Edo poll: Oshiomhole condemns Obaseki’s wife over comment on candidates marital status

Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has slammed the First Lady of the state, Betsy Obaseki, over her comment that only the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo, has a wife among the contenders for the state governorship election.

During the PDP’s campaign flag-off at the Ubiaja Township Stadium in Esan South-East Local Government Area, Mrs Obaseki introduced Ighodalo’s wife, Ifeyinwa, to the crowd, emphasising the importance of having a woman in the Government House.

She said, “Let us vote for the best candidate in this coming election, and I want to introduce the wife. Incidentally, among all the candidates, only one has a wife, and it’s our own party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo. Only he has a wife. This is the wife, Mrs. Ifeyinwa Ighodalo.

“Edo women, know that only one candidate has a wife. Better things come to women when there’s a woman in the Government House. All women in Edo, regardless of party, should see the candidate who has a wife. They will take us higher.”

Oshiomhole, however, faulted the comment by the First Lady in an interview with TVC.

He stated that the All Progressives Congress candidate, Monday Okpebholo, has children in whom he has invested their education, adding that their mother joined them at recent campaigns.

“Our candidate not only has children; he has invested in the education of those children. The first one that spoke is a lawyer, the second one is a medical doctor, and they addressed the crowd in Edo South, Edo Central, and Edo North; and their mother was there,” he said.

Court orders FCCPC to shut Coscharis Motors over defective Range Rover sale

A Nigerian court has ordered the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) to seal the operations of Coscharis Motors after the company allegedly failed to comply with directives linked to the sale of a defective Range Rover vehicle to a customer. According to TheCable, the ruling followed a legal dispute in which the customer accused the luxury automobile dealer of supplying a faulty Range Rover and failing to provide satisfactory remedies. The court reportedly directed the FCCPC to enforce compliance by shutting down the company’s premises until the matter is resolved. The judgment is seen as another major test of consumer protection enforcement in Nigeria’s automobile sector. The FCCPC has increasingly intensified actions against companies accused of violating consumer rights in recent years. Earlier cases involved sanctions and enforcement actions against firms in sectors including pay television and real estate. Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has not publicly released full details of the enforcement process at the time of reporting.
