Amosun fails to deliver LG to Akinlade as Dapo Abiodun floors APM in Abeokuta South

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dapo Abiodun, has defeated the anointed candidate of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Hon Abdulkabir Adekunle Akinlade of the Allied People's Movement (APM) in Abeokuta South local government.

Abiodun polled a total number of 19,414 votes in Abeokuta South local government where Amosun voted, while Akinlade scored 18,767 votes, Nigerian Tribune reports.

Legit.ng gathers that the local government result was announced by the local government collation officer, Dr Sikiru Oluwole.

Governor Amosun is the senator-elect for Ogun Central senatorial district on the platform of AP. But he is supporting the candidature of Akinlade.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the governorship election result released on social media by a senior special assistant to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, Uba Danzainab, was dismissed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The electoral umpire dismissed the result in a statement signed by the resident electoral commissioner in Kano state, Riskuwa Arabu-Shehu.

Arabu-Shehu said the governorship and state assembly election was still going on at wards and local government area levels.

According to him, INEC or a representative of the commission is empowered by law to collate, transmit, declare or announce the outcome of any election as contained in section 27 of Electoral Act 2010 as amended.

Danzainab was said to have published on his Facebook page on Saturday, March 9, that APC won 13 local government areas in the gubernatorial election.

The general public was urged to wait for the official announcement of the final result by the commission just as the commission warned them to desist from making provocative statements and actions that could lead to crisis in the state.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
