PDP Concludes Case Against APC in Ebonyi South Election Tribunal
In the ongoing petition tribunal concerning the February 3, 2024 bye-election in Ebonyi South, the senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barrister Silas Onu, has formally concluded presenting his case against Professor Anthony Ani of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), whom he challenged following his declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Onu, a prominent figure within the PDP ranks, initiated legal proceedings with the aim of reclaiming what he asserts is his mandate, purportedly bestowed upon him by the electorate of Ebonyi South senatorial zone.
Emphasizing the rigor of their legal strategy, Onu highlighted the introduction of crucial evidence such as the Biometric Voter Authentication System (BVAS), presented openly in court and meticulously aligned with his sworn affidavit.
Reflecting on the procedural developments, Onu noted that INEC had also closed their case without calling witnesses, paving the way for the next phase.
He outlined the upcoming schedule, indicating that the 2nd and 3rd Respondents are expected to commence presenting their cases on Monday, July 15, with the possibility of concluding the same day.
Expressing optimism about the outcome, Onu conveyed confidence in the robustness of their legal arguments and the compelling nature of the evidence supporting their claims.
He underscored their reliance on divine providence for success, expressing faith that their efforts would bring renewed hope to the people of Ebonyi South during what he described as a challenging period.
In conclusion, Onu reiterated his unwavering commitment to pursuing justice through the judicial process, buoyed by the belief that justice will prevail with the support of the Almighty.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
