New Facts Emerge as Judgement Day Nears: Tribunal Declares Peter Obi the Winner over Tinubu, Citing Abuja’s 25 Percent Rule.

As the judgement day draws close, a fresh fact has emerged regarding the declaration of Peter Obi as the winner over Tinubu due to the Abuja 25 percent requirement. The subject of debate revolves around whether a candidate needs to secure 25% of the votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to be declared the winner of Nigeria’s presidential election held on 25th February 2023.

Nigeria consists of 36 states and the federal capital territory. Only Peter Obi of the Labour Party received 25% of the vote in the FCT, obtaining about 59%. However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the ruling party’s Bola Tinubu as the winner. Peter Obi has challenged this outcome, and the tribunal started hearing his case on 8th May.

According to Nigerian law, in a multi-candidate presidential election, the winner must have the highest number of votes overall and at least one-quarter of the votes in two-thirds of all states and the FCT. An 18th July Facebook post claims that the court declared Peter Obi as the winner because he met the 25% threshold. The claim attributes its source to “Arise TV news,” a Nigerian-owned television station broadcast from the UK and the USA.

Multiple reposts on Facebook support this claim, but the actual decision of the election tribunal remains uncertain.

On 4th July, local media reported that Inec presented one of its three witnesses and concluded its defense against the allegations made by Obi. As of the time of publication, this is the latest update on the case. We did not find any other reports on the matter from credible media sources, including Arise TV, stating that the elections tribunal declared Obi the winner of the presidential election. If such a significant verdict were true, it would have garnered attention in both local and international headlines. However, it appears to be false information.

“ How can you pardon your son and ignore other people that have been there for years,That is abuse of power” – Donald Trump to Biden

Published

on

Former President Donald Trump has expressed his dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son while others who committed similar crimes remain in prison. Trump didn’t mince words, stating:

“How can you pardon your son and ignore other people that have been there for years? That is abuse of power.”

He went on to emphasize the unfairness of the situation, adding:

“Your son committed a crime, the same crime that other people committed, and they have been in prison for years. What happens to them after you free your son? That is abuse of power. People should be treated the same in America.”

Trump’s remarks highlight a broader concern about equal treatment under the law and the potential misuse of presidential power. His critique implies that Biden’s actions set a precedent that undermines the justice system, sparking debates across political and social platforms.

The issue has stirred significant controversy, with many questioning whether the pardon reflects favoritism. While Biden’s supporters may argue that his decision was personal, critics like Trump see it as an affront to the principles of fairness and justice in America.

“Why will flavour call kcee copy copy akaria” –  these men are doing well in their lane, and because I am biased towards Flavour’s music, I will not speak ill of Kcee’s efforts, fan said

Published

Kcee released an album titled Mr Versatile around July 2024. If he didn’t react to Flavour’s “copy copy akaria”, I wouldn’t know he released an album this year.

I enjoy the music of both illustrious sons of Ala Igbo. If I were at a wedding reception or inside the bedroom, I would hear more of Flavour’s songs. At a club, I would hear a mixture of Kcee and Flavour’s songs. If I were at a burial, I would hear Flavour’s songs more.

If I sampled the opinions of 30 random men and women between 40 and 60 years old who they preferred between both artists, many would say Flavour.

When Kcee called Flavour a needle in the ocean of things that matter, I assume he may be referring to another thing and not music. When it comes to music, Flavour is the ocean.

Kcee made an important point by stating no one should gatekeep the Igbo culture, and I agree with him. Anyone who feels their creative juice connects to their Igbo culture should create authentic sounds that will remain evergreen in our hearts and not belittle others for trying.

Before Flavour released his 2005 album N’abania, KC Presh (Kcee and Presh) had toured the country after their Star Quest success in 2002. Both men have come a long way and invested so much in their crafts.

Both men are doing well in their lane, and because I am biased towards Flavour’s music, I will not speak ill of Kcee’s efforts. We all have access to the Internet, streaming and concert numbers. You can be the judge.

Today, judging from current statistics of active musicians, no Igbo artist is more prominent than Flavour of Africa.

You may not like a man because you don’t have access to him, or both of you don’t roll, but don’t discredit his hard work.
