Naija News reports that Osborne secured all 55 votes cast in the Obiozara exercise, facing no opposition after his only rival, Jenny Umahi, was disqualified.
The APC congress committee, led by Alphonsus Nwali, disqualified Jenny Umahi for failing to register on the party’s ongoing online membership platform. With her removal, Osborne’s victory was confirmed, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) monitored the process.
In his acceptance speech, Osborne highlighted his priorities, focusing on health, agriculture, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development.
“We will establish cottage agricultural centres and introduce mechanised farming to boost the local agricultural sector,” he said. He also pledged to improve road networks linking farms to markets, promising, “We will construct roads to markets and farmlands using concrete to ensure durability for over 50 years.”
Osborne thanked Governor Francis Nwifuru for nominating him and appreciated his father’s prayers and his siblings’ support during the contest.
Several local leaders and stakeholders have congratulated him, including Mrs. Chioma Nweze, Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Community Development (South East), and Francis Ori, the State Commissioner for Housing.
All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Abdulmumini Jibrin has alleged that members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) are intentionally orchestrating unrest and turmoil in Kano as the 2027 general elections approach. This accusation follows provocative incidents where symbols like the APC broom and caps bearing President Bola Tinubu’s signature were set ablaze, prompting retaliatory burning of Kwankwansiya caps linked to NDC vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
During an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Jibrin asserted that the opposition is resorting to these tactics because they recognize they are facing certain defeat in the state, particularly within the critical Kano South swing zone. He emphasized that the opposition’s actions were a deliberate strategy to trigger a crisis right before the start of the campaign, assuring the public that the ruling party will not allow those efforts to succeed.
The newly re-elected Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, recently embarked on a series of political consultations in Abuja, starting with a visit to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. Lere Olayinka, the media aide to the FCT minister, shared a photograph on social media documenting the meeting, which featured Adeleke and Wike shaking hands while displaying the governor’s certificate of return.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
This engagement followed closely on the heels of a closed-door meeting between Governor Adeleke and President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, where the governor presented his official return documents and expressed appreciation regarding the recent electoral process. During their discussions, President Tinubu advised the governor to foster an environment of unity and refrain from marginalizing political opponents, emphasizing that winning an election represents a democratic mandate rather than a conquest.
President Bola Tinubu has firmly criticized former vice-presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, dismissing his recent proposal to reinstate the petrol subsidy regime as a fundamental lack of understanding of economic management and governance.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Upon taking office, the current administration discontinued the fuel subsidy and floated the national currency to address structural economic imbalances. While these sweeping policy changes triggered widespread financial pressures and heightened the cost of living for average citizens, the government maintains that the reforms were essential for long-term fiscal stability.
Addressing critics from the Presidential Villa, President Tinubu defended the decision by highlighting its immediate impact on sub-national finances. He pointed out that prior to the intervention, numerous state governments struggled to meet monthly obligations to workers and retirees. According to the administration, the savings generated from ending the subsidy have since enabled states to consistently service salary arrears and pension commitments, framing the policy shift as a vital corrective measure for the nation’s broader financial framework.
