Tinubu Tenders Academic Records, Sensitive Documents To Defend His Victory

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has revealed what Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is doing in Lagos ahead of the 2023 election.

News ToGo reports that Tinubu is the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and Atiku is that of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The two men and other contenders have began their campaigns ahead of the 2023 presidential contest.

Atiku has disclosed what Tinubu has been doing in Lagos as the election approaches. He spoke through the PDP presidential campaign council accusing Tinubu of shying away from the APC’s woeful performance and campaigning with federal projects in Lagos State.

A spokesperson of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign council, PCC, Charles Aniagwu, stated this in an interview on Channels TV on Monday. He faulted claims made by Tinubu that he built Lagos.

Aniagwu knocked APC for the level of insecurity that has made every part of the country to become a killing field. ”Those are the things APC can do.” He stated that the APC don’t want us to talk about it and they always run away from their national and abysmal failure.

“So, if he thinks that the federal roads that were built by the Federal Government from Ikeja through Anthony, of course having passed Maryland and then you pass through the Third Mainland Bridge completed by the (Ibrahim) Babangida administration to the Island.”

”Those are the things they would be showing us. We would remind them that those things were there even before Tinubu became the governor of Lagos State.”

“Since they (APC) have performed so woefully at the national level and they don’t want to stay with their records at the national level, we would accompany them on that train to Lagos so that we would discuss Lagos.”

He said the PDP administration established organizations such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). It introduced some bank reforms, and gathered some of the best brains in the country to work for the government.

Both Tinubu and Atiku believe that they would win the election. Peter Obi of Labour Party, LP, is also upbeat that the youths and others would vote for him to win. Nigerian voters will decide who wins on the day of the election.

News ToGo gathered that the President recently embarked on a journey from Abuja, Nigeria, en route to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, to partake in the COP28 Climate Summit, also known as the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC.

Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, had indicated on Tuesday that “Tinubu, who will be participating in the World Leaders’ Summit on December 1 and 2, 2023, will deliver a national statement outlining Nigeria’s position on various thematic issues, including renewable energy and climate financing.”

Ngelale further stated that the Nigerian delegation to COP28 will actively explore opportunities to establish new and deeper bilateral partnerships to facilitate the implementation of Nigeria’s Energy Transition, Article 6 Projects, Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes, Technology Transfer, Capacity Building, and Methane Mitigation initiatives.

Blow For PDP As Appeal Court Throws Away Case Filed By Its Candidate, Rules In Favour Of APC

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has thrown out the suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate seeking to be declared winner.

News ToGo gathered that the Court also upheld the victory of Hyacinth Alia, declaring him the duly elected governor of Benue state.

Alia, a Catholic priest, secured the win in the March governorship election, amassing 473,933 votes as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Titus Uba, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in Benue, challenged Alia’s victory by filing a petition. Uba alleged non-qualification against Deputy Governor Samuel Ode.

However, Justice Onyekachi Aja Otisi, in delivering the lead judgment, dismissed Uba’s claims, stating that he failed to establish forgery of INEC Form EC9 by Ode beyond a reasonable doubt, as required by law.

The Court of Appeal addressed the nature of the allegation, emphasizing that non-qualification is a pre-election matter, which can only be contested at a Federal High Court and not at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, where Uba presented his case. Moreover, the court highlighted that a suit challenging non-qualification must be instituted within 14 days of the occurrence, a timeline not adhered to by Uba.

The court also addressed Uba’s claim that the name of Governor Hyacinth Alia was not submitted to INEC by the APC within 180 days before the March 18 election. It held that this allegation could not stand, as the primary election producing Alia was ordered by a High Court and conducted within the stipulated period.

In the final analysis, Justice Otisi concluded that Uba’s appeal against the Benue State Election Petition Tribunal judgment lacked merit.

4 Governors The Court Suddenly Sacked And Their Next Plans (FULL LIST)

Nigerian courts have delivered verdicts that led to the ousting of four state governors, just nine months after their elections.

News ToGo reports that the court decisions also deemed one gubernatorial election inconclusive. Below are details of the dismissed governors and the grounds for their removal:

1. Abba Kabir Yusuf (NNPP):

  • Election Background: Yusuf of the NNPP defeated APC’s Nasir Gawuna, securing 1,019,602 votes against Gawuna’s 890,705 votes.
  • Court Decision: The Election Petitions Tribunal invalidated Yusuf’s election, declaring 165,663 votes as invalid due to lack of signatures or stamps on the ballot papers.
  • Outcome: The court ordered the revocation of Yusuf’s certificate of return, instructing a fresh one be issued to Gawuna. The Court of Appeal in Abuja upheld this decision.
  • Next step: Yusuf plans to challenge the decision at the Supreme Court.

2. Abdullahi Sule (APC):

  • Election Background: Sule of the APC, the Nasarawa State Governor, faced a challenge from David Ombugadu of the PDP.
  • Court Decision: The Election Petitions Tribunal deducted incorrect votes added to Sule, reinstating votes reduced from Ombugadu, based on certified copies of polling unit results (forms EC8A).
  • Current Status: The Court of Appeal in Abuja reserved judgment on the case.

3. Dauda Lawal (PDP):

  • Election Background: Lawal of the PDP defeated APC’s Bello Matawalle in the Zamfara State governorship election.
  • Court Decision: The Court of Appeal declared the election inconclusive, ordering new elections in two local governments. The court upheld Matawalle’s claim of Lawal’s invalid election.
  • Governor’s Response: Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence, is reviewing the judgment before deciding on the next course of action while Governor Lawal is optimistic he would win the rerun elections.

4. Caleb Mutfwang (PDP):

  • Election Background: Mutfwang faced a challenge from Nentawe Goshwe of the APC, alleging improper nomination procedures.
  • Court Decision: The tribunal dismissed Goshwe’s petition for lacking merit. However, the Court of Appeal ruled that Mutfwang was not legitimately sponsored by the PDP, citing a failure to adhere to a court order.
  • Next Steps: Mutfwang is directing his legal team to submit an appeal to the Supreme Court, expressing optimism about reinstating his mandate.
