Morrison Slams Manchester City Defence After Near-Fulham Collapse.
Former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison has raised concerns over Manchester City’s defensive frailties following their 5-4 victory against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Tuesday night. City, managed by Pep Guardiola, held a commanding 3-1 lead at halftime and were ahead 5-1 in the second half, but Fulham’s late surge, highlighted by Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze’s goals, nearly turned the game on its head.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Morrison commented, “Manchester City have a defensive problem. Their attacking is strong, but at the back they must improve. Josko Gvardiol’s clearance was crucial in securing three points, and over the course of the season, every point matters. You’d never see Arsenal let a 5-1 lead slip like that, so defensive improvements are essential.”
Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has urged Labour Party (LP) candidates contesting the forthcoming elections in Imo State and their supporters to approach the polls with confidence and ensure that their votes are protected.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
News reports that Otti gave the charge on Wednesday in Owerri, Imo State, while addressing party members during the official flag-off of the LP’s campaign in the state.
The governor expressed confidence that the party would emerge victorious in the 2027 general election, particularly in Imo State.
He said, “On behalf of the party, I want to pray that it is well with all of you. I therefore give you the charge to go out there and win, because victory is certain.
“You have only one vote. Only one. So, it is not enough to cast it; you need to protect it.”
Otti also advised LP members in Imo against chanting “Best Governor” in his honour, explaining that he was not in competition with Governor Hope Uzodinma or any other governor in the country.
According to him, every state has its unique challenges, and his administration is focused on addressing the problems he inherited in Abia State.
Meanwhile, the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Nenadi Usman, expressed confidence that the party would win the forthcoming elections in Imo State while presenting its flags to the National Assembly and State Assembly candidates.
Usman, who was represented by the party’s Deputy National Chairman, North-West, Salisu Nuhu Muhammed, said the LP would build on its achievements in Abia State to secure victory in Imo.

“But before I talk my mind, make I ask one question first. Where una REAL airport dey? 🤨 Because the last time I came, Air Peace carry me go drop for one ‘motor park’! 😭 And I KNOW Warri is too important a city to have an airport that looks like a motor park!
