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.

Trump 🇺🇸 Says He Will Soon Issue Sanctions, Stop Trade Deal and Ratchet Up Tariffs on 🇹🇷 Turkey

-
President Donald Trump on Monday said that in response to Turkey’s incursion into Syria he will soon issue an executive order authorizing sanctions against current and former Turkish officials, stop negotiations with Turkey on a $100 billion trade deal, and boost tariffs on Turkish steel to 50 percent.

In a statement in which he vowed to swiftly destroy the Turkish economy if it continues down “this dangerous and destructive path,” Trump also said that US troops coming out of Syria will redeploy and remain in the region to monitor the situation.

Trump’s statement mentions that the executive order authorizing sanctions on Turkey could bar Turkish officials from entering the United States. But Trump has already invited the Turkish president to the White House next month, as a CNN reporter noted.

Trump added in his statement that a “small footprint” of US troops would remain in southern Syria to “continue to disrupt remnants of ISIS.” A number of national security experts have warned that the group could regain strength if the Kurds are forced to abandon ISIS prisons in Syria, which has reportedly already started.

The announcement comes amid bipartisan criticism of Trump’s decision to withdraw US troops from the region.

On Wednesday, Turkey launched its military operation to flush Kurds allied with the US out of northeastern Syria. Trump apparently gave Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan the go-ahead on Sunday October 6 to proceed with his long-planned move against Kurdish fighters who make up part of the Syrian Defense Forces and who lost thousands of men fighting with the US against ISIS.

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
