Obi and Tinubu

Recall that Tinubu was declared the winner of the 2023 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. The Governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu made this known in Abuja during the presentation of the certificate of return to the president-elect, and Kashim Shetima, vice president-elect. He said: “The president-elect has set up committees to meet with the gentlemen who contested in the election for us to start the healing process. I belong to one of the committees. We are going to meet them and appeal to them so that we can work together,” “This is an election that was not padded. People who voted were counted, that is the way I see it, not one which shows millions of votes. You can see the candidates, everyone won 12 states each, it has never been like that before.” Akeredolu maintained that the people of Ondo state voted for Tinubu because they wanted a southern president. “Ondo people are progressives and we will always, at least, be on the side of progressivism. From the onset, we were at the forefront of clamour for a southern president and so we have to put everything we had into it and we got the support, that is why we are able to make it,” he said.

Reason Peter Obi Left PDP – Atiku Atiku said, “I think Peter [Obi] was in a rush. When the campaign started, and our PDP governors sat down and said they must produce the presidential and vice presidential candidates, the chief of staff among themselves, Peter, got scared and left. “I didn’t get scared. I stood up against the governors. When we founded the PDP, some of them were perhaps in secondary schools or universities. So, why should I be afraid? So, I stood up and I fought them. They fought me and I fought them and I won the primary election. “So, if he was there, nothing could’ve stopped him from becoming a running mate because I had the right to choose whoever I wanted as my running mate.” "He was in a rush, scared" — Atiku on why Peter Obi left PDP, lost election Atiku on Why Peter Did Not Win the Election “Yes, agreed that he took our votes from the South-east and the South-south and that of course would not make him a president. You all know that to win the presidential election in Nigeria, you need votes from everywhere,” he stated. Requirements to become president Section 134 of the constitution stipulates the requirements a candidate must meet to be declared the winner of a presidential election. The section states that:
“(1) A candidate for an election to the office of the President shall be deemed to have been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election “(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and “(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.” Watch the video below …

Even if it is a 30 seconds trauma the minor go through, those who planned the SET UP are culpable. ▪︎ How do you keep quiet over PARENTAL NEGLIGENCE on the part of your co-traveller Princess when more than Three Men the girl confessed slept with her excluding Baba Ijesha? ▪︎ How do you keep quiet that PRINCESS was beating the same girl on the spot after they baited Baba Ijesha? ▪︎ How old is the girl truly?

Chidiebere Aneke

There have been countless stories online where some actresses and actors disclosed that some movie producers demand sex from them for particular movie roles or just for casting. Chidiebere Aneke while speaking in a recent interview has shared her experience. According to her, she hasn’t encountered any sex for role experience with any movie producer. She advised actresses to stop using the backdoor to gain what they want and also desist from entering producers’ rooms. In her words, Chidiebere Aneke said; “My experience over the years has been great and wonderful. It has not been easy and I am still learning. But, I thank God for everything. There are some people that come online to say that producers asked them for sex before they could be given roles in their movies. However, no one has personally come to report such an incident to me. What I will advise as the way forward is that people who say producers ask them for sex should stop going to the producers’ rooms, when they don’t have anything to do there. Whenever there are calls for auditions, these actresses should not go in through the back door.”
