 BREAKING: INEC declares PDP’s Adeleke winner of Osun poll

Senator Ademola Adeleke 



The Peoples Democratic Party's senator Ademola Adeleke has been proclaimed the victor of the Osun governorship race by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

In a hotly contested campaign, Adeleke defeated the incumbent, Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, with a total of 403,371 votes, according to Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, the returning officer for the election and vice chancellor of the University of Lagos.

Adeleke Ademola Jackson Nurudeen, of the PDP, having complied with the law's requirements, is hereby pronounced the winner and he is re-elected, he announced on behalf of the INEC chairman.

The PDP won 17 of the state's 30 local government areas, while the APC took 13 of them, according to the total votes tallied by the electoral umpire.

Atakumosa West, Olorunda, Ilesa West, Obokun, Oriade, Orolu, Ife North, Irepodun, and Ejigbo LGAs were won by the PDP in addition to Ede North and Ede South.

Ayedire, Ifedayo, Ife Central, Ayedaade, Iwo, Olaoluwa, Isokan, Atakumosa East, Irewole, Ife South, and Ife East LGAs were won by the APC, in contrast.

How it took place
No less than 15 political parties participated in the Osun governorship election, contrary to popular belief that it was a two-horse contest between Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and Senator Adeleke.

Accord Party's Akin Ogunbiyi, the Labour Party's Lasun Yusuff, the Social Democratic Party's Oyegoke Omigbodun, the African Action Congress' Segun Awojide, the Action Democratic Party's Kehinde Atanda, the Allied Peoples Movement's Awoyemi Lukuman, the All Peoples Party's Adebayo Elisha, and the Boot Party's Adeleke Adedapo.

Additionally running in the election were Rasaq Saliu of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Abede Samuel of the National Rescue Movement, Ayowole Adedeji of the Peoples Redemption Party, Ademola Adeseye of the Young Peoples Party, and Adesuyi Olufemi of the Zenith Labour Party.

There was a significant voter turnout and the election, which was held in 3,763 units across the state's 30 LGAs, was relatively calm.

A total of 1,479,595 Permanent Voter Cards were gathered before to the election out of the 1,955,657 registered voters in the state.

In addition to the military and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, had sent roughly 21,000 police officers to maintain calm in the state.

However, the poll was marked by widespread vote-buying, which was denounced by certain candidates and civil society organizations.

 Our governorship candidate, Fr. Hyacinth Alia, is still running in Benue APC. The All Progressives Congress in Benue State has stated that Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, a Catholic priest, will continue to be the party's candidate for governor in the state despite the criticisms that have followed his nomination. Some governorship candidates running on the platforms of the APC and the state PDP chapter had criticized the procedure that produced the priest, and the PDP had taken the APC to court. In contrast to the persistent lies peddled by the state's PDP-led administration, Alia remains the party's standard bearer, according to Austin Agada, the state party chairman, who unveiled the party's governorship candidate on Tuesday in Makurdi. "I want to confirm to everyone's hearing and to the people of Benue that Fr. Hyacinth Alia is the candidate of the APC in the state," Agada stated. "Just God can change his name as the candidate of our great party, and we ...

FG meets IPMAN, MOMAN, fuel price hike imminent

By Victoryking nc
 FG meets IPMAN, MOMAN; impending fuel price increase On Wednesday, the Federal Government announced that it was currently speaking with oil marketers on matters related to the price of Premium Motor Spirit, more commonly known as gasoline, fuel lines, and the payment of bridging claims, among other things, in the downstream oil industry. As oil marketers had frequently laid the responsibility for the ongoing fuel lines in various regions of Nigeria on the prohibitive price of PMS, it was credibly reported in Abuja that the meeting might result in an increase in the price of gasoline at the pump. As the government was being urged to progressively raise the price of PMS, the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria joined forces with its counterparts in the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria and the Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association on Wednesday. As some IPMAN members had previously achieved this by selling over the N165/litre government-approved price,...

Obasanjo said that selecting a vice president in 1999 was a mistake.

 Obasanjo said that selecting a vice president in 1999 was a mistake. Obasenjo Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president, has claimed that selecting a running mate for the 1999 election was a mistake. On Saturday, June 25, he made the remark while speaking in Abeokuta at a leadership and entrepreneurship mentorship event with chosen school pupils. In the 2023 presidential election, Obasanjo, who was elected president in 1999 and 2003, competed alongside Atiku Abubakar, the PDP's current presidential flagbearer. Both broke down under his leadership. Obasanjo said during the leadership program "I don't pretend that I don't make mistakes; I did. But God has never let me down, and that is something that has happened to me. Furthermore, that is crucial. For instance, choosing a number two when I was running for president was one of the errors I made. But God delivered me from it because it was an honest mistake.
