ZombieNation:
This is what Chavez did in Venezuela.

NNPC that can not manage a refinery or even to import fuel is who this goat wants to hand the highly intricate and efficiency driven oil drilling operation.

Once they loot all the money for drilling, let me see where they will get money to maintain operations.

Did you read the memo? Has Shell been able to successfuly operate the Ogoni oil wells??

In Plateau State, INEC said that it would conduct a run-off in Langtang South Constituency after a winner could not emerge during last Saturday’s poll.

But the commission said the APC won in 15 constituencies, while the PDP secured eight seats.

It was observed that the winner for the Langtang South Constituency was not included in the list released by INEC.

When contacted, INEC Head of Voter Education in the state, Mr Osaretin Imahiyereobo, explained that there were problems with the results for the Lantang South.

He added that the commission would conduct a run-off in the Langtang South.

The INEC official also disclosed that a bye-election would soon be conducted to replace the winner for Pengana Constituency in Bassa Council Area of the state, Mr Ezekiel Afou, who died shortly after he was declared winner of last Saturday’s poll on the platform of the APC.

APC wins 39 out of 40 seats in Lagos Assembly

The APC won 39 seats in the Lagos State House of Assembly in the election that was held on Saturday.

The election in the Ibeju I Constituency was, however, declared inconclusive by INEC.

The Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa and Oluyinka Ogundimu won their re-election in Agege I and Agege II respectively on the platform of the APC.

Lukman Olumoh and Fatai Oluwa won in Ajeromi-Ifelodun I and II respectively, while Adebisi Yusuf and Joseph Kehinde won in Alimosho I and II.

Other APC members who won their constituencies elections are Mojisola Alli (Amuwo-Odofin 1); Rauf Age-Suleman (Amuwo-Odofin II); Lasbat Maranda (Apapa I); Wahab Olumuyiwa (Apapa II); Ibrahim Layode (Badagry I); David Setonji (Badagry II); Bolanle Agunbiade (Ikorodu I) and Nurudeen Solaja (Ikorodu II).

NEC to conduct runoff in three Bayelsa constituencies

Meanwhile, INEC on Tuesday said that it would conduct a run-off in the three constituencies in Bayelsa State, where elections were declared inconclusive.

INEC Head of Department, Voter Education and Publicity, Mr Wilfred Ifogah, who announced this in Yenagoa, listed the constituencies as Ogbia Constituency 11, Brass 1 and Southern-Ijaw IV.

Out of the 24 seats in the Bayelsa House of Assembly, results of 21 have been declared; with the PDP winning 17, while the APC claimed four.

Ifogah explained that the reason for declaring result of three constituencies inconclusive was due to failure to follow INEC’s guidelines for the conduct of the 2019 general elections.

He said that the commission would inform stakeholders of the new date to conduct the election.

In a related development, the people of Basambiri, in Nembe Local Government Area have debunked a statement credited to the Bayelsa State Government that elections did not take place in the community.

Speaking to newsmen who went to monitor the election on Saturday, the Youth President of the community, Iruo Theo, the woman leader of the APC, Emmanuel Favour and Chief Agent Belele, said the election went on smoothly in the area.

Belele, who is the Deputy Chief of the community, said those who did not come for the elections on Saturday were those that had their hands soiled in the killing of an APC member during the presidential election.

He said contrary to the claims by the PDP members that the APC sympathisers chased them away from the community, he said it was the PDP thugs that killed an APC member.

The only state APC can rig is Sokoto where the margin is very small and APC actually has a chance to win.

Overall, this was a very good outing for PDP. Relative to 2015, they only lost 1 state amd will gain 5-6 states.

In Bauchi cancelled polling units has 180,000 registered voters.

Margin of win as of now in Bauchi is just 4,000 plus.

The person must have 25% of the votes in 2/3 local governments in the state, Which is 18 LGAs in Imo state.

NB

Mad man Ganduje messed this one up for APC.

The person that did that video released it strategically when he could no longer be replaced by the APC.

Any attempt to force him out as at that time would have fatally affected Buhari's chances.

Buhari was just lucky he didn't allow Saraki and his gang to change the order of elections, otherwise, he would have been history now.

Give Ajimobi appointment ke? That would be a fatal error.

The ministerial appointment should be given to Adelabu for him to show us his worth. That Ajimobi with his arrogance and uncouth utterances deserve nothing but political oblivion.

Election loss at a particular time, is just a temporary set back as we have witnessed since 1999. Kudos to Adelabu for his efforts.
