The Southwest zonal office of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday upturned the suspension of the Chairman of the party in Ibadan North East Local Government of Oyo State, Taiwo Iyiola, over alleged anti-party activities.  It said the suspension of Iyiola by the State Working Committee (SWC) was arbitrarily without any preliminary hearing as demanded by the party’s constitution.  PDP spokesman in Oyo State Akeem Olatunji said on the phone that the Zonal Secretary, Daisi Akintan, who signed the letter reinstating the suspended chairman, lacked power to act without the consent of the Zonal Chairman, Dayo Ogunbenro. He said the purported letter was null and void.

BAFTA Scotland Awards 🏆: Richard Madden, Florence Pugh Among Nominations 🎞 as 'Wild Rose' Leads Charge

-
Bodyguard star Richard Madden may have been a shocking omission from the list of nominees for the 2019 BAFTA TV awards earlier this year, but the Scottish-born actor - who won a Golden Globe for his turn as police sergeant David Budd in the hit BBC/Netflix series - is at least getting some recognition in his homeland.

Madden - also recently seen as Elton John's manager in Rocketman and soon to enter the Marvel universe thanks to The Eternals - has been nominated for a BAFTA Scotland award, going up against fellow Scots Alex Ferns (Chernobyl) and Ncuti Gatwa (Sex Education) for best actor television.

In the best actress television category, Jenna Coleman (The Cry), Kelly Macdonald (The Victim) and Morven Christie (The Bay) are all nominated.

Away from the small screen, Jessie Buckley is nominated for best actress in a film for her lead turn in Wild Rose, alongside Shirley Henderson, who played Lucille Hardy in Stan & Ollie, and Florence Pugh, seen as queen consort Elizabeth de Burgh in Netflix's Outlaw King.

Jack Lowden, meanwhile, earned a nomination as Henry Stuart in Mary Queen of Scots, together with Peter Mullan for psychological thriller The Vanishing and Lorn Macdonald for coming-of-age music drama Beats.

Wild Rose and The Cry both led the way on the BAFTA Scotland nominations count, with three each.

About 300,000 people are expected to leave Hong Kong for Britain using a new visa route which opens on Sunday. Hong Kong's British National (Overseas) passport holders and their immediate dependants will be able to apply for the visa using a smartphone app. Boris Johnson said the move honoured the UK's "profound ties of history and friendship" with the ex-British colony. The visa was announced in July after China imposed a new security law in Hong Kong. Beijing has previously warned the UK not to meddle in domestic issues. Those who apply and secure the visa will be able to apply for settlement after five years and then British citizenship after a further 12 months. Although there are 2.9 million citizens eligible to move to the UK, with a further estimated 2.3 million dependants, the government expects about 300,000 people to take up the offer. The prime minister said: "I am immensely proud that we have brought in this new route for Hong Kong BNOs to live, work
