This one is very clear. Over voting in Kogi Central. Check out all the results from Kogi Central.

Usman Ododo, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi state, has won the polling unit of Yahaya Bello, the incumbent governor of the state.

According to the result at polling unit 11, Agassa, Okene LGA, Kogi, Ododo scored 840 votes while his close challengers — Murtala Ajaka, candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and Dino Melaye of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) — did not have any vote.

While casting his vote at the unit earlier in the day, the governor said Ododo would coast to victory in the election.

Bello commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the conduct of the election.


He also praised security operatives for offering residents of Kogi a peaceful environment to participate in the election.

“I am optimistic that our candidate, Usman Ododo, will emerge victorious at the end of the exercise,” NAN quoted Bello as saying.

“We have come out in numbers to cast our votes. I have just cast my vote and others are casting their votes. It is timely. All materials were deployed within the time stipulated.


“So far I haven’t heard of complaints from any quarter. The conduct of INEC so far has been so fantastic. All the security agencies have conducted themselves so far very professionally.

“Citizens that are exercising their franchise are doing that freely. There are no hitches; no rancour.

Ododo had also expressed satisfaction with the conduct of security operatives and commended them for ensuring that things were smooth and peaceful.

“While I express confidence at winning this election, I thank the Kogi people for turning out en-masse to vote in the crucial exercise,’’ he said.

Votes buying was taking to next level in Bayelsa state today. The minimum price per vote is 10k and some strategic areas 12k. Power pass Power, highest spender will carry the day.

Floky215:
Same template they used in 2019 in that state coupled with direct attack on voters with helicopter...!!

But this time is different and they are finding things difficult as I learnt....!!

All the pre-written result won't male it to inec irev the way it is now..!!

They don't even care about bvas again....!! Bello is really desperate, no senator and now loosing the governor seat...he would only be remembered in the dustbin of history...!!

He made a big mistake talking any how during the Presidential primary cos he thought he got the delegate backing after paying and fake list delivered to him...!!

dinachi:
. Thats why he will lose woefully!

dinachi:
Messiah of who?

Some of una needs to have your heads checked!

Let me lay it out for you.

He is the worst candidate in the elections( Murtala Ajaka)

1. He is a stark illiterate( He is using a forged certificate to run)

2. He used to be the gateman at ACN office in Abuja. He was arrested for stealing one of the buses parked there and detained for a long time. It took special intervention to release him.

3. His party SDP has no structure in Kogi State.

4. He is just cashing in on tribal sentiments to advance his cause but he will fail woefully in the elections today. Watch and see.

The Labour Party (LP) House of Representatives member representing Eti Osa Federal Constituency in Lagos State, Attah Thaddeus has been reinstated as the winner of the Eti-Osa Federal Constitiency Election by the Appeal Court sitting in Lagos.

This is coming after a series of legal battles stemming from the February 25, 2023 election.
Substantiating this judgment in his verified Twitter handle of Hon Babajide Obanikoro, he said “I would like to congratulate Representative Jude Thaddeus Attah on his victory at the appeal court today.
“Let’s throw our support for him so that he would give us a good representation for the next four years in Eti-Osa.”
In the same vein, Gubernatorial Candidate of the Labour Party in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour said ” Some people said this win was fake news.
“Fortunately, the appeal court ruled in our favour against the APC Petitioner today as well.
“Congratulations again, @NgLabour
#ourlagos”
It would be recalled that Lagos State National and State House of Assembly Election Petition tribunal, located in Ikeja, Lagos State, annulled Attah’s election in August.
The court’s ruling mandated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a supplementary election within 90 days in the 32 polling units of Eti-Osa.

Furthermore, it ordered the withdrawal of the return certificate previously issued to Attah and called for new elections in areas where voting did not occur on February 25.
Dissatisfied with the tribunal’s decision, Attah pursued the matter in the Court of Appeal, ultimately succeeding in reclaiming his mandate. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State, announced Attah’s triumphant return to the House of Representatives.

In the February 25 election, Attah had initially contested against notable opponents, including the musician Banky W of the PDP and Babajide Obanikoro of the APC.
Attah emerged as the winner with 24,075 votes, with Banky W securing the second position with 18,666 votes, and Obanikoro coming in third with 16,901 votes.

Toluige Olokoobi, the mother to Oreofeoluwa Lawal-Babalola, the little boy who inspired the viral “mummy be calming down” video, has committed suicide.

In 2020, Oreofeoluwa became an instant sensation on social media platforms after a video went viral of him in tears from his mum’s scolding while confidently telling her to “calm down” and give him a “last chance”.

The footage also inspired Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos governor’s Eid-el-Kabir message to Muslim faithfuls and inhabitants of the state wherein he urged them to maintain calm amid the COVID-19 crisis.

The boy alongside his family thereafter met with the governor, who commended his courage and composure.

Oreofeoluwa was featured in several interviews with media houses. He also said he wants to be a police officer to help fight corruption in Nigeria

But on Tuesday, an X user disclosed that Toluige committed suicide in Benin due to unknown reasons.

The X user, who said he was at the scene of the incident on Monday afternoon, added that Toluige had refused to share her problems with anyone before taking her own life.

“The woman in the viral Mummy Calm down video has just committed suicide here in Benin,” he wrote.

“She refused to speak to anyone about her problems. She left three kids for her husband including the popular Mummy Calm Down boy.”

POLICE CONFIRMS TOLUIGE’S DEATH, HUSBAND DETAINED

Confirming Toluige’s demise in a chat with BBC Pidgin, Chidi Nwabuzor, the spokesperson of the Edo state police command, said her husband has been arrested and detained for questioning.

Nwabuzor said the husband reported the matter to the police.

The police spokesperson quoted the husband to have said that “he came home from the market when he saw his wife hanging with rope on her neck”.

Nwabuzor said she was rushed to the hospital and then to the mortuary after she was confirmed dead

Or for the umbilical cord to be buried alongside the nylon (wraps). Where such happens, there are serious implications. I would have said it but we have a lot of 'woke' generation here and me I don't like to be misquoted because I get hot temper.
