September 7, 2023 APC Leader Emphasizes PEPC Judgment Grounded In Facts, Not Emotions

APC Leader Emphasizes PEPC Judgment Grounded In Facts, Not Emotions

In a virtual news conference held on Thursday, Mr. Jesutega Onokpasa, a prominent member of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) and a seasoned lawyer, emphasized that the judgment delivered by the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) on Wednesday was rooted in factual analysis, not driven by emotions.

Onokpasa stated that the petitioners had based their legal challenge to President Bola Tinubu's election victory on sentiments rather than substantial evidence, ultimately making the entire court process futile.

He expressed his disappointment, asserting, "The petitioners wasted our time as Nigerians asked the court's and lawyers' time. The position of the law is not sentimental but factual."

As a former member of the dissolved APC Presidential Campaign Council, Onokpasa noted that there were attempts to undermine and pressure the judiciary during the PEPC proceedings, but these efforts proved unsuccessful.

He also highlighted the significance of the ruling regarding the allocation of 25 per cent votes in Abuja, a decision that was met with much contention. According to him, this ruling established equal representation for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) alongside other states, dispelling any notion of unequal citizenry based on location.

Bbnaija All Stars: Omashola Reveals Kimoprah As His Ex-Girlfriend

In a surprising revelation, Big Brother Naija All Stars contestant Omashola, fondly known as Sholzy, opened up about his past romantic involvement with fellow houseguest Kim Oprah.

This confession shed light on why Kim seemed upset after he didn't choose her as one of his BFFs following his Head of House victory on Monday.

During his diary session on Thursday, Sholzy candidly shared that he refrained from selecting Kim as a BFF to safeguard his current relationship with his fiancée, prioritising their bond above all else.

 He explained, "KimOprah was mad I didn’t pick her for BFF. I can’t because she’s my ex-girlfriend. I have a woman that I love so much. I’m not willing to jeopardise that relationship."

Sholzy further emphasised that he never intended to lead Kim on, stating, "She [Kim] is now giving me attitude, making it seem like I’m in a relationship with her again. She needs to stick with who she is and be content."

Recalling the events, Sholzy ultimately chose CeeC, Mercy, Ilebaye, and Whitemoney as his BFFs after emerging as the Head of the House earlier in the week. This revelation adds a new layer of complexity to the dynamics within the Big Brother Naija All-Stars house.
