BREAKING: Court of Appeal Holds Judgment on Nasarawa Governorship

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has, today, reserved judgment in the appeal filed by Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, challenging the tribunal’s decision that declared David Ombugadu of the Peoples Democratic Party as the winner of the state’s governorship election.
The tribunal, led by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi, had, in a split judgment, declared Ombugadu the winner, citing evidence from various polling units showing he had the majority of valid votes.
Governor Sule appealed the decision, arguing that the tribunal misapplied the law and relied on the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machine without proper demonstration.
Sule’s counsel, Wole Olanipekun SAN, contended that there was no evidence of overvoting in the INEC Form EC8AS, yet the tribunal nullified the election.
On the other hand, Ombugadu’s lawyer, Kanu Agabi SAN, asserted that the tribunal properly analyzed the BVAS, urging the court to dismiss the appeal.
The Court of Appeal has reserved judgment on the matter.

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
