LP charges union members to take over govt
The Labour Party of Nigeria has issued a statement, declaring that until their party forms the government, workers in the country will continue to protest over various industrial disputes. According to the party, this will only be possible if the stolen mandate of the Nigerian people is given to the Labour Party to administer Nigeria. All these feats would not have been possible were it not because of the support of Nigerian workers and the Nigerian people. We are using this opportunity of May Day to assure the workers that we will continue to struggle until we recover our stolen mandate.

Open letter to Tinubu on Oyo people’s support
This young, energetic and charismatic personality is a blessing to Oyo State and indeed the Nigerian nation. The list of our A-list pro-Asiwaju supporters from Oyo State are inexhaustible. The result shows total votes cast across all the 33 Local Government Areas with Tinubu’s APC winning a landslide. In Ogun State, our leader (Tinubu) polled a total of 341,554 votes across the 20 local government areas in the state to emerge victorious, yet like in Ondo, still below Oyo State result. Oyo State needs more federal presence in terms of quality projects and patronage for our people.

Inadequate judges worsening prison congestion – Cleric
The National Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Sunday Akande, has said the inadequacy of judges has led to adjournments of court cases which have resulted in the congestion of correctional facilities across the country. The cleric stated this on Saturday during the fourth edition conference themed, ‘Wonders of Freedom,’ held by the Prison and Hospital Ministry of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, at the Redemption Camp, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State. Akande, who was represented at the event by the Director of the Office of the General Overseer, Pastor Akin John, also called on the government to build more correctional facilities. He said, “An alternative dispute resolution legal process should be deeply explored because many of the people that are confined to the prisons are not often given fair trials and God is not happy with this. Many of them who could not meet their bail terms are also thrown into confinement and this wastes their productive years.”
