  • My eldest daughter happiest with new Liverpool contract – Salah

    My eldest daughter happiest with new Liverpool contract – Salah

    Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah admits he wants to be help bring through the club’s young players after signing a new deal today.

    It was announced this morning that Salah has put pen to paper on a new contract to 2027.

    And after this morning’s news, Salah told liverpoolfc.com: “It’s fantastic to be here for another two years. I’m really happy to have signed a new contract.

    “We have a great team, as it has been in the past years. I chose to stay because I believe we can win more trophies and continue to enjoy my football.

    “Liverpool means so much to me. I spent the best years of my career here. I have already spent eight seasons with this shirt, and I hope it will become ten. I enjoy life, football and everything that is related to this club. My family feels at home.

    “Magi and the children were thrilled with the news. In particular, Makka, our eldest daughter, was the happiest: she has friends here, school, everything. The atmosphere at home was really positive after the signing.”

    Salah admits he has his eyes on breaking more goalscoring records as Reds player.

    He continued: “It’s great, but I’m more proud of the trophies I’ve won with the team. Goals count, of course, but what people really remember are the collective victories. Four goals to get into the top four all-time Premier League goalscorers? That would be nice. It’s not bad for a winger.

    “But again, scoring is only important if the team is involved and fighting for big goals. Just individual awards, without trophies, are not enough.”

    The Egypt international says he’s ready for a new role within the team, as an example for the younger players at Liverpool.

    Salah also said: “I like to be a point of reference for the younger ones. I arrived here at 24, I have grown as a person and as a footballer. When young people approach me and ask questions, I am pleased. Sometimes I observe them and see myself again. I understand the pressure, but as you grow you learn to manage it.

    “I don’t wake up every day thinking I am an example, but I always try to be professional, on and off the pitch. I arrive early, I train seriously. The younger guys are intelligent, they notice things and often imitate me: it works.”

    On winning a second Premier League title with Liverpool, Salah says he’s ready.

    He added: “I want it so much. I’ve said it since the start of the season: winning the Premier League is my goal. The fans deserve it. Last time we couldn’t celebrate as we wanted. This time we want to do it at Anfield, in the streets, together with them.”

  • It will be my last year at City if… – De Bruyne

    It will be my last year at City if… – De Bruyne

    Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has opened up about his future at the club and how he could leave at the end of the season.

    The Belgium midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and has held off talks of a new contract due to a thigh problem sustained in September which manager Pep Guardiola said put him in the wrong frame of mind when deciding his future,

    De Bruyne spoke in the club’s most recent press conference about his injury and how he could depart the club if talks do not commence.

    “Obviously when I started the season I knew talks would happen but then I had that thing (thigh injury) against Brentford and put that to a side,” said De Bruyne.

    “I was hoping to be out for days but it ended up being eight or nine weeks and I would rather get back first and all the rest will come.

    “I am not too obsessed with things but there is not much I can say. I am fine, I am happy, I just want to play football again and we will see.

    “Talks will come, if no talks come it will be my last year. I just want to play good football.”

    Guardiola admitted that the veteran midfielder has his doubts about his own ability and lacks the confidence he once had after a limited amount of starts this season which has left him deflated.

    “He wants to finish here at his best.

    “I don’t think he will be here when he believes he doesn’t feel he can be the Kevin that can produce and help the team like he has done in the last decade.”

    De Bruyne has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent months as a number of clubs look to secure his services for free at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see what happens in the January transfer window when clubs are allowed to open negotiations with the City star who have been a crucial asset in the club’s most successful period in history.

  • Abia Assembly threatens to terminate contract with Innoson over alleged breach

    Abia Assembly threatens to terminate contract with Innoson over alleged breach

    Abia House of Assembly has threatened to terminate its contract with the Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing Ltd for allegedly reneging on agreement to produce vehicles for all the lawmakers.

    The Speaker, Mr Emmanuel Emeruwa, made this known on Thursday in Umuahia, during an interaction with the media,  as part of activities to mark the one year anniversary of the 8th Assembly.

    He regretted that members were yet to have their vehicles one year after their inauguration.

    He said that the preference for IVM vehicles was informed by Gov. Alex Otti’s quest to promote local contents.

    Emeruwa said that Innoson had received all the money required to produce vehicles for Assembly members, but  had reneged more that 10 times to produce them.

    “So far, Innoson has not been able to produce or perform its own side of agreement.

    “At this point, we are at the verge of terminating that contract and ask for our money back if he doesn’t perform within the next 15 days.

    “This house is very serious about it and they cannot continue pacifying us after one year,” he said.

    Giving a scorecard of the 8th Assembly in one year, the Speaker said that it had passed five out of 15 bills into law.

    He said that the house had also made 40 resolutions and had received 46 petitions and 55 motions.

    According to him, this Assembly is very active and before this time next year, more would have been achieved.

    He said that the 8th Assembly had been very peaceful and had been enjoying a good relationship with the Executive.

    The present Assembly which consists of 24 members, was inaugurated on June 15, 2023.

    Senate seeks probe into $500m CCTV contract in FCT

    The Senate has called on the Minister of Federal Capital Territory,(FCT) Chief Nyesom Wike to investigate the implementation of 500 million dollars contract on installation of CCTV cameras in the FCT.

    Senate resolution was sequel to the adoption of a motion on Galadimawa Kidnapping Tragedy at plenary on Wednesday.

    The motion was sponsored by Sen.Ned Nwoko(PDP-Delta).

    Nwoke in his lead debate expressed concern on the recent kidnapping incident in Galadimawa area of the FCT, involving multiple individuals, including his Senior Legislative Aide, Mr. Chris Agidy.

    He said two weeks ago, a distressing incident unfolded, where 19 individuals were forcefully taken from their homes in Galadimawa area of Abuja.

    Nwoke said, upon receiving the distressing news, immediate measures were taken, saying that he contacted the Commissioner of Police who swiftly activated the OC Anti-Kidnapping team to secure the release of those abducted.

    He, however, expressed regret that distressing updates from reliable police sources confirmed that out of the 19 individuals abducted, 12 have been killed, while seven remained in the custody of the kidnappers.

    He said efforts to ascertain the well-being and status of his staff, among the 7 individuals still held, was ongoing.

    Nwoke said there was a close coordination with the security operatives who have been diligently working on the matter.

    He, however, said the challenges persist, as contacting the kidnappers for negotiation has proven immensely difficult.

    “Their lines remain inactive, hindering direct communication and negotiation efforts.

    “According to security operatives, efforts are still focused on securing the remaining individuals held captive from the forested area approximately 100 km away, despite the daunting challenges faced in reaching the kidnappers.

    “As we await further updates from the authorities, we remain resolute in our pursuit of a swift and safe resolution to this distressing situation.”

    Contributing, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe (APGA-Abia ) said kidnapping was not just in Galadimawa alone, but also in Lugbe, Kubwa Kuje, and other parts of the FCT.

    He said many residents in these areas no longer sleep in their homes for fear of being kidnapped.

    He said there was an urgent need for the senate to take the issue seriously as FCT its environs was under seige of kidnapping.

    Sen.Adamu Alero (PDP-Kebbi) said insecurity was everywhere in the FCT, saying that urgent steps needed to be taken to put a halt to it.

    He called for a revisiting of the 500 million dollars contract awarded for the installation of CCTV cameras in the FCT in the past.

    Alero said it was a shame, national embarrassment for kidnapping activities to be happening in the FCT, saying that the National Assembly had approved over N 1 trillion for security agencies to fight insecurity in Nigeria.
