In a state-of-the-nation address to the press yesterday, the party’s national chairman, Yunusa Tanko, alleged that INEC was requesting the powers from the National Assembly to reduce the number of political parties in existence. The party condemned a move by INEC to acquire the power to disqualify candidates, adding that disqualifications should be left to political parties.

Arowolo the alleged killer An Ikeja High Court, yesterday, reserved judgement in the trial of Akolade Arowolo, who allegedly knifed his wife, Titilayo, a banker, to death sometime in 2011. Justice Lateefat Okunnu informed both counsels in the case that the date for judgement would be communicated to them later by the court. Okunnu stated this after both parties re-adopted their final written addresses. Arowolo, 31, was arraigned on December 21, 2011, on a charge of killing of his wife by stabbing her several times, but he pleaded innocence of the crime.
