Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s election was upheld by the Ondo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which is located in Akure, despite numerous petitions challenging his victory in the November 16, 2024, polls.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Agboola Ajayi, won the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) petition in a judgment delivered on Wednesday that lasted for more than eight hours.
In his petition, the PDP candidate alleged widespread irregularities and demanded that the election results be canceled.
Similar petitions filed by other political parties, including those filed by the Social Democratic Party (SDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM), and African Alliance (AA), were rejected by the tribunal.

He defeated his most vocal opponents, including PDP candidate Ajayi, with a total of 366 and 781 votes.

An iconic Hollywood star looked totally unrecognisable with slicked back hair and heavy face makeup in new pictures shared online. The actor, who has won an Academy Award and two Golden Globe Awards, was recently seen with longer, greying hair that was messily slicked back.
Their face looked different with makeup and fine lines, and they rocked a white vest with a leather jacket and black trousers. The star, who recently did voice acting work for The Boy and the Heron, was seen looking serious while walking around a movie set and, at one point, talking to a crew member.

The Hollywood actor in question was wearing three Super Bowl rings and is none other than Christian Bale. He has been filming the upcoming David O’Russell film, Madden, in Atlanta.
Madden also stars Nicolas Cage, who was spotted in a fat suit and long hair, as Raiders head coach-turned-iconic broadcaster John Madden.
Comedian John Mulaney stars as Trip Hawkins, and British actress Sienna Miller as Al’s wife Carol Davis. Christina star as the late Al Davis, who is the Oakland Raiders team owner and manager.

Christian has previously discussed his roles and opened up about playing Patrick Bateman in the iconic American Psycho. In a 2022 interview with GQ, he said he was fired from the film during pre-production despite being handpicked for the role.
“I had the book by my side, and I would read through it every single time because [author] Brett [Easton Ellis] had just had so many wonderful descriptions,” Bale said, describing how he approached the character.
“I didn’t approach it like she said the other actors had, where they were talking about, ‘What’s his childhood?’ or ‘What’s the reason he’s become this?’ I was like, ah, none of that really matters. He’s just like this alien.”
He added: “As we were doing the scene, I started laughing, and she started cracking up. We were like, ‘Oh yeah, right – this will work between us.’”
However, not everyone was sold. The financiers didn’t like the idea of Christian playing the lead and wanted a bigger star so he was booted from the movie but he wasn’t ready to leave.
He continued preparing for the role and it (obviously) worked out. Christian said he “went a little bit psycho” himself and refused to step aside from the role.
“Even though other people were cast, other directors were on board, I just kept on prepping.” Eventually, the producers relented, and Bale reclaimed the part he never truly let go of.

In new online photos, an iconic Hollywood star had shaved back hair and heavy makeup that made her look completely unrecognizable. The actor, who has won two Golden Globes and two Academy Awards, recently had longer, grey hair that had been messily shaved back.
They donned a white vest, leather jacket, and black pants, and their faces had different makeup and fine lines. The actor, who recently voiced The Boy and the Heron, was seen looking serious as he explored a movie set and occasionally interacted with a crew member.

Christian has previously opened up about playing Patrick Bateman in the recognizable American Psycho and discussed his roles. He claimed in a 2022 interview with GQ that despite being handpicked for the role, he was fired from the movie during the pre-production.
Bale praised the author’s approach to the character, saying, “I had the book by my side, and I would read through it every single time. [Author] Brett]Easton Ellis] had just had so many wonderful descriptions.
“I didn’t approach it as she claimed the other actors did when they were addressing the question, “What’s his childhood?” or “Why has he turned into this?” None of that really matters, I thought. He resembles this alien exactly.
He continued, “She started cracking up as we were doing the scene.” We were like, “Oh no, right, this will work for us.”
Not everyone was persuaded, though. Christian was kicked out of the movie but he wasn’t ready to leave because the financiers wanted a bigger star and didn’t like the idea of him playing the lead.
He continued to work on the role, which evidently turned out well. Christian claimed that he had “went a little psycho” and that he had no desire to leave the position.
“I just kept on prepping even though other people were cast and other directors were on board.” Bale eventually let go of the part he never fully let go of, and the producers eventually gave in.

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, stated in a telephone conversation that Russia would have to respond to the recent drone attacks by Ukraine.
Trump claimed on Wednesday that the two men had spoken about the Ukrainian-led attack on Russia’s docked airplanes and other similar attacks that have occurred on both sides.
In a social media post, Trump wrote that Putin “did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.”
Kimberly Halkett, a journalist for Al Jazeera, claimed Trump’s 85-minute phone call with Putin was “a good conversation but not one that would lead to immediate peace.”
When Donald Trump took office, she said, “You have to remember that this is not over yet, but this is far from resolved,” she said from the White House.
Moscow earlier on Wednesday asserted that Moscow’s military options were “on the table” for its handling of Ukrainian attacks inside Russia, accusing the West of being a part of them.
Following the attacks, which Ukrainian officials praised as showing Kyiv can still fight back after more than three years of war, Russia also urged the US and Britain to restrain the country.
Russian officials have claimed they were unaware of the weekend’s attacks on Russian long-range bombers with nuclear capability.
Trump and Putin discussed Iran in his social media post, according to Trump. Trump, according to Trump, suggested that he speak at a meeting to discuss a new nuclear deal with Tehran.
Trump and I both agreed that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, according to Trump, who reportedly said the same thing to President Putin. He claimed Iran made “slow-walking” choices in the talks.
Moscow was ready to help advance negotiations on a nuclear deal, Putin told Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian, according to the Kremlin on Tuesday.
For the Fifa Club World Cup, Manchester City’s starting lineup is expected to be without Jack Grealish.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the 29-year-old’s future at Etihad Stadium is uncertain because there is a growing sense he would benefit from a move before the following year.
Grealish may be interested in a fresh start at a prestigious club that will offer him regular football from clubs all over Europe.
Will his reported £300,000-per-week wages, whether on loan or permanent, prove inconvenient for any potential deal.
Tijjani Reijnders, a Netherlands midfielder, has been signed for 55 million euros ($46,3) by City, and they are also interested in signing Lyon left-back Rayan Cherki and Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri.
The former Aston Villa star was a key member of Pep Guardiola’s Treble-winning side in 2022-23 when he left for City in 2021 for a then-British record fee of £100 million.
Grealish has won three Premier League titles overall while playing for the club, as well as an FA Cup, Champions League, and the Club World Cup.
However, he hasn’t played as often as he should in the past two seasons, and he only started seven league games between 2024 and 2025.
Guardiola stated in May, “Of course, Jack has to play.” He must play football every three days because he is an unbelievable player.
It didn’t occur both this year and last year. He must either work with us or work elsewhere.
“Jack, his agent, and the club have a question,” he said. If he stays, it will be fine because he fought from the beginning to make a difference.
