WHY WE LOST EDO ELECTION – LABOUR PARTY

WHY WE LOST EDO ELECTION – LABOUR PARTY

Mr Kelly Ogbalo, Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in Edo State, has alleged that the party would have won the state governorship election if it was conducted in a free and fair manner.

Ogbalo disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Benin on Monday.

He claimed that the election was marred by serious irregularities, including open vote-buying that the security agencies failed to check.

Ogbalo alleged that: “Labour Party won the election but was not allowed to take possession.

Minimum wage: Labour, FG sign MoU on salaries adjustments
“What I mean by that is that the election was marred with serious irregularities; there was open vote buying. The security agencies failed to check this anomaly.

“So in such a way where votes were bought and with manipulation of results here and there. What do you expect?

When asked if LP would challenge the result in court, Ogbalo said the party had yet to call a state council meeting to take a position on the matter.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on Sept. 22 declared Sen. Monday Okpebholo of the APC winner of the election.

Okpebholo polled 291,667 votes to defeat Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who scored 247,274 votes while LP’s candidate, Mr Olumide Akpata, came third with 22,763 votes. (NAN)

    SUPREME COURT DISMISSES ANYANWU’S BID TO STAY EXECUTION

    SUPREME COURT DISMISSES ANYANWU’S BID TO STAY EXECUTION The Supreme Court has dismissed the request brought before it by Samuel Anyanwu seeking to stay the execution of the judgment of the Court of Appeal that removed him as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The apex court on Monday threw out the request when Anyanwu in a dramatic turn applied for withdrawal of the request. Justice Musa Awani Aba-Aji dismissed the request when Kingsley Njemanze, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, withdrew the request on behalf of his client. The Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal in Enugu had in concurrent judgments removed Anyanwu as PDP National Secretary. However, at Monday’s proceedings, Anyanwu backed down, urging the Supreme Court to allow him withdraw the bid to stop the execution of the judgments against. Meanwhile, hearing in the substantive matter is going on before the five-man panel of justices headed by Justice Aba-Aji. The Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu had last December upheld a Federal High Court decision that sacked Anyanwu as the National Secretary of the PDP. The appellate court subsequently upheld Chief Sunday Ude-Okoye as the substantive National Secretary of the main opposition party. In the lead judgment delivered by Justice Ridwan Abdullahi, the Court of Appeal held that Anyanwu‘s appeal was incompetent and lacking in merit. According to the appellate court, the appellant violated the PDP constitution by laying claim to the national secretary position having contested and emerged as the party’s candidate in the 2024 governorship election in Imo State. Dissatisfied, Anyanwu in February approached the apex court to set aside the judgment of the two lower courts, and recognize him as the authentic National Secretary of the PDP. He also filed a motion for accelerated hearing, as well as an abridgment of time on grounds of the crucial role of the office of national secretary.

    APC A CONGREGATION OF STRANGE BEDFELLOWS – BODE GEORGE Chief Olabode George, former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has described the ruling All Progressives Party (APC) as a congregation of strange bird fellows while reacting to the recent drama played out in Lagos State Assembly. Recall that reinstated Lagos state Assembly Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa scored a major win after his controversial return to his post, and he has President Bola Tinubu to thank. On Monday, he was reinstated as Speaker, 49 days after 36 lawmakers removed him from office. Mr Obasa was nominated by a lawmaker, Noheem Adams, representing Eti-Osa I, after the former Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, resigned from her position. Ms Meranda was voted into office following Mr Obasa’s removal on 13 January. The lawmakers accused Mr Obasa of high-handedness, poor leadership, financial misappropriation, among other allegations.
