It was a credible election and we will continue to savour in the victory but in the process too, we will extend the hand of friendship for the purpose of nation-building and reconciliation. “Our electoral Act and the constitution have both provided a window for whoever is dissatisfied with...

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has alleged that the 6 Division of the Nigerian Army has concluded plans to disrupt the March 9, 2019 Governorship and State Assembly elections in the state. Governor Wike while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt said there are plans to stir violence in some areas within Rivers. “The 6 Division has mapped out local government areas where they will initiate violence to ensure that elections are not conducted as they did during the Presidential and National Assembly elections. They are plotting to cause a crisis, so that the Governorship and State Assembly will be cancelled. That is what the 6 Division is planning” he said. He said despite the militarisation of the elections, there are areas that some political parties cannot win because they are the strongholds of the PDP. “Did APC win the Presidential election in Rivers State?

Armed policemen have reportedly stopped a protest march being organized by a group of activist in Lagos. The activists under the auspicies, Orange movement, had decided to stage a rally this morning to appeal to residents of the state to come out enmass to vote against the Bola Tinubu candidate in the March 9th governorship election.

Tinubu, a former governor of the state, is in support of APC governorship candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. The group had gathered in front of the Airport Hotel, Ikeja early this morning, to kick off their protest march.

The All Progressives Grand Alliance governorship candidate in Zamfara State, Alhaji Sani Shinkafi, has ejected all the Internally Displaced Persons IDPs taking shelter in his houses in Shinkafi for voting for President Buhari during the last Saturday elections.

These are people who had to leave their villages due to insecurity caused by a government that could not provide such basic necessity to them, yet they went and sold their votes at the last elections trying to bring back the same gang,” he claimed

Speaking to state house correspondents yesterday February 27th, Oshiomole who has been at loggerheads with Saraki over the controversial way he emerged senate president, said Saraki's defeat is a welcomed development, adding that residents of Kwara state have buried Saraki and his political career. “As much as we want to be magnanimous in victory, there are a couple of things that have happened that show that the Nigerian people know how to reward those who are extremely arrogant. People who came to the Senate with less than 100,000 votes, and began to hold the country to ransom; their own people have recalled them home. “While we were saying that we would impeach them, their people said they would rather bury them.

President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un abruptly broke off their nuclear summit in Vietnam and cancelled a planned signing ceremony today because North Korea wanted sanctions lifted in their entirety but the US "couldn't do that". "Sometimes you have to walk and I think that was one of these times. We had some options. At this time we decided not to do any of the options. We’ll see where that goes" Trump said at a press conference that was moved forward by almost two hours after the talks collapsed. The president indicated that the discussions stalled due to Kim's demand that all sanctions be lifted in exchange for concessions on Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. "We haven't given up anything. They were willing to give us areas but not the ones we wanted" Trump said. The summit ended with a handshake, according to Trump who characterized the talks as "very friendly." Trump said Kim has a "certain vis...

How can one reject the result of an uncompleted game? The process of an election does not end until the final collation and announcement of results. (2) Is the PDP rejecting the totality of the results nationwide? If yes, does it mean they also reject the results that would be announced later by INEC which may indicate that they have won in certain areas? Are they also rejecting the results already announced that indicate they won in some areas? For instance, are they rejecting the results ...
