. Yayyyyy. Nigeria is now a very good country with economic prosperity. I love one party system in Nigeria. I love APC. Instead of an Igbo man or any obidunce to rule this country,let all of us perish in hunger and starvation

mrvitalis:
Sure because he was popular then

Tinubu has far far less supporters now than 2023

mrvitalis:
Have u ever lived in the North? ... It's impossible to rig in the North if you are unpopular no matter what

Try it and instant death... No inec official would even take that risk... Ask OBJ

Tinubu is so unpopular in the North today unless that changes he won't get 25%

There are 2 refineries in Port Harcourt, an old refinery and a new refinery.

Work on the old refinery has been completed and trucks are loading products from it.

He is giving an update on when work will be completed on the new refinery.

The old refinery was commissioned in 1965 and the new refinery in 1988.

This Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu stooge is going on a dissolution spree. I can bet you that he doesn't even understand what Local Government Service Commission is all about.

I pity my Edo State. Babanebaba, lahor wowo. Literally, God abeg! 🙏🙏

All of a sudden Video evidence becomes immaterial..

Something that have been a very vital aspect of court proceedings for decades all across the world.

Make una continue...

..it's true only where Tinubu can win is through buying of votes and rigging..but cannot win free and fair election

VinnyBaba:
See this one.

who is Tinibu? A Small Fry like him

You Agbad0rians should stop overrating your Lord.

He FAILED woefully in Lagos state, Osun state, Rivers State and almost all the states that mattered.
It was Yobe, Zamfara Sokoto, etc and Yakubu Mahmud Wuruwuru that saved him.

If a Obi vs Tinibu or Atiku vs Tinibu Election should be contested in Aso rock or inside Bourdillion,
Tinibu will be THRASHED.

wealthyprince:
I heard they swore affidavit. If that happens...is a strong document in law.

Eriokanmi:
Tell them. Atiku should step down and pave the way for Obi/Elrufai or Obi/Kwakwanso. Obi pools much more weight than anyone in the country as we speak. Na ogboju tinubu take snatch am from obi with the connivance with inec. They left atiku's votes jejelly. Yakwubu would have backed off, had they told him to also touch atiku's votes. Fulanis no dey betray each other.

1. That is where everyone is missing the point.
The import from the constitution is that you automatically lose your seat as soon as you leave the party that sponsored you to the assembly,,
Not that you must have defected to another party.
If you like leave your party and remain in your parlour, you lose your seat.
So the point here is NOT NOT NOT to prove that they are members of APC but to prove that they left PDP.

2. Proving that a person has left his political party that gave him the platform to go to an assembly is done verbally. Their video submissions and their declaration on the hallowed chambers of the Rivers Assembly during their legal and constitutional sitting is more than enough to nail them, except of course the judge is biased.
You ought to know that any action taken at the house under the hitting of the gavel is law and evidential.

3. Like I said; whether they joined APC is immaterial, what matters is that they left PDP.

4. And for their sworn affidavits, everything is contained in the CTC of the judgement delivered by James Omotosho Justice and it is available to all parties.
How you think the court can deny receiving their affidavit is hilarious, funnier that Basket mouth jokes!

Lol.

dalongjnr:
We can believe inec if they,make electoral processes open and transparent.
The secrecy in electoral processes is alarming.
That gives room for rigging and biases.

oshorstan:
it is nice to see DR. CHRISTOPHER EIGBE AS CMD OF EDO SPECIALIST.
HE IS A GOOD MAN.

exe0:
No he is not

The zoning formula is simple [base on population] Edo south then Edo north/Central then back to Edo South

After two tenures, the next governor will come from Edo South

I speak as one who lives in Benin and have followed Edo Politics from when Ize-iyamu was SSG

gbengene1234:
E get election wey dem no dey snatch for Naija?

gbengene1234:
They just want to destroy Obaseki political relevance since the election was snatched. They need to cook some lies to vindicate themselves
Oshiomole should just let bygone be bygone. Apc don reclaim Edo, what else does he want?

Gov Okpebholo restores full statutory rights to Oba of Benin

In a bid to further right the wrongs of the immediate-past administration and foster cordial relations between the Government and the people, the Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo has restored the full statutory rights of the Benin Monarch over the contentious issue of the ownership of ancient artefacts looted from the palace of the Oba of Benin during the 1897 Benin Massacre by the British colonial forces.

Also, the State Government is withdrawing the letter revoking the concession of the Oba Akenzua II Cultural Centre issued by the last administration to be used as a motor park.

“This administration is restoring the centre to a suitable condition for its original purpose.

“This administration also hereby abolishes the new traditional councils in Edo South, created by the last administration.”

Accordingly, Governor Okpebholo has restored the statutory financial entitlements of the Benin Traditional Council (BTC) and has ordered that the status quo before the creation of the now abolished councils be maintained.

The Okpebholo administration is backing the initial plan of the State Government to build the Benin Royal Museum that will house the returned artefacts and is distancing itself from the Museum of West Africa Art (MOWA) which the previous administration fronted as the museum to hold the returned Benin artefacts.

The Federal Government has also issued a Gazette for the recognition of ownership and custody of the repatriated Benin artefacts to Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II. This was done through a Government Notice No.25 in the Federal Republic of Nigeria Official Gazette No.57, Volume 110.

“Governor Okpebholo respects the rights and privileges of the traditional ruler of Benin Kingdom, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Oba Ewuare ll and pledges the support of his administration to ensure the Monarch plays his role as the custodian of the rich cultural heritage of the Benin people.

“It is in recognition of this that the administration of Governor Okpebholo shall support the decision of the Federal Government to uphold the Oba of Benin as the exclusive owner of the returned Benin artifacts that were looted by the British Colonial forces during the Benin masaca of 1897.

“The Oba of Benin, as the father of all Benin people, is the sole custodian of the customs and traditions of the Benin people and my administration respects customs and traditions in the land and hereby restores the statutory rights of the Oba of Benin as the true custodian of the returned Benin artefacts.”

Governor Okpebholo said his administration is committed and will refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of the Benin Traditional Council.

“The Governor is using his constitutional powers and the respect for traditional institutions and the revered Oba of Benin to restore all other Statutory Rights of the Monarch not mentioned hereof.”

Outside South West based on your normal tribalism.. Name one other zone Tinubu can beat Jonathan I dare you

Angelfrost:
Decline, agreed... But, losing 5 games in a row is a bit much, don't you think?!!!

It's looking deliberate.

City still has one of the best squads in Epl and Europe.

Angelfrost:
My thoughts too...! It's highly suspicious.

IfnobeGod20:
You said representation is ceremonial? Representation is not ceremonial because you elect constitutionally for purposes. You don't elect someone to be an effigy or dende in Yoruba film.
You even buttressed my opinion by your comment line for saying he can choose his aides to stand for him. This is the singular reason why governance and business fail in Nigeria. This your statement just reminds me what happened during Buhari's regime when he told IGP to move to Benue State at the heat of herdsmen attacks on the state. When Journalist told Buhari that he told the IGP to move to Benue State but he never went there. Buhari said he never knew he didn't go. This is the singular reason we are not having administrator on top of their job because they rely on their aides to do the job in many critical issue.
I can remember during the electioneering period, Buhari said on the issue of security he will lead from the front. I know the news will still be ready available on net but did he do that?
There are certain security and economy issues that the leader elected must lead from the front and not delegate them. My brother, they will sabotage his effort and he would not succeed, even by Nigerian factor alone.
No doubt leaders that have excelled in both private and public life, always have more edge in administration but as a leader you must always be a leader and must lead from the front. Leaders are to lead and not to fold hands.

Throwback:
Very professional journalist on Channels' Sunrise programme with Maupe Ogun and the other dark skinned guy (Chamberlain Usoh) .

Who ever told Nigerians FDI is good for development in developing economy is wicked

99% of FDI would hurt a developing economy because they shrink the economy over time... Weaken local currency and barely enrich the people

Only FDI with focus on export should be allowed

Supporting APC is one of my biggest regret in life

Babinski:
Lottery of gaming is neither on the Exclusive nor Concurrent List. So it automatically falls under Residual List which according to the Nigerian Constitution, comes under the legislation of State Governments. There is no confusion on the judgement except for intellectual laziness and questionable intentions by anyone trying to discredit the Judiciary on the issue.

All the supporters of corruption seeking to kill EFCC and ICPC should go hide their faces in shame.
