Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki
A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, and the party’s governorship candidate in last year’s governorship election in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, have asked Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDPl to be magnanimous in victory, over his last Friday’s favourable judgment of the Supreme Court.
Edo PDP spokesman Chris Nehikhare, however, kicked against the admonition, describing the APC leaders’ demands as unmerited.
Oshiomhole, yesterday in a congratulatory message by his media aide, Victor Oshioke, said: “Congratulations on your victory at the Supreme Court, which has effectively laid to rest all matters arising from the last election.

DETROIT – “It’s one of the darkest chapters of American history,” said Democratic Michigan Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence.
That’s how Lawrence described the Tulsa Race Massacre during a Zoom call with the Congressional Black Caucus.
It happened May 31, 1921. It was during that time, when a well affluent Black community, known as the Black Wall Street or the Greenwood District was burned to the ground.
“The families were on target to create generational wealth. It was snatched from them, from an act of violence and racism,” said Lawrence.
The BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had used the alleged scam to the hilt while mounting a fierce campaign against the Congress in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
