A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo state, Barrister Richard Ihenaekhien has taken to the social media to bring out damning evidence of past misdeeds of the acting Chairman of the ruling All Program Congress, APC, in Edo state Emperor Jarret Tenebe.
In a well documented treatises pieced together by Penpushers, an online medium, Ihensekien’s angst stem from the APC’s chairman’s vituperations which culminated with the later calling his wife a prostitute on social media.
According to the PDP chieftain: “The APC Acting State chairman, Jarret Tenebe hate has been seriously exposed as he has been casting aspersions on people mainly in PDP. His penchant for a dog fight is being exposed particularly after calling the APC Governorship candidate,Asue Ighodalo, a thief on social media and afterwards putting up of Richard Ihensekhien wife’s pictures on Facebook calling her a prostitute on social media. A highly despicable act for which the entire party,APC that he leads should be ashamed.
“This has now led people to dig to know who the person Jarret Tenebe really is. People are surprised and disappointed that a character of Jarret Tenebe could be the Chairman of a major political party. Particularly a party that has serving senators, House of Representatives and State Assembly members. A man whose past is so despicable , nothing to be pleased about and so embarrassing”.
Further, he stated: “Tenebe was a corporal in the Nigerian Army, he deserted the Army (AWOL )after he was involved in armed robbery in lagos , along Badagry/ Seme expressway using the Army uniform.He was declared wanted by both the Army and the Nigeria Police authorities after the robbery incident especially for the loss of innocent lives that were involved. He has since then not reported to the military for investigation and yet prides himself everywhere as an ex-soldier.
On the homefront; “His family life is in shambles and tatters. He claims to be married but has abandoned his wife over the years and does not even see or communicate with her even when he visits lagos, which he often does. The wife is said to be suffering from acute depression resulting from abandonment by her supposed husband and only lives on proceeds from the rents she collects form the boys quarters of her house she rented out.However, he uses her name to beg for money all about, ranging from medicals to other unfathomable reasons.What an irresponsible man?
Jarret is also alleged to be at daggers drawn with his siblings with whom he is not on speaking terms over the years. His mother died while they kept malice. Yet,he started using her death to raise money for himself to survive.
“He is said to have been diagnosed with very serious diabetes and Erectile dysfunction. His man hood is not functioning anymore, he cannot have intimate affairs with a woman let alone make love to his supposed wife for years
“He is always seen in the company of young girls but they tell you he is not functional and just keeps them for company to deceive the public of his disability.
“He goes about claiming another person’s child in the US, saying the girl is his daughter. The pictures of the young girl and her mother will soon be released. The child in the US is not his. DNA results will reveal that. He is not capable of producing children after he took an oath in a shrine in lagos for money. The money he got and frittered away without any single thing to show.
“After over 20 years of living on people and begging from one person to the other he is now a habitual begger known to everybody.
“He was arrested and beaten up by soldiers from the 4th Mechanised Brigade of the Nigerian Army after he was caught stealing crude oil products from burst pipelines in Warri along side some miscreants. He was terribly beaten up thrown into a container and taken to Bayelsa and detained . He was thereafter handed over to the EFCC for prosecution. In his usual character of blackmail, he tried spiritedly to rope in some top level PDP members in his infamy, desperate attempt to secure temporary freedom.please google ( Jarret Tenebe;oil thief on the internet for more details)”.
Ihensekien therefore wants the Economic Financial Crimea Commission, EFCC, to revisit the case and explain to Nigerians why Jarrett Tenebe is not in jail today when he was hunted by the Nigerian Police and he couldn’t even leave the country using airports if not for his long time associate who was then an officer attached to the airport who severally smuggled him through the airport.
“Jarret is a confirmed thief and criminal as confirmed by Google reports. I wonder how he can open his mouth to call a renowned African bureaucrat like Asue Ighodalo and the former Edo state gov thieves , it is a sign of early stages of madness.
“He also is a drug addict, addicted to tramadol tablets and capsule which he takes at least 10 tablets at once after which he loses his senses and do unusual things like calling another man’s wife a prostitute on Facebook. He is a user of Indian hemp called loud and kolos, abusing these substances above his limits hence he suffers from disorganized thinking at most times. He is a drug addict.
“There are witnesses to testify that he sponsored some secret cult members to kill and create public disorders during the cult clashes in Edo state. He recently threatened one pharez okpere on FB, that if he doesn’t leave Benin, he will kill him. He is a disgrace and Apc should be ashamed to say Jarrett is their Acting chairman.
“He is a pretender and has vowed that if he is confirmed chairman of APC in the next congress the first people he would crush is Hon Gani Audu, Comrade Oshiomole and Lawrence okah. He is working with Philip Shaibu for him to replace Oshiomole at the senate. He hates them; Oshiomole, Joseph Ugheoke and Gani Audu internally with a passion. He is a political jobber.
When contacted, the APC chairman rebuffed this reporter and is quoted to have said; “You can go ahead and publish”
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Commissioner for Information and Voter Education, Mohammed Haruna, has revealed that the commission has received over N500 billion, which accounts for more than 50 percent of the budget allocated for the 2027 general elections.
During an interview with Arise News on Friday regarding election readiness and funding, Haruna said that the disbursement of these funds is a positive development.
However, he also highlighted INEC’s concerns regarding outstanding debts from previous elections and the timely release of the remaining funds necessary to fully implement their plans.
He said, “Currently, we have received more than half of the allocated funds, approximately N500 billion or slightly more. This represents over 50% of the total amount.
“Naturally, there are still some issues to address. We have debts from the last general election due to insufficient funding at that time.
“We owe contractors around six billion, and from the statutory allocation of over 140 billion for that year, we still have an outstanding amount of over 20 billion. I believe it was just this month that the first 500 billion was released, about a week or two ago.”
In response to concerns regarding delayed funding, Haruna stated that INEC has already commenced preparations for the 2027 elections, which includes plans to acquire additional BVAS devices and other essential election materials.
“Certainly, we are concerned. Everyone shares this concern. Ultimately, the funds must be available. Therefore, it is encouraging news that more than half has been released.
Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has dismissed reports that he has defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, insisting that he remains a committed member of the APC.
Ganduje described as false and politically motivated the posters circulating on social media alleging that he had left the ruling party.
He said, “The claims were part of a deliberate misinformation campaign aimed at misleading the public, creating confusion among APC supporters, and generating unnecessary political speculation.”
In a statement issued by his former Commissioner for Information and Chief of Staff, Muhammad Garba, the former Kano State governor stressed that $he has never considered leaving the APC, a party he once led as National Chairman”.
He maintained that reports linking him to the NDC lack both political and logical basis.
Ganduje further stated that the APC remains the country’s largest political party and continues to gain support under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
He reaffirmed his commitment to working with the party’s leadership to advance the President Bola Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The former APC chairman also revealed that those responsible for producing and circulating the alleged defection posters had been identified. He warned that legal action would be taken if the materials were not withdrawn and the spread of the claims did not stop immediately.
He urged party members, supporters and the general public to disregard the posters, insisting that they do not reflect his political position or intentions.
A new legal battle is unfolding within the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) after governorship aspirant Mukhtar Muhammad and four other aggrieved members asked the Federal High Court to nullify the party’s primary elections in Kano State.
In an Originating Summons filed with the court, the plaintiffs — Shuaib Abubakar Fagge, Mustapha Salisu Musa (Fanandas), Musa Hudu Yusuf, Mukhtar Muhammad, and Mahfuz Yahuza — are challenging the legality of the NDC primaries held on May 28, 2026.
They are also seeking an order restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising any candidate who emerged from the exercise.
The suit alleges widespread violations of the Electoral Act 2026, the NDC constitution, and the party’s guidelines for the 2027 general election.
It questions both the conduct of the primaries and the process for distributing Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to aspirants.
According to court filings, the plaintiffs contend that the party unlawfully delegated the sale and distribution of nomination forms in Kano State to a single individual.
They argue that the arrangement allowed one party member to decide who received forms and participated in the primaries, in breach of the Electoral Act, the party’s constitution, and its election guidelines.
The responsibility for issuing nomination forms, they insist, cannot legally be transferred to an individual or faction within the party.
The plaintiffs further allege that no valid primary election recognised by law was conducted. They claim there was no proper accreditation of delegates or members, no voting, counting, or collation of votes as required under the Electoral Act and the party’s guidelines.
They also alleged they were unlawfully denied nomination forms despite being eligible party members. They say the denial effectively excluded them from the primaries for the governorship, House of Representatives, and Kano State House of Assembly in the Fagge, Tarauni, and Gwale constituencies.
The plaintiffs ask the court to declare that the NDC breached its constitutional and statutory obligations by denying them an equal opportunity to contest and by failing to provide a level playing field for all aspirants.
Among the reliefs sought are orders nullifying the entire primary elections conducted by the NDC in Kano State on 28 May 2026, covering the governorship, House of Representatives, and State Assembly primaries.
They also seek to have the Certificate of Return issued to Aminu Suleiman Goro as the party’s candidate for the Fagge Federal Constituency set aside, and to restrain him from parading himself as the party’s flag bearer pending fresh primaries.
In addition, the plaintiffs seek perpetual injunctions restraining INEC from accepting, recognising, publishing, or acting on the names of candidates produced from the disputed primaries.
They further asked the court to compel the NDC to hold fresh primary elections for the affected constituencies in strict compliance with the Electoral Act, the party’s constitution, and its election guidelines.
The lead plaintiff also seeks a refund of the ₦2 million allegedly paid for his Expression of Interest and Nomination Form, together with ₦200 million in general and exemplary damages for breach of contract and denial of the opportunity to participate in the primaries.
The suit, filed by counsel Moses Ademola Falana of Nayara Legal Consult, is expected to test the legality of the NDC’s primary election process in Kano. If the court grants the reliefs sought, it could significantly affect the party’s preparations for the 2027 general election.
