PDP will win Osun guber poll-----Fani-Kayode

By -
(Nigeria) Former Aviation Minister, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode said on Tuesday in Osogbo, Osun State that his decision to return to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was well-thought-out.
Speaking with newsmen, Fani-Kayode said it was better for him to "return home.”
The former minister said he left the All Progressives Congress, APC, because he did not like the way the party was being handled.
“Moreover, some of the issues that initially took me out of the PDP have already been addressed. 'I am back in the PDP for good, the APC is a party being managed by two individuals," Fani-Kayode alleged.
On the upcoming August 9 governorship election, the Ile-Ife-born politician said he was confident of PDP 's victory.
He said the people of Ife would vote massively for PDP’s candidate, Sen. Iyiola Omisore, who he described as a true son of Ile-Ife.
``This is an opportunity for the people of Ife to have their own person at the executive level in the state. Omisore was a Deputy Governor, my father was a Deputy Prime Minister in the old Western region.
``This time around, we are going for the highest executive level in Osun because Omisore has what it takes to be governor," he said.
The former minister expressed the view that the APC could not defeat the PDP on Aug. 9, stressing that the party `` will win convincingly.”

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law.

He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at
