President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, have urged the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal not to nullify the February 25 presidential poll.

Tinubu and Shettima said the tribunal should not cancel the presidential election over the controversy surrounding the 25 per cent in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

This was as they urged the tribunal to dismiss the petition of the Labour Party, LP, and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Their appeal was contained in a final address by their lead counsel, Wole Olanipekun.

Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State under the umbrella of Amalgamation of Support Groups for Tinubu, Shettima, have insisted that former Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike should be rewarded with a ministerial position in the Bola Tinubu-led government.

The stakeholders, in a statement, said Wike was at the epicentre of the jinx-breaking result of Tinubu in Rivers State and should be allowed to benefit from the fruits of his labour.

The statement signed by the South East Coordinator of the group, Sir Victor Akpati, said it would be wrong to reward the Rivers State Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate in the last election, Senator Magnus Abe, with a ministerial appointment under the President Bola Tinubu administration.

The Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, has disclosed that Ekiti State will get N4bn for the construction of major roads in the supplementary budget passed last week by the National Assembly.

According to him, the federal allocation was an extension of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s drive for infrastructure development in Ekiti State.

Bamidele said that Ekiti State would benefit immensely from the amended supplementary budget passed and approved for President Bola Tinubu to be able to provide palliatives to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal and address other nations’ economic challenges.

The federal lawmaker spoke at Ikogosi, Ekiti on Saturday after a service held at the First Baptist Church to commemorate the 90th birthday of Ekiti State governor’s father, Pa Ezekiel Oyebanji, who he said inculcated good deeds in his children.

The United Action Front of Civil Society has condemned the N8,000 monthly palliatives to 12 million households by the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, saying it exposes the reality of renewed misgovernance and corruption.

The CSO in a statement signed by the head of, the national coordinating centre, Olawale Okunniyi said the supposed intervention is erroneous and a poorly conceived ploy to hoodwink the masses, who have been unduly trampled and pauperised by the policy of the APC government under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

The leadership of the organised platform of the Nigerian civil society lamented that poor Nigeria is being forced to take the bitter pill of repaying a wrongheaded loan supposedly being acquired in their interest in the nearest future.
