JUST IN: #Palmer Voted EA SPORTS Player Of The Month—-Chelsea summer signing Cole Palmer has been announced as the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for April 2024, winning the award for the first time.

The Chelsea midfielder led the league for goals, scoring seven times despite making only four appearances.

He also got an assist to directly contribute to eight goals in April, a total no player could beat.

Palmer’s April goals took him up to second in the race for this season’s Castrol Golden Boot award. His hat-trick in a 4-3 win over Manchester United included equalising and winning goals in second-half stoppage time.

He then netted four times in a 6-0 victory over Everton as he became the first Chelsea player to score in seven straight Premier League home appearances, and the earliest ever scorer of a Chelsea hat-trick in a match, completing a treble within 29 minutes of kick-off.

A previous winner of the PL2 Player of the Month award back in October 2020 while at Manchester City, Palmer also becomes the first Chelsea player to receive the accolade since Eden Hazard in September 2018.

The 22-year-old topped a six-man shortlist after the public’s votes on the EA SPORTS website were combined with those of a panel of football experts.

Mudashiru Obasa Sues New Speaker Meranda

BREAKING: Mudashiru Obasa Sues New Speaker Meranda And Lagos Assembly To Court—-Impeached speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has filed a lawsuit at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, seeking an immediate order for his reinstatement as Speaker.

Court documents obtained by Lagos Reporters reveal that Obasa is challenging his removal on January 13, 2025, arguing that it was wrongful and unconstitutional. The lawsuit, filed on February 14, 2025, lists the current Speaker, Lasbat Mojisola Meranda, and the Lagos State House of Assembly as defendants.

The legal move comes after failed attempts to resolve the leadership dispute through political negotiations. Sources confirm that multiple high-level meetings, involving political figures from Lagos and Abuja, were held to mediate the crisis but ended in deadlock.

Some lawmakers reportedly fear that Obasa’s possible reinstatement could trigger political reprisals against those who backed his ouster.

With the case now in court, the battle for Lagos Assembly leadership shifts to the judiciary, as stakeholders await the ruling and its implications for the state’s legislative stability.
