INEC disregards court ruling over Lagos House of Reps seat won by our candidate - PDP raises alarm

- The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accused INEC of trying to create crisis in Lagos over an already won election

- The PDP says its candidate won the election at Ajeromi/Ifelodun federal constituency, but that INEC is disobeying a court ruling

- The party insists that even the election is held multiple times, its candidate would still win

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) late Tuesday, April 23, accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of plotting crisis in Lagos state by disobeying the order of the Federal High Court.

The party said the court had ruled that that INEC declare the results of the February 23, 2019, National Assembly elections for Ajeromi/Ifelodun federal constituency, which was clearly won by its candidate, Hon Rita Orji.

According to the PDP, INEC's insistence on conducting a supplementary poll for an already concluded election, in defiance of the ruling of the court, has confirmed fears that it has been compromised to create situations to subvert the will of the people and award the Ajeromi/Ifelodun constituency seat to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, the national spokesperson of the PDP, the party has "been made aware of vicious designs by an APC cabal in Lagos to foist their stooge on the Ajeromi/Ifelodun federal constituency seat and use him to divert resources and opportunities meant for the welfare of the masses in the constituency, to finance their wasteful lifestyle.

"This practically informs the desperation by the APC to forcefully take over the Ajeromi/Ifelodun seat; a malicious project that has failed and will always fail."

The party said it is not in doubt that Ajeromi/Ifelodun federal constituency has always been a stronghold of the PDP.

It added that even if the election was conducted 10 times, its candidate would win because of her popularity.

"The PDP therefore insists that the already established victory of our candidate, Hon Rita Orji, in the February 23, 2019, National Assembly, must be declared in accordance with the will of the people.

"Anything short of this is a willful assault on our democratic process," the party said.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently said the alleged admission by the INEC's presiding officers in Borno and Yobe states that the result of Saturday, February 23, presidential election was transmitted to the server of the commission is a vindication that the polls were rigged in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The party insisted that more confessions were imminent, noting that the wheel of justice would turn the tide in favour of the former vice president Atiku Abubakar.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

Former Maritime Agency Boss, Buba Galadima, Accuses AMCON Of Witch-hunt After Property Takeover

A former Director-General of the Nigeria Maritime Agency, Buba Galadima, has accused the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria of witch-hunt after the agency took possession of his business and assets on Tuesday in Abuja. Galadima, an ardent critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, claimed that he did not borrow money or have unpaid debt with Unity Bank, which lodged a complaint against him and occasioned AMCON’s move on Tuesday. The properties taken over include House No. 15, Addis Ababa Crescent, Wuse Zone 4, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and House No. 4, Bangui Street, Wuse 2, also in Abuja. Reacting to the situation, Galadima said, “This is an attempt to disgrace and break me down. This is injustice and an attempt to humiliate me. "But I am unbreakable and they can never silence me. They sacked me and over 50 people that sleep in the apartment. "We don’t know where to go. We will remain on the streets. We will remain on the streets until God provi
