Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in the Anambra election, Dr. George Moghalu, has rejected the result of the November 8, 2025 poll in which incumbent Governor Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu was the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking to journalists in his Nnewi office on Sunday, less than six hours after the official declaration of results, Dr. Moghalu said he was dissatisfied with the conduct of the election and alleged that several irregularities occurred during the process.

He claimed that the exercise was marred by what he described as widespread vote buying and reports of underage voting in some areas.


“The November 8, 2025 governorship election in Anambra State, in my view, fell short of expectations. I hereby reject it in its entirety,” he said. “I have contested in previous elections, but this one was different. The level of vote buying was alarming.”

Dr. Moghalu further alleged that minors were seen in possession of voter cards and that some were allowed to vote.

“Children who were not supposed to be carrying voter cards were openly seen with them and allowed to vote,” he claimed. “These are issues that raise questions about the integrity of the process.”

He also said he received reports from his team that in some polling units the LP name appeared on the ballot paper without the party’s logo, making it difficult for voters to identify the party’s position on the ballot.

Moghalu stressed that he would make a more detailed statement after receiving a comprehensive report from his agents across the state.

“Once I get the full report of the election, we will analyse it and then determine our next course of action. But one thing is clear: I reject the result,” he said.

When asked whether he planned to challenge the outcome in court, he declined to give a definitive answer, saying it would be premature to make that decision without reviewing all reports.

Responding to claims that some LP agents were not present at certain polling units, he said some may have left out of frustration over situations they observed during voting.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged President Bola Tinubu to act swiftly, wisely, and diplomatically in addressing the growing concerns about the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Speaking during November Holy Ghost Service at the Redemption City camp ground, Adeboye said that the government must adopt a balanced and strategic approach to the security challenges confronting the nation.

“If I am asked to make suggestions, I will say quietly to the governments to move wisely, diplomatically,” he said. “I have cousins. There were times in Nigeria when Christians and Muslims were living together. I have families that are Muslims till date. When I was little, I ate sari with them, and I still eat my breakfast, but the issue of religion started when politics came into religion.”

Adeboye explained that he had previously advised past presidents privately on security and religious matters but emphasised that such efforts were limited since only the Commander-in-Chief has the power to take decisive action.

“All the presidents who were around when this trouble started, whatever I discussed is top privacy. I have done my best behind the scene, but as I have always told you, you can only advise a Commander-in-Chief; you cannot command him. But I have tried. God is my witness.”

The cleric then outlined what he would do if given the opportunity to advise the government again.

“What should we do now? If I was asked to make suggestions, I will say quietly to our government: move fast, move diplomatically, move wisely. Find a way to convince the President of America to please delay his actions for about 100 days, and then come home and tell our security chiefs to get rid of these terrorists within 90 days or resign.”

He recalled a similar directive issued by former President Muhammadu Buhari, which he said was not effectively followed through.

“There was a President, Buhari, who issued such an order. He called the service chiefs together and said, ‘Get rid of these Boko Haram people or resign.’ He ran with that advice but he did not follow through because he gave the order as the Commander, but he did not follow up. The work was not done after three months, so I went to see him. I asked him, ‘Why did you not proceed with your threat?’ One thing came out of the meeting which will lead me to the advice.”

Adeboye further advised that any new order from President Tinubu to the military should go beyond fighting insurgents to targeting their financiers and backers.

“When giving orders to the service chiefs this time around, he should make it clear to them they are not only to eliminate the terrorists but also eliminate the sponsors, no matter how influential they may be.”

He also cautioned that Nigeria should tread carefully in its diplomatic dealings with global powers, warning that no foreign nation would come to its rescue if conflict escalates.

“When I say our leaders should move diplomatically, we must take note of the fact that if America should attack us, China is not coming to defend us. Likewise Russia and Britain. All the so-called world leaders, they will talk and condemn what America has done, but they won’t help us.”

Adeboye emphasised that the moment called for action rather than debate or excuses.

“This is not the time to joke. This is not the time for grammar, not time to argue, is it suicide or kidnap? This is not the time to say it’s not Christians alone, Muslims are also involved. Innocent people are dying.”


The cleric said he was nearly moved to respond publicly after hearing a recent speech by President Tinubu, whom he referred to as his in-law, particularly the portion that painted a positive picture of the security situation in the country.

“I almost spoke last month when I heard the speech of my in-law (Tinubu), particularly that section that spoke about security. I heard him saying, all is well now, that displaced people have returned to their villages. I almost said the one who wrote that speech does not like him. Somebody wrote it, but it was the President who read it. There are several people around Tinubu who are not telling him the truth. The following day we read that a traditional ruler was killed in Kwara or Kogi.”

Adeboye stressed that the current administration inherited a longstanding crisis but must now focus on concrete solutions.

“Our President inherited this problem. I am an applied mathematician; I am only interested in getting the problem solved.”

He restated his earlier call for diplomacy with the United States, suggesting that the Nigerian government should engage with U.S. President Donald Trump for a temporary reprieve while demanding accountability from security chiefs.

“Let the government use diplomatic methods to convince Trump to give us 100 days of grace to call our service chiefs to perform within three months or resign. Now, where do you come in?”

Adeboye concluded on a note of hope, reminding his congregation of God’s promise of peace despite turbulent times.

“I shared with you, my children, that God said this will be a remarkable year, that the wind blowing last year will be more violent this year. Any time we have meetings like this, God picks the topic. By this time next week, we will be having the Holy Ghost service in Abuja. He gave us the theme, ‘Fear not,’ that months ago before Trump spoke. One way or the other, there will be peace again in Nigeria.”

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has described President Donald Trump’s Christian genocide claims and threat of military action as an embarrassment to the country, blaming the Nigerian government’s inability to tackle insecurity. 

Falana, who spoke on Wednesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, cited the government’s inability to tackle crimes like kidnapping for ransom, among others. 

“Why have we brought this embarrassment to ourselves as a people that we are being treated as a neocolony of the United States of America?” the senior lawyer asked. 

“We cannot even challenge Mr Trump, ‘How dare you? Where is this hypocrisy coming from?’”

Trump last week declared Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) over what he said was a “mass slaughter of Christians”. He later threatened military action in the West African nation if authorities fail to address the issue quickly. 

“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. 

Trump’s comment had triggered a wave of debate within and outside the country, with the Federal Government denying the claims.

Weighing in on the matter, Falana said the recent development is a wake-up call for Nigeria to put its house in order. 

“For us as a people and for the government of Nigeria, we must now take Mr Trump’s warning as a wake-up call,” the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) said on the current affairs show.

Bode George, a member of the board of trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has warned Sule Lamido, former governor of Jigawa, not to take the party to court over the sale of nomination forms for national chairmanship contest.

Speaking George said Lamido must first explore the party’s internal dispute resolution processes before seeking redress in court.

The PDP chieftain also said Lamido has every right to contest for the party’s national chairmanship position.

“The fact that those leaders converged and supported one individual as a consensus candidate doesn’t mean others can’t contest,” George said.

“You want to make the process seamless. It’s an internal dynamic. We have done this before, but the party has never stopped anyone from contesting.

“My friend Sule Lamido has the right to compete. He can go and get the form, fill it, and follow the normal process to appear on the day of the convention. We will vote.

“But before you take the party to court, you must exhaust the internal dynamics of the party. If you fail to do that, you can be punished.

“So, he (Lamido) is exercising his rights, but if he goes to court for this, he can be punished.”

“Let him go; nobody will deny him any form, and he can compete. The final decision will be by delegates attending the convention, and it will be done openly.”

George emphasised that the PDP constitution provides for internal conflict resolution procedures that all members must respect to maintain discipline within the party.

His comments followed Lamido’s claim that top PDP officials are obstructing his attempt to purchase nomination forms for the chairmanship race.

There was a mild drama as Philip Shaibu and Omobayo Godwins clashed over who should represent Edo State at the Former Deputy Governors’ Forum during its fourth annual national conference.


It was reported that the tension started when Omobayo was introduced as the former deputy governor at the event in Abuja on Tuesday, prompting Shaibu to object publicly.

The event briefly descended into chaos as both men argued over legitimacy.

Shaibu, while speaking after the incident, said the introduction was improper, insisting Omobayo was never elected but brought in through the backdoor.

According to him, a court judgement had declared his removal illegal, stressing that the office was never vacant.

Responding, Omobayo said he never made himself deputy governor, describing the clash as almost a national disgrace and added that he had tried to remain calm.

Recall that Philip Shaibu was impeached as Edo Deputy Governor in April 2024 and was replaced by Omobayo Godwins.

But a court later ruled the impeachment was unlawful and reinstated him.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has described as very embarrassing the resignation of Bayelsa State governor, Douye Diri, from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Recall that the governor was chairing the PDP zoning committee for the elective national convention, scheduled for November 15 and 16, when he quit the party.

Speaking during a media chat on Friday in Abuja, Wike said Diri’s decision to leave the PDP was disappointing.

“It is very embarrassing. The governor was the chairman of the convention committee. Diri was the chairman of the zoning committee. Even though I knew from the beginning that they were all playing games,” he said.
