Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, threatens to expel Adams Oshiomole from APC

The ongoing conflict between the Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, and the APC National chairman, Adams Oshiomole, has escalated with the governor issuing a warning to potentially expel Oshiomole from the party.

The dispute revolves around the control of the party's affairs in the state, leading to a tense stand-off between the two figures. Speaking at a meeting with the 18 APC local government chairmen in the state, Obaseki threatened to take action against Oshiomole if he persists in his "anti-party" activities. He specifically referenced the political rally organized by Oshiomole in Auchi, Etsako West local government area, where a significant number of individuals defected...

Court in Nigeria rules that Deputy Senate President, Omo-Agege was never convicted in US

A Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out a lawsuit seeking to remove Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege from office on the alleged grounds of a US conviction. Justice Othman Musa, presiding over the case, deemed the lawsuit a waste of the court's time as he stated that the Deputy Senate President was never convicted by any court of law nor was he subject to any criminal sentence. As a result, the plaintiff was ordered to pay N1 million to Senator Omo-Agege as damages for filing the lawsuit. Justice Musa also clarified that the only conviction that could disqualify a Nigerian from holding a political office for 10 years is one made by a Nigerian court.
