A key part of Raila Odinga’s legal case about Kenya's election hinges on the role of the chair of the Independent Election and Boundaries Commission , Wafula Chebukati. Mr Odinga says he should not have announced William Ruto as the winner without the agreement of a majority of the commission, and thus “usurped” their role.But there are different interpretations of Mr Chebukati's powers. Some experts believe under the Kenyan constitution, he alone is empowered to announce the outcome of the presidential poll, acting as the returning officer for that vote.

They also point to the fact that he is under a legal obligation to do so within seven days of the date of the election. However, other legal opinion argues that under the 2011 IEBC act, Mr Chebukati can only announce what the commission has “tallied and verified.”

Lets stop romanticizing Nigeria, it hasn't worked since amalgamation of 1914, nor over 60yrs, post independence of 1960. North n South ve different lifestyle n ideology, that only referendum can fix. Locust n Anthill can't live as one. DivideNigeriaNow2SaveLives Chimamanda

Did she say this from America?

And she is 100% correct!

Dearest Ngoziii! Sorry but it's not too much of a loss that huh? There is one African Man they can look up to......

Tell your people to get back 🏡🏡

Disrespect is in! It is the only thing that is standing between you and those wishing you ill. Youth of Nigeria, Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!

Narrow streets of truth barely connects our realities, trust me there’re army of people stepping on them on the ground while they’re looking up at their neocolonialists. If it were for lack of role model, you’d have inspired their hope in lieu of screaming corruption like Macron.

Well Nigerian 'elite' would rather spend their life times being bigots and tribalist than be heroes.

Nigerians living outside the country will be talking as if they live on the streets of Nigeria

She is a respected author, but I'm a dedicated teacher who sees sheroes, heroes in the eyes of my students. Maybe she needs to go back and dedicate more time in some of these communities. BeARoleModel TheseAreHeroes TheseAreSheroes BuildingAfricanLeaders

She ain't capping...she could step up tho.

That's sad if they can't find people right from their families to look up to

Really I have 30 children in Warri Nigeria that I teach each Monday morning. I teach them virtually & they are my heroes!! I'm learning from them about finding joy and purpose in life even with so much challenges in life!!!
