 Group demands declaration of Aba North Assembly seat vacant, threatens protest A group known as the Coalition of Aba North Ethnic Youth Groups has mandated the Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Emmanuel Emereuwa to declare the Aba North seat vacant in seven days. The Aba North seat has been a subject of controversy since November 27, 2023, when the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos sacked Destiny Nwagwu of LP and declared Aaron Uzodike of the PDP, the duly elected member to represent Aba North. However, the seat has remained unoccupied since November 2023, as Uzodike of PDP has not been inaugurated by the Speaker, despite his several appeals.

Go And Rest, Allow Young Nigerians To Lead PDP, Olayinka Tells Atiku

Lere Olayinka, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former aide to ex-Ekiti Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has asked the party's 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to go and rest, stressing that it is time for younger Nigerians to lead the party.

Olayinka, who was the PDP House of Representatives candidate for Ekiti Central Federal Constituency II in the 2023 National Assembly election, said the PDP should blame itself for losing the presidential election.

He said this while speaking on a Television Continental (TVC) program on Thursday and Silverbird Television programme, NewsHub on Friday morning, on the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal judgment, which affirmed the election of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Olayinka said that he did not expect anything different from the tribunal, saying that "it is a waste of time going to court to challenge an election the PDP should have won so easily".

"How do you prove malpractices in an election held in over 176,000 polling units when it is mandatory that you must call witnesses in all polling units where you alleged irregularities? For instance, if you claimed irregularities in 10,000 polling units, how do you bring 10,000 party agents to the court to give evidence?” he asked.
