 You caused Labour Party’s crisis – Chieftain, Olorunfemi, slams INEC The Deputy National Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, Ayo Olorunfemi, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of instigating a crisis in the party in the wake of its leadership tussle. Olorunfemi said this on Thursday. He said it was not the duty of INEC to conduct elections for political parties if the tenure of their National Working Committee, NWC, expires. According to him, the electoral umpire ignored the Labour Party when the party sent a letter inviting them to its national convention. His comment came after INEC accused the party of not following the Electoral Act for its national convention held in Nnewi, Anambra State in March 2024. This is coming after the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, earlier clarified that the constitution of the party, and not an individual removed Julius Abure as the national chairman.

The sophisticated attacks on communications equipment used by Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah have sown disarray in Lebanon, and are increasingly viewed as heralding a return to all-out war, last fought 18 years ago.

  EU Commission's €1.49 Billion Fine on Google Rejected by Court Over Flawed Analysis An EU court has annulled a €1.49 billion fine imposed on Google by the European Commission over alleged abuse of its dominant position in online advertising. The General Court in Luxembourg ruled that the European Commission made errors in its assessment, particularly in failing to consider the full context of the contract clauses it found problematic. This ruling marks a significant win for Google as the tech giant has faced numerous antitrust cases in the EU over the past several years. The fine, originally imposed in 2019, was part of a broader crackdown on big tech companies in Europe. It specifically targeted Google's AdSense service, which the EU had accused of limiting competition by restricting third-party websites from displaying ads from Google's competitors. Google, however, argued that it had already made changes to its ad services prior to the Commission's decision, and th
