We are fully ready to used our pvc to cast our votes for Atiku/Okowa presidential ticket. Yoruba people rejects APC Muslim-Muslim ticket in the February 25th presidential election. As Oyetola lule piii, Tinubu is next that will lule piii Lekan siii niiii. Tinubu is a clueless goner

Atiku understands the value of a good life.

He knows you cannot be truly happy if you can’t pay your bills.

He knows you can’t be fulfilled if you can’t take care of your own kids.

Atiku has more than 20 businesses, and over half of that is just welfarism/charity based businesses. What he does, is take from lucrative businesses to subsidize not too lucrative ones. At the end of the month, all the staff gets paid and everyone is happy with their families. I know as the President of Nigeria.

Atiku would be able to do this for all.

Follow who know road.

Vote for atiku abubakar

Vote for PDP.

PDP power to the people

kennethesan:
Just because his hotel facility was patronized to accommodate Atiku and his entourage....becoming Governor should have been easy for him if he delivered when he was DSP....

I remember he said "he paid some students waec fees".....

lol he has decamped to Pdp since yesterday. He formerly decamped to Pdp in the mega rally in Osogbo today. Osun central senatorial district is a done deal for Pdp. Atiku/Okowa has come to win.

SamOchuko:
May God never allow the Okowa that happened to Delta state happen to Nigeria, the prime agent of darkness, harbinger of Nigerias power failure aka Mr mikano will never smell Nigerias seat of power, God forbid bad thing.

Okowa is your next Vice President in 2023. You just have to accept the reality here. Okowa did extremely well in governance in Delta State. Check the record well on google . Atiku/Okowa has come to win. Atiku/Okowa everywhere you go.

I’ve said it times without number that Peter Obi of structureless Labour Party will lose woefully beyond redemption in the February 25th, 2023 presidential election. This is the results of last July 16th governorship election this year. Lasun Yusuff is very wise in his decisions. Atiku/Okowa has come to win. Atiku Abubakar is the next Nigeria President that will succeed Buhari in power next year. 90% of Pdp voting strength has increased tremendously in Osun State ahead of February 25th, 2023 presidential election. Bvas machines will do the magic. The clueless drug baron Tinubu is a goner. Tinubu tun ma lule piii Lekan siii niiii.

Pvc our weapon will be used to elect Atiku/Okowa to power. Pdp balance the equation well. Bvas machines will do the magic in the poll. From my unit to the server straight.

Nice development from Efcc. Tinubu tun ma lule piii Lekan siii niiii

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has revealed that it’s working with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to enforce the Electoral Act 2022 ahead of the 2023 general election.

According to the anti-graft agency, it is collaborating with the electoral body and other relevant stakeholders to preserve the integrity of the electoral process at the polls.

EFCC Chairman, Abdulrashid Bawa, made this revelation while delivering a goodwill message at the opening of a workshop on Financial Crimes Reporting organised by the commission.

He said EFCC would make sure the Electoral Act is fully enforced, noting that the commission would work towards bringing to justice those who seek to influence voters through financial inducement.

Bawa said, “On our part, we are working in close collaboration with the Independent National Electoral Commission, and other stakeholders to preserve the integrity of the electoral process.

“We will ensure that the Electoral Act is fully enforced and those who seek to influence voters through financial inducement are brought to justice.”

The EFCC boss, who was represented at the event by the Kano Zonal Commander, Farouk Dogondaji, revealed that between January to November 2022, the commission has secured 3,440 convictions on financial and cyber crimes across the country.

He pointed out that the agency despite achieving this feat is not relenting because it knows there is much work to be done to improve the conviction rate as the year nears the end.

The EFCC chair observed that, “In terms of prosecution of cases in court, I am glad to inform you that, between January and November 25, this year, EFCC recorded 3,440 convictions.

“The potentials for improvement are good as more ongoing cases are concluded in the remaining four weeks of the year.

“Remarkable as this feat is, we are not resting on our laurels. We believe there is still a lot to be done which is the reason why we are actively seeking the support of all stakeholders, including the media.”

Governor Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke, the People’s Governor is a goal.

INTERVIEW: Good Governance Is Assured Under Adeleke, PDP – Kayode Oduoye


Mr. Kayode Oduoye is a young businessman and politician from Ikirun, Ifelodun local government of the State of Osun. In this interview with SODIQ YUSUF, he x-rayed the internal and external factors that returned PDP to power in the State. Excerpt:

YOU were at the forefront of restructuring the PDP in the State of Osun six years ago, how do you feel now that the party is now in power?

I am very elated. I feel accomplished. I feel fulfilled because it was a journey that ended up well, in spite of the challenges. The restructuring, refocusing and repositioning struggle was aimed at getting the party to be acceptable to our people in Osun after the 2014 governorship election. It was a journey I spearheaded by the grace of God. It was energetic, money gulping, energy and time consuming. So, I feel very elated, very happy, very accomplished and very fulfilled, and finally the PDP is back to rule Osun.

Report had it that the restructuring agenda was aimed at dislodging Senator Iyiola Omisore who was a major player in the PDP then. How true is this?

Otunba Iyiola Omisore was one of the big wigs of the PDP then. He was the gubernatorial candidate of the party in 2014, and the aftermath of that election spiraled into 2015. We lost at the national level, we lost the presidency and the state constituencies. That was one of the reasons that led to the call for a rebirth, rebuilding the PDP; and the need to strengthen its membership. What happened then was that some of us did not believe in him (Omisore) coming back for the second run; we did not believe in his ability and capacity to win the governorship election; so, we did not want him to have the ticket of the party for the second time. It was more like a clash of interest. We wrestled for the interest, we saw that we squandered the opportunities we had; we had a lot of things that were wasted. We saw that things could be done better. It was just more like disagreement in principles with respect to approach; and why things should be done in the party going forward and we knew that if certain things were not addressed, the party would not progress. The way some of us viewed, it was going to be difficult to sell PDP to the grassroots and the people of the party after the 2014 show. In my interactions with people at the grassroots in the state, it was important for us to rebrand the PDP. So, if that was supposed to happen, there would be a clash of interests. Otunba Omisore was not willing to let go of the candidacy that he had. He wanted to run again and some of us said no, let us rebrand the party, the party must be formidable enough to attract so much and so many others in it if we go on this way. How and why he left PDP, I am sure he can handle explain that. But he exited PDP in 2017 for SDP and from SDP, he cross carpeted to APC. But the good thing is that the journey we started then has ended well, irrespective of whoever the candidate is.

How will you address the arbitrary defections of Nigeria politicians from one party to another in spite of differences in party ideology?

I think it is absurd. Our politicians lack integrity. It shows we do not politick for ideology, it shows they are in there for what they just want to benefit and gain; and that is why leadership is a major bane for us in Nigeria till date, because people lack quality leadership. Politicians just throw money around, sweet-talk people, make empty promises and at the end of the day, they cannot deliver because they do not have the capacity or the virtue to make them commit themselves to the transition of change in the lives of the people. Nigeria is suffering now not because we do not have resources, the management of the resources is the issue. You keep having people who do not have the capacity and moral sanctity to understand that they are committed to the future of their own coming generation. Whatever you do today, you are not doing it for today alone, it is going to be part of the foundation of what will affect tomorrow. Unfortunately, as Nigerians, we have not come to understand that leadership for us is not about the promises people make, it is about the pedigree, integrity, character and the antecedents of what makes the person. People must also come to understand that leadership is about service and sacrifice. If you cannot lead not just by example but lead in serving and sacrificing for people, then, you are just going to end up having the same circle of people that you have now.

To what will you attribute the July 16 victory of the PDP to?

So many factors. Osun people are tired of so many wrongdoings. Osun people are tired of bad governance. You can only measure a government by the economic performance. If life is comfortable for the average citizen, they will support the government irrespective of whoever or which party is there. APC has not done well. They did not do well. So that gave us the window to be victorious. My sincere desire is that we will meet the expectations of the people. We would do so well with unity, and the unity can bind us together to achieve a greater good for the common people.

One of the factors that led to the defeat of the outgone governor, Oyetola, is bad governance. The unity within PDP with a determination that whatever it is, APC must go irrespective of our differences. We had this mindset that whatever your views are, just go and get APC out. Whatever is left, we would come back to the table and resolve it. That is what I preached to our people. You cannot tell me your differences is that deep to allow Oyetola to come back for a second time, what would you have achieved? 100% of nothing. That is the second factor. Then the third factor is the public sympathy. They knew we were robbed in 2018 and the people stood firmly behind us in 2022. We also thank INEC for BVAS. If not BVAS, history might have repeated itself. What happened in 2018 might have reoccurred. People also know that the Adeleke family is well to do. They do not have anything to take from government. They just want to sacrifice themselves like a sacrificial lamb. There were a lot of factors that culminated in the victory of the PDP and the defeat of the APC.

There was insinuation few weeks to the governorship election in July that you ordered your supporters to support the second term bid of former governor, Adegboyega Oyetola. How true is that?

That is not true. It is an insinuation, so I am debunking it now. It is a wrong insinuation. It is nothing but a figment of some innocuous imagination. You know in life, perception is about beliefs. As I speak with you now, the God of heavens is my witness, the last time I set my eyes on the former governor was when he attended the Fidau of the late Akinrun. That was a public place where he greeted me and that was the last time I saw him. I have never had any discussions with him. I do not have his contact. Of course, as a politician, efforts were made to make me work for his interest, but that would not work. Just like we lured some of them to join us, they wanted to lure me too but I never gave into it. All my life, I have never supported or voted for APC till we speak. If I don’t believe in something, I would not support it.

After the 2018 governorship election, you appear to have maintained a low profile, what is responsible for that?

Politics is a combination and conglomeration of so many ideas, beliefs, concepts from people of different backgrounds, opinions and views to issues. I realised that over the past years till 2018, God has enabled me to build a political stature that has positioned me to be a threat in the face of some people. I stepped down my governorship ambition then because I believed that the party must be united. We must adopt an attitude and approach that will not disintegrate the unity of the party. If truly, there is a conceptual belief that Osun West should produce the next Governor, then, why should I run? Why will I want to ruffle feathers when I know that that is not what the majority wants, the clarion call was for the West, so everybody from Central should just go and support the West. So, I stepped down carefully and joyfully for the support of the West and that is why you saw that all through 2018, I was with the Adelekes, and even till now, I have been backing the candidacy that eventually emerged as the Governor of the state.

We believed in the West Agenda and by the grace of God, Senator Ademola Adeleke from Ede, Osun West senatorial district, is now the Governor of the state, with the support of every member of the party and most importantly, the people of the state. I want to assure you that Governor Adeleke will do very well. One of our dearest concerns and prayers is that we must not disappoint Osun people. We must better their lives. That is why we are in politics. So, whatever I am bringing to politics should be my contributions and thank God that Senator Adeleke is also from a family that is well to do. So, he is not there for the crumbs. He is also coming there to bring something to the table. So, my appeal to all members of the party, whether aggrieved or not, as long as you are a card-carrying member of the party, we must support this government. This government must be successful and this government must meet the yearnings and expectations of Osun people. It is very key for me, because that is what would make a meaning of the journey we started six years ago.

If Osun West Agenda was what you supported, then, why did you not support Prince Dotun Babayemi? Why the choice of Adeleke?

So many reasons. All the while up till this moment, I have only supported the Adeleke family. All my life since I have been a politician, I have only supported the Adelekes. Let me take you down the memory lane. In 2014, late Senator Isiaka Adeleke also contested in the primaries. I did not support Senator Omisore but I gave Omisore my full support after he became the candidate of the party. I am a party person. My conviction has been with the Adelekes for long. Why? We have been family friends for long. My father enjoyed a fabulous relationship with Late Senator Isiaka Adeleke (both of blessed memories now). My father committed me to the project, even before he died. I have known Senator Isiaka Adeleke way back 2003, when my father and him contested for gubernatorial ticket where Oyinlola emerged. So, there is that emotional commitment, there is that family relationship that we cannot wish away. I am like a child to them, irrespective of whatever anyone wants to believe or say. I believe that I owe that family my commitment. These are the people we have been together for long. I respect them and politics did not even affect the relationship. That is why I did not support Ogunbiyi or any other person in 2018 and 2022.

By the time we were rigged out in 2018, we came back to the table and said we had to give it a shot again. I enjoy a fabulous relationship with Senator Adeleke, Dr. Deji Adeleke and Chief (Mrs) Dupe Adeleke-Sanni. These are individuals that if you have a one-on-one with them, forget the public perception or impression, they are likable people. So, with the personal relationship I have had with them and the extension of the relationship my father and their brother had, will that not make it difficult for me to support another person? Definitely, it will.

We worked together in 2018 and we started rebuilding together again. It all started in my house at GRA in Osogbo; we started mobilising people and canvassing them for support. So, it was very difficult for me as a peace-loving person not to support the Adelekes. I did not say other aspirants are not members of the party or that we won’t relate with them. Unfortunately, people have brought bitterness into politics. We could have managed our differences without resulting into crisis. It depends on the handlers. Those who wanted to play the front role this time around chose to play it differently from the way I would rather love for it to be played.

Why did you decide not to re-contest for the ticket of your party for the House of Representatives?

I did contest. A lot of people did not know I contested. It was a last-minute decision. It was a bit clumsy but because of the pressure. Left to me, my direction and focus was on how we would win the state being the last election before the general election; put in forward again with more efforts and win at the national level. I did contest like I said but if I go deep into it, we will not finish the story.

What is your utmost goal in politics?

What brought me into politics in the first instance is the ability that God has given to me. I have a lot to offer to the people in terms of service. Service and leadership is what I am in politics for. For me, if it is a call for service, I am ready if there is an opportunity to do so.

Are you eyeing any political appointment in the state?

It is the prerogative of the Governor to appoint who he likes. Yes, I am close to him. But, in politics, they tell you a day is as long as one year. You never can tell. From what I believe and I know, we are all together and I’m sure that if the government finds me worthy of any role, I will offer my service. What is important to me is that Senator Ademola Adeleke will succeed. He has no option than to succeed and He will. The people should expect delivery of good governance.

NaijaCowFarm:
We hear that Osun State House of Assembly members is making noise about Adeleke's executive orders. I advise Adeleke to request from Gov Obaseki, the template to handle the HOA and beat them into line.

With 2 PDP members, Adeleke is home and dry. If the 24 APC members want trouble, the governor should immediately lock up the House and provide space in the Government House for the 2 PDP and any other APC member ready to work. Those ones will suspend the speaker and others who are recalcitrant and stop their pay. After 6 months of absence, their seats would be declared vacant.

No time to waste for some useless losers.

THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF NIGERIA HAS BECOME A SUSPECT AWAITING TRIAL.
The Chief Justice of Nigeria , Hon Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, who has just demonstrated his familiarity with the workings of G5 Governors has by seeking to recruit members into that group turned himself into a suspect, who only can not be trusted with fair dispensation of justice in Nigeria, but a Chief Judicial Officer who has become tainted and unfit to superintend over the administration of Justice in Nigeria.
Graver still, the descent of the Chief Justice of the Federation into the political arena is a gross and indefensible violation of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers, section 5 of which states as follows:
Right to freedom of expression
5. A Judge, like any other citizen, is entitled to freedom of expression, belief, association and assembly; but in exercising such rights, a Judge shall always conduct himself in such manner as to preserve the dignity of the judicial office and the impartiality and independence of the judiciary. Accordingly, a Judge shall act with such restraint as is necessary to:
a. maintain public confidence in the impartiality and independence of the judiciary;
b. avoid involvement in public discussion or discourse if his or her involvement could reasonably undermine confidence in his or her impartiality;
c. avoid such occasions and circumstances where such involvement may unnecessarily expose the Judge to political attacks or be inconsistent with the dignity of a Judicial officer; and/or
d. adhere strictly to political silence.
Flowing from the above, the fisrt thing that jumps out in 5(d) is the indiscretion of Justice Olukayode Ariwoola to fail to adhere to political silence. Rather he chose to be a recruiting agent for a distinct and unmistakable political group.
Furthermore, the Chief Justice of Nigeria has by his pronouncement desecrated the dignity of the Judiciary, demonstrated partiality, eroded public confidence, exposed the Judiciary to political attacks and acted in a manner that is inconsistent with the character, colour and calling of his exalted office. In fact he broke all the rules in this section. This represents a sad irony. It is a case of the gatekeeper carting away the goods in his custody.
We are worried by this development, as this has confirmed the suspicion in certain circles that the Judiciary has compromised its independence and is now dependent on certain interests, particularly in the Executive Branch. One can imagine a scenario in which the group the Chief Justice of Nigeria has patronised so openly appears before him with another party in a dispute. Where he presides bias can not be ruled out and where he does not preside his influence on other Judges can not be discounted.
With the scandalous conduct of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, it has become expedient and a matter of honour that he resigns from the exalted office that he has demonstrably abused. If he chooses to prolong his stay in office, to continue to serve the interest of his political friends, he may choose to recuse himself as Chairman of the National Judicial Council, turn himself in as a suspect, proceed on leave and allow for a thorough evaluation of his conduct in line with the provisions of Section 5 of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers.
Hon Justice Olukayode Ariwoola has a duty to save the Judiciary, himself and Nigeria's democracy.
God bless Nigeria.

Exactly what will happen when Obi becomes the president and C. I. C. To survive this minefield, Adeleke should introduce people oriented policies that would make even the opposition HOA members to approve his request.

he will do that. He has it in his plans.

77up:
but those newly employed,I wish Mr governor all the wisdom to deal with it, it's accepted that formal governor did not do it at the right time but I wish he can leave those guys to continue working.

That job is a dream come true for them and their families obviously, don't be surprised that many of them even vote your principal.

yes. They are Pdp core leaders for years
