A former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, who abandoned the party over the cost of its Expression of Interest and Nomination forms, Adamu Garba, has suspended his presidential aspiration in the 2023 general election.

Adamu after leaving the APC joined the Young Progressives Party where he picked the presidential Expression of Interest form.

He, however, announced the suspension of his presidential aspiration on Tuesday.

Adamu said, “Fellow Nigerians, in line with my aspiration for the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the coming 2023 general election, we have identified some critical factors which are currently at odds with our aspirations and desire to bring about positive change to the Nigerian political space. Below are the most critical among the identified factors;

“There is a need for widespread consultation and rally of the interest of the country’s stakeholders, nationwide. This we did not achieve to some satisfaction.

“Nigerian Youth, whose agenda is what I am projecting is mostly disconnected and in silos, there is a need for proper networking among us, to build a network of like-minds, that genuinely care for Nigeria within the Youth constituency. This will require a longer time and nationwide consultation, and interest. building/alignment with stronger bonding among all classes of the Youth.

“There is a need for developing a structure that will ensure a pool of resources across board for us to succeed in our journey to the office of the President.

“In view of the above, we have decided to suspend our aspiration for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the coming 2023 general elections.

“I have made this decision after consulting with my closest associates, friends, family and other high-level stakeholders and elder statesmen within and outside the country.

“These three constraints, which are evidently clear for all to see, are deep-rooted issues that require our collective action to address over a longer period of time. It could not have been done within the eight months on the campaign trail.

It is with this in mind, based on facts, that I must drop my intention to aspire for the office of the President in the coming 2023 election while opening a new chapter of working hard with critical stakeholders, the network of like-minds, with mutual trust and understanding among the youth across the country while building a resource domain.

“It may be comatose for me to take on the aspirations after identifying genuine gaps that are caused by the circumstances within our limitations. It may not be good to raise the hope and interest of the young people high, while in fact, there are instrumentations that needs to be put in place before we proceed.

“I have made it categorically clear that my only interest in Nigerian Politics is in the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am therefore not going to change my stance on this, however, the factors highlighted above tell me it will be the election cycle, but not the coming 2023 general elections.

“I promise you that I will carry you along on all issues related to my desire for the greatness of this country. I must also have the courage to face the facts on the ground which might affect the campaign and accept it even if it goes contrary to my personal interest.”

The former presidential aspirant added that he would prioritise the interest of the youths.

He said, “To all Nigerian Youth; male or female; I am coming for you. I will reach out to you. We will all have to work together to deliver a greater Nigeria.

“We must not relent, we must not demur, we must not give up. We will all have the country of our dream in Nigeria.

“The Nigerian Project is the Project that everyone is required to put his/her hands on the desk to ensure we deliver for the future generations of Nigerians. We are just starting. Let’s continue with the movement to make Nigeria great.”

In a rare case, a 30-year-old Texas woman became pregnant while being already pregnant, and gave birth to twins within a span of six minutes.

Cara Winhold, became pregnant when she was already pregnant. In February last year, Cara became pregnant. A month later, she was pregnant again.

The condition is known as superfetation in medical terms, — in this condition a new pregnancy occurs during an initial pregnancy within days or weeks after the first one.

“I said to the doctor, ‘What happened? He wasn’t there the first time. What’s going on?’ The doctor said that most likely I ovulated twice, released two eggs and they got fertilized at different times, about a week apart. I 100% believe it was a miracle just because of everything that happened in my pregnancy journey,” said Cara

“I broke down in tears and cried. I was overwhelmed, confused, but very happy. My husband was in shock,” Cara said.

Baby Colson Winhold and his little brother Cayden were conceived a week apart, according to reports.

Around 0.3 percent of pregnant women suffer from this condition

Speaking to the New York Post, she said, “I knew I wanted more kids. I’m very optimistic, and I was like, ‘It’s going to happen,’ and I knew it was part of my journey and life to be a mom, and so I knew I didn’t want to give up but going to therapy made me learn how to heal and understand that it wasn’t my fault. It took a lot of time.”

Cara and her husband, Blake, welcomed their first child Wyatt in 2018. However, later Cara, unfortunately, suffered 3 miscarriages while trying for another child. As per the reports, the last miscarriage was nearly fatal. The situation was such that she was scared to get pregnant again.

Cara got pregnant in February of last year, and the doctor informed the couple a month later that they were expecting twins. Superfetation affects around 0.3% of pregnant women in the world. In most cases, the second baby dies during pregnancy.
