| Just In: Sanwo-Olu Defeats Ambode, Declared Winner By State Party Chairman(Video) Posted: 02 Oct 2018 04:31 PM PDT
Alhaji Babatunde Balogun, Lagos State chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has declared Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu winner of the state governorship primary election held, Tuesday.The State Party Chairman, made the announcement at the State Party Secretariat ACME where, according to Balogun, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode scored 72,901 votes, while Sanwo-Olu polled 970,851 votes.Alhaji Balogun further stated that the election was free, fair and transparent. He said that physical and feelable human beings were counted in the presence of observers.He therefore commended party members that turned in from the 245 wards to participate in the exercise.He added that, it was a demonstration of their commitment to the party.Watch video:
"The people have now rendered their decision and there is no reason to cast aside the sovereign will of the people. For me, as party chairman, to see vast number of people to come out to vote and then say there is no primary took place would to cast stain on the party and its leadership. This I shall not do. " Those persons who now claim this election did not take place stand in direct opposition to the spirit of Democracy and the expressed will of APC members in Lagos. The party faithfuls have spoken and it is voice that is paramount. "The Lagos chapter of the APC is committed to honouring their choice. Their decision must stand as the true expression of the APC in Lagos. " To embark upon any other course will be to betray our members, our state and the core principle of progress and democracy upon which the APC is founded. Such a move is also at variance with the President's strict adherence to the principle of transparency, openness and participatory democracy."

| EFCC Opposes Nenadi's Contempt Charge Against Lai Mohammed Posted: 02 Oct 2018 01:14 PM PDT
...The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) oppose contempt charge brought against Lai Mohammed.Nigeria anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has asked a Federal High Court in Lagos to dismiss a motion filed by a former Minister of State for Finance, Nenadi Usman, seeking to commit the Information Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, to prison for alleged contempt.Nenadi Usman is standing trial alongside former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Chairman of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) Yusuf Danjuma, and a company, Joint trust Dimension Ltd, over money laundering charges.In a motion on notice brought through her lawyer, Mr Ferdinand Orbih (SAN), the former minister argued that the inclusion of her name on the looters' list released by the Information Minister during the course of an alleged fraud case against her was contemptuous.However, responding to the arguments on the motion, EFCC's lawyer, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, urged the court to decline Nenadi's request, Daily Post reports.Oyedepo insisted that the applicant (Nenadi) was never referred to as a looter by the information minister, arguing that what was published by some newspapers only bordered on allegations which could not be said to be prejudicial to the applicant's case in court. He further argued that there was no advertorial from the Ministry of Information to substantiate the claims against the information minister. He said: "The minister of information is not a party to the criminal proceedings against the applicant; there is no evidence to show that the alleged contemnor works with the various media houses that published the alleged offensive publication. "Besides, there were no allegations against the media houses that published the alleged offensive publication. "There was nothing that connected the ministry of information to the motion which was taken out to annoy the prosecution; the motion is lacking in substance, it is an abuse of court's process and should be dismissed." Meanwhile, Justice Mohammed Aikawa has reserved his ruling on the motion until Nov. 16. Related Topics: #LaiMohammed #EFCC Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||

"I told the president that the primaries held as planned and everything is being done to ensure there is no violence because democracy doesn't flourish with violence. "Nigerians must begin to learn how to differ in opinion and in choice without fighting; this is something people have to acquire over time. "For me, I'm excited that if we can do it in Lagos it can be done anywhere. "Everything that is being done is done under the control, supervision and direction of the NWC.''
