The Lagos Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Mr Olusegun Agbaje has described allegations of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, conniving with the head of Lagos Parks and Garden Mr Musiliu Akinsanya otherwise called MC Oluomo a card-carrying member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as nonsensical.

Agbaje who ascribed Nigeria’s major challenge to do-or-die politicians that are all out to undermine the electoral process reiterate that he would never jeopardize the image of the electoral umpire.

Speaking during a stakeholder meeting at the INEC’s head office in Lagos on Thursday, Agbaje who insisted that he doesn’t toil with his integrity said:” Lagos has had its share of election violence, we cannot afford it again.

“We must work together for peaceful elections in Lagos.

“The former INEC chairman Professor Atairu Jega knows me well likewise the incumbent INEC chairman Professor Mahmood Yakubu.

” I have nothing to do the Lagos head of Parks and Gardens.

“Electoral Officers , EOs of each local government would be in charge of vehicles that would convey ad-hoc staff and electoral material materials to the polling units, not me.


“People don’t know me. I am from a very credible family and I will never do anything that would jeopardize the image of INEC or make Nigerians think. I will never be part of it.

This issue of Naira crisis is not about vote buying, it is a strategy by the Fulanis to retain power at all cost.

Tinubu kicked against open grazing. Has Atiku said anything about Fulani terrorism and open grazing?

They want to protect the Fulani herdsmen by all means. Emergence of Atiku will lay negative precedence and the Fulanis will continue to dominate under the guise of naira swap and the likes.

All they want is Atiku or interim government. we were all shouting, accusing the north of domination and ethnic cleansing but today we fighting for them to dominate and continue their impunity through the herdsmen.

chyll:
APC and Fake Life.

Fake Resignation Letter
Fake Bishop
Fake Primaries
Fake Naira Notes
Fake Empathy
Fake Candidates

For the people still pretending, dem no dey telling person when hunger, insecurity, discrimination visit you.

If they think they are popular, we challenge them to hold free and credible elections.

I remember 2018 vividly but this appeal is just an academic excersise.That is my ooinion

It is easier for a camel to enter the hole of a needle than fir the AC and SC to upturn the majority judgement that sacked Adeleke. Even if INEC has a 3000 ground appeal it is just an academic exercise and a waste of time if the AC.Tbe case holds no water at the AC and SC

The Independent National Electoral Commission has appealed the judgement of the Election Petition Tribunal that nullified the victory of Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, in the July 16 governorship poll.

In the Notice of Appeal dated 30th January 2023, filed before the Court of Appeal, Akure Division, obtained in Osogbo on Wednesday, the commission listed 44 grounds of appeal and asked the court, to set aside the judgement of the Tribunal.

The appellant also asked the court to dismiss the petition filed by All Progressives Congress and its candidate at the poll, Adegboyega Oyetola, for lacking in merit.

A Tribunal panel led by Justice Tertsea Kume had nullified Adeleke’s victory and declared Oyetola as the duly elected governor at the poll in its judgement of January 27, 2023.


The panel said over-voting was established in 744 polling units and deducted the excess votes from the votes garnered by Adeleke and Oyetola.

But in a minority judgement delivered by another member of the panel, Justice A. Ogbuli, he dismissed APC’s petition and upheld Adeleke’s victory at the poll.

Also in the Notice of Appeal signed by counsel to INEC, Prof. Paul Ananaba (SAN) and 17 others, the Commission challenged the decision of the Tribunal on the grounds that the panel erred in law by claiming that Adeleke did not score the majority of the lawful votes, saying the petitioners only called two witnesses who did not prove that the PDP candidate did not win the election.


The INEC also said the Tribunal erred in law by using a table contained in the final written address of the petitioners to determine overvoting and deducted votes scored by the respondent.

The electoral body also dismissed the Tribunal’s claim that because it issued different accreditation reports, its conduct was tantamount to tampering with official documents.

It also said the allegation that it tampered with the official records was a criminal allegation that must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, noting that there was no proof it tampered with any records before the panel.

With the scarcity of new Naira notes and fuel unabated in many parts of the country, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again appealled to Nigerians to remain calm as the government and relevant agencies continue to work out solutions.

Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, Asiwaju Tinubu said he sympathises with the people especially the downtrodden who have been made to bear the brunt of the new naira policy by the Central Bank and irregular supply of petrol that have combined to inflict avoidable pains on the masses.

He commends the NNPC Limited for the fuel supply relief being enjoyed in the Federal Capital Territory and urges the company to step up its act to bring relief round the country.

He also urges the CBN not to be dogmatic in the deadline it has fixed for the transition from old Naira notes to the new one, especially as the unintended consequence of the policy has been massive pain on our people.

The former governor said he is distressed by news of cash strapped farmers having to sell their products excessively cheap to avoid losing all. Such dispiriting experience in the short term may be a disincentive to our hardworking farmers.

The former Governor of Lagos assured Nigerians that the current challenges will soon be over and pleaded that people should avoid anything capable of causing unrest in the country even when they are justifiably angry.

"This is a challenging period in the life of our country when our people are made to stay on the line for hours to get fuel and even get their own money from the banks.

"I empathise with Nigerians across the country especially the poor masses who have been made to bear the brunt and pains of the CBN Naira policy and fuel scarcity the most.

“While government continues to work to solve these problems, let's stay calm, maintain the peace and continue to shun and avoid any act capable of causing civil unrest and disharmony.

"What the opposition and enemies of democracy want is to create a state of national siege and tension that can disrupt the coming general elections and create an atmosphere of strife in our country.

“We must say no to them. We must be resolute and stand firm to protect our democracy by ensuring we hold our elections in a peaceful and orderly manner.

"I am in this race to bring renewed hope and prosperity to all Nigerians.

“There are no challenges that will be difficult for us as a people to surmount when we stand in unity of purpose.

“When you elect me, I will work to ensure security, economic prosperity, national unity and cohesion and we will together build a country that will be a source of joy to us all and a pride to every black person everywhere in the world," Tinubu said.

Benue Is Atiku 100% - Dr. Oche Otorkpa

After what happened today in Gboko any doubt about the acceptance of H.E Atiku and Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa across Benue State should be completely erased.

The massive reception accorded the unifier at the Palace of the Tor Tiv, a home coming for our Presidential candidate is a clear indication that the good people of Benue state know the difference between a pretender and performer.

This is just a royal visitation, not the rally. Benue is Atiku 100% and a vote for H.E Atiku and Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa is a vote for two good men who mean well for our people.

As one we can get it done!!!

Dr. Oche Otorkpa (FRSPH-UK).
