BREAKING: Tribunal Declares PDP Candidate Winner Of Kogi Central Seat

The Kogi State Election Petition Tribunal has declared the candidate of PDP winner of Kogi Central seat.

News ToGo reports that the Tribunal overturned the victory of Sen. Abubakar Ohere in the Kogi Central Senatorial election. In a unanimous judgment delivered by Tribunal Chairman, Justice K. A. Orjiako, Natasha Akpoti-Uduagan has been declared the rightful winner of the February Senatorial election in Kogi Central.

The tribunal’s decision stemmed from irregularities in the election results. Justice Orjiako revealed that Ohere’s votes had been inflated in 9 polling units in Ajaokuta LGA, while Natasha’s votes were intentionally reduced in the same 9 polling units by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Additionally, results from 3 other polling units were deliberately omitted for Natasha in the same LGA. Following the necessary adjustments, Natasha Akpoti-Uduagan, representing the PDP, emerged as the victor with 54,074 votes, surpassing Ohere of the APC, who garnered 51,291 votes.

This ruling is of particular significance as Kogi Central is the district from which the state’s Governor, Yahaya Bello, hails. It underscores the importance of upholding the integrity of electoral processes.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
