Ogun Governor Visits INEC to Mourn Late Resident Electoral Commissioner
On Wednesday, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun visited the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend his condolences to the staff following the death of Niyi Ijalaye, the state’s resident electoral commissioner.
During his visit, Governor Abiodun described Ijalaye as a compassionate and unassuming individual who consistently upheld the principles of truth and fairness in his role.
He reflected on Ijalaye’s significant contributions to the state’s democratic processes, noting that his calm and principled approach was instrumental throughout the election cycle—before, during, and after the elections.
Governor Abiodun expressed deep sorrow over Ijalaye’s passing, highlighting his steadfast commitment to ensuring that INEC adhered to the highest standards of integrity.
“I want to recognize and honor this diligent man, whose dedication and perseverance were evident in every aspect of his work with the commission,” Abiodun stated.
In her remarks, Mrs. Rabiat Titilayo Akinola, the Director of Finance and Accounts at INEC in Ogun State, called on the state government to extend its support to both the family of the late REC and the commission during this challenging time.
She emphasized the need for continued assistance and solidarity as the commission and Ijalaye’s family navigate this period of loss.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
