BREAKING!!! COVID19: Nnamdi Kanu Brings in Truck Loads of Food To Be Distributed To Homes Of Biafrans

The Leader of Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on Sunday redeem brought truckloads of food into his home state to be distributed among members of the secessionist group.

This is in a bid to help the members of the group who are forced to stay at home as a result of the total lockdown order by state governments.

Igbere TV had earlier reported that residents of Abia State are to continue to observe the COVID-19 lockdown in the state by another seven days beginning from April 8.

This is in a bid to curtail the spread of the deadly Wuhan-China disease, coronavirus.

Speaking on the development, Nnamdi Kanu said, “The second batch has arrived, the third batch will be delivered directly to a location in Anambra.

“Distribution to homes and families started yesterday and will continue until all vulnerable families are fed. I am not under any illusion that this is a very tiny drop in a mighty ocean but with the help of numerous Biafran philanthropists, few conscientious politicians and grace of God, Biafrans shall come through this hunger and pestilence stronger as a people and more united as a nation.

“We must be guided by our creed at all times and remember that our ability to defend those who cannot defend themselves is what makes IPOB unique,” Kanu
said.

Business22 Books Every Ambitious Business Owner Should Have On Their Bookshelf by Abdulazeez99(op): 4:21pm On Apr 10, 2020
I have to be honest.

I'm the embodiment of a stereotypical book nerd.

I went from never reading a single book to reading 50+ books every single year. And it's not just me. Some of the world's top CEOs and executives read 4-5 books per month.

So today, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to share some of my all-time favorite books with you.

To make the list easy to read, I've divided all the books into four categories, so you can easily find the books you want to read:

1) Personal development

2) Psychology

3) Leadership

4) Miscellaneous

===

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

===

1. The Obstacle is the Way - The Ancient Art of Turning Adversity to Advantage by Ryan Holiday

This book draws on the ancient Greek philosophy, "Stoicism." Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor, said this almost 2,000 years ago: "What stands in the way becomes the way." The book shows you how some of the world's most successful people encountered difficult and almost impossible situations. And why their success was less about their intelligence, their talent or luck, but more about how they chose to handle stressful situations.

2. The Power Of Now - A Guide To Spiritual Enlightenment Of Eckhart Tolle

This is probably THE BOOK to read if you want to discover how to live more in the present and be present in everything you do. With that said, you need to be very open to the slightly more spiritual element in it - spiritual, not religious. It can be a bit "heavy" in some places, but once you pull out the essence of it, it's a fascinating and thoughtful read.

3. The Way of the Seal - Think Like an Elite Warrior to Lead and Succeed by Mark Divine

The book was written by former Navy SEAL, Mark Divine. He dives into how you build real mental toughness. The book has different exercises to help you turn the techniques into a regular part of your everyday life. Don't let the title scare you away. The book is packed with practical techniques and philosophies that'll make you more focused and more mentally strong.

4. Unbeatable Mind - Forge Resiliency and Mental Toughness to Succeed at an Elite Level by Mark Divine

Yes, yet another book from Mark Divine. The difference between "Unbeatable Mind" and "Way of the SEAL" is that U.M. focuses more on the mental toughness aspect. Look at the description: "The book teaches you to cast out your fear, overcome negativity and connect with a deeper and increased sensitivity to what is happening around you. You want to wipe out the emotional blockades and become the leader you know you were created to be. "

5. The 5 Second Rule - The Surprisingly Simple Way to Live, Love, and Speak With Courage by Mel Robbins

The book gives you an interesting technique that helps you break the different patterns which keep you from doing the things you want. The book has a ton of great stories, examples, and a solid tool you can use.

Mel Robbins also has a great TEDx Talk if you want more material from her.

6. Extreme Ownership - How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

This book... This book is nothing short of amazing! Since I bought it last year, I've been through it 5+ times. Whether you're the CEO, a manager, even if you're a parent, you can use the principles from this book. This is by far my favorite book out of the hundreds of books I've read. The audiobook read by the authors is probably one of the best ones, too.

7. Awaken the Giant Within - How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny by Anthony Robbins

If you haven't heard about Tony Robbins, you're in for a treat. Tony is known as "the father of the coaching industry." He has personally helped people like Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Nelson Mandela! If there were no Tony Robbins, I wouldn't be here either. Tony is one of my most influential mentors.

8. 59 Seconds - Think a little, change a lot by Richard Wiseman

Here's something you might not know: A lot of the self-help industry "guru" uses different examples of studies to make their point. But, no matter how interesting they are, most of them never existed. This book takes a critical view of the self-help industry, and instead gives you some ultra-specific ways to get more motivated, enjoy your life, and much more.

===

PSYCHOLOGY

===

9. The Psychology of Winning: Ten Qualities of a Total Winner by Denis Waitley

Denis Waitley studied the different qualities (mindset, thoughts, focus, etc.) world's top athletes and business people have compared to others who struggle through life. It gives you a clear picture of what you can do to overcome the difficult times that life will inevitably throw at us.

10. The Power of Habit - Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business by Charles Duhigg

If you've ever struggled with a bad habit and don't know how to get rid of it... read this book. This is by far the best book about how to take control of your habits. You discover why we have them, how they're created, and, more importantly: How you change them.

11. The Checklist Manifesto - How To Get Things Right by Atul Gawande

Here's a universal truth: A checklist can save your life (just ask any pilot). Atul Gawande, surgeon and New York Times bestselling author, gives you an insight into how to use checklists to streamline all aspects of your life and business.

12. Influence - The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini

This book is a mastodont of a book. "Influence" is the book that thousands of other books refer to when it comes to understanding human psychology. There are decades worth of research boiled down to a few critical principles that will help you understand the science of influence and how you can influence others and yourself.

13. Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Chris Voss

I LOVE this book! If you've ever struggled with negotiation, or if you just want to take your negotiation skills to the next level, you should read this book. Chris Voss was the international hostage negotiator for the FBI. He's taken his vast experience and boiled it down to step-by-step principles you can use today in ANY negotiation.

===

LEADERSHIP

===

14. Creating Magic: 1 0 Common Sense Leadership Strategies from a Life at Disney by Lee Cockerell

Lee Cockerell shares the leadership principles he discovered during his time with Walt Disney World Resort - a multibillion-dollar company. This sentence pretty much sums up this fantastic book: "It's not the magic that makes it work; it's the way we work that makes it magic."

15. It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy by D. Michael Abrashoff

Leadership and management are difficult in any business. But management in a rigid, top-down hierarchy like the U.S. Navy is something else. Yet, Abrashoff still managed to take the USS Benfold, the worst-performing ship in the navy, and transform it into the "best damn ship in the navy." The book is an excellent practical guide that will turn you into an even better leader.

16. The TRUST Method: 10 Leadership Strategies That Build Genuine Trust and Influence Anyone to Take Action

Ahh, yes, by far, my most FAVORITE book on this list. (Hey, it's my list, there should be some benefits, right?). In the book, you'll discover EVERYTHING you need to know about how to build genuine trust and influence anyone to take action. You'll get ten modules in a hyper-specific, step-by-step program that holds nothing back on the most effective leadership principles.

===

MISCELLANEOUS

===

17. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

The primary reason I read "Ender's Game" was because it's one of Mark Zuckerberg's favorite books. Fortunately, I was more than pleasantly surprised by the exciting story of Ender and his development in the military as a child. If you like science fiction books, this is a great read.

18. The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream by Paulo Coelho

The title says it all: The Alchemist is a story of having the courage to pursue your dreams. The book centers on the boy, Santiago, a shepherd who dreams of traveling the world and its treasures. The book has sold over 65 million copies and holds a Guinness World Record for the most translated book by a living author.

19. Way of the Peaceful Warrior - A Book That Changes Lives by Dan Millman

Honestly, I usually read this book twice a year. The book is based on Dan Millman's real experiences with his mentor "Socrates." It has great life lessons, stories, and philosophies that you can directly implement into your own life.

20. The One Thing - The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller

Most of us probably know the feeling of being overwhelmed by all the different things we want to achieve - losing weight, growing our business, getting a new car. "The One Thing" takes the complete opposite approach. You learn how to cut through the noise, achieve better results in less time with less stress... just by focusing on one thing: The most important thing.

21. Tools of Titans - The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers by Timothy Ferriss

In this book, Tim Ferriss took over 200 podcast episodes - with people like Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger - and boiled them down to the most significant insights and into some simple tools you can use to become the best version of yourself.

22. The 4-Hour Workweek - Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich of Timothy Ferriss

The last book on the list and another book by Tim Ferriss and a modern classic. This book is for you if you want to live life on your terms (i.e., more time between your hands), and this book shows you exactly how to do it.

Honestly, all these books can change your life. So here is my recommendation for you:

Don't debate with yourself whether to buy a book or not. Buy the book, no matter what. If you only get one new idea or new insight from the book, it could potentially change your life and business. At that point, it's already worth a lot more than the few dollars you invested in it.

PoliticsSenator Okorocha Congratulates Uzodinma On Victory At Supreme Court by Abdulazeez99(op): 8:02pm On Jan 14, 2020
The governor-elect of Imo State, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, has said that his stolen mandate has been recovered following Supreme Court judgement that annulled the election of Emeka Ihedioha.

Uzodinma, who spoke through his spokesperson, Declan Emelumba, shortly after the apex court declared him the duly elected governor of the state said that the court had demonstrated bravery.

The governor-elect accused the Peoples Democratic Party of not having good plans for the state.

He said, “The Supreme Court has declared Sen. Hope Uzodinma as the duly elected governor of Imo State. The beautiful thing is that our stolen mandate has been recovered.

“The governor will arrive in Imo State on Wednesday and he will address the people of the state. He has better plans for the people of the state. He is experienced and the state is in for good things.”

TravelTwo FUTO Students Detained In Bosnia Finally Return To Nigeria (photos) by Abdulazeez99(op): 1:36pm On Dec 21, 2019
Two students of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) who were held in Bosnian refugee camps have returned to Nigeria, Igbere TV reports.

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) announced their return on Saturday.

Their return was also facilitated by the Nigerian Mission in Hungary and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyema.

Igbere TV recalled that the Chairman/CEO of NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, had said last week that plans were underway to get the undergraduates back to the country.

The students, Abia Uchenna and Eboh Chinedu, who attended an international table tennis competition in Croatia were deported to Bosnia and Herzegovina despite having valid visas.

They were among five Nigerian students who arrived Zagreb, capital of Croatia, on November 12 for the fifth world inter-university championship.

The students were in the country without the knowledge of the Nigerian Table Tennis Federation; while two returned over three weeks ago, three of them stayed back while one applied for asylum.

PoliticsPresident Buhari, United Nations Condemn Killing Of Aid Workers By ISWAP by Abdulazeez99(op): 10:48am On Dec 14, 2019
President Muhammadu Buhari and the United Nations (UN) have condemned the execution of four aid workers by the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Borno State, Igbere TV reports.

In a statement on Saturday by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina, President Buhari expressed sadness over the development and commiserated with the family and loved ones of the aid workers.

“Evil will always be defeated by good at the end of the day. Whatever seeming victory evil records, eventually rebounds on the evildoer,” he said, “We are resolved to beat evil in this land, and we remain unrelenting till we achieve it.”

President Buhari urged all insurgents to lay down their arms and rejoin decent humanity.

UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Edward Kallon, also condemned the killing.

Head of Public Information, UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Eve Sabbagh, in a statement on Saturday said the UN agency was sad by the killing of the aid workers.

He described the action as “tragic” and called for immediate release of aid workers still under captivity.

“I am deeply saddened and outraged by the news of the tragic killing of four aid workers who were held captive by armed groups for almost five months.

“My thoughts go to their families, friends and colleagues who are enduring unspeakable pain and hardship,” Mr Kallon said.

He described the action as another sad day for the people of Nigeria and the humanitarian community.

“I plead for the immediate release of Grace Taku, the only woman who was in the ACF team, and whose whereabouts remain unknown.

“I also call for the immediate release of Alice Loksha, a nurse and a mother, who was abducted during an attack in Rann in March 2018,” Kallon said.

PoliticsAPC South West Governor To Be Made President In 2023 – Former Minister by Abdulazeez99(op): 6:37pm On Dec 13, 2019
Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, says that a governor in the All Progressives Congress (APC), South West region, has been told by a cabal that he would be made president in 2023, Igbere TV reports.

Mr Fani-Kayode said in a tweet on Friday that the governor has been asked to ‘divide’ and ‘destroy’ socio-cultural group, Afenifere, as condition for being made president.

“An old friend of mine who is an APC Governor in SW has been told by the cabal that they will make him President in 2023. As quid pro qou he has been asked to divide & destroy Afenifere. He is making a big mistake because no matter how hard he tries Afenifere cannot be destroyed,” he said.

The APC governors in the South West region include Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo, Gboyega Oyetola of Osun, and Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti.

Seyi Makinde of Oyo is a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

It is not known if the cabal Fani-Kayode refers to is any different from that which First Lady Aisha Buhari says has hijacked her husband’s government.

PoliticsAll Africans Can Come To Nigeria Without Visa From 2020 – NIS Boss, Babandede by Abdulazeez99(op): 7:30pm On Dec 12, 2019
Igbere TV reports that Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammad Babandede, says the Federal Government has approved that all Africans can enter Nigeria without a visa from January 2020.

Mr Babandede disclosed this at the inauguration of the Africa–Frontex Intelligence Community (AFIC) on Wednesday in Abuja.

“The announcement would be made soon by the President of the Federation.

”But we cannot succeed without a tool like AFIC. This tool is keen if we want to implement an effective free movement across our border.

“The tool is actually coming at the right time. AFIC would help African countries especially Nigeria that want to open its border for all Africans to enter at will. And now that tool is available, it would make the work easier for us,” he said.

Babandede added that it was important to acknowledge the different forces in Nigeria curbing crime and insecurity.

“But our duty is unique and you may not see it as it is in Chad, Benin or Cameroon.

“The essence is that we are very keen and we have been working with EU for a long time. Frontex is in charge of border before they got another responsibility called coast guard which is also very keen to Africa especially checking member state of ECOWAS,” he said.

PoliticsInaugurate NDDC Board Now - Ex-agitators, Niger Delta Youths To President Buhari by Abdulazeez99(op): 11:24am On Dec 10, 2019
Niger Delta Youth Council (NDYC) and few other groups from the Niger Delta have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to issue a direct the Minister of Niger Delta Mr Godswill Akpabio to inaugurate Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) board.

The call was made in Abuja on Monday during a protest led by the NDYC and National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-agitators as well as Ijaw Youth Council (IYC).

The group urged the President not to be deterred by criticisms of the already screened Board of the NDDC saying it was the handiwork of enemies of the region orchestrated by youths outside the region.

They described the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of NDDC as illegal and an attempt to undermine the powers of the President to appoint the Board and also urged the Senate to discountenance the campaign of calumny against the Senate Committee Chairman on Niger Delta Sen. Peter Nwaoboshi.

Addressing journalists during the protest, National Coordinator of NDYC, Engr. Jator Abido, National President, National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators, Eshanekpe Isreal and Mr Henry Iyalla, Spokesperson IYC, Beke Apere of Niger Delta Stakeholders challenged those calling for continuity of the NDDC IMC to publish their names and identities.

“We in Niger-Delta region appreciate President Muhammadu Buhari for his sincerity in addressing the challenges in the region; we are not some paid groups who are not concerned if the Niger Delta is inflamed.



“We are true leaders in the Niger-Delta who have traceable addresses, names and antecedents; the protest on Friday Dec. 6 appeared to be about Sen. Peter Nwaoboshi.

“Without defending or condemning Sen. Nwaoboshi, the issue of inaugurating the screened board of the NDDC has nothing to do with whatever allegation against any Senator.

“This board was appointed by Mr President who found these compatriots worthy and Sen. Nwaoboshi’s committee agreeing with the views of the President cannot constitute any problem except the ones created by makers of this dangerous mischief.

“We stand with the decision of the Nigerian Senate to stand in defense of NDDC act.”

The group further expressed support for the forensic audit of the NDDC, but insisted that obeying the law by inaugurating the board would not obstruct the exercise.

They further urged the Senate not to succumb to cheap blackmail of mischief makers for the disbandment of its committee on Niger Delta.

“The Senate should not under any cheap blackmail criminalize any of its members on the basis of mere allegations.

“Those urging the Senate to dismantle its committee on Niger-Delta based on mere allegations should first advise their sponsors to resign due to the equally enormous allegations against them.

“The refusal to inaugurate the Board which has been screened is a straight call for anarchy and it should be averted.

“We therefore, call for peace in the Niger-Delta and urge the President to inaugurate the Board forthwith.”

PoliticsSowore: Wole Soyinka Centre Postpones Award Presentation To Osinbajo by Abdulazeez99(op): 9:53am On Dec 09, 2019
The Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ) says it has postponed the integrity award to be presented to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to protest against Omoyele Sowore’s rearrest in court.

In a statement on Monday, the centre said honouring Osinbajo with the award in the light of recent protests against Sowore’s travails and the “repression“ of free speech will be inappropriate.

The WSCIJ earlier announced that it would present an ‘integrity specialty of the anti-corruption defender award’ to the vice-president at its annual award ceremony in Lagos.

It had said the recognition is for Osinbajo’s “invaluable work of overhauling the Lagos State Judiciary, facilitating far-reaching reforms in the administration of justice in the state, his work of promoting integrity in the civil society and business in Nigeria and his consistency as a strong voice for promoting integrity in the country”.

But the vice-president has been called out over the current administration’s clamp down on free speech and Sowore’s trial.

Although the activist was finally released after various court orders, he was re-arrested in a dramatic scene on Friday when he returned to court for his trial.

In the statement signed by Motunrayo Alaka, its executive director, WSCIJ said the award ceremony will go on as scheduled, but it was silent on whether the award will be presented to the vice-president on a new date.

The statement read: “The Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism has postponed the presentation of award to the Nigerian Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo. The postponement was decided on, to align with protests against the repression of freedom of speech in recent times especially the incident between the Department of State Security (DSS) and Omoleye Sowore, Publisher of Sahara Reporters, on Friday 6 December. The Vice President himself shares this awareness and the inappropriateness of the award at this point.

“The award presentation programme will hold as scheduled on Monday, 9th December 2019 by 6pm. 13 journalists from print, online, television, radio, photo, and editorial cartoon categories will be celebrated. Veteran photojournalist, Sunmi Smart-Cole and Amnesty International Nigeria will also be presented honorary awards of the Lifetime Award for Journalistic Excellence and the Anti-Corruption Defender Award (Human Rights Specialty) respectively.

“The WSCIJ holds the award presentation event on December 9, the World Anti-Corruption Day and eve of the World Human Rights Day to highlight the importance of investigative reporting as a tool for accountability, good governance and social justice in a democracy. The award event is free to attend for members of the general public.”

PoliticsSowore: NBA Demands Immediate Suspension Of DSS Boss, Yusuf Bichi by Abdulazeez99(op): 10:21am On Dec 07, 2019
The Nigerian Bar Association has demanded the immediate suspension of the Director-General of Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi, over the style used in rearresting Omoyele Sowore in court premises.

Operatives of the DSS had invaded the Federal High Court on Friday, December 6th to arrest Sowore.

The NBA in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kunle Edun, said it was “greatly dismayed at the exhibition of primitivity, thuggery, insane passion for lawlessness, contempt and disrespect for the rule of law by the agents of the DSS”.

The body of lawyers in the country also said that it finds it disgraceful that this 'court riot' occasioned by the high-handedness and insensitivity of the security operatives interrupted judicial proceedings and made the presiding judge to abandon judicial proceedings because of safety concerns.

NBA urged President Buhari to “ensure that the Federal Government and agencies under it obeyed court orders,” as the display of “disrespect of the court by the DSS is legendary and unrivalled”.

The organisation called on all Nigerians to stand up and ensure that no government or any of its agencies disrespected the constitution of the country.

The statement added, “We call for the immediate suspension of the Director-General of the Department of State Security from office.

“We make this demand bearing in mind the fact that the DSS under his leadership had established itself as a brutish and irresponsible agency that derives immense pleasure from violating the fundamental rights of Nigerians and disrespecting court orders.

“The National Assembly should review the laws setting up the DSS and indeed all security agencies in Nigeria with a view to repositioning them to be more responsible and responsive to the public.”

The former governor had been on trial for 12 years before judgement was delivered on Thursday.

Some Nigerians on Twitter say that Kalu was jailed because he is Igbo, adding that Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, who was caught on camera collecting bribe, was spared from the law.

“Accordingly, I have attached for your kind consideration, relevant information from the Honourable Minister of Finance Budget and National Planning, the specific outstanding projects under the 2016 -2018 external borrowing plan for which the legislative approval is been sought.

“I have also directed the minister to make herself available to provide any additional information or clarification which you may require to facilitate prompt approval of the outstanding projects under this plan.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has celebrated former President Goodluck Jonathan on his 62nd birthday.

The party in a tweet on Wednesday prayed for ‘guidance’ as Mr Jonathan continues to “contribute to the stability of democracy” in the country and beyond.

“@GEJonathan At 62: Your Excellency Sir, we thank God for the gift of life, divine wisdom and direction on this special day of your 62nd birthday. We pray for God’s guidance as you continue to contribute to the stability of Democracy in Nigeria and beyond. Congratulations! ���” the tweet read.

PDP lost Bayelsa governorship election held on November 16 to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

David Lyon of the APC won the election after polling 352,552 votes to defeat his closest rival, Duoye Diri of PDP, who scored 143,172 votes.

It is believed that the rift between outgoing Governor Seriake Dickson and Jonathan might have contributed to the loss of the oil-rich state to the ruling party.

Mr Dickson, however, continues to deny allegations of a rift between him and the nation’s former first citizen.

“Jonathan remains my oga and I respect him, but there are lots of efforts by certain interest to create a rift between us, there is no politician that has been there for the former president than me,” Dickson said on Tuesday.

Senator Dino Melaye has said that he would report Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State and several others to the international community and then to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the violence that occurred during the November 16 elections.

Melaye lost his nephew in the violence after gunmen opened fire at his Aiyetoro ward.

The lawmaker said in a tweet on Tuesday that he would take the matter up to the international community, saying the exercise in Kogi was a civil war, not an election.

“What we had in Kogi is no election, what we had was a civil war that has claimed 16 lives so far. I will report Bello, Smart Adeyemi, Taofik, Speaker Kolawole and Sunday Faleke to the international community and then proceed to Hague. This I promise,” he wrote.

Bello was on Monday declared winner of the governorship election while Kogi West senatorial rerun election, which was held simultaneously on November 16, was declared inconclusive.

Melaye, a member of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is being challenged for Kogi West senatorial seat by Smart Adeyemi of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kogi, Natasha Akpoti, has filed a suit against Governor Yahaya Bello, challenging his fitness to contest for the November 16 governorship election.

The case will be heard on Friday, a day to Election Day, before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Akpoti listed the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as 1st and 2nd defendants respectively.

The suit dated October 10 and marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1221/2019, filed by Mike Ozekhome, on Akpoti’s behalf, seeks the court’s determination on the eligibility of Mr Bello in the Saturday election, having allegedly involved in double registration as a voter.

Akpoti said: “That by his wilful act of making double registration as a voter, Yahaya Bello, candidate of the 1st defendant is not a fit and proper person to be allowed by the 2nd defendant to vote or be voted for in the forthcoming Kogi state governorship election, having committed act of electoral fraud.

“That Mr. Yahaya Bello, the candidate of the 1st defendant, was initially registered as a voter sometime in 2011 in Abuja, by the 2nd defendant.

“That Bello, the candidate of the 1st defendant, again fraudulently procured from the 2nd defendant a second registration as a voter on 23rd May 2017 at Government House, Lokoja, while his 2011 first registration as a voter in Abuja was still live, extant and subsisting.

“That the said Yahaya Bello, the candidate of the 1st defendant, carried out the double registration with the 2nd defendant so as to scuttle due electoral process.

“That such a person is not a fit and proper person to vote for in any election, let alone for the high office of the governor of a state.”

Akpoti had on Tuesday raised alarm after she was attacked by thugs suspected to be loyal to Bello at the political stakeholders meeting organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lokoja.

“I’ve just been attacked, pushed to the ground and denied entrance by Yahaya Bello’s @OfficialAPCNg into the Political Stakeholders meeting organized by @inecnigeria in Lokoja. 500 @PoliceNG watched doing nothing. Prof. Mahmood, Comm of Police were in there and did nothing,” she said.

The attack on Akpoti comes less than 48 hours after the state party secretariat was set ablaze by thugs reportedly loyal to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Following the attack, the SDP has refused to sign the Peace Accord.

The Federal High Court, Abuja had on November 7 ordered INEC to restore Akpoti as SDP governorship candidate, saying the commission had no power to disqualify any candidate for an election “as it is the exclusive reserve of a competent court of law.”
