  Tribunal throws out petition challenging Gov Okpebholo’s election victory in Edo Governor Monday Okpebholo and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have secured a significant victory in the ongoing petitions challenging their win in the September 21, 2024, governorship election in Edo State. The Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed a petition filed by the Action Alliance (AA) and Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, citing lack of merit and frivolity. The Tribunal's ruling centered on Omoaje's lack of locus standi, as his petition was not based on election-related matters. Furthermore, the Tribunal noted that Omoaje did not participate in the governorship election, thereby lacking the authority to question the election's validity. Omoaje's grievances stemmed from not being recognized as the National Chairman of the Action Alliance for nominating candidates. However, the Tribunal held that his claims had no basis in the Electoral Act of 2022. The petition h...

 My dream to work in Nigeria came 10 yrs after – EU envoy Mignot


The European Union (EU) Head of Delegation to Nigeria, Gautier Mignot, has revealed that it has been his longstanding ambition to work in the country.

Mignot, who submitted his letter of credence to President Bola Tinubu just last week, shared that his desire to serve in Nigeria was sparked during his first visit to the country a decade ago.

The former EU ambassador to Mexico made this known during a media parley with diplomatic correspondents in Abuja, where he expressed enthusiasm about his new role and the opportunities it presents for strengthening EU-Nigeria relations.

The envoy who also doubles as Head of Delegation to ECOWAS said: “I came here to Nigeria 10 years ago on a one-week mission to Abuja and Lagos, and I found it to be a fascinating country. I always thought how great it would be to come and work here in this country one day and this dream finally has come true.

“So I’m very happy with that. I arrived here in Nigeria at the beginning of September, taking over from Ambassador Samuel Aissopi.I know you knew her very well. She was a very active ambassador. And again, I’m extremely happy to be here in Nigeria, the number one nation in Africa and a key player in the world.

“I already had the opportunity to discover some parts of the country, apart from the Federal capital, Lagos of course, but also the city, Calabar, and more recently Borno and the Adamawa states. And also, I discovered a bit of the Nigerian tribal culture, since the Calabar carnival last year.”
