MEET EMMANUEL NNODIM, BIGGEST THORN IN THE FLESH OF GANIYU JOHNSON.

POLITICS
*Hon Emmanuel Nnodim
Despite that he recently took several buses delegation of his famous GAJ Campaign organization to Abuja for his inauguration into the Federal House of Reps and really painted FCT so red in celebration, one big issue disturbing Hon Engr. Ganiyu Abiodun Johnson at the moment is the challenge of his main opponent at the poll, Emmanuel Nnodim of the PDP.

Hon Engr. Ganiyu Johnson
This battle to reclaim his mandate by Nnodim is said to be really intense and gives the former Lagos Commissioner for works sleepless nights according to one of his numerous aides.

Nnodim  with strong base at Ajao estate area of the federal constituency at the tribunal questioning how GAJ , the APC candidate won the Federal House of Reps seat for Oshodi Isolo 2 Lagos in the last General elections .

The PDP federal House contestant from Imo state benefitted from the population of Igbos in the area of Oshodi  Isolo 2 and is harping on how the now famous Ago palace way 2019 election violence marred his success at the elections.

Unconfirmed reports say Nnodim has the full backing of his party and have allegedly received a big financial advance from one of PDP biggest wigs to help him in his case against Ganiyu Johnson.

Recall that erstwhile federal representative of the area Hon Tony Nwulu was of PDP and also from Imo state and is accused of abandoning the constituency to feather his nest in his state where he contested the governorship elections.

However, on the part of Hon Engr. Johnson, he is also defending himself and very well too. He also has the very close backing of the ruling APC in Lagos in particular and Nigeria in general.


Aside from assembling erudite constitutional lawyers, ECD has also learnt that very close overtures are currently being made to reach an amicable settlement “beneficial to all parties” said an insider.
