Norway’s King Harald V has died at the age of 89, bringing his 35-year reign to an end.

The Norwegian royal palace confirmed that the monarch died at the National Hospital in Oslo at 6:35 a.m. on Friday.

Harald, who was Europe’s oldest reigning monarch, became king in 1991 following the death of his father, King Olav V.

His death means his son, Crown Prince Haakon, has now succeeded him as King Haakon VIII.

Harald was widely known for modernising Norway’s monarchy while maintaining a strong connection with the Norwegian people. He also made headlines during his lifetime for marrying his longtime sweetheart, Sonja Haraldsen, instead of choosing a bride from another European royal family.

The king also became known for his strong public statements on democracy, diversity, refugees and LGBTQ+ equality.

His final years were marked by several health challenges and hospitalisations, although he continued to serve as king and rejected the idea of abdication.

The ongoing legal challenge by former Senator Ayo Arise, who represented Ekiti North Senatorial District in the Nigerian Senate from 2007 to 2011, over the conduct of the 2026 APC senatorial primary has once again brought the issue of due process within political parties into sharp focus. While the courts will determine the merits of his case, the broader principle at stake goes beyond any individual or political ambition. It concerns the integrity of internal party democracy and the need for every member to have confidence in the party's processes.

This is not a new position for me.

On October 9, 2018, The Nation newspaper published my concerns under the headline, "Aspirant Condemns APC Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency I Primaries." Following the APC House of Assembly primary in Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency I, I publicly expressed concern over what I described as serious irregularities. These included allegations that some individuals voted without proper accreditation, certain voters were counted multiple times, and the process lacked transparency. I also noted that the screening outcome had not been released before the primary, while the rescheduled election date was communicated only on the morning of the exercise, creating unnecessary confusion for aspirants and their supporters.

At the time, I acknowledged that the party leadership may have intended to strengthen participation through open primaries. However, I maintained that good intentions alone were not enough. Electoral processes must be properly planned, transparently conducted, and faithfully implemented in accordance with the party's constitution and guidelines.

Importantly, I urged aggrieved party members to pursue their grievances with maturity while calling on party leaders to ensure future primaries were better organised, properly monitored, and conducted with fairness and equity. I expressed confidence that our party would remain formidable only if it upheld justice and due process in both decision-making and implementation.

My position then remains my position today.

Political parties are the foundation of representative democracy. When democratic principles are weakened within a political party, public confidence in the broader electoral system is inevitably affected. Every aspirant, regardless of status or influence, deserves a level playing field governed by fairness, transparency, and respect for established rules.

The concerns now being raised by Senator Ayo Arise following the APC Ekiti North Senatorial District primary reflect this same enduring principle. Whether one agrees with his claims or not, every party member has the right to expect that internal elections will be conducted in accordance with the party's constitution and that disputes will be resolved through lawful and transparent mechanisms.

Respect for due process is not a privilege reserved for a few. It is an obligation owed to every member of the party. It safeguards institutional credibility, strengthens party unity, and reinforces public trust in democratic governance.

As members of a progressive political family, we must continue to advocate reforms that deepen transparency, accountability, and internal democracy. Strong institutions, not individual interests remain the enduring pillars of every successful political party.

The lesson is simple: democracy begins within our political parties. When due process is respected, justice is strengthened, confidence is restored, and the party emerges stronger. That was the principle I defended in 2018, and it remains the principle worth defending today.

14 Years of Democratizing Landownership: How Adron Homes Is Redefining Mass Housing in Nigeria


For decades, homeownership in Nigeria remained an elusive dream for millions, restricted by rising rents, unstable housing markets, and mortgage systems beyond the reach of the average citizen. Fourteen years ago, Adron Homes and Properties Limited set out to challenge this reality with a bold and disruptive vision: to make land and homeownership affordable, accessible, and achievable for everyday Nigerians.

Founded on the principle that housing should be a right and not a privilege, Adron Homes has steadily emerged as one of Nigeria’s most influential mass housing developers. At the heart of its success is an affordability-driven model that prioritizes inclusion without compromising quality. Through flexible payment plans, low initial deposits, and extended installment options, the company has broken long-standing financial barriers that once excluded civil servants, young professionals, artisans, traders, and Nigerians in the diaspora from owning property.

Fourteen years on, this vision has translated into tangible impact across over 60 estates nationwide, strategically located in major and emerging growth corridors including Ibeju-Lekki, Lekki–Epe, Badagry, Shimawa, Papalanto, Sagamu, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Osun, Ekiti, Abuja, Nasarawa, and Niger State. Each estate represents more than infrastructure, it reflects Adron Homes’ commitment to decentralizing development and expanding access to property ownership beyond traditional urban centers.

Through this mass housing initiative, thousands of Nigerians have successfully transitioned from tenants to landlords, many achieving property ownership for the first time. Unlike conventional real estate models that emphasize exclusivity and luxury, Adron Homes has consistently aligned its offerings with the real income realities of the Nigerian population, ensuring that housing solutions remain practical, inclusive, and sustainable.

Beyond affordability, trust has remained a defining pillar of the Adron Homes brand. The company places strong emphasis on secure land titles, transparent documentation, and regulatory compliance, protecting subscribers from land disputes and fraudulent transactions. This focus on integrity has strengthened customer confidence and positioned Adron Homes as a dependable gateway to long-term wealth creation through real estate.

As Adron Homes marks its 14th anniversary, its mass housing journey stands as more than a corporate achievement but a national intervention. By restoring dignity, promoting financial security, and transforming thousands of property ownership dreams into reality, Adron Homes continues to play a vital role in shaping Nigeria’s housing landscape and building a future where more citizens can truly call a place their own.

The Chairman, Board of Directors, Management, and staff of Adron Group have congratulated the Government and people of Ondo State on the celebration of its 50th anniversary, describing the milestone as a significant chapter in Nigeria’s federal history and a testament to visionary leadership, resilience, and purposeful development.

In a goodwill message issued to commemorate the Golden Jubilee, Adron Group noted that since its creation in 1976, Ondo State has consistently distinguished itself as a centre of honour, intellect, and enterprise. Fondly referred to as The Sunshine State, the state has produced generations of outstanding professionals, administrators, and national leaders whose contributions continue to shape Nigeria’s socio-economic and political development.

According to the company, the strength of Ondo State lies not only in its rich cultural heritage and intellectual depth, but also in the values of integrity, diligence, and excellence that define its people. These qualities, Adron noted, have remained the bedrock of the state’s enduring relevance and national impact over the past five decades.

Adron Group further commended the state’s renewed drive in recent years towards infrastructure development, economic diversification, industrial growth, and youth empowerment, describing these initiatives as indicators of a forward-looking, inclusive development agenda anchored in sustainability and long-term prosperity.

“As a corporate organisation committed to nation-building and sustainable development, Adron Group recognises Ondo State as a strategic partner in progress,” the statement read. “We commend His Excellency, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, Executive Governor of Ondo State, and the leadership of the state at all levels for their dedication to public service and their commitment to the advancement of the people.”

As Ondo State marks its Golden Jubilee, Adron Group joined millions of well-wishers in celebrating a legacy of excellence, strength of character, and promise, while expressing optimism that the next fifty years will usher in greater milestones in economic vitality, social advancement, innovation, and enduring peace.

The company concluded by wishing the Government and people of Ondo State continued progress and prosperity, adding that the Sunshine State remains well-positioned to shine even brighter in the years ahead.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Adron Homes and Properties Limited, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking, has congratulated the Government and people of Oyo State as the state marks its 50th anniversary, describing the occasion as a celebration of resilience, cultural pride, and sustained progress.

He noted that since its creation, Oyo State has remained a strong contributor to Nigeria’s socio-economic and cultural development, emerging as a hub of commerce, education, and innovation.

According to him, the Golden Jubilee offers a moment for reflection and renewed commitment by government, private sector players, traditional institutions, and citizens toward building a more inclusive and prosperous state.

Aare Emmanuelking commended the state’s ongoing transformation through investments in infrastructure, economic expansion, and human capital development, adding that sustainable growth is deliberate and must remain purpose-driven.

He also praised the leadership of the current administration while acknowledging the contributions of past leaders whose efforts laid the foundation for today’s Oyo State.

Reaffirming Adron Homes’ commitment to national development, he described Oyo State as a land of opportunity. He wished the state continued peace and prosperity, expressing confidence that the next fifty years will bring even greater achievements for the Pace Setter State and its people.

The Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has taken notice of a malicious publication by an online news medium, Sahara Reporters, aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the Commission and its Management.

In a report on Thursday, September 25, the online newspaper published false, misleading, and unverified information under the title: “NDDC Projects Drag In Niger-Delta As Tinubu Government Fails To Publish Commission's Audit Report.”

The false report claimed, among other things, that the NDDC spent ₦5 billion of public funds to finance the 50th birthday celebration of its Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku. Obviously, the aim is to undermine the Commission's efforts in transforming the lives of Niger Deltans.

The report also claimed that “different projects in the Niger Delta region have continued to drag on as the Bola Tinubu administration fails to publish the forensic audit report of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).”

The allegations are not only false but also a deliberate attempt to detract from the Commission’s visible developmental strides. As has been clarified repeatedly, friends, family members, and associates of Dr. Ogbuku solely sponsored the birthday events, and not the NDDC.

For the records, the major highlight of Ogbuku’s birthday celebration was the launch of two books in Abuja. Rather than opting for a lavish or extravagant affair, Ogbuku's milestone was structured around three core pillars: intellectual reflection, communal celebration, and thanksgiving to God.

On the issue of project delivery, nothing can be father from the truth than the claim that there is a drag in the execution of NDDC projects because od non release of audit report.

The truth is that the NDDC has continued to demonstrate its determination to make the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Federal Government a reality in the Niger Delta region, and it remains committed to the mandate given to the Commission by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to change the narrative in Nigeria’s oil-producing region.

It is on record that in February this year, the NDDC inaugurated the 9.6-kilometre Abraka-Oben Road in Abraka, Ethiope East Local Government Area, Delta State, and flagged off the reconstruction of the Abraka-Agbor Road.

The following month, the Minister of Regional Development, Engr. Abubakar Momoh inaugurated the 7.3-kilometre Oyigbo Road network, which traverses Obunku, Umuosi, Obeakpu, Mgboji, and Ndoki communities in the Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State. He also launched the reconstruction of the Mgboji-Umuagbu Akwete Road, linking Rivers, Abia, and Akwa Ibom states.

Shortly after, the Commissin inaugurated the 7.8-km Eziama-Abba-Owerre Nkworji Road, linking Isiala Mbano Local Government Area to Nwangele Local Government Area of Imo State.

In the neighbouring Abia State, the Minister inaugurated the reconstructed 23.7-kilometre Ndoro-Ntalakwu Road Network and adjoining roads in Ikwuano Local Government Area, as well as the reconstructed Isi-Court Olokoro-Amaoba Oboro Road in Umuahia South LGA of Abia State.

In June, the Minister commissioned the Ultra-Modern NDDC Cross River State Office and a road network totalling 8,137 km in Calabar South and Municipality. He also flagged off the first phase of distributing Handheld Tiller Machines to Farmers.

Similarly, the NDDC commissioned its new State Office Complex in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, on June 18, 2025.

A day earlier, the Commission had inaugurated the Renewed Hope Multi-Purpose Training Centre in Otuokpoti, Ogbia Local Government Area, Bayelsa State.

Recall that between May 18 and May 28, 2024, the NDDC commissioned five impactful projects in Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Edo, and Ondo states, covering roads, bridges, and electricity projects.

The projects are as follows: The 9km Obehie-Oke-Ikpe road in Ukwa West LGA, Abia State; the 25.7 kilometre Ogbia -Nembe Road in Bayelsa State; the 1×15MVA 33/11KV electricity injection substation in Amufi, Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area in Benin City, Edo State; the 45km double-circuit 33KV feeder line from Omotosho Power Station to Okitipupa, Ondo State and the NDDC 6km Iko-Atabrikang-Akata-Opulom-Ikot Inwang-Okoroutip-Iwochang Road and 600m Ibeno Bridge in Ibeno LGA, Akwa Ibom State.

Currently, the Commission is working round the clock to deliver other legacy projects like the 1.2 km Kaa-Ataba Bridge linking Khana and Andoni local Government Areas of Rivers State; the Okirika-Borikiri Bridge; the regional specialist hospitals in Ikom, Cross River State and port Harcourt; the Bonny Ring Road in Rivers State; the Road Linking Rivers and Abia States, Including the Ikaa Bridge in Akwa Ibom.

Unfortunately, Sahara Reporters has chosen the path of falsehood, publishing unverified allegations, recycling rumours, and undermining progress. But the Niger Delta decides the path of development.

We urge the public to disregard the malicious publication and instead focus on the Commission's numerous achievements and initiatives that have had a positive impact on the region.

Lagos, Nigeria – The Palace of the Oba of Lagos has officially confirmed the ascension of Chief Lookman Bolaji Oluwa as the new Onisemo of Lagos, alongside three other White Cap Chiefs. The announcement marks a significant cultural milestone that reinforces the city’s enduring traditions and heritage.

The confirmation, issued under the authority of His Royal Majesty Oba Rilwan Babatunde Osuolale Aremu Akiolu I, was published in a Lagos State Government gazette.

Chief Oluwa’s elevation has been described as a symbolic return to the ancestral throne, placing him among the revered custodians of Lagos culture. As Onisemo, he carries the honour and responsibility of preserving traditions, strengthening community ties, and serving as a cultural bridge for the people of Isale Eko and Lagos Island.

In a congratulatory message, Ayoola R. Lawal Odunewu (O´LRA), former National Chairman of APC Scandinavia and ex-Secretary of the Committee of APC Diaspora Chairmen, hailed the development as historic and well-deserved.

“Chief Lookman Bolaji Oluwa’s ascension is not only a personal honour but also a blessing to our family, the people of Isale Eko, and Lagos as a whole. His reign will strengthen our cultural heritage, unite the community, and inspire future generations,” Lawal-Odunewu said.

He further urged all branches of the Onisemo family, traditional leaders, elders, and the wider Lagos Island community to rally behind the new chief, stressing that his reign should symbolise peace, unity, and progress.

Lawal-Odunewu, a prominent APC diaspora chieftain, also reaffirmed his commitment to supporting Chief Oluwa in upholding the dignity of the office while contributing to social harmony and development across Lagos.

Observers note that the new Onisemo’s ascension underscores the enduring relevance of Lagos’s traditional institutions, which continue to complement modern governance by safeguarding identity, heritage, and unity.

Cultural historians have likewise praised the development as a reminder of Lagos’s deep-rooted traditions, which remain central to its identity as a cosmopolitan hub blending ancestral values with modern growth.

With his ascension, Chief Oluwa joins the distinguished ranks of Lagos’s traditional rulers, whose roles transcend ceremony to embody cultural pride and resilience for Lagosians at home and abroad.

Official Confirmation

The confirmation was contained in the Lagos State of Nigeria Official Gazette No. 25, Vol. 58, dated September 3, 2025, and formally released on September 13. The gazette carried the royal endorsement of His Royal Majesty, Oba Riliwanu Babatunde Osuolale Aremu Akiolu I.

According to the document, Chief Lookman Bolaji Oluwa was officially recognised as the Onisemo of Lagos, alongside other White Cap Chiefs.

The gazette stated: “Notification of the official release of the Lagos State of Nigeria Official Gazette No. 25, Vol. 58, dated 3rd September 2025, which recognises and confirms your respective chieftaincy.”

On August 19, the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Samuel Ogbuku, turned 50. A milestone. For a man of his status, you would expect a birthday bash complete with the dainties of vanity. And why not?

A golden jubilee for a man of undeniable accomplishments deserves a festoon of golden confetti in Dubai, the Caribbean or any of the exotic offshore getaways.

But not Ogbuku. He chose a different path. A path of value, decorum, and compassionate reflection on humanity especially on the well-being of the Niger Delta region.

A true born of the region, precisely of the Ogbia ancestry in Bayelsa state, Ogbuku was raised to cherish value, integrity and uphold the dignity of his family tree, a family that through the ages has endured as an emblem of honour and veracity.

So, rather than get drowned in the fountain of merriment and high spirit of splash and dash as some persons are wont, Ogbuku chose sobriety. He embraced scholarship and intellectual exegesis.

He chose the occasion of the birthday memorial to unveil two books that not only provide a veritable inquisition into the past and struggles of the Niger Delta people but also offers a reliable and feasible roadmap to the birthing of a prosperous future for the region.
The birthday coursed through Abuja to Port Harcourt before hitting home in Bayelsa.

A tripodal trail, each event and venue symbolizing the essence of his life and the office he occupies. In Abuja, two critical books were unveiled: Strategies & Imperatives for Developing the Niger Delta; and Rethinking the Niger Delta: Thoughts and Writings.

Both books empirically reflect Ogbuku’s character and commitment to thought leadership even as they offer nuggets to sustainable development of the Niger Delta.

The book presentation ceremony turned out most expectedly an intellectual fellowship, epitomizing the inclination of the NDDC boss to critical thinking, strategic visioning and cerebral value system.

Then, there was an anniversary dinner in Port Harcourt, the headquarters of NDDC. The dinner, typical of Ogbuku, had all the trappings of decorum, moderation with noticeable sprinkling of refined elegance.

It was a dignified gathering of family members, friends, colleagues and a coterie of stakeholders who came to honour a life of service to humanity and a man who trades with virtue as his currency.

There was a defined spiritual dimension to the celebration underscored by a thanksgiving service at St. Mark’s Anglican Church, Ayakoro, Bayelsa State. The service was solemn, void of ecclesiastical charlatanry of any sort.

A moment he shared love with family members and people of the local community.
The church component of the birthday was a show of gratitude to God by a man who always esteemed himself of low estate and never failed to acknowledge the fact that God, and only God, had been his shepherd, compass bearer and sustainer. Ogbuku is a man of faith.

His family has a deep history of religion rooted in Christianity. He has never shied away from his faith and confession in the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Attaining age 50 is a landmark. Doing so in good health makes your debt of gratitude to God even bigger. The three events; books presentation, dinner and thanksgiving are all expressions of value, not vainglory.

History is replete with thought leaders at various levels who marked their birthdays with book presentation. On September 17, just a few days away, India’s ruling party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) plans to mark the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a public presentation of a book chronicling the eventful life of the PM.

In Nigeria, distinguished public figures like former governor of Ogun state Aremo Segun Osoba; Senator Opeyemi Bamidele; former Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission and global finance expert, Arunma Oteh, among others had at various times marked their birthdays with book presentations. Before he became President of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, had often marked his birthday with a colloquium during which national issues were discussed.

Using the occasion of birthday to unveil books or hold public discourses is not only an act of civility, it is a way of intellectualizing the public space and sharing valuable lessons on the demands of leadership, statecraft and citizenship.

This is the path that Ogbuku, a man with a strong predilection to scholarship and intellectual activism, chose. His books are special treasure troves of ideas.

They courageously curated what was, what is and what would become of the Niger Delta region if the lofty standard of leadership he has engendered at NDDC coupled with the right mix of leadership in the states are sustained.

The books elicit hope, not gloom and doom. They are firsts of their kind. Historical, contemporary and futuristic. Ogbuku deserves best wishes not a campaign to paint him and the birthday celebration in delusory dark tar.

Any wonder that President Tinubu showered the kindest words on him in his birthday message to the visionary NDDC helmsman.

The President noted NDDC’s efforts under Ogbuku in infrastructure development and interventions in health, agriculture, and environmental remediation even as he prayed for his “continued good health, wisdom, and many more years of impactful service to the nation.”

The President’s charge at the book presentation sums it up: “Turning 50 is a golden milestone; it’s a time for gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose. In Dr. Ogbuku’s case, we celebrate not just the years but a life of service, scholarship, and impactful leadership.”

All of this has put a lie to the mischievously conjured tales of a non-existent after-party where obscene wealth or any form of showy adulation for lucre were displayed.

The three events that hallmarked his birthday are well documented. And they are noble exertions managed within the limits of decency and moderation. Any other activity only exists in the minds of those who have never hidden their agenda to oust Ogbuku and return NDDC to its inglorious past.

Ogbuku deserves to be celebrated, not condemned, for the bold reforms he has brought into NDDC operations, wheeling the interventionist agency from ‘transaction to transformation.

’ Under his watch, there has been sustained peace in the region, increase in crude oil production and reinforced confidence of investors and stakeholders in the region.

A leader who has ensured more revenue for the nation, more infrastructure, improved healthcare, education, power, agriculture and active engagement of the once restive youths through empowerment among other totems of development, should be encouraged. He is highly ranked among public officials who are daily adding value to the Renewed Hope agenda of the President.
