In a massive push for youth employment and engagement, Governor Ademola Adeleke has inaugurated and inducted 10, 000 youth into the Imole Youth Corps.

At a grand ceremony held at the Freedom Park, Osogbo, the State Governor said the occasion is “a major highlight of his administration’s push to address youth joblessness alongside other indirect steps to engage the youth across the sectors”

Addressing the members of the Imole youth corps clad in their uniforms, the Governor described the programme as “a transitional arrangement designed to provide opportunities for our youth” from all walks of life.

“Today’s gathering is a continuation of our efforts to provide job opportunities for our teaming youth. Ten thousand youths spread across the 332 political wards are engaged to provide services in the area of health, security, environment and education”, the Governor noted, assuring that “the newly enrolled Imole Youth Corps members are to be trained to deliver support services across the grassroots economy and other sectors”

He charged the corps members to demonstrate strong commitment in whatever sector they are assigned, tasking them “to justify the confidence reposed in you by working diligently in your posted areas”.

The Governor spoke further on the efforts of his government to tackle the unemployment crisis: “Our administration is focused on tackling the unemployment crisis. We note the widespread joblessness among the youth.

“Our first decision is to create an enabling environment for job creation by both the government and the private sector. Part of actions taken so far by the administration is to provide financial support to small businesses through cooperative movement, statewide infrastructure upgrade and the recent launching of the agropreneur programme.

“Through small business financing, this administration has provided lifeline and operational loans to thousands of grassroots entrepreneurs. Over Four Billion Naira has so far been committed to this revolving loan scheme.

“Our government is also enforcing local content in the implementation of the state’s infrastructure projects. We engage local contractors who in turn employ local technicians, thereby imparting new skills. Additionally, local suppliers are patronized. We ensure Osun money revolves within Osun state.

“I am happy to announce that through our local content policy, financial access to businesses, and ongoing youth agropreneur programme, over 250,000 of our population were provided job opportunities. The figures are set to increase as we launch the agropreneur project in each of the 30 local government and Area Council, the Governor explained.

Wetin this man even dey do for Bayelsa people other than answering governor and smiling shipishly. Mtcheew....

Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, has expressed displeasure at the state of facilities in some public schools in the state.

Speaking in Kaiama at the end of an unscheduled visit to Saint Jude’s Girls Secondary School, Amarata-Yenagoa, and the Ijaw National Academy, Kaiama in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area, Governor Diri said the government’s budgetary provisions and expenditure in the education sector do not match the reality on ground.

The governor directed the Commissioner for Education, Dr. Gentle Emelah, to immediately take steps to address dilapidated structures in schools across the state.

At the Ijaw National Academy, the governor noted the absence of sporting facilities as well as the uncompleted dining hall and directed the commissioner to ensure that the contractor returned to site.

“Let me tell you something about my elder brother, el-Rufai, and whether we should be worried.

“There is a dynamic around el-Rufai. El-Rufai needed a solid, revolutionary person to thrive. On his own, el-Rufai may not win the senate.

“He won governorship because of the Buhari factor and got re-elected because of the Buhari factor. If you leave him now to go and run for senate in Kaduna, he would not win,” he said.

“He does not have the capacity to make the president unsettled. No opposition party, even if combined, can make the president unsettled.

The Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has said Nasir El-Rufai, former Kaduna State Governor, doesn't have the political influence to unsettle President Bola Tinubu.

Bwala and El-Rufai have been having a go at each other over the latter's criticisms of the incumbent administration and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, one of the contenders for the position of National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has dismissed the directive from the Board of Trustees (BoT) for the National Working Committee (NWC) to swear in his rival, Sunday Ude-Okoye.

Anyanwu criticized the directive, citing the ongoing court case and the expiration of the tenures of about 80% of the BoT members who attended the meeting at Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja. He also pointed out that he was not invited to the meeting, nor was the National Chairman, who is also a member of the BoT.

Anyanwu stated, “I’m a member of the BoT, I was not invited to the meeting, and neither was the National Chairman. This shows a lot. In any case, the tenure of about 80% of those at the meeting expired in October last year. They are also aware that this matter is in court. Even Chairman Wabara, who was taken to court, sent a representative. Their advice is just that — advice, and it cannot be taken seriously.”

Immigrants should have to wait at least 15 years before they become eligible for British citizenship, the Conservatives have said.

Arguing that citizenship should only go to people who have shown “a real commitment” to Britain, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch urged the Government to make it harder for immigrants to secure permanent residency or a UK passport.

Mrs Badenoch said: “The Conservative Party is under new leadership. We’re going to tell the hard truths about immigration.

“The pace of immigration has been too quick and the numbers coming too high for meaningful integration. We need to slow down the track for citizenship. A UK passport should be a privilege not an automatic right.”

The suspended traditional ruler of Orile Ifo, Oba Abdulsemiu Ogunjobi, has been remanded at the Ilaro Correctional Centre in Ogun State after failing to meet his bail conditions.

The spokesperson for the correctional facility, Yinka Odukoya, confirmed this to PUNCH Online on Wednesday, stating that the monarch remained in custody as he had yet to perfect his bail.

Odukoya said, “Yes, he is in our custody, which means he has been unable to meet the bail conditions granted by the court yesterday. However, as soon as he does, he will be released.”

The Ogun State Police Command had on Tuesday arraigned the suspended monarch over a viral video in which he was seen assaulting a 73-year-old man, Abraham Areola.

According to the charge sheet (MH2b8c/2025), the suspended monarch was accused of conspiracy, assault, and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace.

The charge read: “That Abdul-Semiu ‘m’ and others at large, on 21st January 2025, at about 1100 hrs at Sojuolu Street, Ifo Magisterial District, did conspire to commit a misdemeanour, to wit: assault and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace, thereby committing an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 517 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2006.

“That you, Abdul-Semiu ‘m’, and others now at large, on the same date, time, and place in the aforementioned Magisterial District, did unlawfully assault one Areola Abraham by slapping him on the face and ear, thereby committing an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 351 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2006.

“That you, Abdul-Semiu ‘m’, and others at large, on the same date, time, and place in the aforementioned Magisterial District, did conduct yourselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace by forcing one Areola Abraham ‘m’ to kneel down and assaulting him in public, thereby committing an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 249 (d) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2006.”

Good judgement

The Ogun State Government suspended the Olorile of Orile Ifo, Oba Abdulsemiu Ogunjobi, for six months for assaulting a 73 year old man, Chief Abraham Areola.

This was contained in a statement signed by the State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon Ganiyu Hazmat, and made available to newsmen in Abeokuta.

Hamzat said the suspension became necessary following the uncivil conduct of the monarch on his subject in the public glare, not befitting the status of an Oba.

The Peoples Democratic Party and its governorship candidate for the 2024 Edo State governorship election, Asuerime Ighodalo, closed their case before the State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja on Monday.

The PDP and Ighodalo are challenging the Independent National Electoral Commission’s declaration of Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of the September 21, 2024, governorship election in Edo State.

The petitioners are seeking to have the election result nullified, arguing that INEC declared the wrong winner.

One of the grounds upon which the petitioners are challenging the declaration of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Monday Okpebholo, as governor is alleged over voting, which the BVAS machine is expected to cure.

In response, Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser on Policy Communications to President Bola Tinubu cautioned the former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai after labelling him a “latter-day convert.”

“I no longer recognise the APC. No party organ has met in two years—no caucus, no NEC, nothing. You don’t even know if it is a one-man show; it’s a zero-man show,” El-Rufai said

Acting National Chairman, Damagum accused party leaders of exacerbating the crisis by bypassing his authority and directly engaging with NWC members.

“Part of the crisis within the NWC today is being fuelled by our leaders who should be uniting us,” he said at the BoT meeting.

“Some leaders call NWC members to certain meetings without my knowledge. If any of you were in my position, you would find this difficult. I want to use this opportunity to caution us.”

Damagum urged party members to reflect on their actions, warning that continued infighting could damage the PDP’s chances in future elections.

“This party is dear to all of us—it is the only thing we have. Nigerians are looking to us for hope, so we must set aside our differences and unite to build a credible alternative,” he added.

Clash as Ude-Okoye is ejected from BoT meeting

Tensions escalated when Ude-Okoye entered the BoT meeting while Wabara was delivering his opening speech. After greeting those on the high table—except for Anyanwu—he took his seat as Damagum delivered his welcome remarks.

As journalists were ushered out for a closed-door session, an argument broke out over Ude-Okoye’s presence.

“He is not supposed to be here; he is not a member of the BoT,” a voice shouted.

“I will not leave! I am the Secretary!” Ude-Okoye retorted.
