🇵🇸 🇳🇬 Vice-President Kashim Shettima Mustapha GCON: “Today, we are all witnesses to the heart-wrenching situation in Gaza and other Palestinian Territories… Justice is antithetical to revenge. Freedom is an inalienable right and a natural entitlement that cannot be denied to any people. The Palestinian people deserve their independence. They deserve to have a home of their own on territories already recognised by this very Assembly and by international law, which is being routinely ignored.“
For the avoidance of doubt, Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT of the APC beat Peter Obi of LP by a margin of 2,693,193 votes.
So, let me educate the unlearned fellows as to how electoral jurisprudence works so that no one deceives them: If you allege electoral malpractice in just ONE STATE and you do 100 TV documentaries on it, it cannot and will not upturn the overall result of the election in the event that when you subtract or add the result of that ONE STATE to the overall tally, the margin between both candidates will still not be obliterated.
Whilst I am not commenting on any particular Petition pending in court now, I just want to say that the entire result of an election cannot be cancelled due to any alleged malpractice if that malpractice does not SUBSTANTIALLY affect the declared result.
In addition, the type of evidence that may be admissible in court to prove over voting may be substantially different from what is put together to make fanciful documentaries that make the eyes of viewers pop out. So, just sit back and be entertained by documentaries.
After teaching the neophytes the hard political lesson on the field by getting our demographic calculations right whilst they were busy making skits, the next hard lesson they will learn is that the ‘JUSTICE’ is always dispensed ACCORDING TO LAW, and not according to sentiments, blackmail or threats.
President elect Bola Tinubu departs Nigeria for Europe on working visit
PRESS RELEASE
President-elect departs Nigeria Wednesday afternoon for Europe on working visit
President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday afternoon left Nigeria for Europe on a working visit.
He will use the opportunity of the trip to finetune the transition plans and programmes, and his policy options with some of his key aides without unnecessary pressures and distractions.
During the visit, the President-elect will engage with investors and other key allies with the goal of marketing investment opportunities in the country and his administration’s readiness to enable a business-friendly climate through policies and regulations.
Already, meetings with multi-sectoral actors in Europe’s business community including manufacturing, agriculture, tech and energy have been lined up.
Asíwájú Tinubu hopes to convince them of Nigeria’s readiness to do business under his leadership through mutually-beneficial partnerships premised on jobs creation and skills acquisition.
Reviving the country’s economy forms a major plank of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda and the meeting is part of his efforts to re-establish Nigeria’s importance in the global economic chain and create empowering opportunities for the country’s huge youth population.
The President-elect has hitherto promised to hit the ground running and the visit is reflective of his commitment to the promise as he has already begun talks with global actors in the important areas of the economy and security.
Before he left the country, Asíwájú Tinubu met with the House of Representatives candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker endorsed by his party, the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Hon. Benjamin Kalu, who were presented to him by Joint Task Team of the House.
He is scheduled to return shortly for preparations towards his official swearing in as the 16th President of the country on May 29, 2023.
Office of the President-elect,

We did it before and we have done worst again.
Let me hear any Igbo man shouting MARGINALIZATION again.
ORJI UZOR KALU and his cohorts should get out and allow others reap from where they sowed.
Wole Soyinka was seriously abused for days. Pastor Adeboye has been abused and defamed repeatedly. Today, it’s the turn of Ooni of Ife. Eyin omo ale akotileta, what they didn’t teach you at home you will learn it outside when all the twitter attention fizzles out. Continue.
@Topboychriss Yes, we are progressives. We don't insults, cast aspersions or intimidate others.
We believe that in politics you don't win always.
That is why we don't wail, when we loose elections to claim it was rigged. We don't also say it is injustice because we lost a court case.
Nigeria is about to commission Dangote's $19 billion 650,000 barrels per day refinery, the largest single train refinery in the world, at the end of this month. And you have never shown any excitement about the project. You haven't praised it. But you read somewhere that Rwanda wants to build a $2 billion airport, and suddenly you began to praise Rwanda and talk down Nigeria. Yes, Buhari is a disappointment. But you are not better. Rwanda would kill to have what Nigeria has.

@Imranmuhdz@woye1@scarfizal@akinalabi@Advsola Great news.
No doubt, we are moving forward and getting closer to victory.
In Shaa Allah, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio will emerge as the President of the 10th Senate and bu extension, the Chairman of the 10th National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
