUARD NEWSPAPER
4. Rainfall: LASG issues relocation order to occupiers on drainage paths
Lagos State Government has issued a fresh warning to owners of all structures on drainage alignments and setbacks to immediately relocate to higher grounds for safety and for easy flow of floods.
The State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tunji Bello, who gave the directive yesterday, said the move has become necessary as a result of persistent heavy rainfall leading to flash floods.
Bello added that many of such buildings have already been marked in Mende, Maryland and Aboru in Alimosho for contraventions of drainage alignments and may soon be demolished.
He said that it was regrettable that after several of such warnings, the residents of the areas have refused to move but would rather resort to cheap blackmail of having nowhere to relocate to.
5. Aregbesola orders exams for Immigration, NSCDC personnel
Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola has ordered the conduct of promotion examinations for deserving personnel of Immigration, Fire, NSCDC and Correctional Service to states, instead of only in Abuja.
The minister said on Tuesday that the centre used for the examinations by the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board was too crowded and would not give the exercise the integrity needed.
A statement issued by Deputy Director of Press and Public Relations in the ministry, Mr Afonja Ajibola, said that the minister gave the directive when he visited Saascon International School Computer Based Test (CBT) Centre, Abuja.
6. NSCDC arrests man who allegedly burgled Mosque in Kano

He said the suspect was arrested with arrays of sliding window burglary shields belonging to Dawakin Tofa Central Mosque.
“The suspects concealed the stolen burglars in a large sack and were being conveyed to the market when operatives of NSCDC intercepted and apprehended him,” Idris-Abdullahi said.
THE NATION NEWSPAPER
7. House of Reps hails Kwara over use of UBEC grant
The House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on Basic Education and Services has commended Kwara for efficient use of basic education grants.

The commendation came barely one month after UBEC said Kwara stands out for excellent utilisation of the grants — a feat the body observed is a clear departure from its horrible experience with Kwara State in the past when the grants were diverted, resulting in official blacklist of the state for at least seven years (2013-2019).
8. Makinde tackles Gbolarumi over Atiku’s parley in Oyo
