A witness to the petitioners at the Ekiti Election Tribunal, holding in Abuja, on Wednesday disowned an exhibit tendered and urged the tribunal not to use it.

The petitioners, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and its candidate in the Ekiti July 14 governorship election, Prof. Olusola Kolapo had approached the tribunal to challenge the outcome of the election.

The respondents in the suit are the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Kayode Fayemi and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The witness, Aborisade Abolarin, who served as a polling unit agent for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the July 14 election, stated this while being cross examined by the counsel for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Chief Charles Uwensuyi-Edosomwan (SAN).

Asked if his signature was the one on the Form for Polling Unit 005, Ward 9, Moba Local Government Area of the state, the witness stated that it was not his signature.

“It is not my signature that is here (on the document). I disown this document,” said the witness listed as PW26.

Meanwhile, all the witnesses called by the petitioners complained in their written witness statements on oath of alleged deliberate voiding of valid votes meant for the petitioners during the election.

The tribunal chaired by Justice Suleiman Belgore, will continue the hearing of the petition today.

So, next election in Kogi state, because of party affiliation some paid people (foreigners who aren't here bearing the brunt with us) would want to support a certain governor to win in Kogi state(if he contests with their party's mandate)?

Well, anybody who wishes to do that would die mysteriously including all members of his/her family and would never reap the fruits of their labour in this life.

Save you curse for better thing, that govt that is not favouring you doesn't means it has not turn some lives around for good. So, everyone with his/or her believe and political ideology.

Despite pressure from the federal government, the organised labour, comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and United Labour Congress (ULC), yesterday insisted on commencing a nationwide strike to demand a quick implementation of a new minimum wage for workers in the country.


There is palpable fear in the land that baring any last minute change of plan, the industrial action may ground government and other business activities across the country. As at last night, motorists and other consumers of petroleum products across the country involved themselves in panic buying of the products for fear of the strike action by organised labour.


Fueling the apprehension, President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Wabba, told journalists at a press briefing yesterday that public offices, schools, banks and other places of work are expected to comply with the strike action, which is bound to shutdown the economy.


According to Wabba, it became obvious that the government did not intend to keep its promise of implementing a new minimum wage for workers. He pointed out that the industrial action became the last resort following federal government’s refusal to reconvene the meeting of the tripartite national minimum wage committee to enable it conclude its work.


He said, ” The action is in compliance with the decision of the various organs of the organised labour which endorsed the 14-day ultimatum served on the federal government by members of the Organised Labour who are members of the Tripartite Committee on the new National Minimum Wage.


“The Labour organs further mandated their leadership to take all necessary steps, including a warning strike in the first instance to compel the government to reconvene the meeting of the Committee in order to bring it to a logical conclusion.


In compliance with this mandate, all workers in the public and private sectors at all levels across the country have been directed to comply”. Noting that economic activities, both in the private and public sectors, will be grounded today, Wabba said, “Industrial unions, state councils, all worker organistions and our civil society allies have been directed to step up mobilization of their members.


“All public and private institutions, offices, banks, schools, public and private business premises including filling stations are to remain shut till further notice.


“All those who mean well for this country are to see to the success of this action. Further more, this action is to remain in force until further directives are given”.


The national minimum wage committee, which was inaugurated in November 2017, had commenced work in March 2018 with timelines to deliver on its mandate of arriving at a new national minimum wage between August and September 2018.


The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, had in February this year during the 40th anniversary celebration of the NLC, assured workers that they would have a new minimum wage in September.


The NLC president said the claims by state governors that they cannot pay salary is due to high level of corruption, excessive cost of governance, indulgence in obscene lifestyle, white elephant projects and not lack of funds.


He said, “Indeed, government ought to have commended workers and their unions for waiting patiently for two years before commencing negotiations for a new National Minimum Wage. We advise that our disposition should not be taken for granted.

“After the aptitude test, they will go for interview then drug test; then the final screening with the corps marshal,” Oyeyemi said. He commended the smooth conduct of the exercise which he described as having being okay and was not hectic.


“There is orderliness. The exercise began since six o’clock in the morning. This shows the level of planning. “The officers conducting the exercise are going by directive of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.


He has given directive that we must ensure the planning is much better than the previous exercises,” he said. Oyeyemi commended the Service Chiefs, Inspector-General of Police and Director-General, and Department of State Services for providing the security.

Chelsea midfielder has changed position under the new coach - Maurizio Sarri.


New role has been assigned to Kante under Maurizio Sarri.
Kante is now playing a new role for Chelsea under the magician coach Maurizio Sarri. This shift of position will definitely have both positive and negative impact on the team being widely acknowledged as the club engine room.
by John Komolafe

The last match statistics shown that he is much more attacking than before.
Sarri find it better seeing him aggressively pressing forward with the ball. Sarri said “He is playing like a centre right-midfielder and I am very happy for the performance of Kante”. It will help in improving Chelsea ball possession.
"It's a new manager, a new system. I play a little bit more forward. I try to find the striker, to be more offensive, to cause problems for the opponents. I need to adapt in this role and I will give my best in this position for the team and I hope we can keep doing good things for the future." Kante said.
But more shots and more chances created but fewer tackles and interceptions. That is the trade-off Sarri is accepting when shifting Kante's position. It should make Chelsea a better passing team and a more dynamic one. But it is a tweak that could also leave them exposed defensively.

Contrary to popular belief, Kante cannot be everywhere at once.

Ole ni e, that is one of the lacunas in Nigeria constitution. If you leave a political party you suppose step down in any position you've attained through the party. Why will party A vote you and you decamp to party B, then still hold the position you attained through party A.

If those delegate love Ekiti not their pocket two of them will never smell that position

votes are not weigh to differentiate between elites who focus on future and area boys who see only the peanut politician will give them.

Ekiti State is well known at home and abroad as the home of scholar. But despite this, she always suffer good leadership.

At the onset of fourth republic, Ekiti State was used to compensate a young man then by the name Adeniyi Adebayo for a job well done by his father during his Military Administration (can you imagine using my own state to compensate).

The following regime was also a compensation to Adedubu thug (Adedubu was know as political bugaboo in Oyo State) who happen to be from Ekiti State. Adedubu no doubt was PDP machinery in Oyo state (a figure like Tinubu in Lagos state politics today), He handed his boy to Obasanjo the then Nigeria president, and Obasanjo has no option than to enthrone him either by crook or hook means - though the thug later betrayed him but for the sake of secret between them Obasanjo cannot directly use iron hand on him.

To cut the long story short, the thug came back after some years to seize power again using the gullibility of one educated but political illiterate from South South.

Now he's about to leave office but he can't imagine ever letting Ekiti State out of his hook, he then device a plan to choose loyal, and controllable successor who he can manipulate at will. His idea was successful at the primary election because he backed it with action.

The challenger from other political party, which we would have all see as savior happen to be the deep blue sea who ruled for four years as the state governor with nothing to show for it. He narrowly escaped impeachment as minister because of his ineptitudes and pompousness.

Now, knowing that the state indirectly practise two parties system of government, She is left between the devil (the thug successor) and the deep blue sea (the callous minister)
