Michel Temer To Mount The Saddle As Brazil’s President


According to the Brazillian senate, Michel Temer will be sworn in as president of Brazil at 1900 GMT Wednesday after Dilma Rousseff was impeached.

Senate president Renan Calheiros made this known at the senate chamber, where he announced that acting president Temer, 75, would be sworn in as full head of state after members convicted Rousseff of breaking state accounting laws at an impeachment trial.

Rousseff, 68, was convicted by 61 of the 81 senators of illegally manipulating the national budget. The vote, passing the needed two-thirds majority, meant she was immediately ousted from office.

It was indeed a dicey moment as cheers and cries of disappointment erupted in the blue-carpeted, circular Senate chamber as the verdict flashed up on the electronic voting screen.

I appreciate God for making me go through the competition injury-free.'' ''So, that I think is the ultimate; I really thank God. The competition was fine. I really don’t talk about it because it makes me so emotional''.'' Reacting to claims that Nigerian athletes do well when they prepare well, Usman said ''I disagree with that. This is an event people have been preparing for, for four years. You just can’t jump in within a month and half to the Games thinking you can beat those who have been training for more than four years. It’s just not possible; let’s not even think about it.''
