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.

Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.

Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.

“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.

According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”

He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.
