  Former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has claimed that former president Olusegun Obasanjo told President Muhammadu Buhari the ‘bitter truth’ about the recent #EndSARS protests during a virtual meeting on Friday. Buhari had met with past heads of states and presidents following the recent violence recorded in parts of the country over the two-week-long #EndSARS protests. While presidential aide, Femi Adesina, said Obasanjo had commended Buhari for the national broadcast he delivered on the protests, Fani-Kayode claimed that the former president countered Buhari over his claim that the protesters resorted to violence. “Glad that OBJ told Buhari the bitter truth at their meeting after he claimed that the protests were turning violent. OBJ countered by telling him that the protests were peaceful until sponsored and violent thugs and hoodlums turned on the protesters and started attacking them,” said Fani-Kayode, who was special assistant on public affairs to Obasanjo from 2003 ...

  Nadal, aiming for a 10th title in Rome and 13th at Roland Garros, was thrown off balance by the Argentine’s energy and shot-making. The delayed 2020 French Open serves off on Monday and the preparation of World No.2 and clay court specialist, Rafael Nadal, was thrown off course on Saturday in Italy when he was deservedly beaten in the Italian Open quarter final by Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman 6-2 7-5. Nadal, aiming for a 10th title in Rome and 13th at Roland Garros, was thrown off balance by the Argentine’s energy and shot-making while his own first serve percentage let him down. The abiding picture of the match in Rome was that of Nadal’s father applauding the diminutive Schwartzman after the deserved victory. That was Schwartzman’s first victory in 10 meetings over the clay specialist and the best he has played against any of the top players in the world. Speaking at the post-match press conference, the 28-year-old, ranked 15th in the world, said, “For sure it’s my best match ...

  Aston Villa have signed England midfielder Ross Barkley from Chelsea on a season-long loan. Barkley, who has 33 international caps, has been at Stamford Bridge since moving from Everton in January 2018. The 26-year-old has played three times for Chelsea this season, scoring once. "Capturing a player of Ross's quality is a real coup for our club and I am certain he will thrive here and improve our team," said Villa manager Dean Smith. Barkley left boyhood club Everton following 179 appearances and 27 goals for the Toffees. The attacking midfielder has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea after the signings of forwards Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and winger Hakim Ziyech and is yet to start in the Premier League this season. He scored in Chelsea's 6-0 third-round thrashing of Barnsley in the Carabao Cup. Barkley is the fifth major signing for Villa this summer following the arrivals of winger Bertrand Traore from Lyon , striker Ollie Watkins from Brentford , goalkeepe...
