Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from presenting Tonye Cole and Magnus Abe as governorship candidates in the general elections. Justice Omotosho also nullified all direct and indirect primaries conducted by both factions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. According to Omotosho, none of the primaries were conducted according to the law. The judge noted that the INEC did not do well by submitting names of candidates without consideration of previous court orders. The APC in Rivers state has been enmeshed in serious crisis after Magnus Abe decided to run for governor, a decision that did not go down well with Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, who is backing the candidacy of Tonye Cole.   DISCLAIMER : jomotv.com do not claim ownership of any of the Songs OR News that we upload or post, and any copyright infringement complaints will be executed immedia

Tinubu, National leader of APC: explains Saraki, Tambuwal’s exit The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has offered a political-philosophical analysis on why Senate President Bukola Saraki and Sokoto State Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal left the APC. He said the duo quit because the APC could not offer them what they wanted. In a major analysis of the political situation in Nigeria, titled “They go Away because We go the Right Way, which he also tweeted, Tinubu said the two defectors left the APC because they “wanted automatic tickets and sharing of the national wealth which the APC could not guarantee”. “The rest of the defectors were given similar assurances by the PDP as to their offices.

They “left the party to return to a motley agglomeration that would promise them what true democracy could not: automatic ti
