Okpebholo Open to Collaboration with Opposition

Published

on


Edo State Governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, has expressed openness to collaborating with opposition parties if they present “beautiful” and “acceptable” ideas for the people. This follows his election victory, where he garnered 291,667 votes, defeating Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party.

However, Ighodalo has rejected the results, alleging vote-buying and manipulation by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and plans to contest the outcome legally.

Okpebholo urged his rivals to accept the results and focus on future opportunities. He emphasized that his administration represents a “new dawn” for Edo State, dedicated to serving the people. Former Governor Adams Oshiomhole echoed this sentiment, calling for unity among all political factions to ensure the welfare of Edo citizens and encouraging the opposition to embrace collaboration for the greater good.

Andrew and Tristan Tate Lose Over £2 Million in Seized Funds Amid Tax Evasion Allegations

Published

on


Westminster Magistrates Court has ruled against Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, leading to the seizure of over £2 million from their accounts due to unpaid taxes linked to their online businesses.

The funds, held in seven frozen bank accounts, were traced to the Tates and a woman identified as J. Authorities allege the brothers funneled substantial sums, including cryptocurrency, through accounts in J’s name, despite her lack of involvement in their ventures.

Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring described the scheme as a “straightforward cheat of the revenue,” uncovering years of alleged tax evasion and money laundering. Devon and Cornwall Police revealed the brothers accrued millions between 2014 and 2022 without paying taxes or VAT.

Andrew Tate, however, criticized the ruling, claiming it is part of a “coordinated attack” to silence dissent. “This is not justice; it’s theft disguised as legal action,” Tate said in a statement.

The brothers are also facing separate criminal charges in Romania, including allegations of human trafficking and rape, and are set to be extradited to the UK.
