APC, PDP Chieftains In Secret Meeting To Form New Mega Party

Political bigwigs in both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are intensifying plans to form a broad based political platform to displace the two big parties in the country.<br />
<br />
<a id="more" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
Talks to form what is called a “third force” in political circles, according to findings, centre around whittling down the influence of the ruling APC and the opposition PDP. The plan is expected to fully mature next year.<br />
<br />
Moves towards that goal were said to have intensified during the disputed National Convention of the PDP which just ended in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, this week.<br />
<br />
Sources close to the PDP told Tribune on Friday that the discussions that certain leaders of the party had expressed the sentiment that they should move out en masse from the PDP and go ahead to form the ‘third force’ with others in the ruling party a move which they reasoned, would ensure that the PDP is left to the Ali Modu Sheriff faction.<br />
<br />
One of the speakers at the meeting was quoted as saying that those behind Sheriff are “not up to the size of a local government” and that if the PDP is abandoned for them it would become a hollow structure.<br />
<br />
It was, however, learnt that an understanding had been reached at the closed parley that efforts aimed at forming another party with likeminded politicians from within the PDP and the APC should intensify quietly.<br />
<br />
A source close to the two parties indicated that “a working agreement is already in place to ensure that the aggrieved members of the APC and the PDP are brought together in a way that would decimate the ruling party and supplant it in 2019.”<br />
<br />
Sources confirmed to Tribune that some political bigwigs within the APC are already getting excited at the prospect of joining up with like minds to form a party in which they would have equal stakes.<br />

"Amuneke, through hard work, won the Nations Cup with the Super Eagles, he won the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Gold and as a coach, he won the U-17 FIFA World Cup.<br />

Ways to avoid unnecessary bank charges

Bank depositors need to watch their bank accounts closely for unnecessary charges. Even a handful of bank charges could push a person deeper into debt, making it difficult to recover financially.<br />
<br />
<a id="more" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Understand what your bank can charge: The government sets regulations that prevent banks from charging outlandish fees. Despite some regulations, banks still get to charge relatively high fees for simple mistakes and services. Always read the fine print before opening an account. If your bank updates its policies, read the new fee structures so you understand exactly what it can charge.<br />
<br />
2. Search for banks without unnecessary charges: Not all banks try to make money out of every transaction. If you’re tired of paying some unnecessary fees, search for banks that don’t charge for those services.<br />
<br />
3. Bundle services to avoid bank fees: Banks want you to use as many services as possible, so they eliminate certain fees for customers who use bundled services. Someone with a current account might have to pay a small monthly fee. Adding a savings account could lower or eliminate that fee.<br />
<br />
4. Use online banking to avoid paper statement fees: Now that most banks offer online services, members may have to pay extra for paper statements. As long as you have a computer and internet connection, you can avoid those paper statement fees.<br />
<br />
5. Choose an account with fewer charges: Even at the same bank, members may pay different amounts for similar services. You can save money by choosing an option that matches the way you prefer using your account. For instance, if you prefer going inside the bank to talk to a teller, you may have to pay a fee unless your account covers the service. Other accounts may charge for using the ATMs.<br />
<br />
6. Find an account that will charge you less for the services you plan to use.<br />
<br />
7. Ask the bank to waive fees: Banks want to make extra money by charging fees, but they don’t want to lose long-term customers over piddling amounts. If you receive a charge that you think is unfair, contact the bank to ask about waiving the fee. Many banks will remove the charge from your account to keep your business.<br />
