TESA Demands Removal Of Compromised EOs In Edo State Ahead Of Governorship Election

TESA Petitions INEC Over Alleged Compromise of Electoral Officers in Edo State
 
With the gubernatorial election in Edo State just weeks away, the Transparency for Electoral Systems Advocacy (TESA) has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the upcoming election. In a formal petition addressed to Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), TESA has highlighted alarming reports of compromised behavior by Electoral Officers (EOs) in Edo State, which it claims threatens the fairness and credibility of the electoral process.
 
The petition, dated 24th August 2024, specifically accuses certain EOs of colluding with leaders of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State. According to TESA, these compromised officers have allegedly been meeting with PDP leaders, resulting in the denial of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to members of the public, particularly those supporting opposition parties like the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Labour Party.
 
One particularly troubling incident mentioned in the petition involved Mrs. Uduak Obot, the EO of Esan Central Local Government Area. TESA alleges that on Friday, 23rd August 2024, Mrs. Obot was seen at the residence of a former PDP Senator in Irrua. This meeting, according to TESA, is part of a broader conspiracy in which PVCs meant for the public were instead handed over to PDP leaders in a bid to manipulate the outcome of the election.
 
TESA's concerns are further amplified by a recent viral video on social media, in which a woman named Edith Uwadia from Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area in Edo South Senatorial District claimed that she was denied her PVC because INEC officials had handed over bulk PVCs to PDP leaders after allegedly receiving bribes. This has led to widespread public outcry, with many citizens expressing frustration and fear that their voices will be silenced in the upcoming election.
 
In its petition, TESA is calling for several urgent actions to address these issues:
 
1. Immediate removal of the EOs in Esan Central, Ikpoba-Okha, and other implicated local government areas in Edo State to ensure a fair and transparent electoral process.
 
2. Thorough investigation by security agencies into the activities of the compromised EOs to hold them accountable and restore public confidence in the electoral system.
 
3. Withdrawal of the current INEC Commissioner in Edo State from overseeing the election, due to his alleged close ties with PDP leaders and the high level of corruption under his watch.
 
4. Direct oversight by the INEC National Chairman in managing the activities leading up to the 21st September 2024 governorship election in Edo State.
 
5. Heightened vigilance by the police, DSS, and other security agencies to monitor and investigate any attempts to compromise the electoral process, including the conduct of ad-hoc staff, election observers, and security officials.
 
TESA has emphasized that the integrity of the electoral process in Edo State is critical to the nation’s democracy. The organization has pledged to cooperate with other agencies and organizations to ensure that the governorship election is conducted in a free, fair, and credible manner.
 
As the election date approaches, all eyes are on INEC and the relevant authorities to take decisive action in addressing these concerns and safeguarding the democratic process in Edo State.

Nvidia Stock Price Levels To Watch As Earnings Report Looms
~2.4 mins read

Nvidia (NVDA) shares are in focus this week as the artificial intelligence (AI) favorite prepares to release its highly anticipated earnings report for its fiscal 2025 second quarter on Wednesday. Investors will be looking out for sustained growth in the chipmaker’s data center segment and updates about its next-generation Blackwell chips following reported delays.

The AI darling’s shares, which have surged around 43% from their August low, have been bolstered in recent weeks by bullish Wall Street coverage and growing earnings forecasts. The company, which has blown past expectations for both revenue and earnings in recent quarters, is under pressure to deliver another blockbuster quarterly report.

Below, we’ll take a closer look at Nvidia’s chart and use technical analysis to identify important price levels to watch out for amid the AI behemoth's looming quarterly results.

Since staging an intraday reversal in early August to mark the end of a 26% correction from their record closing high, Nvidia shares have recovered the lion’s share of those losses. The price recently consolidated within a rectangle formation, indicating a continuation of the chipmaker’s move higher. 

However, it’s worth noting that trading volumes remain below longer-term averages during the stock’s resurgence, pointing to possible apprehension by institutional investors ahead of the company’s quarterly results.

The stock gained 4.6% on Friday to close at $129.37.

Amid the potential for earnings-driven volatility in Nvidia shares this week, investors should eye these key support and resistance levels.

A breakdown below the rectangle pattern could see the shares initially test the $116 level, an area on the chart in close vicinity to the 50-day moving average where buyers could look for entry points near a horizontal trendline connecting a series of similar trading levels between May and July.

A deeper post-earnings retracement could spark a fall to $97, where the shares would likely attract significant support from two prominent price peaks that formed on the chart during March. This region also sits just a little above the stock’s correction low recorded during the early August broad-based market sell-off.

Upon an upside breakout of the rectangle formation, the shares may encounter resistance around $136, where they could find investors willing to lock in profits near the June 18 record close, a level that also aligns with the stock’s July peak.

To forecast a potential resistance area above Nvidia's all-time high (ATH), we can use the measuring principle. To do this, we calculate the distance of the trending move that preceded the rectangle and add that amount to the formation's breakout point. In this case, we add $39 to $131, which projects a target of $170, a location where the shares may run into selling pressure.
