“President Tinubu commends NEC members, especially Vice President Kashim Shettima and the 36 State Governors, for their advice,” Onanuga stated.
“He believes that the legislative process, which has already begun, provides an opportunity for inputs and necessary changes without withdrawing the bills from the National Assembly.”
Onanuga further noted that individuals or groups with reservations are encouraged to attend the upcoming public hearings and voice their concerns.

John![[VIDEO]: Akpabio's ally calls Ezekwesili an ‘insult to womanhood’ in heated exchange over Natasha's case 5 a8285da9 aa23 41a4 8dae 069f7b1685a1](https://turo247newz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/a8285da9-aa23-41a4-8dae-069f7b1685a1.jpeg)
A heated altercation broke out on Tuesday, March 25, between Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi of Ebonyi North and former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili during a Senate committee hearing.
The confrontation occurred at the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions session, which was reviewing a fresh petition submitted by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Ezekwesili was present alongside Abiola Akiode, Akpoti-Uduaghan’s counsel, and petitioner Zubairu Yakubu.
Tensions escalated when Yakubu attempted to speak while committee chairman Neda Imaseun was addressing the session.
He was asked to mute his microphone, prompting Ezekwesili to intervene.
Nwaebonyi, appearing as a witness for Senate President Godswill Akpabio, interrupted her, leading to an immediate clash.
“Compose yourself and stop making noise,” Ezekwesili told the senator.
The remark triggered an explosive response from Nwaebonyi, who shot back angrily.
“You’re a fool. What do you mean? Why are you talking to me like that? I will not take it. You’re an insult to womanhood. People like you cannot be here,” he retorted.

Ezekwesili did not hold back, calling Nwaebonyi a “hooligan,” further aggravating the situation.
The fiery exchange briefly disrupted the proceedings before order was restored.
In the aftermath, committee chairman Imaseun announced that the matter had been taken to court, abruptly ending the hearing.

Reps initiate process to make appeal court final arbiter for governorship election petitions

Published

A bill seeking to designate the Court of Appeal as the final authority for determining governorship election petitions has successfully passed its second reading in the House of Representatives. The bill, sponsored by Nnamdi Ezechi, the lawmaker representing Ndokwa East/Ndokwa West/Ukwuani federal constituency in Delta State, aims to amend Section 246 of the 1999 Constitution. Under the current provision, Section 246 stipulates that decisions by the Court of Appeal regarding election petitions related to national and state houses of assembly elections are final. Ezechis proposed amendment seeks to extend this finality to governorship elections as well. If passed, the law would prevent gubernatorial election disputes from reaching the Supreme Court. Ezechi, who introduced the bill in 2024, stated that the intention behind the legislation is to reduce the delays and costs associated with post-election litigation. The new law would eliminate the need for appeals to the Supreme Court, which has sometimes reversed decisions made by the Court of Appeal in gubernatorial cases. Recent cases highlight the issues with the current system. In 2023, the tribunal and Court of Appeal annulled the election of Caleb Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as governor of Plateau State, but the Supreme Court later overturned this ruling in January 2024, reaffirming Mutfwangs victory. Similarly, the Court of Appeal voided Abba Yusufs election as governor of Kano State, but the Supreme Court nullified this decision as well. If the bill is passed, it could significantly streamline the process and prevent further appeals, providing more stability to the countrys electoral system. The bill is now moving forward for further deliberation in the House of Representatives.The post Reps initiate process to make appeal court final arbiter for governorship election petitions appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
