Tinubu must cut cost of Governance since Nigerians are suffering subsidy cut now Says SERAP. No need for ministers of state, No need for too much special advisers( They really don’t do much)spend that money on schools and hospitals and whittle down some MDA’s
A lot of explanations needs to be done.
There was so much misappropriation of funds in the last regime.
It’s not right that no arrest was made or questioning by the EFCC.
The former ( AG ) and others were granted bail.
Why?
The documents were tendered on Monday by the lawyer representing the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, Audu Anuga SAN, who urged the court to admit them as part of his client’s evidence.
The Presidential Election Petitions Court sitting in Abuja, on Monday, admitted in evidence certified true copies of INEC Results Viewing Portal (IReV) reports for Adamawa (21 LGAs), Ogun (20LGAs), Ekiti (16 LGAs), Rivers (19 LGAs) and Akwa Ibom states (25 LGAs).
He also tendered blurred results obtained from the IReV portal for Ogun State.
The application made by Obi’s legal team was unanimously opposed by the legal team of the Independent National Electoral Commission, President Bola Tinubu, Kashim Shettima and the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The respondents said they would advance their reasons for objecting to the documents at their final written address before the judgement.
The court led by Justice Haruna Tsammani noted the objections of the respondents but eventually admitted the documents as evidence while marking them as exhibits.
Another lawyer representing Obi, Afuba Peter SAN, equally tendered certified true copies of Form EC40GBU for Niger state (10 LGAs), Osun state ( 7 LGAs) ( Edo (3 LGAs), Sokoto states(5 LGAs) and asked the court to admit them.
The forms show the number of registered voters and polling units where elections were either cancelled or did not take place.
The respondents again opposed the tendering of the electoral documents but the PEPC still admitted them as Obi’s evidence.
The petitioners subsequently called for adjournment so as to file more documents.
The prayers were granted and the case was further adjourned to Tuesday.
THE WHISTLER reports that the flagbearer of the Labour Party, Obi, has so far presented a lawyer (who spoke on a US District Court judgement on Tinubu’s bank account), Senior Reporter/Editor, Lucky Ukpewo from Channels Television as well as a software engineer to substantiate alleged non-ompliance to the Electoral Act during the elections by INEC.
He is disputing the polls in over 18,000 polling units.

Tinubu Signs Electricity Act 2023, to de-monopolise Nigerian electricity generation, Empowers individual, States, Private Companies To Generate Power...
de-monopolise Nigerian electricity generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity at the national level.
This new law will empower states, companies, and individuals to generate, transmit and distribute electricity in the country.
The Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu, has signed the 2023 Electricity Act which is a replacement for the Electricity and Power Sector Reform Act of 2005 into a law.
The newly enacted law will de-monopolise Nigerian electricity generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity at the national level.
This new law will empower states, companies, and individuals to generate, transmit and distribute electricity in the country.
Recall that the Electricity Act 2023 was initially passed by lawmakers in July 2022 to allow the states to issue licences to private investors who can operate mini-grids and power plants within the state.
But the Act precludes interstate and transnational electricity distribution.
The Nigerian Energy Regulatory Commission (NERC) would be able to govern the energy industry within Nigeria under the Electricity Act 2023, without prejudice to the states' authority to pass laws, create electricity markets, and regulate those markets.
The Act specifies how NERC can delegate regulatory authority to state regulators once they are constituted. NERC will continue to regulate energy business conducted solely in those states until those states' electricity market regulations are passed.
For the time being, Lagos, Edo, and Kaduna states already have power market regulations in place and may begin regulating their markets. However, NERC will regulate in states where such regulations do not exist. NERC will continue to carry out cross-border rules, regulating generation and transmission across states.
The Act also empowers parliamentarians to carry out oversight tasks and exercise control over the NESI through the Senate and House Committees on Power. This is should be done regardless of any government Ministry's supervisory authority over government-owned firms or other entities engaged in the Nigerian energy supply industry.
Electricity generation licensees are required by NERC to meet renewable generation obligations. The Act requires electricity generating firms to either create power from renewable energy sources, purchase power generated from renewable energy, or purchase any instrument representing renewable energy generation.
The Electricity Act also mandates the imposition of renewable purchase obligations on distribution or supply licensees.
