POLITICS#10thSenatePresidency, #BolaTinubu, #Democracy, #OrjiUzorKalu

Senate President: What Should Not Happen Between Bola Tinubu and Orji Kalu Since I am not a spokesperson for any politician, I worked harder than any other intellectuals of my calibre to see Tinubu's presidency to fruition robustly just in the interest of Nation-Building and National Interest.

We must rather advocate for the right thing to do at this time of our evolving democracy. Having written a few paragraphs on this platform yesterday, I need to say that…

OPINION, POLITICS#AloyEjimakor, #BolaTinubu, #Jurisdiction, INEC

Inaugurating a new President on May 29 is not absolute By ALOY EJIMAKOR Yesterday (May 4, 2023), I tweeted on my Twitter handle that “Given that the FINALITY of election result is decided by the Court, except where the INEC-declared result is uncontested, it’s unconstitutional to swear-in a winner whose victory has not been affirmed by the Court. Where’s the law that says such a winner must be sworn-in? None!” Since then, I have received a barrage of direct messages and requests to publicly speak more on this.
