Turaki - led pdp faction lost their Sumpreme court case . SIMPLE BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THIS JUDGEMENT MEANS The Supreme Court said: The PDP convention in Ibadan last year is cancelled. It doesn’t count. Who lost ? Tanimu Turaki and his team having seyi mankinde Why did they lose? 3 main reasons: 1. They disobeyed court orders : A judge said don’t do convention ,twice. They did it 2. Sule Lamido wanted to run for Chairman. They didn’t give him nomination form. That’s illegal. 3. They skipped steps You must do state congresses before national convention. They didn’t. 4. Who is in charge of PDP now? For now, the caretaker committee backed by Wike runs PDP. The one led by Abdulrahman Mohammed + Samuel Anyanwu. 5. What this means for 2027 elections PDP is in trouble if they don’t fix this fast. If PDP doesn’t do a new, legal convention soon, they might not have candidates for President, Governor, Senate, etc. 6. Can Turaki appeal again? No. Supreme Court is the final bus stop. Any shock 😮 or surprise from today pdp judgement?

Those who initially claimed that Status Quo Ante Bellum was in their favour and were attacking INEC for wrongly interpreting it are now happy that the Supreme Court voided it 😆. Pure hypocrisy! I hope you know that the Supreme Court had returned the case to the Federal High Court for trial Continuation. By the time the judgement is delivered, you guys must not wail again o. However, my advice to those contesting elections in 2027 is to look for a stable platform, ADC is still in coma!

Reacting to the Ibadan gathering of the so-called opposition I made it clear that we must Draw A Line Between Opposition And Competition. Democracy Has A Standard And That Standard Is About Competion. An Opposition Devoid Of Competition, Organization, Coherence and Credibility Is Problematic. The Opposition Stands On A sinking Ground. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Stands On A Solid Ground Of Performance And Outcomes , that can be defended. @OfficialAPCNg @JohnFanimokun @DavidsOffor @BBCAfrica

Exposed! Senator Ireti Kingibe Collected $65,000 For A Contract That Never Existed, Dragged To ICPC As Businessman Alleges She Used Her Office To Defraud Him ...She Refunded Only N50m Of N118m, Threatened To Arrest Victim When He Demanded His Balance Senator Ireti Kingibe, the representative of the Federal Capital Territory in the 10th National Assembly, has been petitioned to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over allegations that she collected $65,000, equivalent to N118 million at the time, from a businessman to facilitate a Federal Government contract that the petitioner alleges never existed, subsequently denied receiving the money, then reluctantly refunded only N50 million, and allegedly threatened to have the businessman arrested when he insisted on recovering the outstanding N68 million balance. The petition, dated April 27, 2026, was filed by lawyer Elochukwu Obi on behalf of his client, Mr. Nonso Okafor, and addressed to the office of the lCPC Chairman, requesting an urgent investigation to determine whether criminal infractions and abuse of public office have occurred, and seeking the recovery of the outstanding funds. According to the petition, the arrangement began in October 2024 when Mr. Osereme Christian Omofoma, Senator Kingibe's Senior Legislative Aide, approached the businessman. The SLA allegedly pleaded with Okafor "to help him raise $100,000 for the Senator to enable her to meet urgent financial needs," promising that the money would be repaid in full or, alternatively, that the senator would facilitate the award of Federal Government contracts to Okafor through which he would recoup his money. The petition stated that Okafor was initially reluctant to participate in the arrangement, "especially as he did not have the huge amount of money that was demanded at that time." However, the SLA allegedly exerted "enormous pressure" on the businessman, who was eventually had to borrow from friends in order to meet up with the cash demand." Okafor managed to raise $65,000 of the $100,000 initially demanded, borrowing the funds "at exorbitant interest rates," a detail that underscores the financial strain the arrangement placed on the businessman even before the alleged fraud was discovered. The petition stated that the $65,000 was paid to Senator Kingibe in two tranches in October 2024. The businessman was told that the promised contract award would materialise within a few weeks of payment. "After the payment, our client futilely waited far beyond the envisaged timeframe for the promised contracts, but nothing materialised" the petition stated. After several months of waiting, the petition alleged, "it dawned on our client that there was no contract for him and that he had simply been misled!" At this point, Okafor began requesting a refund of his money. When the businessman sought his money back, the senator's response, according to the petition, shifted from evasiveness to outright denial. "The Senator not only refused to refund the money, but she also began to actively claim that she did not receive any money from our client" the petition stated. The denial, if accurate, represents a significant escalation, as it would mean the senator was not merely failing to fulfil a promise but was denying the existence of the transaction itself, despite the businessman having records of the Unable to communicate directly with the senator after being cut off, Okafor continued to press for his refund through the SLA, Omofoma. When Okafor expressed his determination to involve law enforcement, the response from the senator's side shifted again. "Upon our client's expression of his determination to get the law enforcement involved in the matter, they reluctantly decided to unilaterally pay only N50,000,000 out of the total $65,000 (N118,000,000)" the petition stated. This payment was made in May 2025.

Governor Adeleke hired Sally Tibbot Consulting Limited to conduct a staff audit and payroll validation exercise. The contract was signed in May 2023 to investigate payroll in Osun State. The result was out and Osun State Govt that hired them rejected the result..... The fight now is about payment of their own service as agreed upon. Should they be paid?🤣🤣

Iran announced total cancellation of all peace negotiations with the U.S. The peace deal is over. Iran wants to war to resume. Iran is targeting to total dismantling of the U.S. hegemony in the Middle East region. The market will face severe consequences for this action.

The LANGUAGE of Journalism is different, but those not TRAINED as journalists won't still understand. Headlines must be in PRESENT TENSE except when headline starts with words like HOW, WHY. Headlines must not end with FULL STOP too (I once told someone who is a blogger this, but up till now, he hasn't changed). In journalism, there is what is called 5Ws and H - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. These are the essential questions journalists must answer in any news story to ensure comprehensive, accurate, and objective reporting. The 5Ws and H must be answered in the LEAD (first paragraph) or at most, the first and second paragraph. This is why news stories are written, using the INVERTED PYRAMID method (most critical information must come first). Also, even when a man has been charged to court for a crime, a journalist must always use the word ALLEGED or ACCUSED in reporting the news. For instance, journalists must not write "XYX faces trial for stealing N100m," it must be "XYZ faces trial for allegedly stealing N100m." Most importantly, personal opinions of journalists must not reflect in his reports. It is for journalists to present reports with facts, it is for the public to hold opinions after reading the reports. To guide and protect these principles of journalism, there are regulatory authorities like the Nigerian Press Council and National Broadcasting Commission, just as there are regulatory authorities in other sectors. Therefore, holding people, especially public office holders accountable is important, but in doing so, practicing journalists must uphold the ethics and rules of the profession. And to be able to do this, training is important.

@OlayinkaLere Judiciary money should go to judiciary. Executive money should go to executive and legislature money should go to legislature. Why is the son of general manager building house for the judiciary with their money rolling out drum to celebrate.
