And Chimaobi Nzeremobi of Crown FM said this morning that Abia State government has a stake in it, arguing that Gov. Sheriff Francis Oborevwori should do same.

Chimaobi is a very uninformed journalist, who should go back to journalistic school for more training.

Congrats.

It's Delta central turn
Ighodalo is coming
Esan lo kun

Edo Central not Delta Central.

But this same guy from his LinkedIn profile has worked in several radio stations and is presently a manager in Jordan 93.9 Fm Abuja. I no just understand this guy.

Ohislee:
Honour the Lord with thy substance and with the first fruits of all thine increase,” Proverbs 3:9

There is first fruit in the bible, however, it does not represent your entire salary in the month of January.

For some reason, some preachers has turned it to mean your entire January salary which is not.

Like in the place I just quoted in proverbs, the Lord asked for your increase. For example, you got a promotion, your first fruit will represent the salary difference which you can give to God once. If you are goat farmer, your first fruit will be the first goat your herd reproduce for the year and not the entire goat your herd reproduced in the month of January.

First fruit, focuses on increase, note this.

Well said.

Who noticed that all those APC senior miscreants on Nairaland eg. Mànnabbqgrills, Hèlinus and Co can no longer afford data due to stoppage of the 30k stipends paid to then & the hardship from this their current darling daddy troll Peter Obi.. Peter Obi is still sailing high why most of the miscreant have gone Oblivion

Wait oh. They no longer pay them their 30k monthly? Who's took over from Lauretta Onochie as SA Social Media?

Just4000:
Dear, sometimes you just let things go when they are not fully understood, rather than talk down on someone, just make your comment and let go. Haven said that. There's no government organization or directorate not even a small unit that operates a single obligor. Meaning there's no none that operates as single signatory to an account and in most cases directors are not signatories, so any financial fraud committed by a director must have accomplices. Payment as huge as that must be confirmed and crosschecked before it is approved. Confirmation and approval is usually done by the office of the AGF. The truth is that the both AGFs are aware of it(Accountant & Auditor). Even Emefele's personal allowance go through approval process. Sentiment apart, to get Emefele, many heads must roll, otherwise it will be seen as a pure case of witch hunt.

Solid point. So in your view, there was no case of forgery, since for such a humongous amount to be released (in cash oh), the Accountant General and Auditor General must append their signatures.

CockPit:
Senate members needs to be kidnapped before they can introduce death penalty for kidnapers.

I also believe the security agents are working with these kidnappers.

Hmmm.

CockPit:
Once you pay ransom, there will be more kidnappings because they now have more resources to kidnap. Also, others will realize kidnapping is lucrative and join in the business. No two ways about it.

This is what happens to irresponsible leaders who forgive terrorists.

Ready for more kidnappings and save your ransom money!

That is why Government has to effect the death penalty for convicted kidnappers. Or draft in intelligence officers on covert mission to eliminate them. Then this nonsense will stop.

Validated:
1. A super minister in Tinubu government will resign or be sacked before Sep 2024

2. Naira will weaken to about N1500 to USD.
FG will incur more foreign debts and pump price will go up to N800 per litre

3. Russia vs Ukraine war will end abruptly. Two Ukraine territories would be vacated by Russia. Putin oh Putin ... please watch out!

4. Hamas should be ready to be chased out of Gaza. Palestaians would have a state, but part of current Gaza would be lost to Israel.

5. The US Supreme Court will overturn Colorado and Maine ban on Donald Trump.

6. Catholics will mourn a very big loss before 2024 Christmas.

7. One of the big evangelicals pastors will be called home. This might trigger succession crisis, but "God has the answer"

9. There will be crisis of unimaginable proportion in part of North Central that could threaten the very fabrics of the Nigerian state.

10. Caneroun will get a new president. Do not ask me how because I do not know.

Please, respect these predictions. If you have nothing to say, keep mute and wait toll Dec 2024 to castigate the predictions.

Your number 9 is ✅️. Abuja which is in North Central is having security crises which by and large is affecting the entire nation one way or the other eg the relocation of certain departments at the CBN from Abuja to Lagos using amongst other reasons security.

aalangel:
Have you ever seen Loveworld Incorporated (there's no Believers in it) dispute such frivolities? If you know who's talking to you, you'll just end this charade.

For any information about Loveworld, kindly join Kingschat. Loveworld and Pastor Chris is all on Kingschat.

I hear you.

aalangel:
Still wrong. That Nairaland posted it doesn't make it true.

So the person that posted it on Facebook posted lies?

And after he posted it, Love World Music never controverted that information?

All the names he mentioned in his Facebook post, none of them issued a disclaimer?

Christ Embassy a.k.a.Believers Love World didn't dispute this information.

aalangel:
1. Pastor Chris doesn't have a private jet.

2. Pastor Chris is not a "General Overseer" (so irritating to hear)

3. Pastor Chris - 50 million dollars?? Is this a joke or what?

Your number 1 is wrong. Love world music bought a private jet for Pastor Chris.

IamAsiri:
I get jare. I meant why is he being buried 9 days after?

Ok.

IamAsiri:
Why wasn't he buried immediately according to Muslim rites?

Not immediately. Within 24hrs.

Lifemanage:
It appears Rivers is not in the plan for today. I am interested

No. Judgement has been reserved.

Congratulations to the Ukodo 1 of Okpe Kingdom His Excellency Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori on his victory at the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

I don't know why I find the bolded funny.

Really funny😂



There is a hint of anxiety among party supporters as the Supreme Court delivers judgement in 13 governorship appeals in six states today.

The governors of Nasarawa, Rivers, Delta, Gombe, Ogun and Kebbi states will know whether they will continue to occupy the number one seat in their various states after the apex court judgement today.

The apex court has heard and reserved judgements in the appeals.
According to the court, adequate arrangements have been put in place to ensure unhindered access to the court for lawyers, litigants and the media.

Last week, the court delivered judgement in eight governorship appeals before it. The appeals arose from the judgements of the Court of Appeal which decided the case one way or the other.

According to the Electoral Act 2022, the apex court is the final court for presidential and governorship election appeals.

While some of the appeals were filed by the governors to challenge the judgement of the Appeal Court that sacked them from office, a majority of the appeals are challenging the judgement of the Court of Appeal which affirmed the elections of the governors.

Both parties in the appeals will know their fate today as the apex court is set to put an end to the governorship tussle one way or the other.

Meanwhile, there is anxiety among residents of Rivers State over today’s judgement of the Supreme Court on the 2023 governorship election in the state.

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Tonye Cole, had gone to the Supreme Court to challenge Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s electoral victory at the election.

LEADERSHIP Friday observed that there has been tension among members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

The judgement is expected to change the tone of the ongoing political face-off between Fubara and the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.

The situation is no different in Delta State as the residents eagerly await on the Supreme Court.
The appeals from APC, Social Democratic Party (SDP), and the Labour Party (LP) candidates are challenging the victory of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State.
This may not be unconnected with the appellants, former Senate Deputy President Ovie Omo-Agege of APC,  Barr Kennet Gbagi, SDP and Ken Pela, LP, that approached the Supreme Court for the reversal of the victory given to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of PDP by the Court of Appeal in Lagos State and Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

Subsequently, the appellants, through their respective counsels, urged the Supreme Court to invalidate the November 24 judgement of the Court of Appeal which dismissed their cases for want of merit and affirmed Oborevwori of the PDP as the bona fide winner of the governorship contest.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Oborevwori winner with 360,234 votes ahead of Omo-Agege with 240,229 votes.

An appeal court judgement in November had affirmed his election, with a three-member tribunal headed by Justice C.H. Ahuchaogu dismissing the petition filed by Ovie Omo-Agege.

However, at proceedings, a five-member panel of the apex court, led by Justice Inyang Okoro, reserved  judgment in the appeal after all the parties had adopted their final briefs of argument.

Omo-Agege, who is the immediate past deputy president of the Senate, contended that the election was not conducted in substantial compliance with provisions of the Electoral Act.
He told the apex court that the results of the governorship election were not properly recorded at some polling units, adding that the forms that contained some of the recorded results did not have serial numbers.

While SDP candidate, Barr Kennet Gbagi, prayed the court to declare that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori was not eligible to contest the election, his counterpart in the LP, Ken Pela, urged the Supreme Court to nullify the entire election and declare a fresh one.

They equally faulted an earlier judgement of the sitting in Asaba, which on September 29 affirmed Oborevwori’s election.

Apart from alleging irregularities, malpractices, non-compliance, as well as corrupt practices amongst others upon which they want the court to void Oborevwori’s election, Gbagi particularly argued that the governor was not qualified to be on the ballot for PDP, on the grounds of alleged forgery of his certificate attached in his Form EC9 submitted to INEC in aid of his qualification for the election.

Uneasy calm has also enveloped the three senatorial districts of Ogun State following the Supreme Court’s judgement expected to be delivered today over the disputed governorship election results held in the state on March 18, 2023.

Notwithstanding the split judgement delivered by the appellate court earlier, which gave a faint ray of hope to the rival PDP and its governorship candidate at the election, Hon. ‘Ladi Adebutu, both the political camps of the ruling APC and that of its challenger have continued to remain silent without any of them discussing any possible victory at the apex court that is expected to give its final verdict today on the disputed election.

It would be recalled that the PDP and its guber candidate, Adebutu, had approached the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal that earlier sat in Ogun to nullify the electoral victory of the APC candidate and incumbent state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on the grounds that elections were disrupted in over 99 polling units in Sagamu Local Government Area of the state.
LEADERSHIP Friday also recalled that PDP was not asking that its candidate, Adebutu, be declared winner of the disputed election, but the party was rather demanding for a rerun of election in the areas where election process was disrupted.

But the appellate court upheld the electoral victory of the incumbent governor, Abiodun, in a split decision which was earlier upheld by the tribunal.

Ahead of today’s verdict, however, politicians across all political parties in the state have continued to live in anxiety over the uncertainty of the judgement, which many believe, would be in favour of the incumbent governor, Abiodun.

Speaking with LEADERSHIP Friday on the matter, a top official of the APC, who sought anonymity, expressed the optimism that the Supreme Court’s judgement would be delivered in favour of the incumbent governor.

Nasarawa Women Task Apex Court On Unbiased Judgement
Some women groups in Nasarawa State have urged the Supreme Court to uphold its independence and deliver a judgement free from external pressures and influences concerning the March 18, 2023 governorship election in the state.
Speaking on behalf of the women from different civil society groups during a peaceful protest at the Unity Fountain in Abuja yesterday, Deaconess Lydia Cletus Auta stressed the importance of the judiciary remaining untainted by external factors.

Auta said that the majority of the people of Nasarawa State voted for David Ombugadu, and asserted that any judgment deviating from the popular vote would be met with resistance.

She also pleaded with the judiciary to rise above potential religious manipulations, stating the crucial need for fairness and justice in the forthcoming Supreme Court verdict.
She said, “We call on the Nigerian people to examine the evidence and see why we are so steadfast in our demand for justice. The reports from INEC clearly show why we cannot compromise or back down.”
Auta stressed that their protest signifies not just their cause but represents widows, orphans, and vulnerable women who have been suffering bad governance.
She urged fellow citizens to support their cause.

Auta called for transparency and openness in handling the case, emphasising the importance of reflecting the popular vote in the released verdict.

However, the atmosphere across Nasarawa yesterday was calm.
In Lafia the state capital, residents were seen going about their normal business despite the impending judgement.

However, supporters of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) intensified prayers at the party’s secretariat located on Jos Road in Lafia.

The supporters, mostly women, clad in all-black attire, have been protesting since the outcome of the last governor’s election in the state was made public by INEC.
They had maintained presence throughout the period of the Governorship Election Tribunal close to the venue of the sitting at the State High Court premises on Shendam Road.

After the tribunal wound up, they retreated to the party secretariat where they converged daily to pray for the triumph of their candidate, David Umbugadu, during the duration of the Court of Appeal proceedings.
The group had vowed to maintain presence at the premises until the litigation over the governorship tussle is concluded.

LEADERSHIP Friday reports that both the leadership of the APC and its PDP counterpart recently signed a peace deal brokered by the heads of security agencies in the state.

The two contending parties had, following the peace deal, appealed to supporters and members to refrain from any action that may lead to breach of peace in the state.

This is nonsense. No 1: That slot is a zonal slot that belongs to the South/South Geopolitical zone. No 2: Betta Edu has not yet been convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction. The EFCC is still investigating her. This move by Queen abi na Princess Tejuosho is TOTAL RUBBISH.

garfield1:
1) that judgment of the high court was upheld by the appeal court and the apex court failed to rule on it.it is judgment in rem and binding on everybody...
2) the issue here is a court judgment and judgments are general.it is both pre election and post election.the high courts settled it and the tribunal are bound by it.it is just like the shettima case that was settled by the regular courts and the tribunal was bound by it..

Tribunals are bound by regular court decisions.they cannot relitigate on it or overturn in.they must obey it.the high court decision is binding on the tribunal

That means you don't really understand the laws governing elections and electoral parties.

That the Appeal Court gave that judgment doesn't mean they are right.

garfield1:
Why sir? No one seems to understand my point but I know I am right.the apex court messed me up

No 1: The judgement the Appeal Court relied on was from a State High Court.

No 2: It was clearly a pre-election issue, which should have emanated from the Federal High Court, and not the Tribunal.

Tribunals are strictly to handle election issues.

garfield1:
Me and you know the appeal court judges were right.the supreme court miraculously saved muftwang.the apex court went beyond it's jurisdiction

Garfield I respectfully disagree with you.

TrennixGLOBAL:
The current delta governor is not anywhere in any of the photo.

Only 2 ex- governors

Check well. Sherrif is behind them. Unless you don't know him. He was a Special Assistant to Ex-Governor Ibori then.

Busy body dey worry you. Are you still a member?

Haba! Which one be busy body na? Allow the guy talk.

The United States of America.

Thereishel:
You're very ignorant because you're in Nigeria not abroad. Visiting once a year you think it's easy as if the distance is from Lagos to Ibadan. Beside you think it's easy to file paper for someone who is not motherly and fatherly born to you. Supposing he has a wife abroad and he brings another wife that is bigamy 20 years in prison

So why get married to another lady in Nigeria if he has a wife abroad?

Whalis:
The same Ayu he asked to resign that refused has he not been sanctioned due to antiparty activities?
All these you mentioned the only person who didn't deliver for PDP was only Okezie due to Obis effect in Abia. Wike delivered for PDP. He gave his condition to work with Atiku but Atiku took the lies he was told by Abuja boys that Buhari would hand over to him.

What locus standi does Wike have to call for Ayu's resignation?

Ballmer:
The Atiku that was jumping here n there what punishment did PDP give to him

Common dude...Atiku LEFT the PDP for the APC. Let Wike do same by going once and for all.

ZKOSOSO:
He singlehandedly down PDP in presidential 2023 election and got away with it...can you beat that?

Exactly! He should be thrown out of the PDP.

Whalis:
What has Wike done that is deserving of expelling him?
He became a minister through the approval of PDP NWC. Didn't you hear when he said it? Has it been refuted?
PDP governors and other elected members thereafter when Wike disclosed this visited Tinubu and pledged to work with him. Are you just coming from the moon?

Not because he accepted to serve in the APC Federal Government as a minister but due to the following reasons:

No 1: He worked against his party, the PDP in the Presidential election.

No 2: He has since then been engaging in anti-party activities.

No 3: He misled the 4 PDP governors (Makinde, Ikpeazu, Ortom and Ugwuanyi to work against their party.

Wike should be EXPELLED from the PDP.
