A group of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters gathered outside the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Benin City, Edo State, voicing their discontent over the recent governorship election.

Armed with placards displaying various messages and chanting in unity, the protesters demanded that INEC revisit and overturn the election results.

INEC had previously declared Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, as the victor of the election.

However, PDP members have strongly opposed this announcement, alleging that the process was tainted with irregularities.

They specifically pointed to incidents of vote buying and manipulation at specific polling stations, claiming that these actions distorted the true outcome of the election.

The protesters are calling for a thorough investigation into these alleged malpractices, insisting that the election results do not reflect the true will of the people.

They remain adamant that the election was not free and fair and are urging INEC to address their concerns, pushing for a transparent review of the entire process.

The protests have intensified the ongoing political tension, with both parties standing firm in their respective claims about the fairness of the election.

Dr. Salihu Lukman, a former National Vice Chairman (North-West) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has criticized Nigeria’s opposition leaders, accusing them of playing a significant role in the country’s current political struggles.

In a statement released on Sunday, Lukman argued that many opposition figures and politically sidelined politicians contributed to the failures of past administrations.

He believes they should acknowledge their roles and step back rather than attempting to position themselves as alternatives to the current government.

“Based on their track records, many of these politicians would likely perform worse than former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, Muhammadu Buhari, and even President Tinubu,” Lukman stated.

He described them as intolerant and unable to build strong political structures, leading to their loss of influence in their respective states.

United States President-elect Donald Trump revealed on Friday that he had a conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The discussion came at a critical time, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to allow a controversial ban on TikTok to take effect over the weekend.

The ruling dismissed an appeal by TikTok’s owners, who argued that the ban infringed on First Amendment rights.

Trump shared that the conversation covered significant global and bilateral issues, including trade imbalances, the fentanyl crisis, the future of TikTok, and more.

“I had a great call with Chairman Xi Jinping of China. It was a positive discussion for both our nations. We are ready to address critical issues immediately, including trade, fentanyl, and TikTok.
