Tofa supporters said same thing during MKO days, but we all know how he lost the North.
You need to realize that Tinubu is no MKO.

And moreover MKO had very convincing votes in the SE and SS. For instance in the 4 SE states, out of about about 1.5 million votes cast, Tofa only had about 50k votes more than MKO despite the fact that Tofa's VP was from Imo state. MKO also won the battle ground of what makes for the NC now.

Akwa-Ibom, Anambra, Cross River, Delta, Edo mostly were won with more than 10 points.

Moreover we all saw how MKO ended.

If there is anybody Kwankwanso will step down for.

It is going to be Tinubu

Take this to the bank 100000%
This is not intel but direct info from Rabiu himself

So what do you think?

Will he step down or not?

My source, a big player in North West politics said some leaders in the North west are working on consolidating the voters from the duo into one ticket and their thinking is that since Atiku is likely to do better in the South West than Rabiu, the pressure is on the later to step down.

Let me repeat myself here again.

If Rabiu is going to step down, he is going to step down for Asiwaju
You can take it to the bank again

2023: Ekwunife loses, as court affirms Umeh as LP candidate

Tony Okafor, Awka


The Court of Appeal, Awka has affirmed Senator Victor Umeh as candidate of the Labour Party for Anambra Central Senatorial District for Saturday's polls.


The Court in its judgement held that the suit which supposedly disqualified Umeh at the Federal High Court, Awka was statute barred and lacked locus.


Justice Olubunmi Oyewole, who read the judgement via zoom allowed the two appeals by the Labour Party and Senator Umeh to stand.


Mr Surajo Gusau,the Deputy Chief Registrar of the Court confirmed the judgement to our correspondent.


Recall that Ekwunife and PDP had gone to the Federal High Court, Awka, to contest the validity of Umeh’s nomination in the Labour Party.

The court below presided over by Justice Hyeladzira Nganjiwa in his judgement on January 27 granted Ekwunife's petition and disqualified Umeh.


The LP and Umeh through their counsel Chief Alex Ejesieme (SAN) and Patrick Ikwetoh( SAN) respectively appealed the trial Court Judgement for lack of locus by the respondents and prayed the court to set aside the judgement.


Umeh is LP’s candidate for Anambra Central, the Senatorial District of Mr Peter Obi, one of the frontline presidential candidates in the February. 25 elections.

Reacting to the judgment, Chief Beluolisa Nwofor, SAN, counsel for Ekwunife said he will appeal the judgment.

Labour party would sure get some senators in the Senate after this elections. The structure is gathering momentum.
