Another election season, another cash-out. If you want to cash out, simply create some phantom, pseudo group claiming to represent Obidients and promise to deliver a non-existent million votes. Everybody knows he is desperado drug bárón, supervising an administration that has, in the eyes of millions of Nigerians failed woefully and spectacularly, plunging the country into deeper insecurity, soaring inflation, and worsening hardship, yet he still wants to remain president against the will of the people. |
Group to Tinubu: Stop wasting public funds on coastal road, criticising governor’s flyovers — Hails Aiyedatiwa’s Akure flyover The Young Advocates for Good Governance (YAGG), Ondo State chapter, has asked President Bola Tinubu President to focus on addressing more pressing national needs instead of criticising governors over the construction of flyovers in their respective states. It equally urged the president ” to stop committing huge public funds to the 700-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, describing the project as a misplaced priority in view of the country’s numerous infrastructural challenges. YAGG advised presidential aides to counsel Tinubu against what it called “wasteful spending” on the coastal project. “Rather than advising state governors to stop building flyovers, which the President reportedly described as a waste of public funds, he should first look inward and reassess some of his own policies,” the statement said. The group alleged that some federal government actions were driven more by politics than development and amounted to “an unnecessary drain on the nation’s resources.” YAGG further accused the federal government of diverting “huge sums of money to a minister to destabilise a state for the sole purpose of undermining the political interests of a serving governor.” It said such political manoeuvres contributed nothing to governance and only diverted scarce resources from projects that directly benefit the people. The group, however, commended Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for commencing construction of the 2.3-kilometre Oba-Adesida Flyover in Akure. It expressed confidence that the project would ease traffic congestion, attract investment, create jobs and boost economic activities in the state capital. YAGG also questioned why Tinubu did not apply the same standard to the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. It argued that the federal government would not need to spend half of the estimated ₦15 trillion earmarked for the coastal road if it chose to reconstruct existing federal highways nationwide. “We are aware that the Lagos to Calabar Coastal Road is not primarily about economic importance but more about personal interest,” the group said. “After all, there was no record of competitive bidding before the Federal Government awarded the contract to HITECH Construction Company Limited, a company that is rumoured to be owned by an ally of the President.” The group said it was baffling that the project was starting “at a time when the country’s finances are heading south and in the face of the dilapidated state of thousands of kilometres of existing highways, which have become death traps.” “Who should be more mindful of wasting public funds on less important projects, the President or the governors?” it asked. YAGG urged the federal government to prioritise rehabilitation of existing roads that serve millions of Nigerians daily over projects “whose economic value remains questionable.” “Leaders at all levels must ensure that public resources are deployed prudently and in ways that directly improve the lives of the people,” it added. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2026/07/group-to-tinubu-stop-wasting-public-funds-on-coastal-road-criticising-governors-flyovers/amp/ |

If they get a second tenure, they will sell this country because from day one they didn't come in to govern. - Ogun A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Omosede Igbinedion Ogun, has accused the administration of President Bola Tinubu of prioritising political survival over governance, alleging that the government has been focused on securing another term since assuming office. Speaking during an interview on News Central TV, Ogun argued that the administration had failed to address the country's pressing economic and social challenges because its attention was fixed on retaining power. According to him, "If they get a second tenure, they will sell this country because from day one they didn't come in to govern." The former lawmaker alleged that the administration began planning for re-election immediately after the presidential inauguration instead of concentrating on policies aimed at improving the welfare of Nigerians. He claimed that rather than implementing reforms to tackle inflation, unemployment and insecurity, those in power had devoted their energy to political calculations ahead of the next general election. Ogun maintained that the government had no clear blueprint for governance from the outset, insisting that its major objective was to consolidate political power. He also criticised officials who blamed the country's economic woes solely on the previous administration, noting that many of them actively supported former President Muhammadu Buhari throughout his two terms in office. According to Ogun, members of the current administration cannot distance themselves from the economic conditions they inherited because they played significant roles in the government that preceded President Tinubu's administration. He further alleged that resources were already being deployed to influence the outcome of the next election, while millions of Nigerians continued to grapple with poverty and a high cost of living. The former legislator urged opposition political parties and citizens to unite ahead of the next general election, arguing that only a collective effort could bring about a change in leadership. Speaking on the integrity of future elections, Ogun expressed confidence that advances in technology would make it more difficult to manipulate election results. He claimed that political stakeholders had developed independent systems, including the deployment of artificial intelligence, to monitor voting and verify results in real time. According to him, such technological measures would ensure that Nigerians are able to determine the genuine outcome of the election without relying solely on official declarations. Ogun's comments come amid increasing political activities and early alignments by parties and political figures ahead of the next electoral cycle, with debates intensifying over the performance of the Tinubu administration and the direction of governance in Nigeria. https://news-af.feednews.com/news/detail/4e89166258999d1359080b3dde57a026?client=news |
Says a minister who couldn't implement a simple cashless policy in our Airports |
Five students of the Gateway ICT Polytechnic, Saapade (GAPOSA), Ogun State, were abducted by suspected bandits on Wednesday night. Daily Trust learnt that the attackers invaded a private students’ hostel along Paraga Road, Ipara-Remo, one of the communities adjoining the polytechnic, at about 8pm on Wednesday. Our correspondent further gathered that the attack lasted for approximately 30 minutes, during which the assailants fired gunshots and abducted some students. Some students who spoke with our correspondent claimed that at least eight students were abducted. However, the Students’ Union Government (SUG) confirmed that five students were affected. Following the incident, the polytechnic management in an official notice suspended the examination scheduled for Thursday. In a statement, the SUG said the attacked hostel “is situated in a remote area surrounded by thick bush, making it vulnerable and unsuitable as a safe residential environment for students.” The statement was jointly signed by the SUG President Akinpelu Bukunmi Timothy, General Secretary Salau Boluwaduro Saidat, and Public Relations Officer (PRO) Matthew Francis Sonayon. “We can confirm that five students were abducted during the incident. The matter has been officially reported to the Nigeria Police Force and other relevant security agencies, and we are confident that immediate efforts are underway to ensure the safe rescue of the affected students,” it said. The Chairman of Remo Local Government, Muyiwa Sodade, also confirmed the incident, saying security operatives were combing nearby forests in search of the victims. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, confirmed the abduction but said the command had yet to ascertain whether the victims were students. “I can tell you there were abductions, but I cannot confirm anything beyond that for now. We are gathering intelligence and will provide further updates as they become available,” Babaseyi said. Daily Trust reports that institutions in parts of the state, especially Gateway ICT Polytechnic, Sapaade, have repeatedly faced security threats, with several incidents resulting in the killing of students and the looting of their property. In May, an armed robbery attack claimed the life of a student of Gateway ICT Polytechnic. https://dailytrust.com/suspected-bandits-abduct-5-students-in-ogun/ |

The Secretary to the Osun State Government, Teslim Igbalaiye, has been released by the Osun State Police Command. Igbalaiye’s release was announced by Pelumi Olajengbesi, the spokesperson for the Imole Campaign Council, the group leading the re-election campaign of Governor Ademola Adeleke. Olajengbesi shared the development on his verified Facebook page on Thursday. “We sincerely appreciate the Inspector General of Police and the Commissioner of Police, Osun State Command, for listening to the voice of reason despite pressure and for responding to the people’s demand regarding the unlawful arrest of the Secretary to the State Government, Chief Igbalaye Teslim. “The Nigerian Police Force best serves the nation when it stands against oppression and upholds justice and the rule of law. Welcome back, Chief Igbalaye Teslim. Your courage and sacrifice for the people of Osun State will not be forgotten. Our SSG is out, back and solid,” Olajengbesi wrote. The spokesperson for the Osun State Police Command, Abiodun Ojelabi, also confirmed the release in a telephone conversation with journalists in Osogbo. The PUNCH reports that Igbalaiye and five others were arrested and detained by the state police command after a raid on his residence in Osogbo on Wednesday. The police stated that among those arrested at the SSG’s residence was a suspect on the police watchlist in connection with criminal offences, Oladele Abiodun. Ojelabi also said a sum of N4,810,500, two Permanent Voter Cards, a voter register, a Dynabook laptop, one photocopy machine and one printer were recovered from Igbalaiye’s residence. Others arrested with Igbalaiye include Akande Taiwo, 60; Adeyemo Lukman, 45; Olaoye Muftau, 50; and Aderemi Musliu, 40. The PPRO said a police team, acting on intelligence that a criminal gang was hibernating at a location in Osogbo, carried out a lawful raid and apprehended the suspects. He said, “During the operation, officers recovered exhibits comprising a cash sum of four million, eight hundred and ten thousand, five hundred naira (N4,810,500), one Dynabook laptop, one photocopy machine, one printer, two voter cards and a voter register for Wards 1-15. “These exhibits have been secured and are currently in police custody for detailed forensic examination and further investigation. “The recovery of the cash and the register containing voters’ details raises serious concerns regarding possible electoral offences and other criminal activities. “While investigations are still ongoing, the facts presently available disclose reasonable grounds to investigate the commission of offences, which may include: “Bribery of voters (vote buying), contrary to Section 121 of the Electoral Act, 2022, arising from the alleged distribution of money or other inducements to registered voters for the purpose of influencing their voting decisions. “Criminal conspiracy, where two or more persons are found to have agreed to commit an unlawful act; harbouring or concealing a wanted criminal, where any individual is found to have knowingly sheltered or assisted a fugitive from justice; and any other offences that may be disclosed upon the conclusion of the ongoing investigation.” The release came hours after the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, alleged that the arrest of the SSG was ordered by the state Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan, following an incident at an Independent National Electoral Commission stakeholders’ meeting. Egbedun claimed the commissioner directed the arrest after he was booed by some attendees and noticed Igbalaiye laughing during the incident. He also alleged that the SSG was later informed that police officers were waiting at his residence. The police, however, maintained that the raid and arrests were based on intelligence linking the suspects to alleged criminal activities and possible electoral offences. https://punchng.com/just-in-police-release-osun-ssg/ |

Burob:Out of every issue raised in this thread about the police's illegal raid on Accord Party members, the only thing that caught your attention was an opportunity to spread bile, ethnic hatred, and tribal bigotry. |
SamuraiXXX:I must have hit a nerve there. That's why you jumped into my mentions like a crying antelope, just because I said the obvious truth. It's a truth you already know, but then again , it's still needs to be said and reiterated. And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. |
ijayalolo:Actually, the company is nothing more than a conduit pipe connecting the Lagos Treasury to Tinubu's pocket, through which the entire common wealth of Lagosians is being siphoned and looted |

press9jatv:Tinubu looting Treasury you mean He has been doing that since 99' |
Arrested with Less than 5million when its not a robbery scene 2 voters card Voter register... Smh! We have seen this playbook before. While the police focus on the Accord Party, making arrests and telling the world they're curbing crime and vote-buying, the APC on the other hand will be having a field day, engaging in criminal activities and buying votes with impunity, unhindered and, most times, with the active connivance of the very same police. The police will be taken seriously when the APC criminals and vote buyers are arrested as well |
Tinubu doesn't need to tell Nigerians that INEC is neutral and expect them to believe it. INEC's actions and inactions, must demonstrate neutrality and inspire public confidence. |
Vision101:You mean a trained accountant whose name appears in U.S. court records involving the forfeiture of over $460,000 connected to narcotics proceeds? That's quite an interesting credential to leave out. If we're discussing professional backgrounds, let's discuss the whole record |
