Sheriff Oborevwori from parading himself anyhow he wants but the court was clear that he was not qualified and ought not to have been cleared. Spade NG News however gathered that the Judgement granted all but one the below prayers requested by Olorogun David Edevbie in it’s ruling today in Abuja. THE COURT JUDGEMENT 1. A DECLARATION that the 1st Defendant is not qualified to participate and/or be declared the winner of the 2nd Defendant’s Delta State Governorship Primary elections which…
By ABEL JOHNGOLD ORHERUATA The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja today disqualified Delta State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship candidate, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborowheri on certificate issues. The court ruled that Oborevwori was not qualified to contest in the first place. It means that his participation in the PDP governorship Primaries was an aberration. Not satisfied with the outcome of the primary, Olorogun David Edevbie had filed a suit against Oborevwori and the PDP. Edevbie posited that the PDP violated its constitution in the process of the Delta State congress, which produced Oborevwori. In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/795/2022, Edevbie prayed the court…

Last month, Ifeanyi Okowa, the University of Ibadan trained physician was nominated by Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as his running-mate. It was like fate having a continuous ball with Ika, Okowa’s homeland. Let’s briefly suspend the inner ethnographic divisions within Ikaland, particularly between Owa and Agbor. Infact, the old Agbor Road is the dividing line between Owa and Agbor such that Ika North East (Owa) Local Government is on Southern divide while Ika South (Agbor) lies on the northern side. Outsiders may mistake them all as Agbor, Agbor being the old colonial divisional…

The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) due to the disagreement between its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has divided party leaders into two factions. Recall that the crisis rocking the PDP started after its presidential primaries, where Atiku defeated Wike, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, Governor Bala Mohammed, and many others to clinch the opposition party’s ticket. Loyalists of Governor Wike have called for the resignation of the PDP National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, stressing that the party’s presidential candidate, party chairman, and Board of Trustees (BoT) chairman, Walid Jubrin , cannot all come…
Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s real name is: Yekini Amoda Ogunlere from Iragbiji Osun State. That much is what is contained in his Primary and Secondary school certificates and that’s why he has refused to tender them before INEC. It also contains his real age. This whole ‘brouhaha’ is needless. I recommend Ola Rotimi’s classic play – ‘The Gods Are Not To Blame’ for everyone who hasn’t read it. There is a divine pre-destination in the affairs of men. That’s the major thrust of that play. And I’m convinced that is what is playing out on the subject matter of BAT. Not…
