Leaders and elders from Ifedore Local Government have advised the growing number of aspirants from the local government area contesting for the Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency seat to reconsider their ambitions and instead channel their focus toward the senatorial race 2027.

Speaking on the political arrangement within the constituency, an elder emphasized the need for fairness, equity, and respect for existing zoning principles.

According to him, Idanre should be allowed to complete a total of 16 years of representation in the House of Representatives to match Ifedore’s already extensive years in office.

He explained that Ifedore had already produced representatives for four terms before the emergence of Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye, which would have amounted to five terms (20 years) if not for the political developments that led to Adefisoye’s victory under the Social Democratic Party (SDP), at a time when an automatic ticket had reportedly been given to Hon. Bamidele Baderinwa (White) under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The elder clarified that before the emergence of Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye, Idanre LG had only produced one term in the House of Representatives, while Ifedore had already completed four terms, further justifying the call for balance in representation.

He further recalled that during the 2019 election campaigns, there was no agitation based on “Idanre lokan” or “Ifedore lokan,” as all aspirants freely contested and campaigned across the constituency without zoning sentiments dominating the discourse.

Highlighting the imbalance at the senatorial level, he pointed out that Ifedore has never produced a senator, urging its political actors to seize that opportunity rather than contesting the federal constituency seat.

“They should allow Idanre to complete their 16 years. After that, leaders from both sides can come together to decide the next direction by 2031. For now, fairness demands that we support Idanre. Anything contrary may be seen as an attempt to shortchange them or ignore political realities,” he stated.

The Small Alhaji Media Team has observed with utter amusement the flood of reactions and coordinated noise-making that followed a Facebook post by Mr. Owowa.


Let it be clearly stated: Mr. Owowa is not, and has never been, a media aide to Small Alhaji. So the desperation to link that post to our principal only exposes the panic within certain quarters.


What is even more revealing is the shameless mobilization of BTO agents who rushed out in droves to defend Rasaq Obe. That level of coordinated defense raises serious questions and, if anything, further validates the concerns raised in the original post. When truth hits hard, panic responses like these are expected.


It is both laughable and disappointing that instead of addressing the issues, they resorted to attacking a man who did not even make a statement. This is the height of political desperation.


We have also seen the sudden calls for debate. Let it be known: we are more than ready. Small Alhaji has consistently called for open, issue-based engagement, and we will not shy away now.


However, let us be very clear — this is not about empty noise or emotional outbursts. Rasaq Obe has held several positions representing this state. The people deserve answers. What exactly has been his impact? What policies did he implement? What tangible value did he add at every stage of his public service?


These are the questions that matter — not deflection, not propaganda, and certainly not coordinated online attacks.


If there are allegations on the table, the honorable thing to do is simple: respond with facts and verifiable evidence. Enough of the rhetoric.


As for Small Alhaji, his pedigree, background, and track record remain unmatched and widely known. He does not need to manufacture relevance or hide behind agents.


Politics is not for the faint-hearted, but neither is it a playground for deception. The people are watching, and they deserve truth, accountability, and substance.


We urge Rasaq Obe to rise above the noise, face the issues directly, and present his record to the public. Anything short of that only confirms what many already suspect.

Engr. Ogundana Seun Wale, the (PDP) aspirant for Ekiti South Federal Constituency 2, has taken a significant step towards securing the party's ticket for the 2027 general elections.

PRESS RELEASE: ENGR ADETIMEHIN DISRUPTRD THE PEACEFUL WARD CONGRESS IN IDANRE.

Earlier today, the Ward Congress in Idanre was progressing peacefully until the Ondo State Caretaker Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, allegedly ordered the former NURTW Idanre Branch Chairman, popularly known as “COBU,” alongside his associates and some unidentified outsiders, to disrupt the ongoing exercise. The situation reportedly escalated into violence, and tragically, two lives were lost in the process.

Idanre has long been known as a peaceful and violence-free community. We strongly condemn this barbaric act that has brought grief and sorrow to our land and resulted in the unfortunate loss of innocent lives.

We call on the relevant security agencies to swiftly swing into action by conducting a thorough and unbiased investigation into these allegations. Anyone found to have sponsored, instigated, or directly participated in this heinous act must be made to face the full wrath of the law.

Idanre deserves peace, justice, and freedom.

News Update


THE Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), on Saturday formally declared their support for the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu in 2027, pledging to mobilise voters for him.




The declaration was made at the grand reception of several defecting members of the National Assembly an their supporters into its fold in Osogbo, Osun state capital.




The event, attended by party leaders, stakeholders and supporters, also featured renewed calls for unity within the party ahead of the 2026 governorship election and the 2027 general elections.




Addressing the crowd, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy and immediate past governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, said the achievements of President Bola Tinubu had positioned him for another term in office.





Oyetola stated that the APC was committed to building “a state where things work. Cooperation among party members would be crucial to electoral success.”




The Minister charged members to return to their various wards and strengthen grassroots mobilisation.





“We must go back to our base. Cooperation and unity are required if we are to win the governorship election in 2026,” he said.




The party’s governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, described the reception as the beginning of the countdown to victory in the forthcoming election.




Oyebamiji said the decision of the defecting lawmakers to join the APC demonstrated their commitment to the people of Osun State.




According to him, their action is a sacrifice made in the interest of the state.




“Our action today is a demonstration of our commitment to the people of Osun. Nothing is greater than to sacrifice for the people of the state,” he said.




He added that the development would bring stability at a time he claimed that the state was drifting towards administrative decline.




“The task before us today transcends individual ambition but safeguarding the future of our children,” Oyebamiji stated.




Urging stakeholders to maintain unity within the party, he stressed that cohesion was not negotiable and noted that the inclusion of the defectors placed them alongside others who had the interest of the state at heart.




“The APC in Osun State is one family. Every voice will count and every contribution will be valid,” he assured.




The Osun APC Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, described the defection of two serving senators and three members of the House of Representatives as unprecedented in Nigeria’s political history.




He said the development should serve as a signal to the current state administration that a political shift was imminent ahead of the August 8, 2026 governorship election.




“We have no doubt that your defection into the APC will bring about meaningful contributions to our party in the August 8, 2026 governorship and the 2027 presidential elections,” Lawal said.





He appealed to the defectors to remain committed to the party’s objectives and support future electoral efforts aimed at what he described as restoring the lost glory of the state.

Lawal assured them that they would not face discrimination within the party and called on members to work collectively for success in the coming elections.





He added that there could be no better time than now to endorse President Tinubu for a second term.

The Centre for Justice and community advocacy, Nigeria (CJCAN) in conjunction with Initiative for local government development(ILGD) have called on the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, declare a state of emergency in Osun state over the local government leadership tussle.


Addressing a press conference on Friday at NUJ, the spokesperson for the Initiative for Local Government Development (ILGD), Comrade Adebayo Juliet Kanyinsola, stated that declaring a state of emergency in Osun State will not undermine democracy, saying it will save democracy, and restore constitutional governance, and protect lives.




"We are compelled to speak because the Osun State Government, under the leadership of Governor Ademola Adeleke, has continued in a brazen, deliberate, and dangerous disregard for the judgments of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and the Court of Appeal, particularly those recognizing the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led chairmen and councillors as the lawful administrators of local governments in the state."



The Civil Rights added that Osun state is becoming a landscape where fear rules and the lives of the people are treated with what it termed as “grave experience" as on the continued disregard for court judgement in the state.




Further highlights the concerned of the organization, Secretary for the Initiative for Local Government Development (ILGD), Adeniyi Faith Ayomide, condemned the killings of the former local government chairman, Hon. Remi Abass.




"Disobedience to Court Judgments and Collapse of Constitutional Order

"The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is clear. The Supreme Court is the final court of the land, and its judgments, alongside those of the Court of Appeal, are binding on all persons and authorities."




"Yet, in Osun State, we have witnessed a troubling pattern where the government has:
Misinterpreted and distorted clear court judgments,
Refused to give effect to those judgments, and
Continued to interfere unlawfully in the administration of local governments."



"By these actions, the Osun State Government has effectively placed itself above the Constitution. This is not a political disagreement; it is a constitutional breakdown. Section 1(3) of the Constitution is unambiguous: any action inconsistent with the Constitution is null and void. Governance in Osun State is no longer being carried out in accordance with the Constitution."


"Misleading the Public and Endangering Security

The Osun State Amotekun Corps wishes to categorically refute the misleading allegations circulating on social media alleging that operatives of the Corps recklessly pursued and knocked down a motorcyclist and passenger into a ditch in Osogbo.




To set the record straight, the video currently being circulated online is not a recent incident. The footage is from an event that occurred on December 19 in the Lameco area of Osogbo.




Contrary to claims of reckless driving or deliberate pursuit by Amotekun operatives, The motorcyclist was wrongfully attempting to overtake Amotekun vehicle from the right while the Amotekun vehicle was trying to maintain the right lane. That was when the had collision the operational vehicle.




Immediately after the incident, the sympathizer applea to the operatives of the Osun Amotekun Corps and they acted responsibly by promptly conveying the injured motorcyclist and passenger to the hospital, where they received medical attention. The Corps also paid for their medical bills, and the matter was amicably resolved at the time.




The renewed circulation of this old and already-settled incident is therefore unwarranted, misleading, and mischievous. It appears to be a deliberate attempt to misinform the public, undermine the integrity of the Osun Amotekun Corps, and cast a state security agency in bad light.

THE Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Osun State, says the handling of local government funds by the APC violated the Local Government Finance Law.




Hon. Sarafadeen Awotunde, ALGON Chairman, in a statement stated that the law is unambiguous, saying only Directors of Finance and Directors of Administration are legally recognised as signatories to local government accounts. Contrary to this clear provision, the APC ALGON is using politicians as signatories to operate local government accounts, which is a direct violation of the law.




According to him, the law also clearly specified what local government funds are meant for. Despite this, the APC is not paying the salaries of local government workers. Instead, funds are being used to pay people who were sacked by the court, and whose self-assigned tenure has lapsed.




ALGON stresses that those who have no tenure or who were removed by the court cannot appoint any officials and cannot be paying salaries. What is playing out is illegality built on illegality. Nothing legal can be built on an illegal foundation.




Hence, the APC chairmen without any mandate cannot draw salaries, cannot appoint officials, and cannot pay salaries to so-called appointees. Any action taken by such persons has no legal basis.




ALGON further states that the APC erred by violating the local government finance laws. UBA erred by opening accounts with illegal signatories, and the bank violated the law by paying local government funds to individuals without any legal mandate.

Mallam Olawale Rasheed is a public policy professional with decades of experience in journalism, business, politics and public service. The Spokesperson and Special Adviser to Governor Ademola Adeleke granted a birthday interview to some journalists, addressing many personal and public issues. Except

When are you releasing your book about your life experience ?

Mallam Olawale Rasheed: The book is ready but it is not the usual autobiography. We have been too busy, hence the delay in getting it to the public. Also,I don't want the usual traditional method of book launching. My plan is to give out the book free to students, business and political leaders. I find it difficult to ask people to pay before they read about my life experience.

But book writing is treated as a business by many people. Why is your case different?

Mallam: That is true. I know book publishing is a serious business. My disagreement is the idea of people paying to read about my life. What should be commercialised are books about ideas and contributions to scholarship, books that advances research and contributions in various fields deserve commercialisation. You are buying the book to pay for knowledge. It is different when the book is about where I was born, what experiences have I gained in the world. This is just my personal viewpoint.

So what is the book focusing on?

Mallam : My book is a blend of professional and life review. I crafted the book in a way that builds my biography around a new field that is yet to gain full currency here in Nigeria, that is policy entrepreneurship. I attempted to make it a seminar book in that field. It is all about passion for positive changes in the society through internal influencing of policy direction. The field of policy entrepreneurship is relatively new. I hope my book provides insight into that sector using my life experience as a guide.

Policy entrepreneurship? Can you shed more light on this?

Mallam: It is not about entrepreneurship; it is not about consultants submitting one proposal or the other across government agencies; this is more about policy professionals with an eye on effecting societal changes through direct influencing of policy choices by the elected heads of government. They are either advisors or special aides to leaders who have direct political power. Their preoccupation is to see positive deliveries in health, education, energy among others. Sincerely, it is like activists for social change inside corridors of power.

Is it a course of study yet?

Mallam: In Europe and North America, Yes. In Africa, it is still a fragment of public administration. What my book did was to flesh out basic principles of the new field. Such topics as who is a policy entrepreneur? How does a policy entrepreneur operate? What makes successful policy entrepreneurs among others?

What qualifies you to write a book on such a new field?

Mallam: Very valid question. I don't lay claim to being an expert in the field. I stated this clearly in the book. But the totality of my life experience fits into that professional circle. I reviewed my sojourn so far and I discovered I am indeed a policy entrepreneur. I have the rare privilege of combining so many fields and operating so successfully in all of them. What drove me mostly was the yearning to fight poverty of which I was a childhood victim. I grew up to realise that governmental powers are the best instrument to get the poor out of poverty. Hence, the aspiration to be close to the corridor of powers was to get power holders to change the story of the poor for the better. Top power holders hardly have policy entrepreneurs as advisors or players within their inner circles; they are mostly surrounded by hawks focussed on milking the system for self-enrichment. My background, my experience and my current position place me at a great advantage to write on the subject.

You mention policy entrepreneurs as social change activists in corridors of powers. Did you fall under that category?

Mallam: It may interest you to note that in my university days, I was a closet socialist radicalised and indoctrinated by association in those days with Eastern socialist Europe. When socialism failed, the energy was diverted to social crusading through journalism. In fact, agenda setting for societal policy changes was my main motive for choosing journalism as a career in those days. Our writings attempted to set an agenda for those in government. I agree I am not a Comrade in the real sense of the word. But I have an inner vision of deploying government through politics to fight poverty and under-development. Again, that passion accounted for my interest in politics right from the days of UPN to PSP to SDP to UNCP to PDP. I believe I am a social crusader who believes state power can be directed to positively touch the lives of the people.

Were your days as a journalist assisted in the career transformation you listed?

Mallam: I will say yes. From my days at the 1994 National Constitutional Conference to the Third Eye Newspapers and finally to the Tribune newspapers, the media shaped my life. My book dwells on this media journey. I reported from the headquarters at Ibadan, then later as a political correspondent in Lagos and finally in Abuja from 1999 as National Assembly and politics correspondent. It was a rare privilege to work with the Tribune titles. I salute all my bosses and associates those still within and those outside the oldest private newspapers in the country. I greet my boss, the MD of Tribune titles, Edward Dicson; the daily editor, Hadji Debo Abdulahi; Saturday Editor, Lasisi Olagunju; and Sunday editor, Sina Oladeinde; my brother Festus Adedayo among others. It was indeed an honour to serve at various times as Abuja Bureau Chief, Group Politics Editor and at a time Northern Region Editor. I was however an unusual journalist because I was in and out of the newsroom on political appointments.

You have served at the federal level. Were you able to influence policy direction as a policy entrepreneur?

Mallam: I will boldly say Yes. In all places where I have served, we tried our best to influence our principal to implement critical policy changes. As the only special assistant to the Federal Minister of Youth Development between 2007 to 2011, Nigeria witnessed her golden age in youth development innovations and policies. Senator Akinlabi Olasunkanmi, my able minister, delivered exceptionally. I was part of that success story. My book chronicles several of such policy innovations. As a special assistant to the Minister of Power, Mohammed Wakil, from 2013 to 2015, we were part of bold reforms in the power sector including renewable energy. Again, my book listed successful policy changes of the said period. A period of positive impact in national economic reform from the private sector angle was my service as the Executive Director of the National Chamber Policy Center in Abuja between 2018 and 2022. The center is a NACIMMA/ACCI policy center. We did a lot of policy study and reports covering all sectors of the Nigerian economy to the Presidency and almost all the key ministries and agencies. Our work deals with entire policy circles. I am glad many of our proposals were adopted in many sectors during the period. In this aspect of my life, I must pay homage to my bosses in the business chamber movement, former Defence Minister, Prince Adetokunbo Kayode and First Deputy President of Abuja Chamber of Commerce and former NEPZA boss, Professor Adesoji Adesugba.

In a heartfelt address at the wedding ceremony of Olorungbotemi Bright, Publisher of Voice Air Media (VAM), and Princess Oluwayemisi Ademiloye, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, shared timeless wisdom on nurturing a successful marriage.



Speaking at Ilomu-Ekiti, Ekiti State on Saturday, November 22, 2025, AMBO pinpointed impatience and misunderstanding as stumbling blocks that often lead to marital breakdowns, urging couples to prioritize the values that foster lasting love.



Represented at the event by 'Prof.' Hon. Waheed Adekunle, AMBO said the success of any marriage depends on deliberate effort and shared responsibility.



He outlined six core principles of a successful marriage couples must uphold:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vuyZ3HlD3w?si=zEL1GUQIRnKbMnL2


1) Patience: Allowing love to grow, and weathering life's storms together.

2. Respect: Honoring each other's individuality, opinions, and contributions.
3. Understanding: Cultivating empathy, active listening, and compassion.
4. Partnership: Collaborating as equals, sharing joys and burdens.
5. Respecting Each Other's Opinion: Valuing differences as strengths, not weaknesses.
6. Commitment: Standing united, through life's triumphs and trials.



“Not every relationship leads to marriage, but every marriage that must survive requires patience, mutual understanding and a genuine partnership. Respect your wife’s opinion, work together as a team, and stay committed,” AMBO said.



Appreciating everyone present at the wedding, the couples said, “We sincerely appreciate everyone who joined us to celebrate this special day, and all our guests for their love, support, and presence”.

A Nigerian man, Mr. Kokoricha College Franklyn, from Delta State, has narrated the heartbreaking story of how he lost his fiancée and infant son during a violent incident in Benue State, followed by a series of threats that left him helpless and his life under high risk even after changing location to different places In Nigeria.




Franklyn, a 55-year-old commercial bus driver of Urhobo origin, had lived and worked in Abugbe, Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State for several years, operating his transport business mainly at the Obagaji International Yam Market.




In an interview, he explained that his troubles began after his relationship with an Idoma woman, Miss Blessing Omoche, met with strong resistance from her family.




“I met Blessing in 2015 during a business trip to Otukpo,” Franklyn recounted. “We became close, and by 2019 I proposed to her. Her mother supported us, but her uncle, Mr. Fidelis Omoche, completely rejected the idea because of my age and tribe.”




Despite the opposition, the couple continued their relationship. Blessing later became pregnant and moved in with him. On February 22, 2022, she gave birth to a baby boy, John Oghenekeme Kokoricha, in Abugbe.




According to Franklyn, their life together was peaceful until tragedy struck in May 2023.




“I had travelled to Akure for work when she told me her mother was ill in Otukpo,” he said. “She left the next morning with our baby, but that same day, there was a Fulani herdsmen attack along the route she was to take. I couldn’t reach her again.”




Franklyn said that despite days of searching with the help of police and local volunteers, neither Blessing nor the baby was ever found.




“I went from hospital to hospital, and even the mortuaries,” he said. “There was no trace of them. It felt like my whole world ended.”




Months later, Blessing’s mother reportedly died of shock after learning of her daughter’s disappearance.




Following her death, Franklyn claimed that her uncle, Mr. Fidelis, began accusing him of being responsible for the tragedy and vowed to deal with him.

“I received warnings not to visit him because he was involved in cult activities,” he explained. “People told me my life was in danger.”




Things worsened in January 2024 when suspected herdsmen attacked Abugbe community, destroying homes and killing several residents.




“I was lucky to be away that night,” he said. “When I returned after the army came, my house was completely burnt down. I lost everything.”

He later fled to Lagos with the help of a friend, Mr. Pius Asaba, but claimed that threats continued to reach him.




Someone dropped a note at my friend's house saying I could run but couldn't hide," he said. "That was when I knew I have to do something fast or get killed."

RE: CONDEMNATION OF KANGAROO PRESS CONFERENCE BY NON-INDIGENES OF EKITI IN ABUJA ON EKITI APC CONSENSUS PRIMARY ELECTION

Our attention has been drawn to a kangaroo press conference held in Abuja by some individuals who are not indigenes of Ekiti State, making false and misleading claims about the just concluded APC Governorship Consensus Primary Election in Ekiti

We wish to categorically state that the primary election held on Monday, October 27, 2025, was peaceful, free, fair, and credible, one of the best in the political history of Ekiti State. The exercise was conducted transparently, witnessed by INEC officials, and supervised by the APC National Chairman, where His Excellency, Abiodun Oyebanji (BAO) emerged as the authentic candidate of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

We therefore condemn in strong terms , the actions of these non-indigenes and so-called CSOs most of whom are known members of the ADC and PDP based in Abuja. They have no moral or political authority to meddle in the internal affairs of the APC in Ekiti State. We advised them to stare clear of Ekiti politics and focus on resolving issues within their own parties.

Ekiti State remains peaceful and united, and our delegates have spoken clearly through their votes. Any attempt by outsiders to distort this democratic process or undermine the will of the people will be resisted. The good people of Ekiti will not take it lightly with them or their sponsors when the time comes.


We urge the general public to disregard the baseless statements issued by these impostors and continue to support the peace, unity, and progress of our dear state under the capable leadership of Governor Abiodun Oyebanji


Comrade Sunday Asefon
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Students Engagement.

ABUJA — An anonymous source inside the Presidential Villa has revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has instructed a comprehensive review of all academic and NYSC certificates submitted by federal appointees.



According to the source, the order was given in response to growing public concern over recent revelations of dubious credentials, particularly following the resignation of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, over allegations that his degree and NYSC certificate were forged. The source said the President is determined to restore confidence in the integrity of public appointments.


What the Review Will Involve

• All ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) will be required to resubmit copies of the academic and NYSC certificates of all currently serving federal appointees, including ministers, special advisers, heads of agencies, and other political appointments.

• A verification process will be activated, possibly in collaboration with universities, the National Youth Service Corps, and other credential-issuing bodies.

• The resignations, dismissals or other disciplinary actions may follow if any submitted proof is found to be false, forged, or unverifiable.


WHAT PROMPTED THE MOVE

The source says that the President’s decision was partly influenced by:

1. The widespread media reports about Mr. Nnaji’s certificates being disowned by both the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) and the NYSC. These reports raised fundamental questions about how someone with such disputed credentials could be appointed. 

2. Pressure from civil society, opposition parties, and concerned citizens, calling for higher standards of accountability in public office. 

3. The need to prevent future certificate forgery scandals, which threaten public trust in government.


POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS

• Federal appointees whose credentials fail verification could be asked to resign or face suspension.

• It could lead to wider reforms in how appointees are vetted, including creation or strengthening of digital verification databases, closer liaison with credential-issuing bodies, and perhaps legal penalties for forging or misrepresenting documents.

• The move has the potential to expose more cases like Nnaji’s, and could be politically sensitive, especially among those worried about retrospective scrutiny.


SCEPTICISM, HURDLES, AND UNCERTAINTY

• The anonymous source admitted that implementing the review may be complicated by incomplete academic records and institutional delays.

• Questions remain over whether the review will cover past appointees (who may still be in office) or only those appointed from a certain date.

• It is not clear how far the President wants the process to go: whether simply to verify credentials, or to enforce consequences.

The Idanre Students Union has refuted reports claiming that the union appealed to the Ondo State Government, Dr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa to repair the deteriorating road linking parts of Idanre community.



In a statement issued jointly signed by all the union Excos on Wednesday, the union clarified that its call was not directed to the state government but to the Member representing Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Festus Akingbaso Fessywest.



According to the union, the federal lawmaker has access to N800 million constituency funds, and the group urged him to utilize part of the allocation to commence the rehabilitation of the affected road.




The students further alleged that the earlier statement sent to The Punch was an attempt to divert public attention away from the responsibilities of the federal representative, insisting that their appeal had been deliberately misrepresented.




They maintained that the union’s position remains consistent — that the federal lawmaker should take immediate steps toward rehabilitating the road to alleviate the hardship faced by residents and commuters in the area.

The recent directive issued by the Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa, instructing all former political office holders to return government property in their possession, including official vehicles, has reportedly sparked controversy among some affected individuals.

According to reliable sources, a former Commissioner for Energy in the state, Engr. Rasaq Obe, has allegedly vowed not to comply with the directive.

Engr. Obe, who arrived at Akure Airport aboard an Overland Airways flight (ABV–AKR, Aircraft Reg. No. 5N-CCM) on October 6, 2025, at about 11:11 a.m., was said to have immediately convened an emergency meeting of his political associates under the banner of the Rasaq Obe Political Dynasty to deliberate on the governor’s order.

At the meeting, he reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the directive, describing it as unfair considering his contributions and investments in stabilizing the present administration. He was also said to have accused Dr. Seun Osamaye and the current Commissioner for Energy of being behind what he termed his “current ordeal.”

A leaked audio recording allegedly from the meeting revealed that Engr. Obe expressed readiness to work with other political actors opposed to the governor’s leadership. In the recording, some voices were also heard making critical remarks about the governor’s relationship with his deputy, suggesting that the deputy had been relegated to the role of an “errand boy.”

Among those reportedly present at the meeting were Barrister Asani Bakare (Special Adviser to the Governor), Hon. Gbenga Adu (Special Adviser to the Governor), Hon. Kunle Adu (Special Adviser to the Governor), Barrister Collins Awoseye (Secretary, Ifedore Local Government Council), and Engr. Alex Oladimeji (former Chairman, Ifedore Local Government), among others.

As of the time of filing this report, neither Engr. Rasaq Obe nor the Ondo State Government has issued an official statement regarding the development.

Making a priority of women empowerment, Springtime Development Foundation (SDF) and Veronica Adeleke Empowerment, in partnership with Osun State Government through the Ministry of Women Affairs, Children and Social Welfare under the leadership of Governor Ademola Adeleke, have trained over 500 women across 30 local government areas of the state on domestic farming, and entrepreneur skill.

At the event, the state government rolled out N50,000 cash grants to the beneficiaries.

The empowerment programme which was held at Springtime Foundation headquarters, Ede, on Thursday, designed to teach women on how to farm conveniently in their own compounds.

Speaking, the Commissioner for Women, Children and Social Affairs, Hon. Ayobola Awolowo, commended Governor Adeleke for his commitment to empower women and fostering development in the state.

Awolowo emphasized that the initiative would enable women to sustain themselves and their businesses, contributing to economic independence.

However, Chairperson of Atakumosa West,
Hon. Mrs. Dada Bukola praised the governor’s dedication to the people of Osun, particularly women, and commended the organizers for their efforts.

She highlighted the initiative’s potential to create lasting impacts by enabling women to stand on their own.

Mrs. Aroke Oluwakemi, wife of the Chairman of Ife South Local Government, also expressed appreciation for the program, noting its role as a vital support system for women, especially those with limited resources.

“This initiative really supports and serves as a backup for the beneficiaries, especially people that have nothing to do. This will also support some businesses,” she said.

Adeyeni Aderonke Deborah, a beneficiary from Ilesa West Local Government, expressed gratitude to Governor Adeleke and the Springtime Development Foundation. She noted that the training provided through the program equips women to farm independently, reducing reliance on others for survival

“With this program, we were taught how to farm in our compound. We therefore henceforth won’t depend on anyone for survival."

The Principal Special Assistant to the Benue State Governor on Youth and Media Mobilization, Mr. Atu Terver, popularly known as Krayzeetee, has reportedly been abducted by unidentified individuals.

The development was made public late Tuesday,16 September 2025, after his wife raised the alarm in an emotional post on social media.

According to her, she received a distress call from her husband in a frightened tone, saying: “I have been abducted, call mummy.”

Attempts to reach his phone afterwards were unsuccessful.

Terver recently made headlines for sacking one of his own aides who participated in a protest against killings in Benue.

Authorities are yet to officially confirm the abduction or provide details on rescue efforts.

A non-governmental organisation, Community Advancement Initiative for Self-Reliance, CAI4SR, has urged the government and stakeholders in Osun State to embrace inclusive education and remove barriers that prevent persons with disabilities from fully participating in society.

Speaking at the event, the executive director, CAI4SR, Eni Ayeni, stressed that the sensitization became a necessity in order to uphold ethical standards in reporting and understanding the legal frameworks that protect the rights of persons with disabilities.

Ayeni added that the initiative, which was funded by Christoffel Blinden Mission (CBM) International, will further highlight the critical role of the media in shaping public perception and influencing policy, particularly on disability inclusion.

She said, “Creating awareness, sensitization programmes and having journalists coming in.

We talk about those issues of the discrimination against persons prohibition law once in a week. Imagine them talking about it on their different stations once a week.

Definitely, there will be so many people who are aware of this law. And either they are asking for the promotion of their right or the implementation of this law.

“So, journalists have a fundamental part to play in this law. And then when it comes to reporting issues that have to do with Disability rights, by the time they report these issues, they are right.

It is definitely going to bring an end to this whole stereotype and name-calling of persons with disability.

“The workshop will not only sharpen reporting skills but also empower journalists to amplify disability issues, challenge stereotypes, and contribute meaningfully to building a more inclusive society through responsible and impactful journalism.”

Press Release

Re: Misguided Political Antics by the Interior Minister in Ondo State

Our attention has been drawn to recent attempts by the Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (BTO), to cloak his personal battles for political survival in the guise of loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.

It has become clear that the Minister’s present maneuvers are not about service to Mr. President or strengthening the APC. Rather, they are about securing his own retainership in office beyond 2027. If indeed he desires continuity, the most honorable path is to face his job squarely as Minister and deliver on his mandate, not to meddle in Ondo State politics.

Here in Ondo State, the APC remains popular and firmly on ground. We have just secured victory across all local governments—proof that the party’s base is solid and needs no distractions from Abuja. The Minister must therefore understand that the politics of desperation is unnecessary, counterproductive, and unhelpful to the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Instead of sponsoring attacks and engineering unrest in the state under the banner of “support for Asiwaju,” Hon. Tunji-Ojo should focus on more pressing matters that demand accountability:

👉 Clarifying the controversies around his NYSC certificate.
👉 Providing transparency about the fraud cases hanging around his neck.
👉 Addressing doubts about his educational claims, including the questionable MSc from the University of London.

These are the real issues that will determine his future if Mr. President considers him again after 2027—not media propaganda or attempts to weaken Ondo APC for selfish ambitions.

We advise the Minister to face his official duties diligently and leave Ondo politics for now. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu knows those to call upon when the time for political decisions comes. No one should attempt to drag his name into needless battles that do not serve the collective interest.

Chief Idowu Akinnusi.
