POWER TUSSLE: APC Waiting for Supreme Court’s Explanation on Rulings – Oyegun

By -

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said on Thursday that the party is waiting for the Supreme Court to give reasons for its judgments in the governorship election cases in Akwa Ibom and Rivers States before knowing the way forward.
Speaking when he received the party delegation from Akwa Ibom led by the governorship candidate, Umana Umana, Oyegun said the party will meet at a later date to fashion the way forward.
"What is paramount is how to move forward on the situation that confronts us. We should reach conclusions that will guide us as a party in the months ahead," he said.
In his remarks, the governorship candidate, expressed shock at the Supreme Court judgment despite what he described as "overwhelming evidence" presented before the apex court confirming election fraud and violence perpetrated by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said both local and international observers, including the United States Embassy, the European Union and the Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) said the Akwa Ibom elections were marred by widespread irregularities and violence.
He said: "Indeed we are not happy in Akwa Ibom State with the situation. Our people were not allowed to vote. It was not just a case of card readers, even the voters register proved clear cases of over voting. The EU, TMG and other international observer groups issued statements condemning the elections
"Against this background, we thought if we approach the court, we will get justice. We submitted over 350 exhibits including video proving election violence and malpractices.
"It was a case of double jeopardy. During the election our people were killed. We went to court and we could not get justice."

Male Angle Don't trivialise it When I first wondered about this question, I thought it was something actually ridiculous, but after having discussed it with my wife and a few friends, I must say that I agree with a lot of the things everyone said. Let me explain here. I definitely agree it can be a little sexy to say it, but it depends on the familiarity and the relationship you both have. But I also completely understand how many people can be made to feel like a used piece of crap, a prostitute, or it just being plain awkward if they get thanked every time they had sex with their partners. I can see it from both sides. But it just depends on the situation. Men also have the same issues to think about. For us, it is also about being put on the center stage and our sexual performance is being verified, acknowledged and praised or abused.
