"Tinubu's election victory is spiritual, you can't win in court" ― Primate Ayodele tells Atiku, Peter Obi

Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has told the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, to withdraw their cases against President Bola Tinubu, stating that Tinubu’s victory is spiritual, hence Atiku and Obi cannot win their cases in court. Primate Ayodele said this on Saturday in Lagos while also stating that Tinubu would put all the lawyers and judges in a calabash and throw it away.

Primate Elijah Ayodele According to Ayodele, Tinubu’s mantra of Emi Lokan carry’s spiritual and positive energy. He stressed that Atiku and Obi are just wasting their time trying to unseat Tinubu. Ayodele said: “Tinubu’s victory is more spiritual than physical, when he said ’emi lokan’, people didn’t understand. That ’emi lokan’ mantra has a lot of spiritual and positive energy. “Atiku and Obi are not ready, they think Tinubu will just sit down and fold his hands? He (Tinubu) will put all the lawyers and judges in one calabash and throw them inside water. “Tinubu is spiritually desperate and only God can take him out of the way. Atiku and Obi are just wasting their time, they are not ready to take the number one position. “They are just noise makers who go on the internet to rant, will the internet give them victory? Tinubu’s victory is totally spiritual.” He also maintained that the senate under the leadership of Godswill Akpabio would be a rubber stamp. “The Senate under Akpabio will be a rubber stamp, I don’t see anybody being serious; even the opposition will soon join the ruling party because the radical ones will be silenced,” he added.

On Monday, June 12, President Bola Tinubu delivered a speech commemorating the 30th anniversary of the June 12, 1993, presidential election.

Regarding the 2023 election, Tinubu expressed the view that individuals who are unable to tolerate and accept defeat in elections are unworthy of experiencing the joy of victory when their turn comes. June 12 Speech from President Tinubu “We have traversed the dark, thorny path of dictatorship before and those who experienced it can readily testify to the unbridgeable gap between the dignity of freedom and the humiliation and degradation of tyranny. “True, rancorous debates, interminable wrangling, ceaseless quarrels, bitter electoral contestations may be perceived by some as unattractive features of democracy. But they also testify to its merit and value. “This year, we held the seventh in the cycle of elections that have become sacred rituals of our democratic practice in this dispensation since 1999. “That the polls were intensely contested is in itself positive evidence that democracy is well and alive in our land. It is only natural that even as those who won and experienced victory in the various elections are elated and fulfilled, those who lost are disenchanted and disappointed. But the beauty of democracy is that those who win today can lose tomorrow and those who lose today will have an opportunity to compete and win in the next round of elections. “Those who cannot endure and accept the pain of defeat in elections do not deserve the joy of victory when it is their turn to triumph. Above all, those who disagree with the outcome of the elections are taking full advantage of the constitutional provisions to seek redress in court and that is one of the reasons why democracy is still the best form of government invented by man.”

Court berates Peter Obi over unpreparedness in petition against Tinubu’s victory

The presidential election petition court criticizes the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for their lack of preparedness in the petition filed against President Bola Tinubu‘s victory. During the court session on Thursday, one of the senior lawyers representing the petitioners, Emeka Okpoko, attempted to submit electoral documents as exhibits.

However, upon reconvening, the petitioners’ legal team still appeared disorganized. This dissatisfaction led Haruna Tsammani, the leader of the five-member panel presiding over the court, to advise the petitioners to request an adjournment to allow them to properly arrange their documents. “What we have done today is a waste of time. I think you underrated the kind of job you have to do,” one of the justices said. In response, Awa Kalu, another experienced lawyer representing the petitioners, stated that they would not be accepting the adjournment proposed by the court. “I took an adjournment yesterday and I would not like to do that today,” Kalu said. Subsequently, the issues were resolved, and the petitioners successfully presented electoral documents (form EC8As) from six states. These states include Rivers with 15 Local Government Areas (LGAs), Benue with 23 LGAs, Cross River with 18 LGAs, Niger with 21 LGAs, Osun with 20 LGAs, and Ekiti with 16 LGAs. In the petition filed by Peter Obi and the Labour Party, a total of 83 witnesses have been identified to testify, representing both the petitioners and the respondents. The petitioners have indicated their intention to call 50 witnesses, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has listed five witnesses, while President Bola Tinubu and Governor Kashim Shettima have listed 21 witnesses, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) has listed seven witnesses. The court has set specific dates for each party to present their case. Obi and the Labour Party are scheduled to prove their case from May 30 to June 23, INEC from June 24 to June 29, Tinubu and Shettima from June 30 to July 5, and the APC from July 6 to July 10. The adoption of final addresses is set for August 5. At this point, only one witness has been called by the petitioners during the proceedings.

Manchester City assert Premier League title win with victory over Chelsea Manchester City kicked off their Premier League title celebrations with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea at the Etihad. Recall that Pep Guardiola’s men clinched a fifth title in six seasons on Saturday, May 20, when second-placed Arsenal were defeated 1-0 by Nottingham Forest. Manchester City assert Premier League title win with victory over Chelsea Following the title win, Guardiola made nine changes from the side that battered Real Madrid on Wednesday, May 17. Haaland, Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, John Stones, Jack Grealish, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, and goalkeeper Ederson were all benched. Erling Haaland was rested but Julian Alvarez provided the cutting edge in his absence with a clinical finish to put City ahead after 12 minutes. Kalvin Phillips who made his first Premier League start for City since joining in a £55m deal from Leeds United last summer, came close to doubling City’s lead on the hour mark but he was denied by the post after meeting Riyad Mahrez’s free-kick. Manchester City assert Premier League title win with victory over Chelsea Alvarez thought he had his brace in the 73rd minute but the goal was disallowed after Mahrez was adjudged to have used a hand in the build-up. The defeat means Chelsea will end a miserable campaign in the bottom half and a familiar lack of cutting edge in front of goal showed why the Blues have struggled under three different managers this season. With finals against Manchester United and Inter Milan to come in the FA Cup and Champions League respectively, City have to keep their focus if they’re to pull off a historic treble.
