INEC DEREGISTERS PASTOR KRIS OKOJIE'S FRESH DEMOCRATIC PARTY, BUT SOWORE'S PARTY AAC AMONGST THE 18 SUCCESSFUL ONES REMAINING

Pastor Kris Okotie

Ultra suave man of God, Pastor Kris Okotie's dream of becoming the President of Nigeria according to how his Lord had revealed to him, might have met a slight snag for now, as the platform, the FDP, the Pastor of the Household of God Church prefers to ride on for his dream to come true, has been deregistered by the Electoral umpire, that is the INEC as was announced by the chairman of the commission recently.

His political party, the Fresh Democratic Party [FDP] was one of the 75 that was deregistered by the INEC for not meeting certain provisions. Although one of the 75 political parties have instituted a case against the INEC for their deregisteration.

According to the statements made by the INEC chairman, the commission deregistered the 74 political parties
because they breached requirements for party registration.

One of the breaches given by him was the failure to win at least 25 per cent of the votes cast in one state of the federation in a presidential election or 25 per cent of the votes cast in one local government area of a state in a governorship election.

Another reason was the failure to win at least one ward in a chairmanship election, one seat in the National Assembly or state houses of assembly elections or one seat in a councillorship election.

While explaining that 75 parties did not satisfy the requirements, he said that one of the parties went to court, saying its fate would be determined by the judiciary.

According to Yakubu, Nigeria now has 18 parties as the Booth Party registered after the 2019 election would continue to exist.

He said, “In order to implement the provision of the Fourth Alteration to the constitution, the commission carried out an assessment of political parties to determine compliance with the requirements for their registration.

“Similarly, following the conclusion of the 2019 general elections, including court-ordered re-runs arising from litigation, the commission was able to determine the performance of political parties in the elections.

“In addition, they were also assessed on the basis of their performance in the area council elections in the Federal Capital Territory which coincided with the 2019 general elections. It should be noted that the FCT is the only part of the country where INEC is empowered by the constitution to conduct LG elections.

So now, there are only 18 political parties registered in Nigeria and one of them is Omoyele Sowore's African Action Congress AAC. 

BREAKING NEWS-FEMI OTEDOLA ACCEPTS PDP'S TICKET FOR LAGOS STATE!!!!!

Gbammm!!!! Everyone please sit up!!!!! The real battle is set to start now!!!! The news that has filtered in is one that is a banger of extra proportion, infact it might probably be the biggest news right now and most probably the biggest news this year too.

The billionaire oil and gas mogul, by name Femi Otedola whose dad at one point in Lagos was the Governor of the state of excellence, according to the unconfirmed gist has accepted the (PDP) opposition's offer to be their Gubernatorial candidate to view for Lagos come 2019!!!!

With that acceptance alone, the space has been turned over its head!!!! Just imagine a battle between Femi Otedola and Akinwunmi Ambode and all other contenders? Now the this is the REAL battle!!!!

But the TRUTH is.......... It's FAKE NEWS. Please quote that Maestro's Media says it. Maybe after this write up another decision can be taken oooooo. But we can tell you all categorically it's Fake news!!!! 

BUT SERIOUSLY SERIOUS, WHAT IF THE DANCING SENATOR WINS? WOULD THE HEAVENS FALL???

Senator Ademola Adeleke 

The question above is massive and it needs a response and a concise one for that matter. And we think it is good and worth it if we ask the question all over again but this time around, putting the name of the distinguished dancing Senator there now. So we ask again--what if Senator Ademola Adeleke wins the upcoming Osun State Gubernatorial/Governorship election come September 22, 2018, a date that is fast approaching and would soon hit us!!!

Would the heavens fall????? Would Zeus leave Mount Olympus in disagreement? Would Thor in anger denounce his power and reject his hammer?

This upcoming election after that of Ekiti State, where the incumbent, Fayose's candidate and the PDP were beaten and with the outcome still somewhat marred by alleged misconducts, still yet to be examined for merits or dismerits by the courts; this Osun State upcoming election is one that is being keenly anticipated and watched by all and sundry.

The outgoing 2 terms Governor of the state, Ogbeni (Mr.) Rauf Aregbesola, a very close confidante of the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and top chieftain of the APC himself is very concerned about this election, as he would want at all cost for his lieutenant, better still his former Chief of Staff-Gboyega Oyetola, the person who has occupied the very exact, same position the now super minister, Honourable Minister for Power, Works & Housing, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola held prior to him becoming the successful Governor of Lagos State, where he went on to serve 2 exemplary terms.

So maybe, Gboyega Oyetola having served successfully as the Chief of Staff already, is seen to have learnt very well and having the requisite experience, both in Lagos and Osun State so to speak, so the next step for him is to become the Governor of Osun State, if he wins the upcoming election! But all of this easy permutations being conjured up by many, about him sliding on to victory so easily are only feasible in an ideal situation, where all things are supposedly equal!!! Are all things ideal or equal?

2 major contenders, in the persons of Senator Ademola Adeleke of PDP and Senator Iyiola Omisore of SDP, a former Deputy Governor of the state, both of who are seemingly well grounded too, are well arrayed against the easy emergence of Gboyega Oyetola of the APC as the next Governor of the beloved State of Osun.

But the candidate we are focusing on today is none other than, "Mr. Dancer extraordinaire himself", the world's best hot stepper in the person of Senator Ademola Adeleke, who seem to have more of the chance for an upset than all others. One of the reasons for that thought majorly, is because he once did what was thought impossible, when against all odds, he won an election against the candidate of the sitting Governor then to win the Senatorial seat he presently occupies.

Let us even quickly digress a bit, there's the very hilarious viral video of a twerking man, whose face though hidden but has a back that looked somewhat like that of our distinguished Senator (a striking resemblance at that). If it can be proven that the video was that of the Senator who was on the floor, shockingly and hilariously twerking madly away shaking his massive behind, then unfortunately, that person is not fit to be a Local Government Chairman, not to talk of him being a Governor. But alas, people have come out to say it was not the Senator!!!

So back to more serious matters, Is it possible for Adeleke to win the upcoming election in Osun State? Our answer to that is that, nothing is impossible again and to ignore him, just because he has been tagged as somewhat "unserious", "highly comedic", doesn't take away from the fact that he could win, especially if care is not taken!!!!

There is the growing alliance in and outside the APC, open and subtle against the national leader of the party in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaban of Borgu. Though, Gboyega Oyetola, whether he be or he is not a family member of Asiwaju, the fact is that he is eminently qualified in all ramifications, but even at that????? Just out of spite, the votes that normally should accrue to him on merit, has become somewhat divided!!! So the campaign slogan of the opposition now is, "to reduce Asiwaju's influence on all ramifications at all cost!

With the APC somewhat depleted due to unnecessary in-fighting, it has allowed an in-road someway for the likes of Adeleke and Omisore, to slide in and the truth is they are no neophytes neither are they pushovers. To ignore Adeleke and Omisore would be at anyone's peril!!!!

To show that the opposition would do anything to win against the ruling party in the state, you could see how the PDP has done all that's possible to close ranks after that initial disagreements. So they have now adopted a common enemy as against in-fighting, which was really messing up their chances before. So the catch phrase now is, even if it is quiet, "all out war against our common enemy", the APC & her candidate and the sponsors.

With a more united front, the battle can be fought well and better, with the very good possibility or chance to win. The way it is right now, the only place that is too too sure for the APC in the coming elections in the SouthWest is probably, Lagos!!! If in the other states, they don't pick the right candidates and the in-fighting continues unabatedly, then things might be very dicey for them.

PDP is very desperate as it were now to make a major point and the best place to start is none other than Osun State after their unbelievable loss in a Ekiti, just a few months to the Presidential election come 2019 and their chosen candidate for Osun in the upcoming election is Senator Ademola Adeleke. Would he win???? Hmmmmmmm!!!! We don't know, but let's wait and see. The money chest Senator Adeleke would be taking into this battle by all indications, would be staggering and unprecedented. Not only does he have his brother's (Deji Adeleke) unflinching support, that's Davido's dad who is a multimillionaire, many say billionaire, he has also boasted openly about having the might of Dangote and Otedola and others not named behind him!!!! Even his nephew, Davido himself is giving full and unflinching support and may be able to shift awesomely the support and votes of the youths, who just for the fun of it might just decide to vote for Adeleke.

If he does win, come September 22, 2018!!!! Then we can expect the most awesome dance steps ever imagined by any in the world!!! Are we game for that??? Can the jester perform an extraordinary masterstroke ??? If he does win, it could signal also an unprecedented build up towards 2019, while also triggering the likes of Senator Dino Melaye, Governor Ayo Fayose, Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, Chief Olabode George, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and others to go into a frenzy of celebrations like never ever imagined before.

Let's just wait and see!!!! 

ONDO STATE AND GOVERNOR OLUWAROTIMI ODUNAYO AKEREDOLU

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu

Uneasy is the head that wears the crown is what they normally say and we can bet that's the current situation with the handsome white beard wearing SAN and Governor of Ondo State.

Heard that as it is currently, one of the major headache the Governor is battling and seriously grappling with is the monumental indebtedness he met on ground when he came on as Governor. So colossal is the debt that it can cause the faint hearted to give up.

But still yet not wanting to have a defeatist attitude, he has plunged headlong into the situation and his making every effort at finding how to unravel the complicated knots.

We hear that servicing the debt alone mad and is deducted straight from source by the FG. So before the state's monthly allocation is received, some major macheting is done, so what arrives can only just​ sort out salaries and little more.

So for the man who had made many promises in his campaign to get here, the reality on ground is a bit scary and not too nice. So to try to meet up one way or the other, is taking some very ingenious manuevirings at least to make the little happening now to even happen.

It's not even like what normally accrues to the state in the 1st instance is anything great or extraordinary, but that stipend and couoled with the overload of weight and expectations is causing his excellency's white beard to be going more platinum by the day.

One only hopes that respite one way or the other, would come the way of the Governor, somewhere, somehow.

Maybe by virtue of foresight now, it would have been better not to have thought to carry this kind of unrelenting weight at all from the start.

But like they also say, it is where the battle is fiercest, that one sees the strong/hero/Champion or powerful.

EDO GOVERNOR GODWIN OBASEKI APPOINTS 192 SPECIAL ASSISTANTS

Governor Godwin. N OBASEKI

In what is akin to a record breaking feat of some kind, the Governor of Edo State, His Excellency, Mr. Godwin Obaseki just yesterday appointed to serve his government a whopping number of aides, 192 special advisers in all.

As a continuation of his principle of all inclusive governance style, the idea for such a world record appointment is so as to make sure that governance one way or the other is felt at all wards in the state.

The 192 new appointees are from the 192 wards in the 18 Local Government Areas of the state. Each would be the eyes and ears and extensions of the Governor and Government in their wards.

The announcement of the appointments was made only yesterday, Friday, June 2, 2017 by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Osarodion Ogie. According to the SSG, offices would soon be set up in all the wards, with adequate communication equipments for each of the SA's.

At least by this appointments, one member of a ward each or community cannot deny not to be a part of Government and Governance in Edo State. Meaning also that 192 persons have been employed and taken off the labour market in the employment drive of the State Government. One of the 10 cardinal points of the Governor's campaign promises is to make sure to provide 200000 new jobs for the state, over the next 4 years.

This is a unique approach of governance by incumbent, Godwin Obaseki, after the 8 eventful years of governance by the past government of Adams Oshiomhole, which would not be forgotten in a hurry.

All appointees names and wards can be found at www.godwinobaseki.com
