Voter Registration and collection of permanent Voters card (PVC) are important and strategic to electoral process and has capability of strengthening democratic governance. Voter registration helps to facilitate the credibility of the electoral process and democratic governance and that is why the government found it imperative to create ample opportunity by declaring Monday a work free day which is the last day for the eligible voters to register.

Thus, government passionately urge the people to go out and register in the remaining days, while those who have lost or defaced their cards can register afresh but should guard against registering twice as each person is only allowed to register once.

The Continuous Voter Registration had started on Wednesday, April 11 and will end on Monday, April 16.
Since the continuous voters registration (CRV) is periodic, the government of the state of Osun, therefore, considers it as imperative to dedicate a day for fresh potential voters to register for their voter card and for those that had registered to collect their PVC to enable them exercise their franchise on election day.

All residents of the state who are 18 years and above and are enjoined to go to the nearest registration centre in their areas to register their names for voter card.

Picture showing him superintend over the burning of PDP flags and banner at the former PDP Secretariat, Ogo Oluwa went viral on all media.

"In the light of the above stated facts therefore, the forum of Ex-PDP political office holders in Osun state thereby make the following demands:


That Otunba Iyiola Omisore must within the next 72hours condemn the barbaric action of the hoodlums who desecrated the PDP flag in his office yesterday and tender an unreserved apology to the leadership of the party for the unacceptable conduct.


That Otunba Omisore must unequivocally state his stance on the continued membership of the party or otherwise rather in view of the conflicting statements emanating from his aides and confidants in the last 24hours.

That in the event of a failure of Otunba Omisore to do the above, we call the leadership of the party at all levels to take appropriate disciplinary action against him in order to show that no single individuals inordinate ambition is above the larger interest of the party.


In conclusion, we wish to tender the unreserved apology of our party members to the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus for the disgraceful conduct of a misguided few who desecrated the symbols of our great party yesterday.

"Let me therefore use this opportunity to extend a hand of friendship to our fellow contestants who also offered themselves for the service of our party in various positions.



"I want to assure you all that the fact that you lost in this election does not in anyway mean that you are less competent to run the affairs of the party.

"For members of other political parties who have been indicating interest in joining the PDP but were constrained by the crisis of the last two years, I want to tell you that the siege is now over and our doors are wide open for you to come and join us," he stated

A First class graduate of the Osun State University, Ipetu-Ijesa campus, Mrs Balogun Awanat Olanike has revealed how she coped with academics and love life while on campus.


In a chat with Amiloaded, Olanike disclosed she met her husband on thesame campus even when she never had the inclination of combining relationship with her study.

She said, "I took my primary assignment importantly and the secondary assignment too.


"I had it in mind while coming to UNIOSUN to graduate with First Class and Allahmudillah, Allah made it possible

Really Amina! I thought they are new buses though I haven't seen any major media reporting it.

What a man can do, a woman can do better" says a popular adage. This saying best describes Hon. Fateema Muhammed, the Director-General of Atikunation Independent Campaign Group (ICG), who, though a woman, is championing a tough course that most men may not even dare to undertake.



This brilliant socialite and politician is the master strategist and the brain behind the ambition and plans of a former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar to become the President of the country come 2019.



Popularly known as "Unstoppable Aduke," Muhammed, a prominent personality in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), she has registered her name in the good books of Ifako-Ijaiye in Lagos state.


This uncommon indutrialist was a key mobiliser and planner of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation (BATO) which won the National Leader of APC governorship seat in Lagos.


She also coordinated Jimi Agbaje Campaign in 2007. During the Strategies and mobilization for former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, Hon. Muhammed played key roles in the keenly contested election.


Unstoppable Aduke hails from Borno State and she has traversed the length and breath of Nigeria in canvassing votes for his political candidates.


This amazing political strategy think-tank is not found wanting in touching peoples life with her Fateema Aduke Foundation. Call Hon. Muhammed a grassroots political mobiliser, you would not be wrong, call her a national and international electoral campaign planner, then you would be hitting the nail on the head.

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Osun State, Dr. Ajibola Basiru, has explained the rationale behind the introduction of parliamentary system of government in the local government by Governor Rauf Aregbesola's administration.


He said the decision was to reposition the local council for effective service delivery to the people at the grassroots.


Delivering a paper titled "Parliamentary System - An Overview of the Guidelines for Administration of the Local Government, in Osogbo, the state capital, Dr. Basiru said that Aregbesola’s administration has demonstrated commitment to the growth and development of the local government system in the state.


He said "the introduction of the parliamentary system of government is aimed at galvanizing the local government system in the state and reposition the councils for effective service delivery.


"It is therefore imperative to train the newly elected councillors and management staff of the councils on the nature and workings of the parliamentary system.


The Attorney General took time to explain the functions and responsibilities of the different arms and functionaries of government at the local level.


"In order to minimize the effects of the incipient strains and stresses associated with the introduction of a novel system, the State Government of Osun has developed a standard guideline for the administration of local government.


"Transfer of political power to local areas by involving the inhabitants in the provision of the basic needs in their respective community.


Also the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly Rt, Hon Najim Salami stated that Before the last election was conducted, some individuals picked bones with the government on the issue of parliamentary; even we have an individual who approached a court on the matter.


Though, circumstances surrounding the litigation suggested that it was designed to truncate the already scheduled Local Government election, to us at the state parliament the litigation and some decisions that accompanied it, is a welcome development, because it expands the jurisprudence.


What matters is, by and large, reason prevailed and democracy won."


He stressed further that the highest ranking PDP office holder in the country in person of the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has lent his voice in favour of the parliamentary system when he says, “ that the parliamentary system of government will engender more robust debates which always brings out the best in a democracy.”
