Not only that, I see a situation where churches like RCCG and many other southern churches will completely pack up in the North.

Obi (the only Christian and most qualified candidate in terms of power rotation and credibility) losing this election will shake Christianity in Nigeria.


Trust me, I have many Northern Christians as friends. And right now, they see Southern Christians (especially those from the WEST) as extreme bigots.

After seeing the results from Ekiti and a few ward results from Ondo, one of them just called to express his anger. He is from Kaduna and he's asking why Obi couldn't even win one ward in a supposed Southern states? This is a well bred Hausa man who delivered his polling unit to an Igbo man in KD.

renderme:
Lol. Exactly what i said in the other post.

Obi came from PDP and hijacked the party, sidelined people they were meant to be collaborating with, gave friends and family dt know nothing about elections leadership positions. Now one of the friends and family, Dayo Ekong, is disturbing us about cancelling election 48hrs to election. She is even accusing lagos state REC of removing labour logo from ballot paper. Olodo. These are the disorganized people dt want to manage 200million people.

Your silly disorganized party didnt submit names before deadline, therefore ur not on the ballot. The end.

Eight former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) State House of Assembly aspirants have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

A statement issued in Gusau on Tuesday by the state APC Publicity Secretary, Yusuf Idris said the former aspirants announced their defection at a meeting with Gov. Bello Matawalle on Tuesday in Gusau.

Idris said all of them had participated in various PDP state assembly primary elections in their respective constituencies across the state.

According to him, the defectors included: Kasimu Jafaru from Zurmi west constituency, Rukkayya Abdullahi from Zurmi east constituency, Isah Ibrahim-Labbo from Anka constituency and Abubakar Abdulaziz, from Tsafe east constituency.

The other defectors were: Bala Ibrahim and Jamilu Bawa from Birnin Magaji state assembly constituencies, Ibrahim Surajo from Zurmi west and the leader of the defecting team, Murtala Mainasara from Shinkafi constituency.

He said the defectors, who were presented to the governor by the state APC Chairman, Alhaji Tukur Danfulani, submitted all their PDP certificates of clearance to the governor.

“Our decision to join APC was due to a lack of political focus and direction in the PDP.

“Our defection to the APC was informed by the focused and visionary leadership style of governor Matawalle in tackling insecurity and bringing economic transformation,” Idris quoted Mainasara as saying.

Idris also quoted Matawalle as saying while receiving the defectors that APC was a party for all reasonable and patriotic Nigerians focusing on development.

“The governor commended them for what he described as a wise decision of joining the APC.

“Matawalle said he is not surprised over their decision considering their level of exposure and determination to bring development to the doorsteps of the electorate,” Idris said.

Earlier, while presenting the defectors to the governor, Danfulani said: ‘Ín the next few days, more PDP supporters would join APC.”

This job requires physical and mental energy. People should retire when it is time to retire. Nigerians are hungry, the youths have no job, and it is not safe to travel anywhere in Nigeria today; all these challenges were caused by those who say they have a party structure, but these structures have crippled Nigeria. We want to destroy these structures by voting them out next month.

- An official disclosed that a PDP Women Leader was among those who decamped.

About 1,500 supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rimi and Kurfi Local Government Areas of Katsina State.

Those who decamped were led by a former councilor, Abdul’aziz Makwalla.

Makwalla while presenting the individuals to the APC officials in the state, disclosed that, the PDP Women Leader in the Area, had also crossed-carpeted into the APC.

This political development took place on Thursday as the Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress APC in Katsina State, Dr Dikko Umaru Radda rounded off his campaign tour in Katsina Senatorial District at Rimi and Kurfi Local Government Areas of the State.

Radda seized the moment to reiterate his determination to fight insecurity in the state if elected as governor.

He, also, promised to create job opportunities for the teeming unemployed youths, enhance health care facilities and improve farming using modern methods.

Dr Radda further donated five motorcycles to members of the vigilante in Rimi Local Government Area and three to the Wurma Community Vigilantes in Kurfi Local Government Area of the State, stating that, it was his modest contribution towards assisting them to fight insecurity in the areas.

“I know that some shameless people would come and tell you that APC had failed to provide security for you. You should respond by asking them to account for the large amount of money made available to them in more than seven years to tame insecurity without success”, Dr Radda warned Kurfi residents.

Radda in turn, received a gift of the Holy Qur’an and a ram from the Fardami Ward residents and a horse donated by the Village Head of Kaɗanɗani, in Rimi Local Government Area.

Lagos light rail from Marina to Mile two is yet to be completed. Why were they making noise over an uncompleted project?

The coach never got to Marina, because the light train has not being completed and it wont be completed this year or even any time soon.

I was in Lagos Island, marina yesterday, then at Ijora Olopa where l saw only 3 coaches. The light train has not been completed, if you truly live in Lagos, go there and prove me wrong.

A stastician and forensic examiner, Samuel Oduntan has ,again, told the Osun State Election Petition Tribunal that there was over-voting in the governorship election that brought in Governor Ademola Adeleke in some of the polling units he examined.


This is just as another witness, Reverend Samuel Bunmi Jenyo, who claimed to be a Personal Assistant to Governor Adeleke said, the number of days between the date Adeleke obtained his Diploma Certificate in Penn Foster High School on 16th July, 2021 and Graduation from Atlanta Metropolitan College on 9th of August 2021 where he obtained his first degree was only 24 days.

The witnesses testified before the Justice Tertsea Kume-led tribunal at the resumed hearing of the petition filed by Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the declaration of Ademola Adeleke as the governor of the state.


Oduntan, while giving evidence in defence of Adeleke’s declaration said he was paid by Adeleke to extract information through physical inspection of BVAS machines used for the election and compared it with the form EC8 series where he discovered that over-voting occurred in some polling units, particularly six units in Ede South.

The witness told the panel that in Ward 4 unit 7, of Ede South, the accreditation figure he mentioned in his witness statement was 313, while the accreditation on the BVAS report was 383, which showed over-voting.


Effort of the Adeleke’s counsel, Onyeachi Ikpeazu SAN to prevent the witness from making comparison on the BVAS report and the result announced to show over-voting was overruled by the tribunal following the arguments of the petitioners’ counsel, Akin Olujinmi SAN that there was no law preventing him from cross-examining the witness.

He said though, he did not work as INEC official on the election day, but carried out physical inspection of the BVAS machines where he carried out his analysis.


Also in his evidence, Reverend Jenyo, appeared before the tribunal and tendered Adeleke’s certificates, bearing Penn Foster High School and Atlanta Metropolitan State College.

Claiming that part of his responsibility as Adeleke’s P.A was to keep his personal documents, he said he has never worked in any of the institutions purported to have been attended by the governor.

He added that though his International Passport does not show he attended Adeleke’s graduation in US, he claimed that he attended the graduation ceremony.


After the cross examination of the two witnesses, the Adeleke’s counsel closed his case.

Subsequently, counsel for PDP, Alex Izinyon SAN also opened his case and told the panel that he would not be calling any witness but would be relying on the evidence of the two other respondents.

He then tendered some documents and closed his case.

The tribunal then adjourned till January 13, 2023 for the parties in the matter to adopt their final written addresses, as the respondents were granted nine days to file written addresses, petitioners to file addresses within seven days and respondents to file reply on point of law within three days respectively.
