 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY   With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.   As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.   I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.   Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.   My prayers are with the family.   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria January 8, 2026

 INEC declares Ikpea, Igbinedion winners of Edo by-elections


The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winners of Saturday’s by-elections in Edo State.

Dr. Joseph Ikpea was declared winner of Edo Central Senatorial District and Barr. Omosede Igbinedion as winner of the Ovia Federal Constituency.

According to the Returning Officer for the Senatorial by-election, Prof. Kingsley Ubaorji, Ikpea of the APC polled 105,129 votes to defeat Joe Okojie of the PDP who polled 15,146 votes.

Similarly, the Returning Officer for Ovia Federal Constituency by-election, Prof. Clement Ighodalo, announced that the APC candidate, Omosede Igbinedion, pulled 77,053 votes to defeat Johnny Aikpitanyi of the PDP who scored 3,838 votes and Dr. Sandra Asemota of the ADC who polled 925 votes to come third.

The two seats became vacant in September 2024, following the election of Senator Monday Okpebholo and Rep member, Dennis Idahosa, as Governor and Deputy Governor respectively.

The Rep member-elect, Igbinedion, was first elected to the Green Chamber in 2011, but lost her bid to return to the incumbent Deputy Governor, Idahosa.

She also lost another attempt to Idahosa in 2023 on the platform of the PDP but had to defect to the APC following Idahosa’s election as Deputy Governor.
