By

The significant political development in Ovia South-West Local Government Area of Edo State involves the defection of the council chairman, vice chairman, and ten councillors from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This move could have far-reaching implications for local governance and the political landscape of the region.

The defection may shift the balance of power in favor of the APC, potentially influencing policy direction, governance priorities, and decision-making at the council level. It could also reshape party dynamics, energize APC supporters, and present challenges for the PDP in upcoming elections. Additionally, this shift might affect the broader political strategy within Edo State, as both parties contend for dominance in the area.

Further details about the motivations behind the defection and its immediate impacts will provide more insight into the long-term consequences of this political realignment.

By
By Egbemavoice, Spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr Charles Aniagwu says the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was still open for further dialogue with Governor Nyesom Wike and his group.  Aniagwu who spoke on Arise Television on Wednesday night said Atiku's reaction to the alleged boycott of the Presidential Campaign Council by Wike's group was not a foreclosure of further reconciliation with the group and other stakeholders in the party.  He said that Atiku's call on the party to move was a call to focus on the real issues bothering Nigerians and not necessarily meant to leave any stakeholder behind.  According to Aniagwu, we don't have any faction in the party just a group with interest which is allowed democratically.  "As a party we are quite comfortable that in the course of time these issues will give way for everybody to be on board.  "Atiku didn't say its time to move on because h...

By
By EgbemaVoice Reporter, Ijaw and Urhobo leaders in Warri have defended the final report of the Supreme Court-ordered delineation of the Warri Federal Constituency, urging the Federal Government and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disregard what they described as misleading claims by some Itsekiris and Urhobos of Agbarha Kingdom. Speaking during a joint press briefing on Wednesday at Olabrakonpre Community, Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom, the leaders clarified that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu never directed INEC to alter the names of Registration Areas or Electoral Wards in Warri South Local Government Area.
