Supreme Court Holds Judgment In PDP’s Appeal Over Ogun Governorship Election
It is reported that Justice Okoro declared this decision following the presentation of arguments by both parties…..CONTNUE READING....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Governor Abiodun contested the recent election under the All Progressives Congress (APC) banner, while Adebutu ran on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform. Subsequent to the election results, Adebutu and the PDP appealed to the Supreme Court, seeking a directive for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct fresh elections in the allegedly cancelled 99 polling units.
Lead counsel for the appellants, Chief Chris Uche SAN, argued that INEC did not deny the cancellation of elections in these 99 polling units. Uche asserted that Governor Abiodun and the APC were declared winners prematurely and unlawfully, as fresh elections were not conducted in these units.
Uche drew the attention of the Supreme Court to the election results, where Governor Abiodun and APC secured victory by a slim margin of 13,000 votes. He highlighted that the votes from the 99 polling units surpassed 40,000, a number capable of altering the election outcome.
Uche emphasized that the Ogun governorship poll could not be deemed conclusive without conducting elections in these 99 units. Therefore, he urged the Supreme Court to overturn the decisions of the Ogun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal and the Court of Appeal, which validated the results of the gubernatorial election.
However, INEC’s counsel, Abiodun Owonikoko, SAN, advocated for the dismissal of the appeal. Lead counsel for the APC, Tayo Oyetibo SAN, also supported the dismissal, arguing that the election had concluded definitively. Oyetibo discredited the documents presented by the appellants, claiming election cancellations, as they lacked essential details and failed to meet the requirements of admissibility under the Electoral Act.
The second respondent aligned with the positions of INEC and APC. On November 24, 2023, the Appeal Court, Lagos Division, delivered a split decision affirming Dapo Abiodun’s reelection as the duly elected governor of Ogun State, dismissing the appeal filed by the PDP and its governorship candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu.

“YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR MONEY AGAIN!” Ubi Franklin Drops A Bombshell On The Brutal Financial Reality Of The Music Industry!.
Prominent music executive Ubi Franklin has opened up about the daunting financial realities of the industry during his appearance on the EC podcast, labeling the music business as the single riskiest venture he has ever undertaken. Franklin revealed that pushing a single track to the public can easily demand an investment of up to ₦100 million, noting that dropping the song is merely the starting line.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to him, maintaining momentum requires heavy spending long after release—even if a track successfully goes viral on TikTok—because modern music consumers have exceptionally short attention spans and can lose interest overnight. Highlighting the volatile nature of the industry, Franklin warned that sinking massive amounts of capital into a song offers zero guarantee of a financial return, making it an intensely unpredictable gamble for executives and investors alike.
Reflecting on the grueling economics of the trade, Franklin stated: “Music is the riskiest business I’ve ever done. You need ₦100m to promote one song. Even if TikTok carries it, you still need money to keep it on the charts because people have short attention spans, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get your money back.”

POLICE MOVE IN: Reality Star Tacha Arrested At Her Lagos Home Over Cybercrime Unit Summons

According to Best of Nollywood (BON) CEO and movie producer Seun Oloketuyi, the reality star was picked up at her Ajah residence on Sunday morning after allegedly ignoring three separate police invitations issued by the Nigeria Police National Cyber Crime Centre (NPF-NCCC) between May and August 2026.

“HE HAD NEVER TREATED ME THAT WAY”: Hanga Breaks Silence On The Toxic Fallout With Kwankwaso.
Senator Rufai Sani Hanga (Kano Central) has detailed the breakdown of his political relationship with Rabiu Kwankwaso, the NDC vice-presidential candidate, in an interview with Dan’uwa Rano TV.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The rift largely stemmed from Hanga’s massive constituency empowerment program, where he distributed vehicles, rice, fertilizers, and other items. According to Hanga, Kwankwaso grew unhappy with his rising public profile and the scale of the initiatives. Tensions peaked when Hanga hosted the distribution event at a venue associated with Kwankwaso; though the former governor initially agreed to attend, he arrived looking displeased, left for prayers, and never returned.
Hanga recounted that Kwankwaso later confronted him, complaining that the event was designed to court public praise and dismissing the small portion of items allocated to him. Despite Hanga apologizing, he felt deeply disrespected—especially after previous instances where Kwankwaso pressured him to allocate empowerment resources outside his senatorial district.
Concluding that mutual respect had vanished and that Kwankwaso’s dissatisfaction ultimately cost him his return ticket, Hanga remarked, “He has treated others this way, but he had never done it to me until that moment.”
