“Nigeria is a work-in-progress & the quality of governance in the country is dependent on the Nigerian people's willingness to demand & work towards better leadership. Without a collective effort to seek change & improvement, the status quo is unlikely to shift.”

- 'Yemi Adamolekun

(Executive Director, EiE Nigeria)

Dear ,

The Governorship and State House of Assembly election dates are over, but the drama hasn't ended! The

APC

is in the lead with 15 states, while the

PDP

has managed to cling onto 9 states. Even the

NNPP

and

LP

managed to snag a state each! But wait, there's more! Two state elections

(Kebbi & Adamawa)

have been declared "

inconclusive

".

For the 8

off-cycle elections

, the ruling party, APC, is in power in

Ekiti, Ondo, Kogi, and Imo

, while the opposition party, PDP, is in control in

Osun, Edo and Bayelsa;

Anambra

is being led by APGA.

Some elections are being challenged and we'll keep you updated.

Regardless of who is declared the winner, it's time to ensure that our newly elected officials keep their word. 

Occupy your Office of the Citizen and hold them accountable to the promises they made during their campaigns.

"Igi Oyin"

means. Well, it's a Yoruba phrase that translates to

"honey tree."

No, it's not a tree that produces honey.

You'll have to read the article by Feyi Fawehinmi to find out what it really means. Click
