The Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has criticized his Plateau State counterpart, Jonah Jang, for “parading” himself as the chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum with a spiteful rebuke to stop “Jang-ing” about the position. 

Mr. Oshiomhole spoke on Thursday at the ninth Triennial Delegates Conference of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Abuja, where he berated labour leaders for failing to publicly condemn the controversy that has trailed the election. 

“When the facts are so clear, Comrade President of TUC, you can’t be quiet. You must take a position, if you believe from all that you have heard and seen. If you believe that Jang won, say so. And if you know that he did not, tell him to stop Janging,” Mr. Oshiomhole said, referring to the president of the Trade Union Congress, Peter Esele. '

It was drama of some sorts at the Ondo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Tuesday when two persons each claimed to be the state chairman of Accord Party (AP). They were both subsequently walked out of the courtroom.
The development, however, made the Justice Andovar Kaka’an-led three-member team to reserve further action on the petition of the party until it was able to settle the chairmanship issue. The AP had, in its petition, accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of disenfranchising its candidate, Mr Olawale Ojo, from participating in the October 20 governorship poll.
