Today was indeed a really bad day for Mr Oyetola's lawyers at the Tribunal as they were jolted and thrown off balance with the submissions and erudition of Counsel to the PDP and Senator Ademola Adeleke.

The nullification judgement of the Federal High Court Abuja was hung effectively on Oyetola's neck and his team were visibly shaken when top SANs assembled by the Respondents stormed the hearing with decades of experience and invoked their expertise in electoral matters. During the proceedings, even PDP took pity on the lead counsel to Oyetola lawyer who was totally disoriented during the legal firestorm.

It was so bad that at a point the Governor's lawyers lost grasp of procedural processes until legal luminary, Sir Alex Iziyon, came to their aid, tutoring them on stages and steps in procedural handling.

It all started when the Tribunal resumed hearing and the PDP/Adeleke team called attention to the many applications before the court waiting for action and which on their own may also be dragged up to the Supreme Court.

Sir Iziyon, SAN, had sought the leave of the Tribunal to move an oral application calling the attention of the Tribunal to the Abuja Federal High Court judgment which nullified the candidature of Mr Oyetola at the July 16 elections. The SAN had submitted that that judgement is very critical amd may supersede all current applications before the Tribunal because it has swept off the whole essence of the existence of the Tribunal as far as Oyetola's petition is concerned.

Sensing the trend of the presentation, the jolted counsel of Oyetola quickly raised the need for the application to be filed instead of oral, even though Sir Iziyon was ready to move the motion orally.

The defence push created real time disruption for the petitioner's counsel especially as Oyetola has no proof of appeal against the judgement. He also does not have any document to prove stay of execution of the very devastating judgement.

The Tribunal had to concede to the need for the defence to file the application which the defence team is to do tomorrow. The certified true copy of the nullification judgement is to be filed by the defence to validate a reality that there is no petition before the lord justices.

Meanwhile the Respondents have filed separate preliminary objections praying for a striking out or dismissal of the petition for incompetence. The Tribunal later adjourned till 13th October, 2022 for continuation of Pre-Hearing.

Am sorry to say this, even as an unrepentant, unswayed, unbothered APC supporter.
Oyetola is a goner. Man is fighting so many battles.

Firstly, he is appealling the nulification of his candidacy as APC gubernatorial candidate.

Then he is also appealling the declaration of PDP candidate as elected governor.

But can he also force the people of Osun state to love him? They never really wanted him.
If election is be contested 57 times, it is obvious he will lose 56 and half times

So why stressing himself?

The state secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Enugu chapter has reportedly been taken over by the Labour Party (LP) in the state.
According to a report by Daily Post, the APC in the state has been battling various crises.

Things have been on edge following the emergence of Barr. Ugochukwu Agballah as the State chairman.

Some weeks back, a delegation of prominent party stakeholders visited the secretariat and demanded the constitution of a caretaker committee.

However, Agballah refused to comply with the demands of the delegation including the Foreign Affairs Minister, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama and a former Senate President, Senator Ken Nnamani.

After assuming his position as the state chairman, Agballa has been operating from the South-East zonal office of the party.

Not long ago, the owner of the building housing the APC’s State Secretariat, located at No 126 Park Avenue, GRA Enugu, dragged the party to court over rent issues.

LP has now unveiled the same building as its State Secretariat.

Deputy Governor Of Lagos State Sends Stern Warning To Obi Supporters
The Deputy Governor of Lagos state, Obafemi Hazmat has sent a stern warning to the supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Hazmat in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Tunde Alao, warned Obidients to desist from using his son for cheap publicity.

Naija News reports that a purported picture of Hamzat’s son at an Obidient rally went viral on the Nigerian internet space.

However, Hazmat said that the boy in question is not his son and they are not in any way related.

Alao insisted that the picture was an attempt to soil the image of the deputy governor and cause friction between him and his supporters.

PDP.... APC would make 2015 and 2019 look like child's play when we finish PDP

Validated:
There are strong indications that baring aby last minute changes, the APC may have to substitute her presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Inspite of assurances from Tunubu's immediate family and close allies, the reality is that the Jagaban Borgu is down and may not be available for the 2023 campaign soon.

All the Videos of Tinubu purportedly riding stationary bicycle have been proven to be old vidoes.

On September 28, 2022, all the registered political parties and their candidates commenced presidential and National Assembly campaigns across the thirty-six States of the Nigeria federation.

This is in line with the time table released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), ahead of the general elections in 2023.

Recall that the INEC had stated that campaign for presidential and National Assembly elections will commence on September 28, 2022, while that of governorship and State Houses of Assembly will commence on October 12, 2022.

Already, the INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, on Thursday, promised to monitor political parties’ campaigns and expenses for the 2023 general elections to ensure compliance with the laws.

He was speaking at the signing of the peace accord for a peaceful campaign organized by the National Peace Committee (NPC) in Abuja.

Yakubu said this was to ensure that parties shunned abusive language and comply with spending limits for elections.

Yakubu explained that the Electoral Act, 2022, as amended, provided for campaigns in public by political parties to commence not earlier than 150 days before polling day of which that of national elections had officially commenced Sept. 28.

He stated that, “the implication is that for the next 148 days, political parties, candidates and their supporters are free to traverse the country holding meetings, rallies, processions and door-to-door campaigns.

“They will grant interviews, sponsor indoor and outdoor advertisements and publish other campaign materials. This is often a delicate period characterized by excitement and anxiety.

“In line with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 and in our determination to play our role as a regulator, the Commission will vigorously monitor compliance.

“To ensure that parties shun abusive, intemperate or slanderous language as well as insinuations or innuendoes likely to provoke a breach of the peace during the electioneering campaigns”.

The commission fixed 23rd February, 2023, for Presidential and National Assembly elections, while that of Gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly elections would come up March 11, 2022.

In Abia State, especially Umuahia, the capital city, and Aba which is the commercial nerve centre of the State, political activities are already taking shape as part of the preparation for formal kick-off of electioneering campaigns by candidates of major dominant political parties, such as, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Labour Party (LP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Young Peoples Party (YPP).

DAILY POST reports that it is no longer business as usual in Abia, with the Labour Party now a strong force nationwide. Until now, the PDP dominated the political space; in fact Abia was a one party State. But all that has changed. The 2023 general election is going to be a defining moment, with the fear of LP’s ‘Obidients’ gripping major politicians in the State.

A visit to Abia secretariat of the PDP, APC and LP by DAILY POST, weekend, showed that activities are already on top gear, as State officials of these political parties were seen formalizing arrangement for the official commencement of their electioneering campaigns, most importantly, the governorship campaigns.

In an interview on Tuesday, an ex-member of the house of representatives and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Hon Nze Chiekwe Esiaga reiterated the resolve and readiness of the party to secure victory in all levels of political leadership positions in the coming 2023 general elections in Abia State.

Election campaigns have commenced and banters will ensue no doubt. But i ask why will this platform encourage fake and regurgitation of FAKE News and past events as Present?

Why will a Video of 2013 be sent to Frontpage...when its obvious it was taken in 2013??

Seun, Understand that as events unfold, the political space in Nigeria, as at now, is charged...and people are very conversant of events as they unfold. I ask a question: why will this Video of 2013..be repackaged as a current event and sent to frontpage?

I am not a MOD and i cant send Videos to Frontpage. Why will this outdated news, be rebranded and sent to Front page??
