Politics › Osun State To Buy New Security Drones After 5 Previously Bought Goes 'Missing' by Osazeidehen(op): 8:35pm On Jun 03

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has directed his security team to commence processes for the acquisition of new surveillance drones and other security equipment following the alleged disappearance of five security drones.

The decision was reached after a series of security meetings chaired by Adeleke over the past four days, according to a statement issued on Wednesday, by the governor's spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed.

Following a review of the situation during the security meetings, Rasheed said Governor Adeleke ordered steps to procure new drones and other security gadgets to strengthen the state's security architecture and improve efforts against crime and banditry.

"We are not interested in what has happened in the past. Our goal is to acquire new drones and other needed equipment and materials for our formal and informal security networks to combat crimes and banditry in this state," Rasheed quoted Adeleke as saying.

The governor also reassured residents of his administration's commitment to protecting lives and property.

"Once again, I assure the good people of Osun that our government is committed to their safety and security. I urge the public to notify security agencies of any suspicious movement or individuals in their areas," the governor added.

However, Rasheed did not indicate the number of drones being considered for purchase or the projected cost of the proposed acquisition.

The development comes amid a recent spate of kidnappings across the country, particularly following the abduction of dozens of teachers and pupils from schools in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, which borders Osun State.

Politics › Court Orders INEC To Prosecute Tinubu’s Minister Onyejeocha Over Alleged Forgery by Osazeidehen(op): 2:12pm On Oct 24, 2025

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to investigate and prosecute Hon. Nkeiruka Chidubem Onyejeocha, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment in the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration, over allegations of forging election results of 62 polling units during the 2023 general elections in Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency of Abia State.

The order was made on September 23, 2025, through an Order of Mandamus following an ex parte application by Hon. Amobi Godwin Ogah, the Labour Party (LP) lawmaker representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency.Ogah, in his ex parte application, accused Onyejeocha, a four-term former lawmaker of the All Progressives Congress (APC), of forging election results of 62 polling units which she tendered as Exhibit 3 before the Election Petition Tribunal to claim that she won the election, whereas she lost to the Labour Party.

The documents were confirmed by INEC not to be authentic or issued by the electoral umpire, yet Onyejeocha used them to claim victory in the election.Despite petitions written to INEC by Ogah in April and May 2025, the electoral umpire failed to act, prompting the lawmaker to approach the court for an Order of Mandamus to compel INEC to investigate the alleged electoral offence.

Delivering his ruling, the presiding judge, Justice M.G. Umar, said he was satisfied that Ogah had placed relevant materials in the affidavit in support of the application.“I am satisfied that the applicant (Ogah) has placed relevant materials in the affidavit in support of this application, and this court is thereby persuaded to exercise discretion in favour of the applicant,” the judge held.

The judge further noted that the application was brought under Section 115 of the Electoral Act, 2022, and Order 34 of the Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2019.In his affidavit, Ogah had told the court that the tribunal nullified his election partly based on the falsified result sheets, but the Court of Appeal upturned the decision of the tribunal and restored his mandate, noting that the exhibits presented by Onyejeocha were at variance with the documents in the possession of INEC.

This is coming barely three weeks after another Tinubu’s minister, Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, resigned from the cabinet after allegations of forging his university degree and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate.

In his resignation letter, Nnaji had claimed that the allegations against him were “political blackmail” by those who were intimidated by his rising political profile. He, however, did not deny that his degree and NYSC certificates were forged.He thanked President Tinubu for giving him the opportunity to serve in his cabinet.

Politics › Nigerians Kick Back Against Joe Ajaero Over Plot To Use NLC For Politics by Osazeidehen(op): 10:19am On Sep 21, 2025

A nationwide revolt is brewing against the NLC President's misguided attempt to transform the workers' union into a political tool**

A groundswell of opposition has emerged across Nigeria as citizens and civil society organizations unite in condemning Joe Ajaero's brazen attempt to weaponize the Nigeria Labour Congress for partisan political purposes. The NLC President's recent announcement that the union would stage mass protests over Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's suspension has ignited fierce backlash, with Nigerians rejecting what they see as a fundamental betrayal of the labor movement's mission.

Multiple civil society organizations have joined forces demanding Ajaero's immediate resignation, arguing that his actions constitute gross abuse of office and dangerous departure from the union's mandate to protect workers' rights. These groups have condemned his intervention as "partisan politics" that has no place in a labor organization supposedly dedicated to advancing workers' welfare.

What has particularly incensed critics is the glaring hypocrisy in Ajaero's approach to judicial matters. While he preaches respect for court processes in labor disputes, he disregards the same principles for his political allies. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's case involves multiple court proceedings, defamation suits, and contempt findings, yet Ajaero demands immediate reinstatement while trampling on legal due process.

The timing could not be worse for Nigerian workers grappling with unprecedented economic hardships. Families struggle to afford basic necessities as inflation ravages household budgets. The national power grid remains in perpetual collapse, plunging millions into darkness and crippling businesses. Unemployment rates climb while workers see no progress on minimum wage adjustments. Against this backdrop, Ajaero's decision to expend NLC resources on senatorial squabbles appears callously indifferent to workers' suffering.

The backlash has transcended social media outrage to become an organized movement demanding accountability. Professional associations, market traders' unions, student organizations, and community leaders have voiced disapproval of Ajaero's political adventurism. Their message is clear: NLC exists to champion workers' rights, not serve as a vehicle for political interference. Many draw parallels to Adams Oshiomhole's trajectory, noting how political ambitions ultimately undermined his effectiveness as a labor leader.

This resistance represents genuine grassroots rejection of leadership that has lost its way. Workers who trusted Ajaero to fight for better wages and working conditions now find themselves represented by someone more interested in senatorial politics than their daily struggles. The betrayal cuts deep because it strikes at the heart of the social contract between labor leaders and their constituents.

Under Ajaero's leadership, the union has achieved few tangible victories despite numerous strike threats. The power crisis continues unabated with no meaningful NLC engagement. Wage negotiations have stalled while workers bear economic hardship as their supposed champion pursues political sideshows. Perhaps most damaging is the perception that he has grown too comfortable with political power brokers, compromising the independence essential for effective labor advocacy.

Civil society organizations argue that Ajaero's actions violate fundamental principles of labor unionism and set dangerous precedents that could politicize other professional organizations. Some are mobilizing peaceful protests demanding his resignation, while others prepare formal petitions to the NLC's executive council.

The growing opposition reflects deeper concerns about the Nigerian labor movement's direction and the need to preserve institutions that can effectively advocate for workers' rights. This moment represents a critical test of whether the NLC can course-correct before irreparable damage is done to its reputation and effectiveness.

As resistance builds momentum, Ajaero faces an increasingly untenable position. The very workers he was elected to represent now actively call for his removal, questioning his judgment and demanding return to NLC's core mission. The message from Nigerian workers and civil society is clear: labor unions must focus on labor issues, not political theatrics.

This nationwide rejection of Ajaero's political meddling may represent a turning point for the Nigerian labor movement, demonstrating that workers will not passively accept leadership that betrays their trust for political gain. The question now is whether NLC's institutional structures are strong enough to respond to this grassroots demand for accountability.

Politics › Tension In C’river Over Alleged Order By Otu To Stop Inauguration Of FG Projects by Osazeidehen(op): 6:55am On Jun 15, 2025

The Cross River State Governor, Senator Bassey Otu, has been accused of allegedly orchestrating a calculated disruption of the inauguration of projects executed by the Federal Government in Calabar, the state capital.

The incident, allegedly involved the destruction of structures prepared for the inauguration of a road projects executed by the Federal Government through the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

The Calabar South Local Government Chairman, Hon. Patrick Archibong, was alleged to have personally led some people to stop the inauguration of the project amidst claims by him that he was acting on the instructions of the governor.

It was also alleged that the chairman deployed a team of security personnel and heavy-duty machinery, including a caterpillar, to forcibly block the Idang Road, the designated venue for the inauguration of a newly completed federal road project scheduled for 11 a.m.

It was also alleged that the move effectively crippled access to the site, and disrupted all logistics prepared for the inauguration of the project.

The team led by the chairman was accused of brazenly dismantling canopies, destroying the stage, and tearing down all erected signage, including large billboards bearing the image of President Bola Tinubu, which had been mounted to honour his administration’s role in facilitating the NDDC projects.

The banners and billboards were allegedly, personally destroyed and removed by Hon. Patrick Archibong, the LG Chairman of Calabar South, who stated that he was acting on Governor Otu’s directive.

The inauguration was to be presided over by the Minister of Regional Development, Mr. Abubakar Momoh, who was in Calabar as President Tinubu’s official representative.

Politics › Senator Murray Ben Bruce Hits At Senator Natasha Reckless Accusations by Osazeidehen(op): 3:01pm On Mar 03, 2025

"The allegations made by Senator Natasha Akpoti against the Senate president, Senator Godswill Akpabio, should not be tried in the media regardless of its magnitude, the controversy or the interest it generates.

What should be of concern is if there is any physical evidence to support the allegations. If the answer is no, then rather than create a media circus, what should be done is set up a Senate committee of investigation to get to the bottom of the matter and protect the integrity of the institution.

A media trial only creates drama. It does not create certainty. Prior to these allegations, the 10th Senate led by Senator Akpabio has enjoyed the confidence of the Nigerian public. Besides the Jonathan era, this is perhaps the only other Senate that has had two years without any executive, legislative tension.

For the Senate to continue to enjoy the public confidence that it has enjoyed on the Senate to Akpabio's leadership and investigation should be carried out. One thing I must emphasize, as a former Senator, is that seating arrangements are changed when political alignments change.
There is nothing unusual about this. It is merely procedural and is a practice in Parliament around the world. My name is Ben Murray Bruce and I just want to make common sense."

Politics › 'Akpabio Wanted To Sleep With Me' - Natasha Akpoti Alleges by Osazeidehen(op): 9:52am On Feb 28, 2025

My issue with Akpabio started on 8th of December, 2023. When myself and my husband visited Akwa Ibom for Senator Akpabio’s birthday. Akpabio was showing me around his house and was holding my hands with my husband following behind us when he said, he wants me to come and be spending special moments in his house. My husband heard him and later told me not to travel abroad alone or be with the Senate President alone — Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Arise TV Morning Show today

Natasha Accuses Akpabio of Making Sexual Advances to Her

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Friday accused the Senate President Godswill Akpabio of making sexual advances at her.

She alleged that most of the intimate love calls from Akpabio comes in the dead of the night and that she usually wakes her husband and put the conversations on speaker.

Natasha alleged that it was her refusal to yield to the sexual advances from Akpabio that is behind the hatred and antagonism against her.

The Kogi Central Senator made the allegation when she appeared on the Morning Show aired by the Arise News Channel in Abuja.

She maintained that her refusal to yield to consistent sexual advances from the Senate President both within and outside the country, was the cause of her victimisation in the Senate.

On the sitting arrangement saga, Akpoti-Uduaghan admitted that the Order 10 of the Senate Rules stipulates that a senator must speak from his or her seat but that when it comes to the issue of privileges, senators can speak from anywhere.

Asked why her other three female senators were not forthcoming to speak against her ordeal, Natasha said their reasons were best known to them.

She however, said the Senator representing FCT, Ireti Kingibe, called to condemn her for instituting defamatory suit against the Senate President.

On the night club comments of the Senate President, Akpoti-Uduaghan said, it was not a slip of tongue because the Senate President had allegedly once suggested to her that he could organise a party in form of a night club where they could have fun.

She likened her predicament in the hands of the Senate President to a young female student who refused sexual advances from her lecturer but vowed to maintain her integrity in the midst of any form of victimisation.

She also denied allegations of corruption contained in a petition by a northern youth group to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, Public Petitions and Code of Conduct.

Akpoti-Uduaghan alleged the petition was sponsored by those who wanted her to be sharing funds meant for Committee works to them.

She further alleged that the Senate leadership had once warned her to stop her constant confrontation with the Senate President because if Akpabio goes down, she would also go down with him.

She said, “It all started on the 18th of December 2023, which was a day before his birthday and my birthday, we are birthday mates. We were all in Akwa Ibom because he had a big fanfare in the stadium.

“Myself, my husband and a few of his close friends, we went to Akwa Ibom and at first we were at Ikot Ekpene, where his house is then we all moved to his house in Uyo. It was about 8pm and he held my hand and said he wanted to show me around his house.

“My husband was walking behind us. Just three of us. We were walking around from room to room. He showed me the beautiful interior.

“He noticed that he has to be spaced while still holding my hand. My husband was behind still on his phone, but he was watching up whenever he could and then he got to this particular sitting room and he said, do you like my house?

“I said, of course, sir. Every room, beautiful, nice interior, quality taste. He said, now that you’re a senator, I’m going to create time for us to come spend quality moments here. You will enjoy it.

“At that point, I just pulled away and I was like, ‘I don’t really understand what exactly that meant.’ But then my husband when I turned around was already near me, and the way my husband looked at me and looked at him, I was beginning to wonder, did he hear part of that inciting statements or not?

“And then the Senate President too, I saw that he also had that thought like, did my husband hear the invitation to treat or not?

“So then the Senate President now said, oh, by the way, let me show you my chapel. He has a chapel in his house as well.

“So to the chapel. I know we walked in silence and all. So that evening before we left the Senate President’s house at about 11 midnight to the Four Point Hotel, my husband asked me, Natasha, what did the Senate President tell you. What was he telling you?

“I thought, should I tell him that he was speaking about bringing me in here at a special time for us to have a good time? Or should I just kill it there?

“I just gave him some words to mask what was said. After when we laid in bed to my right and my husband wrapped his hands around me and he said, my love you know you can tell me anything.

“What did the Senate President tell you? Again I was like don’t you believe me?

“I said nothing, nothing. Moreover it’s my birthday in a few minutes, let’s just be happy.”

Politics › Re: Obaseki, Asue Deploy Fake Civil Society To Attack Okpebholo Over Deepfake Video” by Osazeidehen: 8:45am On May 09, 2024

Their plan no go work. Na APC go still enter

Osaguy:
In a devious ploy to undermine the integrity of the electoral process, Governor Godwin Obaseki and his political protégé, Mr. Asue Ighodalo, have resorted to hiring roadside thugs disguised as civil society actors to harass the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Distinguished Senator Monday Okpebholo.

The Senator Monday Okpebholo Campaign Organisation said it has uncovered the clandestine operation of these unscrupulous individuals masquerading as a Civil Society group, lacking a known address in Abuja.

This group, purportedly named the “Network of Civil Society Organisations in Nigeria,” convened a sham press conference on Monday, calling for the arrest of Senator Okpebholo over a deepfake video in circulation.

Director of Media and Publicity of the Campaign Organisation, Mr. John Mayaki, expressed dismay at the degeneration of the polity where fake groups operating on behalf of the PDP candidate engage in such reprehensible acts without any genuine accountability.

Mayaki said, “Upon investigation, it was revealed that the alleged office address of the so-called civil society group at Banex Plaza was a fabrication, with the actual occupants being Dipas Raven Limited, a medical equipment repair shop.

“Further scrutiny revealed that the group had no credible online presence, raising suspicions about their authenticity and motives. This blatant attempt to discredit Senator Okpebholo through fabricated allegations reflects the desperation of Governor Obaseki and his camp to secure victory by any means necessary, including resorting to baseless accusations and blackmail.

“The Okpebholo Campaign Organisation remains steadfast in exposing such deceitful tactics and upholding the integrity of the electoral process”, Mayaki said.
