Masters of the Game: The Political Heavyweights of Ado-Odo/Ota | By Lukman Omikunle
Among these past political icons are the late Chief Rabiu Suleiman Ojolowo-Ojuko, Chief Nasir Deinde, Chief Rakeeb Adeniji, Chief Tajudeen Abiola, Chief Gbolahan Salami and Mukandas Alani Akinde

Politics, at its core, is the art of influence, decision-making, and power dynamics, with every individual, whether consciously or unconsciously, playing a role in shaping the socio-political landscape—from the home to the community, and ultimately, to the broader state and national stage, writes Lukman Omikunle.

In the context of Ado-Odo/Ota, the industrial heart of Ogun State, several political figures have left indelible marks on the Council’s political terrain since the establishment of the local government in 1987. Over the years, the area has been home to prominent leaders who have shaped its development, both in terms of infrastructure and human capital.

Among these political icons are the late Chief Rabiu Suleiman Ojolowo-Ojuko, Chief Nasir Deinde, Chief Rakeeb Adeniji, Chief Tajudeen Abiola, and Chief Gbolahan Salami—figures who contributed significantly to the local and state political fabric. In today’s political scene, however, the stage is set for a new generation of leaders, blending seasoned veterans with rising stars, all playing key roles in shaping the future of Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government.

In this article, Lukman Omikunle examines the current political gladiators of Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government, the movers and shakers who hold the reins of power and influence. From the seasoned to the emerging, these are the true power brokers of the region.

Cyberstalking: Mischief Makers Resurfacing Old Video of Rep. Tunji Akinosi – Aide

"Those currently spreading misinformation about the Federal lawmaker are misinformed and unfamiliar with the facts"

Some anonymous individuals are said to be circulating an old video in which a woman accuses Hon. Tunji Akinosi, a member of the Federal House of Representatives, of assaulting a sachet water hawker.

This video reappeared on various social media platforms on Thursday, accompanied by provocative captions criticizing lawmakers.

The shared video with the caption posted read:

“This is another National Assembly member assaulting people on the road.

“What is wrong with these lawless idiots calling themselves House of Reps Members?

“Maybe they have a secret place in the National Assembly where they smoke something. It makes them to settle conflicts with fights instead calmly resolving it. This one again is even worse than the former.

“Attempting to beat up a woman? Somebody’s wife? Honestly they do not know that Nigerians are not happy with them.”

In response, Akinosi’s media aide, Joel Okeodebija described the individuals sharing the video as mischievous and unfamiliar with the details of the incident. “They are reviving an old issue from last year, long before the Honorable was sworn in. They seek attention, but they won’t find it,” he stated.

What Happened


In May 2023, Hon. Akinosi was alleged to have been involved in a confrontation following a minor accident with a street hawker shortly after being elected. A video of the incident, which many deemed inappropriate, quickly went viral, falsely portraying a violent encounter with a woman.

In addressing the rumors, Akinosi explained that while he would typically ignore such posts, he felt compelled to clarify the situation.
He recounted, “There was traffic along the Onikan route due to the May Day celebration, causing hawkers to crowd the area. One of them accidentally damaged my car’s side mirror. As my driver stopped to assess the damage, the hawker fell to the ground, claiming to have a broken leg, likely anticipating compensation.

“Before I knew it, a crowd surrounded my car, demanding I admit to injuring the hawker. I explained that my driver was already handling the matter. Suddenly, a woman appeared, shouting that she recognized me.

“As the situation escalated, I proposed two options: we could either go to the police station to file a formal complaint and then to the General Hospital in Onikan, ready to pay for any medical expenses if the hawker was indeed injured, or he would need to cover the cost of repairing my side mirror if no injury was found. Upon hearing this, the hawker quickly begged to be allowed to return to his work, claiming that others had urged him to feign injury.” Read more >>> https://newsheadline247.com/cyberstalking-mischief-makers-resurfacing-old-video-of-rep-tunji-akinosi-aide/

HOUSING: Discover the New Property Hotspots…, Why More Buyers are Choosing Adron Homes

The concept of “home” has evolved, particularly in light of recent global events prompting people to reassess their priorities


In recent years, a significant shift in where people choose to call home has been quietly reshaping the property market. From bustling cities to serene suburban towns, the narrative of homeownership is being rewritten as more individuals and families seek out new environments that offer a better quality of life, more space, and a stronger sense of community.

At the forefront of this transformation is Adron Homes, a real estate company that has not only recognized these emerging trends but has positioned itself as the premier choice for discerning buyers.

Suburban towns, smaller cities, and even rural locales are experiencing a renaissance, with people flocking to these areas for a variety of reasons:

“The Cost of Vendetta Politics…,” Ogun State Pays the Price

When Senator Ibikunle Amosun assumed office as governor in 2011, he had the opportunity to complete these crucial projects and continue the trajectory of growth for the state. Instead, Amosun chose to abandon most of these initiatives, driven not by a strategic vision for the state but by a vendetta against his predecessor


Governance thrives when it is treated as a continuous process, where each administration builds upon the groundwork laid by its predecessors. Unfortunately, in Ogun State, this principle has been repeatedly undermined by a cycle of vendetta and victimization, where successive leaders choose to dismantle rather than develop the initiatives they inherit.
