The Prime Minister welcomed President-elect Buhari of Nigeria to Downing Street this morning. Both leaders congratulated each other on their recent election victories and discussed the challenges facing Nigeria. The Prime Minister stressed the UK’s wish to work for a stable, prosperous and secure Nigeria. The leaders discussed security in the region and the fight against terrorism, particularly the threat posed by Boko Haram. They discussed the need for a regional approach and agreed to continue working together to build the capacity of the Nigerian army, with the UK continuing to provide military training and intelligence support.
Tony Blair visited President-elect Buhari this morning, 13 May 2015 in Abuja. Buhari also visited the former labour party leader during his presidential campaign trail in London.
Meanwhile back at home in England, Blair's correspondents with Prince Charles over more than a decade ago has been ruled by Supreme court to be made available after a decade long campaign by British media. Hopefully there wouldn't be anything embarrassing in those letters.
This line up of MP candidates is probably the most humorous/funniest in the history of British politics. One candidate fold his hands across his chest, one turned up in costume, another just can't be bothered, the lady being the nicest claps on as the Prime Minister was declared winner.
Deek Jackson, Land Party candidate is the guy that wasn't having any of David Cameron's victory as he was declared winner, so he gave him the middle finger straight there and then. Bad Man!!! lol
Is Goodluck Jonathan a political trendsetter? In the just concluded Nigeria presidential election, part of Pres. Goodluck Jonathan strategical moves was numerous visits to churches across the nation. He explored the religion aspect of the game but didn't pay off though because he eventually lost the election.
The Brits will be going to the poll on the 7th Of May to elect a new Prime Minister. The incumbent, David Cameron in recent days has bee using what looks like the "Goodluck Jonathan strategy" by visitng religion gatherings. The Prime Minister was at this year's Redeem Church holy ghost night at Excel Centre in London, where he got to meet the church's general overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, he prayed for him and Mr Cameron addressed the congregation.

David Cameron's next religion stop was the 2015 Vaisakhi parade in Gravesend. Vaisakhi is the celebration of Sikh's new year. Though the prime minister sent them a video message last year but there is no record of him visiting them, however, he sent them a message this year too followed by a visitation, a prayer at their temple, and addition short message at the parade in Gravesend, the video is below.
His moves has been widely criticised has many, it has been described as using God for votes ahead of the May 7 national election. Do you think the Prime Minister is doing these as a leader or he's doing it for votes. Ssip your opinion in the comment box. Ciao!
The Redeem Church's yearly festival of life gathering at Excel London, East London is usually a success and this year is no exception. The Congregation however got a shocker when an unexpected visitor emerge, the British Prime Minister, David Cameron. He addressed the audience and then went on to meet Pastor Adeboye, the General Overseer Of the church.
We hope this visit is not a campaign strategy on the part of David Cameron because the British national election is next month. See more pictures.
