Olota said the installation would not hold that he needs to cancel the whole process and have a rerun...he said we should come back for election rerun on the 17th of May, when we got to the palace HE: Olota said he is cancelling the list."

"Mr Samuel Adebisi raised an objection that Olota said another election would be done on 17th and we are here but the person that wrote petition is nowhere to be found., he said we should come back by 17th evening where Olota said all aspirant should signed undertaken which the 4 aspirants contesting for Baaleship signed in the presence of Oba Wadudu Ajani Dehinde, Oloruba of Otta . At Oloruba palace we all agreed and signed undertaken on Monday 24th of May 2021 that another election would hold on Wednesday 26th of May 2021.... To the glory of Almighty Allah the voters from the two stocks voted for me.... The family sent the outcome of election to Olota through Oloruba also asking for the installation date."

"Thereafter, One Femi Ahmed disagreed saying oracle should be used to select new Baale then I reminded him that on the 30th of June 2021 at Olota palace the meeting held Oba Akeem Odunaro said the traditional law the not recognized oracle so u should not take us back instead forwardness."

"Ismail Olusesi, the Personal assistant to Olota called on 24th of July that Olota wanted to see, I respected the call during the appearance I was informed the Baaleship matter of Iyesi is somehow difficult after paying necessary requirements to be installed.

At the town hall meeting my matter was raised and discussed Olota said he will fine me the sum of 2 million naira for taking the matter to court which attracted Hon Waliu Taiwo ex comissioner in Ogun and other elders attention, They all pleaded on my behalf.

After agreeing to the plea. Olota summoned me on Monday August 22.2022 through chief Lasisi Akinode okotiebo (head of the family Ijemo ruling ) in presence of Mr Rosulu Akinsanya. Where instructed me to withdraw the case from the court then he would do the needful. Which I did through my lawyer after long deliberation on the action. On Thursday 3rd November 2022.

Sen Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi Urges Resident Doctors, Health Workers To Support Tinubu For A Better Tomorrow




Sen Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi has urged the resident doctors, health workers in Nigeria to support Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a better welfare package and conducive working environment in 2023.



Akanbi on Friday in Abuja while speaking with newsmen said that a robust health sector would reduce the high rate of medical tourism among Nigerians.


Senator Akanbi who was once given the opportunity to be the Chairman of Ibadan College of Medicine Alumni Association, ICOMAA annual meeting in 2017, an association of past students of the University College Ibadan/University of Ibadan registered for any undergraduate or postgraduate course in the Faculty of Medicine/College of Medicine, where he talked on Brain Drain in health sector, He said there are justifiable expectations by citizens that democracy should engender better access to public goods such as education, health, roads and security. The notion of state legitimacy therefore rests on the capacity of the state and its agents to provide public goods in sufficient quantity and quality. Whenever state fails to meet citizens’ expectation in fulfilling this overriding obligation, it chips away at its legitimacy and authority such that citizen’s loyalty shifts away from the state to non-state sources of public goods, be it individual or group. It is therefore not surprising that most states that fail to meet citizens’ expectation and demand for public goods often struggle to maintain effective authority, stability and peace.



The phenomenon of brain drain in Nigeria’s health system resulting in the paradox of so-called medical tourism, the impact of brain drain and apparent lack of effective strategy to arrest and reverse the trend is patently palpable.

Brain drain literally refers to the emigration in large number of highly trained professionals from a particular country. Although there is dearth of accurate data on the extent of brain drain in Nigeria’s health sector, it is incontrovertible that the phenomenon of brain drain in Nigeria’s health sector is a monumental threat to the overriding goal of universal health coverage.

There are several factors responsible for the high rate of brain drain in Nigeria’s health sector. They includes poor salary and emoluments, low work satisfaction due to poor working conditions, inadequate opportunities for career progression, poor quality of practice due to lack of equipment, poor treatment of the sector by the government among others. that the challenges of the sector have been identified and that efforts would be put in place to tackle them.


He said that the challenge that had so far been identified include, lack of conducive environment in terms of infrastructure that would make the health sector work optimally.

“The decision of some resident doctors and health workers to migrate to other countries is worrisome. Although other professionals in the sector are also migrating, that of the resident doctors, health workers are more challenging.



“We need to fix the condition of service and welfare package so that it will be attractive and conducive for the practitioners to operate in 2023.



“Nigerians all over the world in their different careers are the best brains, but the problem is a lack of appropriate environment to perform. I am assuring you that the administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will, however be committed to addressing it”, Sen Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi said.

Reps Candidate, Amuzu Donates Water Facility To Elite Community In Abeokuta




Nigerians have been advised to save themselves from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in the next general elections as living condition in the country continued to get worse.

Popular Egba Chief and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP House of Representatives hopeful of representing Abeokuta South Federal Constituency in National Assembly, Chief Toyin Amuzu gave the advice while donating another borehole water facility to the Elite road community in Idi Aba area of Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Chief Amuzu who lamented the prevailing economic doldrums, insecurity and other challenges facing the nation said, "it is quite clear that the ruling party has no solution to the myriad of problems confronting the Nation as it has overwhelmed them".

He added that, "the high cost of living especially as it concerns staple foods is quite worrisome and getting unbearable as people now find it hard to make ends meet.

"It was quite unfortunate that despite their dismal performance they have not seen any reason to ameliorate or cushion the effects of their failures, by supporting the suffering masses, even as prices of various goods continue to soar."

He advised the people to note their friends and enemies, saying "we in the PDP are committed to a better society where the overall wellbeing of our people and the development of our communities are top priorities."

According to him, the PDP is not bothered by antics of the ruling APC to cling to power despite poor performance.

"We are not deterred by their shenanigans to cling to power by disrupting our political party with fifth columnists, this water project is just another selfless support to help our people reduce their sufferings in their search for portable water".

"No doubt, the PDP has great experience in governance and we have learnt our lessons. But today, they have destroyed our economy and a whole lot. Realities on ground have proved that governance is not a child's play and the PDP really tried in it's tenure, despite all their concocted lies, vile propaganda and deceits," Chief Amuzu said.

The House of Representatives hopeful enjoined Nigerians to openly reject APC in the 2023 elections if they want a vibrant change that would move them from hardship.

The House of Assembly hopeful vying to represent Abeokuta South State Constituency 2, Hon. Idowu Owonifuja assured that the PDP would continue to put the interest of the people above every other thing.

He assured of more people oriented projects, policies and development from the PDP.

The borehole water project was later commissioned for use and handed over to the Elite Road community Development Association, CDA, by the PDP gubernatorial hopeful Chief Ladi Adebutu who was represented by Alhaji Isiaka Amodemaja in company of Alhaji Semiu Sodipo and Hon Ismaila Odejinmi among other dignitaries.

Eager to boost the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the next year's general elections, the Osun State chapter of the South-West Agenda(SWAGA '23) has reinvigorated the body by officially appointing a seven-man Working Committee that will paddle its canoe into fruition.

Distributing the appointment letters to the Osun SWAGA Working Committee members at the state secretariat of the group at Ogooluwa area of Osogbo yesterday, its state chairman, Hon Ayo Omidiran, stated that the members were carefully selected based on their track records of exemplary performance and unalloyed loyalty to the progressive ideals in the state.


She explained that the main task of SWAGA which is the topmost group that has been advancing the presidential course of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu popularly known as 'Jagaban Borgu' is to enhance his victory at the polls in the state.

Mrs Omidiran who was a former House of Representatives member who represented Isokan, Irewole, Aiyedaade Federal Constituency enjoined the Osun SWAGA Working Committee members to brace up and hit the ground running for the task ahead of them as time wasn't on their side.

The Osun State SWAGA chairman disclosed that everything legally possible should be deployed to the Asiwaju Tinubu's election project in order for the APC presidential candidate to come out victorious with a wide margin in the general elections.


At the inaugural committee meeting of Osun SWAGA '23, the state chairman disclosed that the commissioning of the state headquarters of the group would hold on Thursday November 3rd, 2022, by the state Governor Gboyega Oyetola.

She explained that she was not in doubt that the members of the Osun SWAGA '23 Working Committee would perform excellently as they have been displaying the enviable level of their commitment towards progressive activities in the state.

In her words: "I congratulate you all on your individual appointment and I am convinced that you are all round pegs in round holes.

"Let's work assiduously and conscientiously towards the electoral victory of the presidential candidate of our party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is a tested and suitable hand to lead this nation into prosperity in all fronts.

What makes Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu an exemplar — Senator Adesoji Rilwan Akanbi



Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not just emerge in the political scene like a relevant ghost with no traceable features that can be linked to his person.

Uniqueness, is not about whom you are. That is perception. But more of what you do.

Tinubu, is a goldfish in a gold bowl. He is an epitome of a malleable man, more like a metal like gold that is always willing to be little. It may come as the news of the year that much as he is willing to dip his hands unto his pocket to personally bankroll his campaigns, good spirited people to whom he is beholden will sprightly rise up to pick the call. Here, he is a lone candle that has light up numerous others. And he is not resting on his oars.

He typifies a real man that smiles when he is beset with troubles, where others laments, he looks out for solution. Another reason why Lagos state is best among others. He gathers strength by distress and brave by reflection.

One essential quality that astounds many people is his forgiving spirit. He will rather be hard on himself and soft on others. When you do anything to unsettle him and think forgiveness is far away, he merely lòok away and move on and his loyalists soar in number in line with Josiah Royce’s concept of what makes a man sticks to another like a glue in his popular book the “philosophy of loyalty”.

When someone recently donated what some people will call a peanut to oil the wheels of his campaigns, I was able to fish out the person and his response was mind blowing. “I may not have much sir, but I just felt like lifting up the man who revels in lifting up others”. I was humbled!

Asiwaju’s joy is in ensuring that you put your brain in full throttle. He loves to be surrounded by people, like Jose Miguel says, “who know better”.

He is on top of the game also because he reads always to be more. He ensures there is inexhaustible supply of books on diverse subjects on his shelves.

A charismatic leader doesn’t rest until they model others for better output. They lead from the back and allow others to take the lead. This servant leadership style makes the Jagaban a leader, second to none.

One other unique aspect of Tinubu is his natural ability to wear a thick skin at rumour mongers rather than trying to proof himself right. Facts are sacred, he believes and the truth shall always prevail.

Moreover, he is a calculating and focused philantrophist who helps the less advantaged and donates heavily to any worthy cause. His recent one billion naira donation to Lagos state University to set up a center for leadership development will remain a watershed.


Integrity is his watchword which he keenly guide as Mariner watches the poles.

It bears repeating that one should not easily forget his self awareness which makes him exudes confidence that whatever he touches will turn to gold.

Strategic and critical thinking makes him always a light year ahead of others. He is highly cerebral and he clinically watches his steps.

Humility is one rare asset you can’t snatch from him. Inspite of the arrogance allegation whirling around, Asiwaju is as humble as a worm.

He is a team player anytime. He shares ideas with his subordinates and bows to superior arguments. These communication advantage further endear him to many.

With these covetous qualities and others, it is glaring, Tinubu is a leader to watch.The best man the country can’t wait to have as President.

2023: Tinubu’s men woo political parties without presidential candidates, others





Groups campaigning for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, have started consultations and negotiations with other political parties without presidential candidates, The PUNCH has learnt.

It was gathered on Monday that the support groups, which are based in the South-West but have presence in other geopolitical zones, are considering alliances with the parties with the plan to get them to endorse Tinubu for presidency.

The Deputy National Chairman of the South-West Agenda for Asiwaju 2023, Senator Adesoji Akanbi, disclosed this in an interview with our correspondent.

Akanbi, who convened the Coalition Movement for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a support group based in Oyo State, said, “What we are trying to do with the coalition is that a lot of people are angry with their parties, maybe due to fraudulent primaries, and they moved to other parties. We are trying to target such individuals too, not parties alone.”

When asked about those aggrieved with the APC, he said, “They are even our main target. They left the APC maybe because their governors caused it. We are trying to pacify them to contest for any position in any other party but they should work with us; they should support Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“We are not asking them to support all the APC candidates because they are now on another platform. Instead of wasting the votes and their efforts on presidential candidates (of their new parties) that they have no prior relationship with, why can’t they work with us?

Akanbi noted that though not all the 18 political parties registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission have fielded a presidential candidate.

“Even those who have fielded candidates, the state chapters of some of them do not reckon with the candidates because they (parties) do not have enough resources to take care of the chapters. So, they can work with us, knowing that Asiwaju will appreciate them if he wins the election,” he said.

Reps Deputy Minority Whip, Attacker Donates Ultra Modern Shopping Mall For Constituents


ABEOKUTA – The Deputy Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, Hon. Adesegun Abdul-Majid Adekoya (Attacker) representing Ijebu-North/East Local/Ogun Waterside Federal constituency has laid the foundation of a shopping mall for the people of Ijebu-Imusin to boost the economy status of the area.




Adesegun, during the laying of the foundation of the shopping mall tagged “IMUSIN AJINA SHOPPING MALL” hinted that the project was conceived as part of his campaign promises to the good people of Ijebu-Imusin, in Ijebu East Local Government Area.

Boasting that Ijebu-Imusin is a fast-growing and sprawling business community in his Federal Constituency, Attacker said a shopping mall was projected to open new commercial vistas to boost economic growth and development.

While speaking on the syndrome of JAPA, ATTACKER, maintained that “everyone of us cannot move or drift to the cities or urban centres, hence such a project as this modern shopping centre will bring unprecedented development and improve the economy of individuals and boost the internally generated revenue of the local Council.

“So, those of us who have chosen to stay behind at home, and for settlers among us, a Mall of this weight and stature will be a life-changing intervention for everyone.

“It is one of the many landmark projects and programmes that your votes and mandates for me as your representative at the House of Representatives since 2015 through 2019 to date have been brought to our Federal Constituency.

“I cannot use this medium to begin to enumerate or list all the projects so far facilitated as time is not on our side.

“However, I am convinced that many of those projects that our towns and communities will not be strange to many of our people around the three local government areas that make up our Federal Constituency.

“Apart from the projects; many of which are either long completed, or that are ongoing, I have sponsored Bills and motions that are geared towards bringing federal government presence to our Federal Constituency.

“It is my hope, faith and belief that when this Shopping Mall which we have appropriately tagged IMUSIN AJINA SHOPPING MALL is completed, it will become a source of financial conveniences, growth and development for individuals, our town and indeed Ijebu-East Local government.”

He added that he is in government office so as to better the lives of his constituents whose mandate will continue to speak as far as he is still representing them.

“I am in office to better the lives of the lots of my people whose mandate I will continue to seek as far as my representation and parliamentary responsibilities, and delivery will form the basis for their support, and reasons for giving me their mandate time and time again.”

He, however, thanked His Royal Majesty, Kabiyesi, Oba Stephen Onafowokan, the Oloko of Ijebu-Imusin, and other traditional rulers in the area, the Local government Chairman, Hon. Wale Adedayo, the Bishop of Ijebu Anglican Diocese, the Iyaolaja of Ijebu-Imusin and other stakeholders for their support in making the day a reality.

“I wish to assure you all that this project will be completed within the scheduled time without hitches,” Adekoya added.

A former Council Chairman of Ijebu East local government, Hon Raphael Olaosebikan while speaking at the ground-breaking event lauded the direct impact of Adekoya’s tenure on the mass of the people.

According to him, the LG has never had it so good with quality representation from previous occupiers of the seat over the years.

“Adekoya has given back to our community in a very commendable way after the completion of 20-lock up shops at one of our markets in the LG area,” the ex-council boss added.

In his own remarks, Hon. Zadiuos Ahmed, a PDP chieftain in Ijebu East thanked Hon. Adekoya for his continued contributions to the development of the LG.

“We are happy to witness the remarkable achievement of Hon Adekoya in virtually all the major towns and villages in this area.

“His feat touched on rural electrification, construction and renovation of maternity centres, construction of several blocks of classroom, provision of solar lights, road rehabilitation, construction of rural bridges, market stalls and many others.

“The birth of the ultramodern shopping mall is another project that we all appreciate,” Zadious concluded.

Dignitaries at the ground breaking exercise include the traditional of Ilodo, HRH Oba Isiaka Ajede, Obelu of Esure, HRH Oba AbdulSamad Olalekan Kasali, Elesugbon of Esugbon, HRH Oba Muhideen Olu Hassan, HRH Oba MAO Adenaike and Magunsen of Itamarun, Oba Fakoya.

Others were Engr. Bayo Dayo, former state chairman of PDP in Ogun state, Hon. Jigan Taiwo, Mrs Omolayo Afolorunsho, Mr. Adesumbo Taiwo, and Alhaji Babatunde Animashaun.

Birthday Tribute To Engineer Nuhu Gidado By Rotimi Makinde




Celebrating the life of a man, Engineer Nuhu Gidado who has put smile on my face and the faces of millions of people directly or indirectly, is not negotiable, considering how he has made positive impact in all spheres of life in his quest to be kind and add value to humanity. No wonder he was nicknamed ‘Zuciyar Talakawa’, meaning the heartbeat of the masses.

Seeing most of his admirers, friends, family, political and business associates rolled out the drums to celebrate Engineer Nuhu Gidado, outstandingly proves that he has distinguished himself as a quintessential gentleman, philanthropist, humanist, administrator par excellence, respected politician, businessman, husband and a responsible father. Looking at the way he has managed his life and community service, he has shown that he is a leader worth celebrating by all standards.

Since he ventured into politics, Engineer Nuhu Gidado has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is determined and focused to bring out the best in whatever task given to him. He has over the years, through perseverance and forthrightness, distinguished himself in business and political circles.

He has also excelled in private and public life without soiling his hands. Today, he is among Nigerian politicians who stand stall in the polity, without any corruption charges hanging on his neck. Engineer Nuhu, can be described as an accomplished Nigerian, who has contributed to the development of the country in different capacities, especially when he held sway as Deputy Governor of Bauchi State from 2015 to 2018, having resigned just a year before his tenure came to an end. He was Commissioner for Education while he was Deputy Governor and successfully led the education reforms that saw to a huge percentile increment in the number of students that passed their WAEC or NECO exams; a statistic where Bauchi’s ranking or position wasn’t too encouraging.

Before he actively delved into politics, he was the Chairman of Brixman, an indigenous construction firm with offices in Abuja, Bauchi and Yobe states. He was also founding Chairman of Buildings, another construction company where he operated a partnership with Engr. Habu Mamman, former Managing Director of Yankari Games Reserve in Bauchi. Similarly, he was the Project Manager at NDIC, where he oversaw the construction of the current NDIC headquarters in the heart of Abuja’s Central Business District, just on the expressway from the Airport. Before a stint at NDIC, Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, Nuhu Gidado rose to become Area Engineer in Bauchi state ministry of works and housing, where he supervised so many construction projects for various governments in Bauchi, during the military regime days of the 80s and 90s. History is indeed replete with his many indelible accomplishments in life.

Working with him very closely as our Board Chairman, in the Governing Council of the Federal Polytechnic at Damaturu, Yobe state, I know him to be very savvy, we call him Team Leader because he operates as one and very cerebral .He is a man who has esteemed himself as a leader with class, compassion, fitness, finesse, integrity and competence, a type that is rare in our body politic. I strongly agree with millions of others who have said he has a date with destiny and will no doubt play a pivotal role for All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State in year 2023 and beyond.

You remain the embodiment of Nigerian entrepreneurial spirit. Your focus, endurance and commitment to a prosperous Nigeria and indeed Africa have marked you out for greater glory and success. Congratulations to you sir.

The complete list is expected to be officially released by the executives of the People's Democratic Party, PDP in the coming week for public use.

To say all is well in Ife politics is to be economical with the reality of today’s politics.


In starting, I take this opportunity to pay my tribute to such brave sons and daughters who paid worked hard and sacrificed to secure the freedom and peace that we enjoy in Ile-Ife today. I salute their bravery and the sacrifices made by those frontliners in Ife politics.

The list is long, but permit me to mention the likes of late Sir Adesoji Aderemi, Chief Fani Kayode, my uncle the late Michael Omisade, Chief Abiola Ijiwoye, Chief Gunju Adeasakin and members of the generation of Sen. Christopher Iyiola Omisore, Sen Bamgbetan, Prof. Wale Ladipo and our set - Sen. Babajide Omoworare, Adeoogun,Fashogbon, Makinde and now our dear Hon. Bimbo Ajilesoro.

I also express my deep gratitude to all the freedom fighters who suffered hardships, imprisonment and even death for a similar cause for the people of Ile-Ife. To avoid unnecessary damage to my good intention, I would simply mention Hon. Olagbaju (Misty). May their souls rest in peace.

Today, Ile-Ife is reckoned among the front-ranking ancient cities in the world in various indicators including history, respected traditional stool, land mass, mineral and natural deposits, access to education, ease of doing business and tourism, to name a few. It is blessed with good monarchs one after the other...Oba Ademiluyi, Adesoji Aderemi, Okunade Sijuade and lately the flamboyant Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi who, in all ramifications, is rewriting the history of the cradle of Yoruba race with all that God gave him.The palace of Oduduwa is probably the best in Africa

Ile-Ife has witnessed marked improvements in its economy in the last five years . In fact, in a little over five years, many studies have indeed confirmed that close to a million people have lifted themselves out of poverty in line with Ooni Ogunwusi’s vision .

Having said that, it has become pertinent to point out that Ife indigenes cannot afford any form of complacency but to key into mainstream politics if we want to consolidate on all these feats and maximize our God-given gifts . There is need to widen the development capacity and bring in more opportunities to indigenes for socio-economic development of our birth place.
This, I believe, will be better achieved by aligning ourselves with mainstream politics in Nigeria. it is all doable. To begin to do this effectively is to begin to see ourselves first as brothers and sisters seeking the progress of our heritage, people working for unity and progress of Ife. The current reigning cultures of pull-him-down and envy are anti-progress. They won’t take Ile-Ife to any good height.

To identify these genuine ife sons and daughters is very easy, How many of us can point to one thing or the other we have done for the kingdom, To make references is to have a claim to have done one positive things or the other, We can tell someone's story by his or her antecedent in his community.

If we fail to change our approach to politics and we continue to ignore the need to identified those who truly love the kingdom dearly, we would continue to shoot ourselves in the leg politically.

For instance, Hon Barr Adeogun and Hon. Fashogbon went into the House of Representatives on the platform of opposition party, hence they were only able to make little impact. The situation was the same with me. I was blindly shut down as opposition member when indeed I was getting radically closer to being made a principal officer. Now our young and vibrant Hon. Bimbo Ajilesoro is today working within his limited power as opposition member of the House.

To think he can perform wonders is to be myopic in political knowledge. I feel sorry for the young man. He can not personally make a dime for himself. Now, the question is: What exactly is wrong with us as Ife people? How exactly do we think we can occuppy good position at both the state , Senate, House of Reps or state assembly if we continue to push backward those who have crossed the bridge which makes us start all over again each time? Sen Iyiola Omisore, who is our highly respected leader as at today, was only able to occuppy that exalted position ever attained by an Ife as Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, only because he was returned to the upper chamber on the platform of the ruling party. That was the best in the history of Ile-Ife that prompted tremendous transformation in OAUTH and in the metropolitan city of Oduduwa. Quote me anywhere. ...

At this juncture, I think we have to begin to consolidate the gains of the past, and at the same time, we have to take effective measures to speed up political realignment and the breeding of capable youths, people with serious determination for a better Ife. The delivery of key projects to Ile-Ife is our right as an integral part of Osun State .We are not just a city but a formidable community that no serious government would want to toy with. Our voting power is good enough for us to negotiate for modern market, modern museum and good roads to reopen our network with a community like Modakeke. We are rich in population, manpower and, above all, we are probably contributing the largest economic input to the survival of Osun State. What is killing us is lack of affection, respect for one another and above all, failure to enable weaker sections of our society to benefit equally. If we are able to take a new political path, it will be easier to achieve
inclusive growth and the entire people and stakeholders in our dear Ile-Ife will be better for it.

Hon. Rotimi Makinde represented Ife Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives from 2011 to 2015.

Makinde Calls On Ooni Of Ife, Sultan Of Sokoto to intervene in the ASUU strike

.......Warns Students to be careful, so that hoodlums will not hijack their struggles

Former house of representatives member, Hon Rotimi Makinde has urged the two prominent monarchs in Nigeria and other eminent personalities accross the nation most especially His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, The Ooni of Ife and Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammed Sa'as Abubakar III, to as a matter of urgent intervene in the raging dispute between the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU.

He revealed this on a live program OJU ABE on Thursday at Oodua Fm in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

Makinde, made the statement as a result of protest action by the students erupting all over the country, which includes blockage of federal roads and access to airports.

Also, he cautioned that these actions by the students certainly would have negative impact on economic activities hence the urgent intervention of both Ooni and Sultan of Sokoto to douse the tension and esch parties to give room for immediate solution to the incessant strike of the lecturers.

Makinde in his words mentioned that this ASUU strike is despicable for our nation and not good for the leaders of tomorrow as their education has been on hold for over 7 months due to the ongoing strike.

He however cautioned the students to lay back, in other to avoid possible hijacking of their struggles by hoodlums, who will eventually ruin their good intention .
