INEC considers November 16 for Kogi West Senate fresh election

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it will consider the possibility of using the November 16 governorship election to conduct a fresh election for the Kogi West senatorial district.
The INEC national commissioner in charge of Kogi, Nasarawa and Kwara states, Mohammed Haruna, dropped the hint in Lokoja on Friday, October 11, News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
Realbuzzng.blogspot.com gathers that while fielding questions from newsmen on the Court Appeal judgment nullifying the election of Senator Dino Melaye, Haruna said that since the governorship election was still 34 days away, there was possibility for the election to hold same day. The Court of Appeal in Abuja nullified the election of PDP’s Melaye and ordered INEC to conduct fresh election within 90 days of its judgment. 
The judgment was on the petition filed by Senator Smart Adeyemi, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 26 election. The INEC national commissioner was in Lokoja for a workshop on fake news organised for media executives, journalists and bloggers by the International Foundation for Electoral System (IFES) in collaboration with INEC. Haruna told the participants to be wary of fake news and its implications, saying that unverified news should not be allowed space. He also enjoined them to support INEC to institute credible electoral process in the country. On concern in some quarters on the possible manipulation of the card reading machine by unscrupulous politicians, the national commissioner dismissed it as “practically impossible’’. He also assured that the commission would allow a level playing ground for all candidates in the election, but appealed to them to play the game according to rules.

There are a lot of people who would go to any length at making sure their favourite celebrities notice them when they come in contact with them, while there are some that do not bother about and just act their normal self even though they are star struck.

The lady whose identity was hidden was privileged to see  Wizkid  at an event talking to someone right in front of her.
