Forgery: Why Osun Judge rescued self from Alawo Chieftaincy Case

0
Penultimately Wednesday, the Presiding Judge of Osun State High Court 5, sitting in Osogbo Judicial Division,Hon. Justice Ayo Oyebiyi rescued himself from Alawo Chieftaincy Case before him by returning the case file back to the office of the Chief Justice of the State, Hon. Justice Adepele Ojo for reallocation of the case to another judge.
The case was adjourned for hearing by allowing the Plaintiffs to move their application for amendment but to the surprise of the Counsels and litigants in the suit with No: HOS/84/2021, the presiding Justice Oyebiyi announced during the sitting that he would no longer preside over the Suit but the case file has been returned to the State Chief Judge for reassignment.
But investigation revealed that the presiding judge rescued himself from the case due to the judgement of the Appeal Court that nullified the fraudulent appointment of one Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye as new Alawo of Awo on September 13th,2021 by immediate past Governor of Osun State,Mr. Gboyega Oyetola.
The Appeal Court,Akure Judicial Division in its judgement on 8th August,2022,nulified the illegal appointment and installation of Taiwo Adegboye as new Alawo by directing him(Adegboye) not to parade himself as new Alawo  elsewhere again.
Quoting the part of Appeal Court Judgement, “An order is hereby made setting aside the selection,the appointment,the approval and the installation of the second Appellant, Honourable Adegboye Taiwo Rasaq,as the Alawo of Awo, some of which acts were carried by the eight to the eleventh Respondents, and they were carried out after this appeal had been entered on the 25th of June,2021 and was pending before this Court and the second Appellant (Adegboye) is directed to vacate the Stool forthwith.
“The Second Appellant, Honourable Adegboye Taiwo Rasaq,is hereby restrained from parading himself as or performing any of the functions of the Alawo of Awo or wearing or displaying any insignia of the office of Alawo of Awo, including beads, crowns and all other paraphernalia of the stool pending the final determination of this action by the lower Court”.
Quoting the Supreme Court of Nigeria that it is trite principle of law to obey the order of the Court as contained in the case of Abacha V. Fawehinmi (2002) 2SCNQR 489 at 546 thus: “…… It is the law that a decision of a Court of competent jurisdiction,no matter that if seems palpable null and void, unattractive or unsupportable,remains good law and uncompromisingly binding until set aside by a superior Court of competent jurisdiction.”
Meanwhile, a human rights organization,the Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ) has written the new Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, exposing the usage of forgery selection documents and wrong law to install Taiwo Adegboye where Oyetola claimed that they jetitioned the due process of law and order of the Court on the appointment and installation of Adegboye because he(Adegboye) was former Councilor under the platform of All Progressives Congress ( APC).
CHRSJ insisted that Taiwo Adegboye’s appointment and subsequent installation was characterized with forgery of selection documents, flagrant disobedience to Court orders and usage of wrong law of repealed,obsolete and outdated 1957 Declaration, instead of subsisting 1979 Registered Alawo of Awo Chieftaincy Declaration.
The Petition Letter dated Tuesday 6th of December,2022 and signed by the CHRSJ’s Assistant General Secretary (AGS), Pastor Michael Agaasi, also exposing the forgery selection documents in favour of Taiwo Rasaq Adegboye, which contained different thumbprint impressions and signatures of the Head/Mogaji and Secretary of Abioye Ruling House/Compound,Awo.
Agaasi then called for unbiased investigation into the forgery allegations of selection documents in Alawo stool process by  informing Governor Adeleke that no member of Abioye Ruling House/Compound, Awo, held any meeting anytime/anywhere on the acclaimed date of 24st August,2020 in purported selection documents,where officials of Egbedore Local Government,Awo, claimed to be an observers without any evidence of “Video Clip or Photograph” in this computer age,to show where the sons and daughters of Abioye Ruling House/ Compound,Awo,met to choose Taiwo Rasaq Adegboye as their candidate then.
It also faulted the claims of Egbedore Local Government officials in the purported forgery selection documents that ONLY Taiwo Rasaq Adegboye obtained the Expression of Interest Form from Abioye Ruling House/Compound,Awo,whereas it was pit of lies from the said officials contrary to the contents in their purported election/selection Letter with Reference N0: ELG.396/T/60, dated and signed by one Mrs. Olabimtan F. Abiola, Council Manager for Chairman then, adding that there were two persons including; Comrade (Prince) Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman with phone number (+2348038591504/+2348022697573) .
It  insisted that the fake aforementioned documents were accepted to appoint Taiwo Adegboye illegally by former Governor through his Special Adviser on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Rasaq Adeosun, in flagrant disobedience to the Court order made on 27th August,2020 by Justice M.O. Agboola that all parties should maintain “Status Quo” in HED/26/2020.
It added that the case of Taiwo Adegboye was just a similar case of candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC) in 2019 Bayelsa State Governorship election where Supreme Court of Nigeria in Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) & 2Ors. V. Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo & 3Ors, declared the PDP candidate who is the second run-up in the said election as winner of the Governorship election because of the forgery act of APC Deputy Governor-Elect then.
CHRSJ hinged on the premise of Governor Adeleke’s vow that ‘Rule of Law’ would be the watchword of his administration,which made him to give an executive order on the implementation of Court judgements since assumption of office.
Part of the Letter reads thus; “The process was manipulated against the CHRSJ’s Executive Chairman, Comrade (Prince) Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman (+2348038591504/+2348022697573), who is the only qualified candidate from Abioye Ruling House/Compound, Awo, for Alawo stool without having any forgery act in his favour during the purported process.
” But former Governor Gboyega Oyetola and his Special Adviser on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Evangelist Rasaq Adeosun,claimed that Prince Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman is the State leader of opposition to Government of All Progressive Congress (APC) and as well as strong supporter of Governor Ademola Adeleke during the 2017 Senatorial Bye-Election, Governorship election in 2018 and Governorship election in 2022 respectively.”
While urging Governor Adeleke to also respect the Appeal Court judgement on Alawo stool by ordering the security agents for immediate take over of the palace of Alawo as Adeleke did recently in respect of Owa of Igbajo,Aree and Akinrun stools, saying disrespect for the appellate Court judgement by Oyetola’s administration was bad omen for development of our democracy.
It therefore urged Governor Adeleke to set up a Judicial Administrative Panel of Inquiry(JAPI) to unravel the usage of forgery selection documents and wrong law of 1957 instead of subsisiting 1979 Chieftaincy Declaration used to appoint and install Taiwo Adegboye illegally.

SERG Endorses Peter Obi, Thanks Afenifere, PANDEF, SMBLF, ADC, Northern Leaders, Youths and Women For Support

Pan-Igbo sociopolitical pressure group, the South East Revival Group (SERG) has formally endorsed the Presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed for president, thanking the Northern APC Christian leaders, Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Afenifere, the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF), the African Democratic Party (ADC), Nigerian women and youths for their total support for their supporting the Obidient Movement.

The group urged Nigerians to ignore the distracting voices of insignificant few and selfish elites in the South East region who appear to be against the the Peter Obi candidacy.

In a statement signed by its President and National Coordinator, Chief Willy Ezugwu, the SERG stated that it has to formerly declare support for the Obi-Datti Presidential bid and appreciate Nigerians the support for Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed for a new Nigeria.

“We therefore hail the Nigerian people who saw the light at the end of the tunnel and opted to pass through the difficult route to ensure that there is a better tomorrow for the country men and women born and yet to be born.

“The SERG insists that our support for Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed has nothing to do with ethicism as Mr Obi is not the only Igbo man running for President in 2023. It is a choice already made by the Nigerian people that we are backing.

“This is because Nigeria needs resetting to be able to function optimally and effectively. That’s the way to go and that is what Peter Obi presidency represents for Nigeria.

“We urge all Nigerians and people of good conscience across the world to continue to support the choice of the ordinary people of Nigeria, Mr Peter Obi, to give the country the kind of leadership that has eluded us for a long time.

“To demonstrate his examplary love for the country, Peter Obi is the only Presidential candidate that defied security challenges and traveled to Borno South of Borno State in the North East at the expense of his own life to be able to see things for himself and feel the pulse of the people of the insurgency ravaged region.

“Peter Obi said the he believes that a man can only die once and has proven that he love Nigeria and the oneness of the most populous country in Africa by refusing to yield to persuasions not to visit Southern Borno.

“He has a track record as he led Anambra in an examplary manner, tackled insecurity in the state and became the only Governor in recent times that left as high as N75 billion for his successor after paying salaries, all executed contracts, pensions and gratuities.

“As President, Nigeria will come out of the woods if Peter Obi is given the opportunity to reboot country by reshaping its leadership.

“At this juncture, we call on all Nigerians to ignore the antics of the insignificant few and the anti-Peter Obi elitist voices in the South East because elections are about the choice of the majority.

“In the South East, Igbos’ love for Peter Obi will be unequivocally expressed at the ballot boxes across the South Eastern states and the entire country on Saturday when the majority would have had their way and the minority would have had their say”, the SERG stated.

How Hunter Discovered Bag Full of PVCs in Anambra Forest

By Izunna Okafor, Awka

A yet-to-be-identified hunter has has discovered a bag full of Permanent Voters’ Card (PVCs) in a forest in Nnewi, Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

This is coming just three days to the 2023 general election in Nigeria.

It was gathered that the hunter saw the bag containing the PVCs in a bush in Akamili, a community in Nnewi on Tuesday, and later took it to the premises of a radio station, the Authority FM in Nnewi.

Speaking to newsmen, the Station Manager of the Authority FM, Mr Charles Ede said he was off duty when the cards were brought, but, however, said his staff member reported the incident to him.

“I was off duty when the incident happened, but one of my staff members received the hunters when they came. I will send you his number,” he said.

A video of the PVCs, which was shot in the compound of the radio station, and which is still trending online, shows that the PVCs are all valid.

The radio station’s staff who did a short commentary on the video urged those who were yet to get their PVCs to come to the premises of the FM to check if they can find theirs.

It was also gathered that most of the PVCs were owned by people from Nnewi South Local Government Area.

A staff of Authority FM who identified himself as Ikenna confirmed that he received the PVCs, and that they have all been taken to the Obi of Umudim community in Nnewi.

Efforts to contact the Public Relations Officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Anambra State, Dr. Kingsley Agu, for his reaction about how the PVCs got to the area, proved abortive, as his phone number was not connecting.

In his own reaction on the development, the Spokesperson of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the Command has not received any such complaint from the concerned authority.

“Given the above, the Commissioner of Police, CP Echeng Echeng, has ordered investigations into the video to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident and possibly arrest the suspects behind the act.

“Therefore, the command is constrained to make further comments and any development in this regard shall be communicated.”

By Izunna Okafor, Nnewi

The member representing Nnewi North/Nnewi South/Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Chris Azubogu has denied kneeling down before his constituents to apologise to them for his poor representation and under-performance in his almost 12 years in office as their representative.

A video started trending on social media on Monday, alleging that the Nnewi-born Reps member knelt before the residents of Umudim Nnewi when he visited them on a community tour, and allegedly started begging them to forgive him “for not representing them well bringing home any project throughout his 12 years in office.”

According to a caption attached to the video, Hon. Azubogu, who is also the candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for Anambra South Senatorial Zone, was said to have begged the constituents to have mercy on him for his past mistakes, while also begging them to support and vote him to become their senator, so that he would use the senatorial mandate to do the works he couldn’t do for them at the Green Chamber.

The viral video shows the Reps member who is dressed in APGA attire as he knelt before a large crowd of Nnewi indigenes whom he was addressing with a megaphone at the campaign ground. While on his knees, he was seen still speaking to the crowd and gesturing his hands as that of one making an appeal, but his words could not be heard clearly any longer, due to noise from the crowd.

He was, however, helped up by some benevolent youths who came out from the crowd to help assist him after having knelt under the sun for some time.

A feminine voice was also heard from among the crowd, asking to know how much the Reps member donated to them, as he was being quietly led out of the scene by the youths.

Howbeit, Hon. Azubogu has debunked the video and the caption given to it as lie and figment of the opposition elements to slander his personality and stall his senatorial ambition.

Reacting through his media aide, Mr. Ikechukwu Onyia, the Reps member said he was there at Umudim Nnewi to campaign and make the people see the reason to support his senatorial ambition, based on his numerous achievements as their representative at the Green Chamber.

He also sent some videos from the campaign rally, showing him as he addressed the crowd who were clapping and cheering him up when he was enumerated the various projects he attracted, executed or is currently executing in different parts of the community.

Some of the projects he mentioned, include the Ukwu Ofor—Afor Ukpor Road, Traffic Light—Oraifite Road, Gabros—Ebenezer Road; Ahiadiegwu—Nkwor Akwu Road, among others, as well as four roads each in Okpuno-Egbu Village and Uhu Village respectively.

While recalling how he facilitated the recent completion of a correctional centre in Umudim which was started and abandoned for over 30 years (during the Shehu Shagari’s Administration); he also promised to execute more projects, including the Afor Iro—Umuezena Road, among others, if elected senator come February 25, 2023.

“If I did all these with this lower office I occupy now, I am promising you that I will do greater when I get to higher office,” he assured the constituents in one of the videos from the campaign rally.

Adebanjo made the appeal when he hosted the leadership of the Atunluse Initiatives, a socio-cultural and political group, on Tuesday in Lagos

The Afenifere leader said the country is at a difficult period needed someone like Obi to rescue the current situation.

He said it was the responsibility of every Nigerian to fight for its freedom.

“We don’t have money to fight them, but we must do everything legitimately to free ourselves.

“Because we agreed that we will be sharing the elective position between the North and the South, South-West had their share under Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, it went back to the North under Umaru Yar’Adua.

“Goodluck Jonathan also did his own from South South and it went back to North, now coming back to South, it should be given to the South-East in the name of equity, justice and fairness,” he said.

According to him, it is the turn of the South-East to produce the next president of the country.

Also speaking, Mr Akinsola Akinbobola, Chairman of the Atunluse Initiatives, thanked the nonagenarian for his efforts at uniting Nigeria.

Akinbobola and few leaders of Atunluse later had a closed door meeting with Pa Adebanjo and other Afenifere leaders.

The Coordinator of the Atunluse Initiatives, Mr Olaseni Shalom, said the organisation would make their choice of presidential candidate known after its meeting with the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) delegation on Wednesday in Akure.

Olaseni reiterated that Atunluse would remain resolute with the masses and for the advancement of good governance and better life for Nigerians.

Rivers: Amaechi Is Not Hobnobbing With Atiku, Eze Replies Ogbonna Nwuke

0

…Says if Amaechi Wants to Work for Atiku, he Will Do So at Daytime not in the Night

Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has described as untrue claims by the Wike faction of the Rivers PDP that former Transportation Minister, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is hobnobbing with PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and has thrown his weight behind his presidency ahead of Saturday elections.

The Rivers faction chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party Campaign Council (PDPCC) through its Director of Publicity and Communications, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke, had alleged that Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi is a member of the ‘wicked’ cabal punishing the people with fuel and naira-swap crises and challenged Amaechi to deny that he was not part of persons making life a nightmare for Nigerians.

Nwuke said Amaechi was also working secretly for the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, alleging the former Rivers Governor recently reconciled with members of the PDP’s Presidential Campaign Council in Rivers.

He said Amaechi had been working secretly and holding meetings with Atiku and others in the cabal to starve the country of the much-needed funds in the name of politics.

Reacting through a statement made available to the media, the APC chieftain and member of APC Legacy Projects Media Team said Amaechi remains one principled Political Leader in whose integrity Nigeria prides and cannot be caught in the web of political cowardice like Gov. Wike who is clearly playing the ostrich in a clear bid to escape culpability for the mountainous legacy of failure his administration is about to bequeath to Rivers State and her people.

Eze recalled that in 2014, when it was a taboo to be associated with General Muhammadu Buhari and opposition interests, Rt. Hon. Amaechi singlehandedly supported Buhari and in 2015 and 2019 respectively when he won as President and sought re-election, Rt. Hon. Amaechi served as Director General of Campaigns and and he played roles of that office with the boldest attention and commitment required for the task at the glare of the world.

The party Chief described as vague the fictitious claim that Amaechi is part of the cabal allegedly responsible for the fuel and cash swap crisis and challenged Ogbonna and his paymaster to furnish Nigerians with detail of roles played by former Governor Amaechi; when and where such roles were played to further the fuel crisis and cash crunch as a weapon against the people.

Eze said there is no validity in Ogbonna’s irresponsible assertion and his ill-propelled and unfounded statement is only good to impress Governor Wike who has instructed his likes to use the media to drag Amaechi into their morally irking, fruitless macabre and catastrophic political voyage.

Dismissing claims that Amaechi has pitched tent with Atiku, the party stalwart said although every Nigerian reserve the right to association and the PDP presidential candidate is one man who has made adequate preparations and is stocked with the requisite experience and leadership expertise to take the country out of woods, but Amaechi as a loyal party man has his integrity and public interest to protect and every actions and inactions he has taken are geared towards that direction and particularly guided by the love of country.

Instead of digging up falsehood with which to taint Amaechi, Eze said Ogbonna Nwuke and his likes should encourage their Principal to drop the idea of attempting to run away from the country after the elections and prepare for life outside Brick House. Having messed himself up, Wike should stay and face the reality of what he has done to himself.

Eze sympathizes with Nwuke who is not in the picture that Governor Wike whom he is defending is looking for a way to run away from the county immediately after the elections are over knowing the consequences that await him. Presently Wike’s faction of PDP is in disarray and most of her principal actors like Nwanosike, Ariolu and others have reached out to Senator Lee Meaba and pledged to work for Atiku’s victory.

Eze expressed sympathy for Nwuke for joining a wrecked ship that is headed nowhere and is sure to sink in a matter of days and wish him a speedy recovery from the deep injuries he will sustain from the impending wreckage.

Dan’Agundi disclosed to Governor Ganduje at the Kano state government house roundabout in front of thousands of supporters vying to serve as agents for free.

According to Dan’Agundi “I told them they dont need to show their declaration in my office, rather they should endeavour to come down to this roundabout and declare their interest resin front of you, Your Excellency”

“They all came here willingly without financial support from the governor or any stakeholder in the party,” He said.

The Director explained most of the supporters trekked from their respective locations like kurnar asabe, hotoro and many more to witness the gathering.

Dan’Agundi also reminded the Governor that when he bought President Buhari to Kano, he was voted without a single penny and assured same will be extended to Tinubu.

He further relayed women’s message to the governor saying they will vote for the sake of the first lady, Prof. Hafsat Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for her unending commitment to supporting women in Kano state.
