Trending@ITREALMS:

Some Nigerian tweeps have called on the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to resign with immediate effect, reports ITREALMS.

Tweeps are Twitter enthusiasts who often use the Twitter online message service to send and receive tweets.

According to tweeps who are canvassing for his resignation, Yakubu has crossed the redline by this alleged endorsement of the Presidential candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC), President Mohammadu Buhari (PMB) by adorning purported APC campaign cap to the National Council of States meeting recently, reports ITREALMS.

This accusation spurred from a tweet @SweetShantel alleged that Prof. Yakubu was wearing a cap with APC’s logo, the broom.

She pointed out that this was the same cap President Buhari of APC wore recently during his campaign tour to Taraba State.

“What this means, is that @inecNigeria has endorsed PMB,” she lamented and called for his immediate resignation from office.

Another Tweep who goes with @Mr. Profit, says that if it were to be a cap designed for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign that APC will cry out and drummed support for @Sweetshantel.

Breaking News: Sepp Blatter, FIFA forced to resign

ITRealms

The longest serving President of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), Mr. Sepp Blatter, personally on Tuesday announced his decision to resign from the office he won for the fifth times, reports ITRealms.

This is coming as allegation upon allegation bribe scandal over FIFA under his watch linked with some 14 senior members of FIFA for accepting about 10 million dollars in bribes from the South African government among others. 

ITRealms recalls that for over a week now, moreso before the last FIFA election a few days ago, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States have beamed its searchlight on FIFA over corruption. 

However, the former FIFA President while announcing his resignation disclosed he will summon an "extraordinary congress" of the football governing body to pick his successor. 

According to him, "I only want to do the best for FIFA and my institution. I decided to stand again as the best option for football. The elections are closed but the challenges we face haven't come to an end. FIFA needs restructuring. Although FIFA have given me a new mandate, it doesn't seem to be supported by everyone - fans, clubs; those who inspire FIFA like we do."

Blatter's reign in FIFA has been on for 17 years.
