50m Nigerian voters line up for Owuru presidency
Owuru Presidential Campaign Organisation, OPCD, has announced that the welfarist policies of the Hope Democratic Party, HDP, had galvanised not less than 50 million prospective Nigerian voters to queuing behind its presidential candidate, High Chief Ambrose Owuru, in the forthcoming 2019 general elections in the country.
In a press release signed by Yusufu Ibrahim Esq. on behalf of the director of publicity of the organisation, through which it wished Nigerians a happy New Year, the campaign organisation disclosed that the 50 million votes pledged to the Owuru presidential ambition came mostly from its teeming supporters and poor Nigerians who had given express approval to the wealth distribution and welfarist policies of Chief Owuru.
“It is heartwarming to note that at present, we have so far received over 50 million pledged votes from our teeming supporters of the welfarist and wealth redistribution policies taking off after the successful polls from February 16, 2019, that will guarantee a minimum of N2 million investment funds for all families in Nigeria, in addition to our programmes of free education, free health care system, free mass transit, and free social housing and monthly social security doles for the unemployed, elderly and displaced persons to end poverty.
“We warn that INEC takes immediate steps to clean up their acts inconsistences of rules and guidelines for the elections and reverse recent appointments regarding manual collations with relations of the ruling party’s presidential candidate appointed to oversee after same presidential candidate had recently refused to assent to or sign into law duly parliamentary passed electoral reform bills that will eliminate vote stealing and manipulation of election results.
“Our party and candidate will take necessary actions to protect reported pledged votes to our candidate in due course where INEC and the presidency and named benefiting candidates and public officers fail to adequately address this issue to our satisfaction and guarantee of the pledged votes to our candidate in the coming February presidential election.
“We are fully aware that there is a clear breach by the public officers concerned, both at the INEC and the presidency, of the provisions of our constitution and laws not to take undue advantage of their officials positions to benefit themselves or engaging in activities that is in conflict with public interest as demanded of them by the provisions of the fifth and seventh schedules of the 1999 Constitution, the breach of which taint and disqualifies all such actions at the elections,” the OPCD warned.

London Property Dispute Exposes Alleged Corruption, Forgery by Nigerian Politician and Lawyer
By Hassan Taiye
A recent judgment by the UK’s First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) has shed light on a complex web of alleged corruption and forgery involving a Nigerian politician and a senior lawyer. The case revolves around a disputed property in North London, valued at 79 Randall Avenue.
The property was purchased in 1993 under the name “Tali Shani,” which is allegedly an alias for late General Jeremiah Useni, a powerful member of the Abacha regime. Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, claimed the property was gifted to him by “Mr. Tali Shani” in 2021 as payment for legal services. However, the tribunal dismissed this claim, describing it as “fabricated” and “fraudulent.”
The tribunal’s ruling highlights the alleged involvement of Ozekhome and his associates in fabricating documents, including a Nigerian passport, National Identification Number (NIN), and Tax Identification Number (TIN). The NIN was reportedly created remotely from Monaco using a non-compliant photograph and bypassing biometric requirements ¹.
The Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA Resource Centre) has petitioned the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate Ozekhome and others over alleged fraud, forgery, and unlawful attempt to acquire the London property. The ICPC has launched an investigation, and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) has also taken notice of the case ²

The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has resigned from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet amid a growing controversy surrounding his academic credentials.
Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga confirmed Nnaji’s resignation in a statement issued late Tuesday.
Nnaji’s exit follows mounting allegations that his academic certificates were forged. Investigations revealed that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), disowned the Bachelor of Science degree he claimed to possess, stating that he never completed his studies at the institution and was therefore not issued any certificate.
According to UNN Vice-Chancellor Prof. Simon U. Ortuanya, Nnaji was admitted in 1981 but failed to meet the requirements for graduation.
In a related development, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) reportedly disowned the certificate of national service presented by Nnaji, describing it as fake.
His resignation marks the latest in a series of controversies to hit the Tinubu administration over questions of integrity and accountability among public officials.
