Osun Result - Joint EU, UK, US Statement → http:///2xKTVzo

In contrast to our overall findings on the vote of September 22, we were concerned to witness widespread incidents of interference and intimidation of voters, journalists, and civil society observers by some political party supporters and security agencies...
It is clear that the neutrality of the security services and responsible conduct by party agents, both inside and outside polling units, will be essential to ensure free, fair, credible and peaceful elections in 2019. We remain committed to supporting the Nigerian people in seeing free, fair, credible, and peaceful elections.

Nonsense. IPoB news...

Adelabu is a household name in Ibadan, if u know u know. They are like the saraki family in Kwara. His grand father was the former minister of resources during the 50's. The name Penkelemesi was coined after he referred his opposition party as a Peculiar Mess. His listeners didnt understood what he meant as most of them were illiterates but heard the word as Penkelemesi. Hence, the called him mr Penkelemesi.

very good cv especially in the economic aspect

Man, he has a great and mouthwatering CV. I hope to do more than this.

Shokoyokoto

And by the way penkelemesi means...


Peculiar mess

Penkelemesi is a nickname of his grandfather one of the foremost politicians of ibadan, it was actually "peculiar mess" which his illiterate followers mispronounced as Penkelemesi

Unik3030:
so Akala is also from Ibadan?

No,he is from Ogbomoso

Unik3030:
so Akala is also from Ibadan?

Did Akala intially come out on his own ticket?

Did he not just benefit from Ladoja's impeachment?

Accountants in Nigeria have proven to be a wack when it comes to governance e.g. Tinubu, Ambode, Amosun

Intimidating profile.

gideon1971:

It's coined from "Peculiar Mess". That's his late grandfather's nickname.
