National Coalition of Edo Voters has demanded an immediate cancellation of the 2023 Presidential election results and “a declaration that the election is totally an unacceptable fraud.”

Addressing newsmen on Thursday in Benin at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Edo State council, on behalf of other voters comprising women and other men, Comrade Olu Martins also demanded that aside from the cancellation, “a neutral body of forensic experts should be invited to audit the entire Presidential election results, with a view to discovering the demons that have been bedevilling free, fair and credible elections in Nigeria. We are convinced they are hidden within.”

Comrade Martins who was flanked by Comrade Chris Ojeikere, Comrade Shedrach Udugbai, Comrade Douglas Odens, while demanding for the resignation of INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, for failing Nigerians in the just concluded presidential election, also demanded an “investigation into a Social media report of spotting Mahmoud Yakubu in Bourdillion Road, Ikoyi, and the possible association with Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s private jet.”

Martins, who discribed the outcome of the February 25 Presidential election as rape on democracy and wish of the people, lamented that despite promising Nigerians that election results would be uploaded from polling units, INEC failed to keep it promise.

“This brutal rape, callously executed in collusion with Nigeria’s ruling party, the APC, was consummated when Mr Yakubu, brazenly went ahead to declare APC as winners of the February, 25th Presidential elections, to the dazed consternation of the Nigeria people, who are yet to find any evidence of the votes cast on the 25th of February, 2023.

“Nigerians are still asking, who voted Mr Bola Tinubu, the unidentifiable candidate of the APC?

“INEC, deviously failed to upload the election results into the Independent Review Portal (IREV), as was not only promised by the INEC Chairman, but also, as evidenced by records, had insisted, vehemently, before the election, that no manual computations of results will be used to determine the winner of the 2023 election results.

“Where the results were uploaded at all, by some of INEC polling officers, testimonies abound of unimaginable proportion of alterations, so much so, that results sheets on the portal from River State, for instance, looks like a painter’s canvass. Citizens of other states, who saw their results earlier uploaded at the respective polling units, can no longer recognise the travesties called results at the IREV.

“INEC had craftily promised all Nigerians the benefit of being able to view the uploaded results online, even from the comfort of their homes. We wonder therefore, why the INEC Chairman was so adamant against displaying same results on its portal during the national presentation of the results, even after the entreaties and protestations from other political parties.”

He added: “Well, our wonder was laid to rest, or should we say, to deeper worries, by the alarming submission by INEC that it did not upload most results into its portal. So, ladies and gentlemen, what we have as the 2023 results are the mental computations of the whims and caprice of the INEC Chairman, who took the unholy liberty to ALLOCATE results to each party as it suited his humourless fancy.”

The Bauchi State Ministry of Education has launched a sensitization campaign on the importance of education across selected market places in the state.

The campaign aims to encourage school enrolment and showcase the infrastructural facilities provided by the Bauchi state government to ensure a conducive environment for learning and teaching in the state.

Speaking during the flag off of the campaign at Gadan-Maiwa Community, Dr. Mohammed Lawal, the state’s Commissioner for Education, emphasized that the marketplaces are ideal locations to promote education, as it is a hub of activity where people gather to buy and sell.

He highlighted the various infrastructural facilities provided by the government, which he said included the mega schools, provision of qualified teachers, and educational materials to woo parents to enroll their wards into school.

The Commissioner noted that the state has made significant progress in reducing the number of out-of-school children.

Lawal stated that the government has implemented a Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme to support the education of girl children, which he said, has recorded significant success.

He therefore urged parents to take advantage of the government’s efforts and send their children to school.

The commissioner also commended Governor Bala Mohammed for his commitment to education and reducing the number of out-of-school children in the state.

On their part, the village head of Gadan-Maiwa, Safiyanu Ahmed, and the Chairman of Gadan-Maiwa motor Park, Alhaji Adamu Abubakar, lauded the government’s initiative and urged parents to support the effort.

The duo also appealed for more teachers to be employed to improve education in the state.

Former Big Brother Naija winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, was reportedly involved in a heated altercation at a hotel in Abuja following an alleged N200,000 disagreement.

According to eyewitness accounts, the confrontation began in the early hours of Tuesday inside Phyna’s hotel room in Abuja, before spilling into the lobby, attracting the attention of guests and staff.

Sources claimed the dispute stemmed from an unsettled financial issue involving N200,000, which quickly escalated into a shouting match.

The argument reportedly intensified when neither party was willing to back down, leading to pushing and chaos within the hotel premises.
