INEC gets new boss

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday
approved the appointment of Prince Solomon
Soyebi, as the Acting Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC).
This brought to an end the short reign of Philip
Umeadi, who without approval, had taken over
leadership of the commission the moment
former Chairman, Prof. Maurice Iwu was asked
to begin his terminal leave, preparatory to the end
of his tenure on June 13.
Umeadi, who had broken into the office
vacated by Iwu in his bid to forcefully assume
office, was however jolted when news reached
him that Prince Soyebi has been appointed to act
till a substantive chairman was appointed.
Prof. Iwu before he began his leave last week had
written President Jonathan informing him that he
had begun his leave as directed, noting however,
that a formal handover of the commission to an
acting chairman would be performed when a
replacement had been appointed.
He also noted that a detailed handover note was
being prepared by commission's Secretary, Alhaji
Abdullahi Kaugama to help achieve a smooth
transition.

Terrence Howard plays Mandela in 'Winnie'

Terrence Howard will portray Nelson
Mandela while Jennifer Hudson plays Winnie,
based on the story of Winnie Mandela, Nelson
Mandela's ex wife.The movie is set
to start production on May 31 in Cape Town,
Johannesburg and Robben Island, where Nelson
Mandela was held prisoner for 18 of his 27 years
in prison.
While Nelson Mandela is a universally
sympathetic figure for his struggle against
apartheid, his former wife is a far more
complicated figure. She has been depicted as the
mother and wife who was a steadfast supporter
of her activist husband and who was jailed
herself for campaigning for his release and
fighting against apartheid. Her image was
subsequently tarnished by association with a
bodyguard who murdered a 14-year old alleged
informer, and she was later convicted of fraud.
