Federal High Court remands retired General Garba Gololo in Kuje prison over alleged cyberstalking and defamatory video claims. A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of retired Major General Garba Gololo at the Kuje Correctional Centre after he pleaded not guilty to a seven-count charge bordering on alleged cyberstalking, defamation and incitement linked to comments about Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia adjourned the matter until June 15 for hearing of Gololo’s bail application and ordered that he remain in custody pending the hearing. Gololo was arraigned by the Inspector-General of Police over allegations that a viral video and Facebook posts attributed to him violated provisions of the Cybercrimes Act and the Penal Code. The charges stem from a video in which Gololo allegedly claimed that Akpabio said northerners must vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election or risk being expelled from Nigeria. He pleaded not guilty to all seven counts. The office of the Senate President denied the allegation, describing the claims as false and malicious. Counsel to Gololo, Mohammed Habu, appeared in court on behalf of the retired military officer during the proceedings https://www.arise.tv/court-remands-gololo-over-alleged-cyberstalking-of-akpabio/ |
But on a serious note, in a free, fair, and credible election, devoid of “grab it, snatch it, and run away with it electoral banditry , anyone can defeat Tinubu. |
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned one Igoin Tokoni Peter before a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged fraud and impersonation. Peter was arraigned on Friday before Justice Obiora Egwuatu on a four-count charge bordering on impersonation and obtaining money under false pretence. The EFCC alleged that the defendant posed as a special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on ICT development and digital innovation.Presidential election coverage According to the anti-graft agency, Peter allegedly obtained N25.9 million from Dontown Assets Limited under the pretence of securing a cryptocurrency exchange operational licence. “That you, Igoin Tokoni Peter, sometime between 30th August, 2024 and 30th October, 2025 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court with the intent to defraud, obtained the aggregate sum of N25,941,787.00,” the charge reads. The EFCC alleged that the money was received through the account of Smartz Skyward Energy Limited domiciled with Zenith Bank.

Dave umahi is mád man and a drûñkàrd |
But his supporters say he “improved” the economy, that Nigeria would have collapsed without him. After making Nigerians too poor to afford school fees, he now offers loans through NELFUND. He built the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, etc. According to Tinubu and his supporters, these are not mistakes. They are “painful but necessary” steps ... painful but necessary baby steps Nigerians must endure so the country does not collapse. So why then should he be forgiven |
Sugarboyy:From Tinubu |
Counterigbolies:State it here if you are so sure |
Counterigbolies:Which primary and secondary schools did Tinubu attend? |
Counterigbolies:You mean if his father was at least a fórgér and idéntity thiéf |
Tinubu has now resorted to teasing Nigerians and making a joke of the hardships and deaths his policies have subjected Nigerians to. |
favor914:So you don't even know what in the act Sorry! |
favor914:What is in the Act |
Tinubu has now resorted to teasing Nigerians and making a joke of the hardships and deaths his policies have subjected Nigerians to. |
masui:Not just that, hardships, kidnappings, killings and deaths |
More and more presidential candidates are emerging from the South. It’s the South’s turn. I just hope Wike delivers Rivers State votes to his PDP faction. He shouldn't betray his PDP faction presidential candidate |
Alliswell248:You’re actually going through a lot, having nightmares. Even on a thread about ADC, you still have to smuggle Peter Obi and Obidients into it |
MaziObinnaokija:Maziiiiii! |

The aftermath of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in Bauchi State has sparked growing discontent leading to mass defection of both prominent chieftains and their supportershttps://www.dailytrust.com.ng/senators-who-lost-return-tickets-lead-mass-defection-from-apc-in-bauchi-2

Validated:INEC has gone ahead to appeal the judgment. But as expected, it will be thrown out for lacking merit. |
This is obviously the Tinubu and the APC appealing the judgment through the Amupitan-led INEC simply to buy time, so that those dissatisfied with the APC’s baba sope political patronage machine and fraudulent primaries will not decamp for now. Ordinarily, INEC is not even supposed to appeal this judgment. The judge simply held that INEC cannot lawfully shorten the timeline already provided under Section 29(1) of the Electoral Act 2026 for the submission of party membership records and candidates’ particulars. As expected, the appeal will most likely be dismissed for lacking merit. INEC cannot issue guidelines that conflict with the very Electoral Act from which it derives its powers. |
Akpakomiza2:Divided with Tinubu? Oga, wake up, this is not 2023 anymore. Buhari is no more, El-Rufai has practically become Tinubu’s political prisoner, and Tinubu is now standing on his own record. There's no more, he built Lagos from scratch and tamed the Atlantic ocean propaganda to sell. As president, has performed abysmally, woefully and spectacularly poor. No mass appeal, currently the most unpopular among the major presidential contenders. The only things keeping him afloat are incumbency power, access to the national treasury, looted funds, and endless borrowed funds. |

Good one This is the democracy in action |
It's the southern turn |
The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has emerged winner of the party’s primary election ahead of the 2027 governorship poll, defeating his closest rival, Silas. Rhodes-Vivour secured a total of 12,948 votes to clinch the ADC ticket, while Silas polled 6,183 votes in a keenly contested exercise held with participation from party stakeholders and supporters across the state. Observers described the primary as peaceful and transparent, with strong turnout recorded across voting centres. Speaking after he was declared winner, Rhodes-Vivour expressed appreciation to party members and supporters for their backing, describing the outcome as a collective victory for the movement. “I want to sincerely thank every supporter who rallied around this movement and came out en masse to vote. This victory belongs to all of us who believe in a better future,” he said. He added that the task of political transformation had only just begun, urging party faithful and residents to remain united ahead of the general election. “The work has only just begun. Together, we will continue to build a movement that represents hope, progress and accountable leadership for our people,” he said. However, in a follow-up reaction to claims suggesting he had lost the party’s ticket, Rhodes-Vivour dismissed the reports, insisting that his political strength could not be determined through speculation or informal projections. In a Monday statement, he rejected suggestions that electoral outcomes could be predicted through what he described as “Excel sheets.” “If only wishes were horses, if only we could sit in our house and write results on Excel sheets to win elections,” he said. He also addressed critics who had questioned his political standing, noting that moments of perceived setback often attract mockery, while insisting that his support base remains intact. Quoting comedian Dave Chappelle, he said: “When a hero stumbles, cowards rejoice. Nothing feels better to a coward than to watch a brave guy fall.” Despite the controversy, he maintained that the narratives do not reflect reality, insisting that his movement remains strong and resilient. “But sorry to disappoint, that won’t be today. The people of Lagos know the name of their champion,” he said. Rhodes-Vivour further claimed that confidence within his camp had already translated into celebration following what he described as a decisive outcome. “Since Friday the landslide victory was so definite that we had started celebrations. Last night we were officially declared victorious in a landslide victory,” he stated. He concluded by reaffirming his optimism ahead of the 2027 election, saying his movement would continue to prevail “against any odds,” while attributing his confidence to divine support: “Glory be to God.” https://thenationonlineng.net/rhodes-vivour-clinches-adc-governorship-ticket/#google_vignette |
slivertongue:At this point, the strategy is no longer about nationwide spread or the FCT’s 25% threshold. The Supreme Court already settled that in Tinubu’s favour, despite him not getting 25% in the FCT in 2023. The real game now is simply who can gather the highest number of votes, even if concentrated in a few regions. |
Bola Tinubu should be blamed the same way he blamed Goodluck Jonathan over insecurity and even advised him to resign |
slivertongue:Absolutely Come 2027 he will be inheriting Buhari's 12 million northern votes |
