2023 Elections

INEC Postpones Governorship And State Assembly Elections To March 18

The governorship and state assembly polls have been postponed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The elections, initially scheduled to hold on March 11, has been postponed to March 18, 2023.

The postponement is due to the inability of the commission to promptly commence reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines utilized during the February 25 presidential election to enable their use in the state elections.

INEC was earlier restrained from tampering with the information embedded in the BVAS machines until due inspection was conducted and Certified True Copies (CTC) issued to candidates who are challenging the outcome of the presidential election.

The commission had convinced the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal to vary its order granting Peter Obi of the Labour Party and PDP’s Atiku Abubakar permission to inspect the election materials on the premise that it had to reconfigure the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) for the conduction of the polls this Saturday.

Tinubu’s Victory: Accept Defeat – Lawmaker Begs Obi, Atiku

A lawmaker in Ondo State, Mr Sunday Olajide begged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and his Labour Party counterpart, Mr Peter Obi, to accept defeat.
This is as the duo are contesting the result of the Feb. 25 Presidential election in which INEC declared Bola Tinubu as winner.
Olajide, representing Akure South Constituency 2 in the Ondo State House of Assembly, on Wednesday in Akure, said that though every Nigerian had the constitutional right to seek redress of an injury in court, it would be statesmanship if the duo could let go.
“The duo of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi should accept the outcome of the election.
 
“Going to the court will amount to a mere academic exercise and will achieve nothing.
 
“Sen. Bola Tinubu won the election fair and square, and the results of the presidential election were a true reflection of Nigerians’ sincere votes,” he stated.
Olajide said that Nigerians had elected Tinubu and Sen. Kashim Shettima as their most preferred leaders for the next administration.
The lawmaker also congratulated the President-elect and the Vice President-elect for the hard-fought victory at the just concluded presidential elections.
“The duo has demonstrated once more that they are dogged fighters in our quest for the establishment of a just and egalitarian society.
 
“I have no doubt that you will ride on the crest of the momentum of this triumph to lead our motherland to greatness and prosperity,” Olajide said.

I Didn’t Sleep With Colleague’s Husband – Actress Wumi Toriola Debunks Rumours

Wumi Toriola, the popular Nollywood actress, has reacted to some rumours about her.

The actress, on Wednesday, debunked rumours that she slept with the husband of a colleague in the movie industry.

The rumours started when a blogger, Gistlover, shared a picture of Toriola and actress Toyin Abraham on its Instagram page.

Debunking the claim, she wrote on her Instagram page, “This morning, my attention was called to a diabolical comment on Gistlover blog that I “slept with a colleague’s husband.

Not only is the comment false, it is diabolical, evil and intended to soil my name.

Not only did I not sleep with the said person’s present husband, I did not have any intimate relationship with her former husband as well.

I do not know why this person’s fans are fixated on continuous tarnishing of my image and bent on causing continuous rancour, but I do know that this is the last time I will be responding to anything regarding this person.

I have moved on. I am focusing only on the future and just want to make movies. By the way, my next production is Queen Lateefah for the big platforms. That is what I will be putting my energy on henceforth, not responding to people whose only goal is to see my downfall.

I will not fall or fail as along as God is on the throne. God is the greatest and to him alone will I continue to owe my sustenance.

Wumi Toriola.”
