It was learnt that the 12 nominees will fill the 12 vacant positions in the Federal Executive Council. P.M.NEWS also gathered that despite the public outcry against Oduah, the President is not contemplating her removal for now.

The three guests had arrived from Georgia to spend the New Year's holiday in the vacation home of Manhattan interior designer J. Arthur Dunnam. The female off
