16/09/2022

The lawyers who sued Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and his running mate Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed to court in an attempt to stop their presidential rally in Lagos in October were unsuccessful.

Ten lawyers who have hauled Peter Obi and his running mate before the court have demanded an order to halt the " Forward Ever Rally" set for October 1st, 2022. Since then, many people, mainly Peter Obi fans, have been waiting for the court's ruling.

Several questions were raised in the suit for the court to consider in giving the order sought if it was considered in the positive.

One of the questions raised was whether, based on the intent of Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution and what occurred during the EndSARS protest in October 2020, which resulted in the destruction of lives and property, the defendants can hide under the guise of the Right to peaceful assembly to endorse the EndSARS Anniversary rally, dubbed the " Forward Ever Rally" and scheduled to take place on October 1st.

The plaintiffs stated that the event is being held to commemorate the EndSARS protest anniversary, and they requested that the rally be halted in the interest of order and public safety.

However, the plaintiffs' efforts to obtain an ex parte injunction on the case were unsuccessful.

According to a report published by Sahara Reporters on Friday, the judge who ruled over the case, Justice Osiagor, stated that there was no proof linking the Obidatti rally to the EndSARS protest.

The case was rescheduled for September 23rd for further hearings, and maybe the court will deliver its final decision on the matter then.

"Citizens in Nigeria are no longer at ease with the show."

"The show is supposed to uplift the poor rather than make the rich richer."

"We need to have more poor members of the house," he said.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo is the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization and according to the Igbo apex group, the former governor of Kano State Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is not a presidential candidate. Mr. Alex Ogbonnia who is the National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo stated this in his response to a remark made by New Nigeria Peoples Party's presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

It will be recalled that Kwankwaso previously stated that the Southeast region is not politically mature to produce the next President in 2023. Kwankwaso had stated that Peter Obi who is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party would have to be his running mate and not otherwise.

Mr. Alex Ogbonnia condemned Kwankwaso's statement and noted that the presidential candidate of NNPP cannot assess the Igbos. In Ogbonnia's opinion, anyone who has done well in business and has lived in other parts of the country can rule the country, Nigeria.

As stated by the National Publicity Secretary of the Igbo apex group, an Igbo president would do better because they understand the country.

In Alex's words:

"Nigeria should not doubt the Igbo nation's ability to govern Nigeria if, given the chance, Kwankwaso's description is unfortunate, he is unfamiliar with Igbo and is unable to assess its people. A presidential candidate will not make such a remark."

"As far as I am concerned, Igbo have been the pillar that has helped this country survive this far, he should understand that anyone who can succeed in business and live in any part of the can be president."

Alex further submitted that when it comes to presidential issues, it can not be said that Rabiu Kwankwaso is the best material the country could have. "But for our parochial nature and the type of politics we play in Nigeria, I don't believe our competence should ever be called into question," Alex added.

12/06/2022

The former general secretary of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, in the person of Chief Frank Kokori, has claimed that it is the presidential flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, might be the only living politician who could be capable of breaking up the grip which some evil cabals have on the country.

Findings from the Punch Newspapers on Sunday, 12th of June, 2022, revealed that Kokori who is an APC elder in Delta state, made this known while speaking with some correspondents in his residence in Ovu, Ethiope East.

While speaking in his residence, Chief Kokori commended the hard work of the ex governor of Lagos State for being able to emerge victorious at the presidential primaries, as well as being the representative of the party in the forthcoming elections stating that he is of the opinion that there is no better candidate to pick up the mantle from the incubent president who could take on the Cabal and finally rescue the country.

Speaking further, and in a bid to ease the tension of the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket that has been causing some unrest in the party, the renowned labour activist warned Bola Tinubu not to succumb to any pressure be mounted on him to pick a Muslim as his running mate.

He buttressed his point by making it known that such a decision could be regarded as insensitive and detrimental to the peace and unity of the Nation. Chief Kokori opined that Tinubu should try as much as possible to select a Northern Christian and support such candidate come 2023.

Conclusively, Kokori lamented that these evil cabals have really affected and almost destroyed the socio-economic state of the country. However, he is of the belief that Tinubu might be the person that would stand up to these evil cabals and put them in their rightful places.
