The south west is becoming a very dangerous place to live in. So much hunger, starvation, killing, stealing, human ritual and the rest going on. Thank God I left Ekiti State the same day I collected my NYSC discharge certificate.
The UN should list south west region as a no go area in Nigeria.

I am sure no part of Nigeria is as safe as the South West

For the period of your service Year in Ekiti, how many of these killings or other listed vices did you witness or heard of?

You have just been migrated to Band A.

Welcome, Sir!

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in his appeal to the Supreme Court, has said he got 8.7 million votes in the 2023 presidential election, insisting that he won the election.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Obi is seeking nullification of the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court, which upheld the victory of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 presidential election.

In a 51-ground appeal filed by his lawyers on Tuesday, Obi argued that the PEPC erred in law by dismissing his petition, which challenged the outcome of the election on the grounds of alleged overvoting and non-compliance with the Electoral Act.

Obi’s lawyers also argued that the PEPC erred in refusing to rely on the evidence of 18,088 blurred polling unit results uploaded by INEC staff to its public viewing portal. They said the blurred results formed part of the certified copies issued to them by INEC and should have been considered by the PEPC.

The appeal partly read, “Take notice that the Appellants being dissatisfied with the decisions in PETITION NO: CA/PEPC/03/2023 MR. PETER GREGORY OBI & ANOR. v. INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION & ORS. (consolidated with Election Petition Nos: CA/PEPC/04/2023 and CA/PEPC/05/2023), contained in pages 3-327 of the Judgment of the Court of Appeal sitting as the Presidential Election Petition Court, Holden at Abuja, Coram: H. S. Tsammani, Stephen Jonah Adah, Misitura Omodere Bolaji-Yusuff, Boloukuroma Moses Ugo and Abba Bello Mohammed, JJ.C.A. (“the Court below”) delivered on the 6th day of September 2023, and more particularly stated in paragraph 2 of this Notice of Appeal, do hereby appeal to the Supreme Court on the Grounds set out in Paragraph 3 and will at the hearing of the appeal seek the Reliefs sought in paragraph 4 herein.”

In 2019, the federal government ordered the closure of land borders to halt smuggling along the borders.

The Nigerian government announced Tuesday that Nigerian importers would soon be free to legally import their goods from the ports in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

The acting Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adeniyi, disclosed this while speaking to journalists after a two-day working visit of Alain Hinkati, Director-General of Customs, Republic of Benin, to Nigeria.

In August 2019, the federal government ordered the closure of land borders to halt smuggling along the borders.

However, the government in 2021 opened border points across the country, Seme, in the South-west, Ilela and Maitagari in the North-west, and Mfun in the South-south.

The government maintained that the ban on the importation of rice, poultry, and other products still subsists.

Speaking on Tuesday, Mr Adeniyi said the decision to set up a clearing point for Nigeria-bound goods was one of the highlights of the two-day working visit of the Director-General of Customs, Republic of Benin, to Nigeria.

“We are building confidence in the system offered by the Republic of Benin. Our importers are using their ports and vice-versa. If there are people in the Benin Republic who want to use our ports, we try to build trust in our systems.

“By this agreement, what it means is that Nigerian importers willing to use the ports in Cotonou can have their goods cleared in those ports because there would be an opportunity for them to pay duties on goods that are liable for payment of duties.

Tinubu 100 days
“We can account for the duties on those goods in the ports of arrival. So they will now be free to enter Nigeria,” Mr Adeniyi said.

Speaking on the promotion of the ECOWAS trade liberalisation scheme, he said the relevant department within the Nigeria Customs Service has been entrusted with the task of reviewing the current impediments to the ECOWAS trade liberalisation scheme to chart practical ways forward.


“Our objective remains steadfast to stimulate economic growth, foster regional integration, and nurture prosperity among our nations.

“In collaboration with the Inspector General of the Nigeria Police, we have undertaken substantial measures to reduce barriers along our trade corridors.

“This was done within three weeks of my return by addressing these challenges, we are fostering a more conducive environment for legitimate trade to flourish,” he said.

Digital Innovation
He explained that the NCS is currently in the final stages of integrating its IT systems with the Federal Road Safety to curb illegal entry of vehicles.

“This integration will enhance our ability to monitor and regulate cross-border vehicle movements more effectively,” he said.


“Initiatives have been launched to harmonise the list of products prohibited in Nigeria.”

This step, he said, not only promotes consistency but also facilitates smoother trade relations with its partners.



“We are swiftly progressing toward Nigeria’s integration into the Interconnected System for the Management of Goods in Transit (SIGMAT), joining hands with other West African nations.


“This interconnected system promises to further streamline our transit operations and improve regional trade dynamics,” he said.

In strengthening the fight against cross-border crime, he said the NCS’ commitment to combating cross-border crime is unwavering.

“We are actively engaging in cooperation, intelligence sharing, and resource pooling with our regional partners to ensure the security and safety of our shared borders.

“We have honoured our commitment to holding bi-annual meetings to discuss matters of common interest.

“These meetings provide a vital platform for dialogue and cooperation, strengthening our regional customs community,” he added.

He noted that the NCS has been working diligently to engage with border communities.

“Nigeria Customs Service is currently developing plans to incorporate border communities as a priority in its Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy. We are also promoting professionalism and tax compliance among our customs officers.

“Our efforts to secure the international supply chain remain a top priority, as we continue to implement measures that safeguard trade while ensuring the highest standards of security,” Mr Adeniyi said.

He said the return visit provides a great opportunity to align the framework of ongoing consultations with that of its neighbouring customs administration.

“Over the last 24 hours, we have been able to leverage our shared commitment to meaningful cooperation to consider and make progress on issues like managing the transit of goods through the territories, the use of our ports by importers of the countries and the issue of prohibited goods.

“These accomplishments are a testament to the dedication in collaboration with our regional partners.

“However, we acknowledge that our journey is far from complete. The challenges we face require our continued commitment and resolve to overcome them,” he noted.

Mr Adeniyi said: “As we solidify these gains, we must also look ahead with a sense of urgency. The demands of our evolving global landscape require us to adapt and innovate at an accelerated pace.

“Together, we shall work tirelessly to further enhance customs processes, trade facilitation, and regional integration.”

“Let us recommit ourselves to the noble cause of promoting economic prosperity, peace, and stability within the West African region.

“The advancements we celebrate today serve as a foundation for the even greater achievements that lie ahead. I am confident that our collective efforts will continue to yield positive outcomes, ultimately benefiting our nations and our people,” he said.

In his speech, Mr Hinkati called for trade facilitation and sub-regional trade between the two countries.

“We need to improve our trade facilitation. What we have done here is to deepen the discussions we had in Benin. We need concrete steps to have results.

“The framework we are coming up with for Nigeria-bound goods to be cleared in the Benin Republic and vice versa is the way to go with facilitating trade between both countries.

“We want to ensure all obstacles to trade are dealt with,” he said.

In his remark, the Nigerian ambassador to the Benin Republic, Olukayode Olugbenga, said the partnership is great for both countries.

“I observed the need for Nigeria to change the way of doing things in our land borders. We are cementing our trade relations with the Benin Republic and there is already a robust goodwill and political thrust to make it happen,” Mr Olugbenga said.

Why we agree with lead judgment, by four PEPC justices
PEPC
Adebisi Onanuga and Robert Egbe September 12, 2023

The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) judgment of September 6 on the three surviving petitions filed against the last presidential election not only affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu, it did so by a unanimous decision of its five justices. ADEBISI ONANUGA and ROBERT EGBE report that while Justice Haruna Tsammani delivered the lead judgments, four others Justice Stephen Adah, Justice Misitura Bolaji-Yusuf, Justice Moses Ugo and Justice Abba Mohammed were in “full agreement.

Justice Stephen Adah

I am in full agreement with the lead judgment delivered by my learned brother Haruna Simon Tsammani, JCA in these three consolidated Petitions which are petitions No: CA/PEPC/03/2023, CA/PEPC/04/2023; CA/PEPC/05/2023.

These Petitions were filed against the election into the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which election was conducted in Nigeria on 25th February 2023.

I agree also with the consolidated rulings on the various objections and other interlocutory applications relating to the competence of witnesses and the documents tendered in the three Petitions.

I also agree with the reasoning and the conclusions arrived at the rulings on the preliminary objections and the substantial issues raised therein.

In any concluded Election, there are bound to be a winner and losers. While the winner celebrates victory, an aggrieved loser may come before the Court to ventilate his grievances. This is made possible by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) which in Section 6 empowers Courts to determine disputes, including election disputes.

It is well settled that an election Petition by nature is sui generis, of its own kind or class. It is not like going to Court to make a claim of debt, contract or tort. It has its own character and it is unique by its nature. The slightest non-compliance with a procedural step which otherwise could either be cured or waived in ordinary civil proceedings could result in a fatal consequence to the Petition.

Election Petition as a special proceeding is specifically regulated by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, the Electoral Act and other Rules of procedure such as the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules and Practice Direction of the Honourable President of the Court of Appeal for the hearing of the Election Petition and the Election Petition Appeals.


By Section 285(5) of the Constitution, an Election Petition shall be filed within 21 days after the date of the declaration of result of the Election; and by Section 285(6) thereof an Election Tribunal shall deliver its judgment in writing within 180 days. These time lines are sacrosanct and cannot be extended by the Court.

It is trite that under the 1st Schedule of the Electoral Act, the election petition to be filed is well regulated. See Paragraph 4(5), (6) of the Electoral Act, 2022 which provides as follows:

“(S) The election petition shall be accompanied by- (a) A list of the witnesses that the petitioner intends to call in proof of the petition, (b) Written statements on oath of the witnesses, and (c) Copies or list of every document to be relied on at the hearing of the petition.

(6) A petition which fails to comply with subparagraph (5) shall not be accepted for filing by the Secretary.

(7) An election petition, which does not comply with subparagraph (1) or a Provision of that subparagraph is defective and may be struck out by the tribunal or Court. “

The word ‘Shall’ used in this Legislation makes it mandatory for a Petitioner to comply with that provision of the law. Failure to comply is fatal.

Election Petitions are fought on pleadings, competent and credible witnesses. Where a Petition is deficient in pleadings and evidence, it is difficult to prove the Petition. In the instant Petitions, the Petitioners’ pleadings were deficient. While they complained of non-compliance with the Electoral Act against 1st respondent, their own Petitions were massively deficient in compliance with the Act.

The lead judgment has elaborately dealt with these issues. When a Court is called upon to determine an election dispute, he is called upon to do justice. Our notion of doing justice is not that of doing justice according to the whims and caprices of the judges or the parties. It must be justice according to law. Justice according to law is also that which is neither based on technicality nor justice according to the suggestive clout of pressure groups, but such as substantially meets the demands of justice. This, with all respect, is what we have done in the lead judgment.

I therefore concur with the leading judgment that these three consolidated Petitions having not been proved are hereby dismissed.

I abide by the consequential orders as made in the lead judgment.


Justice Misitura Bolaji-Yusuf

I have read the lead the rulings and the judgments of my learned brother, HARUNA SIMON TSAMMANI, JCA in the above consolidated petitions. I agree with his reasoning and conclusion in the ruling and judgment in each petition and adopt same as mine. I add a few words for emphasis.

Ground 1 of the petition is that the 2nd respondent was, at time of the election, not qualified to contest the election. The 1st complaint under this ground is that “the purported sponsorship of the 2nd and 3rd Respondents by the 4th Respondent was rendered invalid by reason of the 3rd Respondent knowingly allowing himself to be nominated as the Vice-Presidential Candidate whilst he was still a Senatorial Candidate for the Borno Central Constituency.” The controversy about the 3rd Respondent knowingly allowing himself to be nominated in more than one constituency was the subject matter in P.D.P V. INEC & ORS (2023) LPELR- 60457(SC). The Supreme Court per OKORO, JSC, AUGIE, JSC, OGUNWUMIJU, JSC and AGIM, JSC in their concurring opinions held that the 3rd respondent having withdrawn his nomination and personally delivered the notice of the withdrawal to his party (The respondent in this petition) on 6th July, 2022, he was no longer a candidate for the Borno Central Constituency Senatorial election and his subsequent nomination as the Vice-Presidential Candidate for the presidential election was not multiple nomination.

The opinion of the Supreme Court per OKORO, JSC, AUGIE, JSC, OGUNWUMIJU, JSC and AGIM, JSC is not a comment or observation made in passing. It is an exposition of the law on withdrawal of a candidate from an election and the allegation that the 3rd respondent knowingly allowed himself to be nominated as the Vice-Presidential Candidate whilst he was still a Senatorial Candidate for the Borno Central Constituency.

The 2nd complaint is that the 2nd respondent was at the time of the election not qualified to contest for the office of the president as he was fined the sum of $460,000 for an offence involving dishonesty, namely narcotics trafficking by the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, in Case no. 93C 4483 on 4/10/1993. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the order of forfeiture made by the court is a fine under Section 137(1) (d) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It is a settled principle of interpretation that where the words used in the provisions of the Constitution are clear and unambiguous, same must be given their plain and ordinary meaning unless to do so will lead to absurdity. The context in which the word “SENTENCE” is used in Section 137(1) (d) of the Constitution connotes a formal pronouncement awarding punishment after conviction for an offence. Conviction is a finding of guilt after an indictment, arraignment and trial.

Therefore, the words “sentence”, “imprisonment” and “fine” used in Section 137(1) (d) of the Constitution definitely connotes only a punishment imposed on a defendant following an indictment, trial and conviction for an offence.

In civil forfeiture or a non-conviction-based fo1eiture proceeding, the government only needs to show by preponderance of evidence that the property is a proceed of crime or was used to facilitate a crime. Criminal forfeiture on the other hand is seizure of a property connected with a crime after obtaining conviction and as part of sentence or punishment for the crime. Civil forfeiture is not a verdict of guilt after an indictment, trial and conviction.


A forfeiture order by a foreign court can only be accepted and recognized by a court in Nigeria for the purpose of Section 137(1) (d) of the Constitution if it is made after an indictment, trial and conviction and properly proved as required by Section 249 of the Evidence Act. In addition, the conviction and sentence must be shown to have been a product of due process of law. Compliance with due process of law has to be determine by the procedure and standard set by Section 36 (5) and (6) of our Constitution. The forfeiture order being relied on by the petitioners has not been shown to be a result of a process similar to the one set by our Constitution for trial of a defendant for an offence

The 3rd ground of the petition is that the 2nd respondent was not duly elected by majority of lawful votes cast at the election having not obtained 25o/o of the votes in FCT.

The interpretation of Section 134 (2) (b) of the Constitution being urged on us by the petitioners is an unjust manipulation of the Constitution to create inequality of votes. It negates the principles of Equality and Justice, democracy and social justice and participation of the people in their government enshrined in our Constitution. It strikes at the very foundation of our Constitution. It is capable of further dividing the citizens of this country. The politicians are good at using all sorts of means and sentiments to divide the citizens of this country. The interpretation being urged on us is their latest invention in that regard and unfortunately, they found a ready alliance in those who should know better. The Interpretation being urged on us is squarely against the letters and sprit of Our Constitution and it is hereby rejected.

Based on the above and the fuller reasons lucidly explained in the lead judgment, I too dismiss the petition.

Justice Moses Ugo

I had earlier read in draft the Rulings and Judgments of my learned brother Haruna Simon Tsammani, J.C.A. in this Consolidated Petition Numbers CA/PEPC/03/2023, CA/PEPC/04/2023 and CA/PEPC/05/2023. I am in complete agreement with His Lordship’s reasoning and conclusions on all of them.

First, for Petition No CA/PEPC/04/2023, I am of the very fixed view that the issues agitated by the petitioner therein concerning 3rd Respondent’s alleged disqualification for the 2023 Presidential election by reason of matters connected to and surrounding his running mate’s (4th Respondent’s) nomination and relinquishing of his earlier nomination by his party, the APC, for the Borno Central Senatorial District, having been settled on their merit by the Supreme Court in its judgment in Appeal No: SC7CV750172023. Peoples Democratic Party v. INEC & Ors in 3rd and 4th Respondent’s favour herein, with the apex court even holding that the said issues did not disqualify them, that decision constitutes issue estoppel.

In short, the allegation of the petitioners that INEC shut down its IREV to manipulate votes for 2nd Respondent just does not add up for me. If anything, the probabilities arising from the results INEC declared nationwide as X-rayed above rather seem to me to eloquently support INEC’s position that its inability to upload the polling unit results real- time as earlier promised was not deliberate but caused by technical issues outside its control that afflicted its e-transmission system, which issues it claims made it impossible for its e-transmission system to map the uploaded polling units results for the Presidential election to any specific State.



Justice Abba Mohammed

I have read before now the draft of the lead judgment just delivered by my learned brother, HARUNA SIMON TSAMMANI, JCA in the three consolidated Petitions Nos. CA/PEPC/03/2023, CA/PEPC/04/2023 and CA/PEPC/05/2023. I am in agreement with and I adopt all the reasons and conclusions stated therein, both in respect of the rulings on the objections and the merits of the three consolidated Petitions.

Having also found no merit in all three Petitions Nos. CA/PEPC/03/2023, CA/PEPC/04/2023 and CA/PEPC/05/2023, I join my learned brother Tsammani, JCA in dismissing all three Petitions. I abide by the consequential orders made in the lead judgment.

He just lost one yesterday

Good

Badassniggga:
I wan see how busybody Tinubu wan take deploy our forces into Niger when the Senate and almost all Nigerians already voted not to invade. Wetin lost for Nigeria hand wey Dem dey look for in Niger? So they're just going to send our boys to go and die there abi?

France and US should deploy their forces into Niger if e sure for them. Africans shouldn't be foolishly used like a tool by the West to kill each other like they set up Ukraine vs Russia.

As a signatory to the ECOWAS Treaty, the Nigerian Senate would eventually approve the deployment, if that's the decision of the entire ECOWAS.

We should pray that there should be no war because if there is war and it becomes elongated, most of our young and abled-bodied men will be deployed to join the war. Starting from NYSC

SeriouslySense:
This is a case of one bad decision leading to another. If INEC had not rigged the election, we won't be dealing with another bad decision.

Have they not heard or have they not seen, any country the USA touch crumbles?

None of the Presidential aspirants has said they scored more votes than PBAT.

The matter is before the Court to adjudicate and I think you should allow the Court to decide

As of now, the decision of ECOWAS stands

festacman:
Though Africa might be poor, I don't think these West African army generals are stupid robots to be controlled by a remote controller. Yes, they will obey last order from their C-in-Cs but they sure do have inputs on the way forward. And their professional inputs are critical.

But the Niger Junta on their own should show goodwill and good faith by at least meeting with ECOWAS and promising to return the country to democracy as soon as possible. Their citizens deserve peace of mind to carry on with their lives.

The ongoing grandstanding is not good for either sides.

If any President or Country says the situation in Niger does not concern him or his country, one day, such President or Country may need the help of ECOWAS or AU.

This is not PBAT war, it is a collective decision to fight for one of their own. Let us support our President now for the sake of our tomorrow.

The Junta should release President Bazoum and his family and see the embers of war fade away.

The decision not to let go of the President is the root cause of this war calls

I do not support war but let the Nigerien government release President Bazoum and his family, and give the world the timeline for their exit and handover to a civilian government

IT IS A WATER TOWER


What Is A Water Tower?
A water tower is a tall structure that holds a pressurized potable water system.

Most water towers store potable (drinkable) water and operate in conjunction with drinking water reservoirs.

Steel and concrete are two popular materials used in the construction of a water tower. Water towers have an interior coating to protect the water from contaminants in the outside materials. Most water towers are about 130 to 165 feet tall.

Water towers are located on high ground to provide enough pressure to send water into a municipal water supply with enough force to supply all the customers in the area. A water pressure of about 0.43 PSI (pounds per square inch) is provided by every foot of height in a water tower.

A water tower’s tank is large, holding 1,000,000 gallons of water or more. Most water towers are sized to be able to hold up to one day’s worth of water for the community they serve.

In times of peak demand, water can be supplied from the tower without electricity to supplement the water being produced by the treatment plant.
In times of peak demand, water can be supplied from the tower without electricity to supplement the water being produced by the treatment plant.
In some hilly regions, a water tower isn’t needed. Instead, a water tank can be placed on the highest hill.

What Are Water Towers Used For?
Water towers are used to store and deliver pressurized water to a community:

First, water is sourced (usually from a reservoir, river, or well) and treated by a water treatment plant to remove suspended sediment, microorganisms, and other pollutants.
In most towns, the water is then pressurized by a high-lift pump and sent to the community in primary feeder pipes.
If more water is produced than is needed, the leftover water will be sent into the water tower. Then, in times of peak demand, water can be supplied from the tower to supplement the water being produced instantly by the treatment plant.
Without a water tower, there wouldn’t be enough pressure to send water through the distribution pipes at a fast enough rate. Water towers use gravity-driven hydrostatic pressure, which forces water at speed through the system.

The majority of people on a city water supply will have never experienced reduced or no water pressure after switching on a faucet. That’s thanks to water towers, which almost guarantee a stable, adequate supply of water for all household uses.

Water towers can even work for a limited time without electricity because they just need gravity to send water through the distribution pipes. Electricity is eventually needed, however, because the pump used to refill the tower is usually electric.

A water tower is designed to minimize costs associated with water distribution, for two reasons:

Water towers reduce the quantity of pumping stations required in the region and allow for the centralization of pressurization and pumping
Water can be pumped up to the tower during off-peak times of the day, which reduces costs linked to running the pumps

It's now time to send that supreme court-imposed governor packing from the Douglas house

You have to work hard to replace Uzodinmma as the man has shown in recent times that he is a force to reckon with in Imo Politics. Can you observe that the LP Tsunami did not affect Imo State?

Godjone:
If the illiterates voters in the north are sensible, they will revolt against their leaders but they are not. Religion is been used to bamboozle them into submission and be used for electoral victory. It's a pity

They did revolted

There is a change of government in Zamfara. The current governor did not secure a second term

I pray they have a new lease of life in that State and the entire country, in general

maivd:
It was rigged and we all know it.

Provide proof of rigging so LP can use it to prosecute its case.

Massiveglory:
I don't want to believe such words came from the federal government of Nigeria, as fake news flies everywhere these days.

But if this truly came from the federal government, it is a sad day for democracy in Nigeria.

No to all form of distractions.

Obidients, eyes on the judiciary. These are the issues on ground.

1. Bola tinubu's drug case and $460,000 USD forfeiture.
2. 25% in FCT.
3. Forged certificate.
4. INEC breaking her laws .
5. Shettima's double nomination.
6. Election rigging.

Eyes on the ball. Ignore distraction and distract.

1. Bola tinubu's drug case and $460,000 USD forfeiture. - This has been dealt with severally in law and it will end in defeat for the LP
2. 25% in FCT. - This cannot stand the test of time. It is a loss for the LP
3. Forged certificate. - This should be followed through to the conclusion. But as it is a pre-election case, it may be technically set aside
4. INEC breaking her laws - This is dead on arrival. No impact on the declared result. INEC may be asked to follow the rules to the letter in future or there is a need to draft another ELECTORAL LAW to bridge the lacuna observed in the existing law
5. Shettima's double nomination. - This is 'no case' as the two forms were submitted on the same day. The issue of dates does not have much effect on the law in this case. The contract for the exchange of mandate was submitted to, acknowledged, and signed by INEC same day. No one runs foul of any law. You can sign a divorce letter and get married on the same day. Nothing negates the other, so far the processes are followed through.
6. Election rigging. - THIS IS WHERE THE LP SHOULD CONCENTRATE ITS FOCUS. Let the Party show proof that there was indeed RIGGING and her mandate STOLEN. Then, it can easily retrieve its mandate

OTHERWISE, Let LP say "Otilo"

Betanaija42moro:
The love is organic
Thunderous welcome.

If the election is repeated 100 times, I will still vote for him for 101 times.

That will be over voting Sir

They are protecting their business interest

Now I understood why he worked against Peter Obi. The South East contributed to his defeat at the PDP Primary. See the bolded below

“You know what he told Obi? He didn’t tell him that look, you came late and I have chosen somebody. He said it is the north that will produce the next president. That was how Obi left saying why is he wasting time. Ask him, that’s how he left PDP.”

“And that was what I saw at the convention ground. Within minutes, knowing that I was going to win, your sons were all the ones who did everything and sabotaged me. I said ok, no problem.

They stopped counting at Niger State. They are yet to count the bolded States
