On Saturday, the commission is set to conduct by-elections and rerun elections in 26 states across the federation.

In nine states, there will be elections for two senators, four members of the House of Representatives, and three members of the state Houses of Assembly. These by-elections aim to fill vacancies left by members who either passed away or resigned from their memberships in the national and state assemblies.

In various states, re-run elections are scheduled for specific constituencies or polling stations as directed by electoral appeal tribunals.

The commission outlined that these elections will address vacancies in three senatorial districts, 17 federal and 28 state constituencies, spanning 80 local government areas, 575 registration areas/wards, and 8,934 polling units. This involves 4,904,627 registered voters, out of which 4,613,291 have Permanent Voters’ Cards.

With the task of distributing election supplies to three key locations in the country’s geopolitical zones — the North East, South East, and South West — INEC Chairman emphasized the substantial nature of this assignment, requiring the support of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF).

Yakubu stated, “In handling such a huge national assignment, the commission cannot do it alone. That is why we seek to mobilize every national asset, including NAF. It is in realization of this objective that the law empowers the commission to seek the support of the security, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies in the delivery of materials and the protection of election officials, as clearly provided for in Section 27(3) of the Electoral Act 2022.”

He added, “The elections are holding this weekend. Working with the Central Bank of Nigeria, materials are being delivered to many locations.”

Yakubu clarified that “the evacuation of the materials from the focal airports to the States where the election will hold will be handled by the Commission and the Central Bank of Nigeria, as has been the standard practice.” Furthermore, he informed the Chief of the Air Staff about the precise locations and quantities of materials to be airlifted.

Prominent Lagos socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as ChiefPriest, has asserted that the Igbo community has secured direct access to President Bola Tinubu via his son, Seyi. Speaking to supporters in Imo State in his capacity as the state director for the City Boy Movement—a political support group championing Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda—ChiefPriest urged people of Igbo descent to back Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign. Highlighting a surge in APC registrations, he emphasized a lifestyle-oriented approach to political mobilization, declaring total support for Asiwaju’s mandate.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In his address, ChiefPriest stated:

“We Igbos now have access to Mr President through his son, Seyi Tinubu. That’s why we’re doing everything to make sure he’s re-elected. Thousands of Imolites are trooping in for registration for APC. Ndi Imo don’t just love the City Boys Movement, they believe in it. Let’s do politics with lifestyle. On Asiwaju’s mandate, we shall stand. Imo is APC. Here, it’s zero competition.”

Meanwhile, a Kenyan woman named Hellen Ati has publicly confronted ChiefPriest once again over his alleged failure to provide financial support for a child she claims he fathered. Reacting via Instagram to the socialite’s recent appearance at Peller’s wedding—where he reportedly gifted the couple ₦10 million—Hellen criticized him for spending heavily on others while her child allegedly struggles to meet basic needs. She expressed severe emotional and financial distress, noting that her earnings from hours of streaming on TikTok can be as low as $1, leaving her hard-pressed to even cover her house rent.

Ultimate Twist: APC Caves In And Drops Shocking Election Petition Against Adeleke.

Published

on

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially dropped its legal challenge against the re-election of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke just a day after the petition was made public at the election tribunal in Osogbo.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The lawyer responsible for the filing, Oluseyi Oyagbile, confirmed on Tuesday that he discontinued the case following fresh instructions from party leadership and his clients. The withdrawal comes in the wake of an internal dispute within the party; another legal faction headed by Abiodun Layonu (SAN) had previously distanced itself from the lawsuit, asserting that neither the party nor its standard-bearer, Bola Oyebamiji, authorized a challenge against the August 15 election outcome.

Oyagbile noted that before officially dropping the suit, he requested formal directives via WhatsApp from party leaders to clear up any ambiguity and prevent further friction. Two separate petitions—one attributed to the APC and another to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)—had surfaced on the tribunal’s notice board on Monday, both of which initially faced denials regarding their authorization from the respective parties. With the APC’s petition now dismissed, the ongoing legal scrutiny over the election rests on the remaining petition.
