To join APC go too hard for Nyesom Wike now.

All those he vilified while they were in PDP with him have all left him to join APC.

Joining APC now would be suicidal to him.

hisexcellency34:
Wike was looking for a puppet governor

PROPHETmichael:
Dey play! Rivers is the only state that the governor is not the leader of the party.

Badtman:
Where’s your home state ? Or just Fenuwugate

Flexyup:
The point is did adeleke work in the state? Did we win the trust of his people? If no, make davido go sleep.

Lekby25:

Multiple Grammy-nominated Nigerian artist David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed what he believes will happen if his uncle and Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, loses his re-election bid in 2026.

Davido stated this in a post on X on Wednesday while reacting to an X user’s comment.

The user, @Wewe_of_Lagos, had claimed that Davido would be the artist to compose campaign songs for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027 if Governor Adeleke failed to secure a second term.

He wrote, “If e lose na Davido go compose song for APC during 2027 campaign.”

Responding, Davido said if Adeleke loses the election, his family can simply return to their multi-billion-dollar business ventures.

He wrote, “Or we can just go back to our multi billion dollar company…”

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a suit filed by the Osun State Government seeking to compel the Federal Government to release local government allocations allegedly withheld from the state’s 30 councils.

A seven-member panel of the apex court, in a majority decision of six to one, ruled that the case was incompetent. Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Mohammed Idris held that Osun State lacked the legal standing to invoke the Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction on behalf of the local government councils.

The court explained that its original jurisdiction applies strictly to disputes between the Federal Government and a state, not between the Federal Government and local councils, which are recognised as independent bodies capable of instituting their own actions. Consequently, the Justices found that only the councils themselves could challenge the alleged withholding of funds.

Justice Idris also rejected the Osun Attorney-General’s argument that the matter qualified as public interest litigation, stressing that procedural requirements could not be sidestepped.

Although the panel upheld the preliminary objection raised by the Attorney-General of the Federation, it nonetheless urged the Federal Government to fully implement earlier judgments granting financial autonomy to all 774 local government areas in Nigeria.

In its suit, marked SC/CV/775/2025, Osun had asked for ten reliefs, including declarations that the Attorney-General of the Federation must comply with lower court rulings affirming the legitimacy of democratically elected council officials following the 22 February 2025 elections.

The state also sought an order directing the FG to release all statutory allocations allegedly withheld, and a perpetual injunction restraining the Federal Government from diverting or suspending council funds.

Counsel for Osun State, Musibau Adetunbi, SAN, told the court that despite the pending case, the Attorney-General of the Federation allegedly directed the release of the disputed funds to sacked APC chairmen and councillors, adding that only a restraining order prevented the transfer.

The Federal Government, however, argued that the state had no valid claim and accused it of deliberately frustrating the former APC council officials, whose tenure expired in October.

FG’s counsel, Chief Akin Olujimi, SAN, maintained that the matter was not one the Supreme Court could entertain and accused the plaintiff of abusing judicial process.

After considering the submissions, the Supreme Court dismissed the suit for want of competence.
