BREAKING: Makinde Orders Upward Review of Councilors Salary, To Now Get 350k Per Month – Govt Source







A source within government circle who craved indulgence to speak on condition of anonymity today confirmed to Sunrisebulletin.com that ward Councilors across the 33 Local Government Areas in Oyo state will soon start to receive increased monthly salary.

According to the source, Governor Seyi Makinde has directed that the current monthly salary structure of a councilor which is about N108,000 (one hundred and eight thousand naira) per month should be immediately reviewed upward.

The proposed review of the new monthly salary as directed by the Governor is about N350,00 (three hundred and fifty thousand naira).

Oyo APC Crisis: Bayo Adelabu May Join Force Makinde If...APC Source Reveals






Following the unabated crisis rocking the Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a source within the Bayo Adelabu's camp who craved to speak anonymously has hinted that the 2019 governorship candidate of the opposition party may join force with Seyi Makinde ahead of the 2023 general election.

The source claimed Adelabu otherwise called 'penkelemes' has invested so much in the party for him to be subjected to what was described as ridicule within the opposition party in the state saying that the PDP bloc within the opposition party will not be allowed to take over the party structure as 2023 approaches.

According to the source who claimed to be a die-hard supporter of Adelabu, the current situation in Oyo APC has clearly shown what those tagged 'PDP bloc' planned on doing with the opposition party saying that if presented with the right offers by Seyi Makinde, Adelabu may team up with the Governor.

Asked what the right offers could be, the source maintained that nothing can be ruled out as far as politics is concerned noting that since Seyi Makinde has only one term left by right and constitutionally after his first tenure, the right offer on the table may trigger a move away from the crisis ridden APC.

The source queried why the new chairman of Oyo APC, Isaac Omodewu, who was a former Commissioner was sworn-in by the national body despite the glaring irregularities and crisis that emanated from the party's state congress stressing that the outcome of the state congress has made matters worse for the Oyo APC.

The source however, added that expressing the possibility of Adelabu's move to the PDP was a personal view based on current political turn of events in the state since Isaac Omodewu got sworn in as the elected chairman of the opposition party.

"I really don't want to talk about this untill our 'oga' (Adelabu) decides on what next to do we are his followers and whatever he wants to do we are with him but you know this is politics, you can not rule out anything. Adelabu's possible move away from APC to advance his political ambition is also a strong possibility.

"Either it will be to team up with Governor Makinde or a move to another party, I can't tell for now, we're watching how events continue to unfold but I'm sure if Senator Teslim Folarin and his people are bent on the path they have taken then you know of course that our oga' will do something about it.

"I don't want to talk more about it so that you journalists will not turn it to something else, you wait, at the appropriate time the whole worls will know where we are going." The source said.

Deji Adeyanju Sponsored Attack On Seyi Makinde: By Omolere Omoetan

The political season is upon us, people ! Brace yourselves to see different characters of jesters, trouble makers, mischief makers and what have you. These folks will fight tooth and nail to outdo themselves for different reasons, mostly pecuniary, and some just to shove themselves in our face with their nuisance factor. It was indeed amusing to see a certain Deji Adeyanju getting in on the act recently, targeting the Oyo State Governor, His Excellency, Engr Seyi Makinde. It was also quite ridiculous as this article will show.

For starters, Deji Adeyanju, in his own words, claimed that he was in Ibadan for a day or two and in that amount of time, the man came to the shocking conclusion that there was "Zero Governance" in Oyo state. Pray tell, how can any sane human come to such a conclusion with such a short visit ? It was very ridiculous to say the least. It is obvious that Adeyanju is totally off his rocker with this submission.

If there was any doubt that the young man is disturbed and going through a difficult period at the moment, such has been cleared with this recent rants by a largely jobless plebian seeking the attention of a noble.

It is indeed in Mr. Adeyanju's character to be a fly in the ointment. However, he has taken on a wrong target this time. If he thought that by spewing rubbish he would get attention of Governor Seyi Makinde, then he is greatly mistaken. Few people in Oyo state would care about what he has to say. Majority of Oyo people can see what the governor has been able to achieve in just under three years in office. No one, let alone an internet pseudo-comrade, can rubbish their beloved governor's scorecard of achievements.

We will school Mr. Adeyanju, as he does not know that Makinde has been able to construct over 100 kilometers of roads in the state. He does not know that the hitherto intractable issues bedevilling the Ladoke Akintola University, whereby students stayed at home for close to 20 months have been resolved by the governor. He also does not know that over 300 hospitals and health care centers have been built or renovated across the state. In the area of security, Adeyanju did not know that over 100 vehicles and security gadgets were purchased for security agencies in the state. Mr Adeyanju a.k.a "I too Know" is not aware that free education obtains in Oyo state. But then, how would a paid agent of destabilization know that Oyo state is among the few states in the country that has paid her UBEC counterpart funds ? There's the " Light up Oyo" project; if Adeyanju did not notice how this has opened up the night economy, then the man is blind both figuratively and physically! Would he know that Oyo state pensioners and workers are pleased with the governor ? He wouldn't know of course.

Perhaps we should take a look at who the Deji Adeyanju fellow is. Exactly what does he do for a living ? He claims to be a lawyer, when was the last time he defended anyone in court, he should tell us how he earns a living, How has he impacted humanity positively ? He claims to be a comrade and an activist, but he is more of a "Cashtivist" open to the highest bidder, and we ask what sort of comrade is he ? He's obviously one that goes about attacking high profile people with the hope that crumbs will be thrown his way Perhaps, he has been paid by Makinde's political opponents to malign him. Whatever the case might be, I am sure by the reaction that he has gotten thus far from residents of the state, he would have realized that he has made a blunder by attacking the governor.

I am sure it is obvious to him, by now, that his poorly-fed dog is barking up the wrong tree. The truth is that Deji Adeyanju is a classical example of the "Lazy Youth" that the president, Muhammadu Buhari, was referring to in that infamous interview. An inconsequential entity seeking relevance by heckling persons way ahead of him.

One can hazard a guess as to why Adeyanju is towing this perfidious path. It is apparent that he was recruited by the opposition to throw shades at the people's governor, hiding under the guise of altruism.

I will counsel Mr Adeyanju to get a proper job, and make his mother proud. He is fast taking a wrong turn and is now close to the precipice.

Mr. Adeyanju is a political mercenary and a " Cashtivist" who should never be taken seriously.

Omolere Omoetan.

“Aggrieved Members Now Know Where The Party Structure Is” –Makinde, Charges Oyo PDP Excos On True Reconciliation







Oyo State Governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, on Tuesday said aggrieved members of the party now know where the party structure is in the state, charging the new executive committe of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state to reconcile all aggrieved members and unify the party’s structure ahead of the 2023 general election.

Makinde, who stated this at the Executive Council Chamber of his office, while receiving the new executive committee members who visited him, urged the party’s executive committee to be fair and just to all members.

He said: “I think by now, even the aggrieved members know where the party structure is. But we are not going to say they should go away as we also have to reach out to them. When the general populace pushed us to get ourselves organised that they will vote PDP, even some of our members did not believe it would work.

“We said something to ourselves that we may have a disagreement because there will always be disagreement in every human interaction. But what we are saying is that even if we have a disagreement, let us get ourselves together to get power and then those disagreements will go to the Government House where we will all settle it.

“And today, we are here in the Exco Chamber. Yes, we may not be able to satisfy everybody. Anytime we have challenges with anybody, let them bring those things to the table and we’ll fix it.

“We are lucky in Oyo State. Today, the Deputy National Chairman (South) of the party is from Oyo State. So, there is a channel to reach the very top decision-makers.

“So, I want to promise you that everything we are supposed to work out to ensure that the party structure is well oiled and maintained, will be done.

“Everything that we have to do in terms of providing logistics and incentives will get to you. We are the ones at the state level but anything we are doing must get to the grassroots level because those are the people that will interface with the general populace.

“We are drinking from the PDP well and it is my prayer that others will also drink from the same well. So, that is why we must not pollute the well no matter how angry we may be. And I am sure that all the things each and every one of us is expecting will get to us.

“Another issue the chairman raised is about the party and government being on the same page because where we normally have the beginning of failure is when people are facing different directions unknowingly.

“As the leadership and administrator of the party in Oyo State, we must have the commitment to be fair and just to all the party members and even to those that claimed to be aggrieved. Once you bring them to the fold, deal with everybody as one. Let us try our best to do all we need to do and leave the rest for God.”

Earlier in his remarks, the newly elected state Chairman, Hon. Dayo Ogungbenro, appreciated the governor for hosting members of the new executive committee.

CultureIle-ife Is Owned By My Ancestors – Olugbo Of Ugbo Kingdom by Rockyheight(op): 7:46pm On Nov 16, 2021
Ile-Ife Is Owned By My Ancestors – Olugbo Of Ugbo Kingdom







His Imperial Majesty, Oba(Dr) Frederick Akinruntan(Okoro Ajiga 1), The Olugbo of Ugboland, Ondo State has said that the ancient city of Ile Ife in Osun State is owned by his forefathers.

The monarch made the assertion while addressing some members of Southwest Group of Online Publishers (SWEGOP) who were on a courtesy visit to his palace.

Oba Akinruntan reiterated that his ancestors were the original settlers and aboriginal owners of the ancient city which is known as the cradle of Yoruba race, before migrating to the coastal area of Ondo State. He said their migration was based on the directive by Ifa and Osanyin that the land of the ancient city was barren.

Revealing more facts about Ugbo Kingdom, Akinruntan said,” it is a notorious fact that Oduduwa came as a stranger to Ile Ife. Oduduwa met sixteen communities in Ile Ife out of which thirteen have been identified in present day Ile Ife, and the aborigines are still very much in these communities, being active and holding principal roles in the day to day affairs of Ile Ife today.

” It is equally clear that he met these communities who had their kings that wore beaded crowns already in confederacy under the Paramount Ruler(Osangangan Obamakin), the existing communities in ancient Ile Ife, originally called Ugbomokun which had an established monarchical system of kingship as well as culture, customs and traditions regarding all faces of life including marriage, agriculture, worship, justice, security, parenting, commerce and others, under the leadership of Osangangan Obamakin(the son of Oranfe).”

He added, “Osangan Obamakin received Oduduwa into Ile Ife, and gave him residences as well as farmlands to cultivate. The elders in Ile Ife today still affirm that Oduduwa was a regular visitor to Ilero(Ile Apero), the palace of Osangangan Obamakin, which is still in existence today in Ile Ife, along Iremo road, and the aboriginal palace is unanimously adjudged by the elders of Ile Ife today as the Oldest Assembly In Yorubaland.

” Oduduwa was a likeable man, and was welcomed by Osangangan Obamakin but in time, dynastic wars began between Oduduwa and Obatala which eventually led to the defeat of Obatala in his Idita community, and sparked off series of events that have shaped history till this day.

“The Ugbo-Ilaje are direct descendants of Osangangan Obamakin whose dynasty founded Ile Ife, and reigned as the aboriginal Paramount Ruler of ancient Ile Ife which was known at the time as Igbomokun(Ugbomokun). He too was the son Oranfe who is recorded to be half man and half spirit, and lived on the hills of Ora.

” The offsprings and siblings of Osangangan Obamakin included Obalufon, Ojoyin, Alawo, Obawinrin, Obariyun, Owajan, Woyeasiri, Obarena, Obalara, Lowagbafin, and Baba Sigidi to mention but a few, in present day Ile Ife, there are existing quarters of Osangangan Obamakin where his direct descendants who are my kith and kin reside”.

“Oranfe, the father of Osangangan Obamakin, was mystified as a god and believed to have his palace built of fire both in heaven and his earthy abode on Ora hill in Ile Ife. That was why he was fondly referred to as Oranfe Onile Ori Oke.

“Oranfe was greatly revered and the entire spiritual paraphernalia that founded ancient Ugbomokun otherwise known as Ife Ooye or Ife Ooyelagbo was in the custody of Oranfe which included the dictates of the Oro Initiates as well as the powers of Ifa, the god of wisdom and divinity, after the ascension of Orunmila(the progenitor of IFA) from the earth.”

The Monarch maintained that the historical facts of Ugbo Kingdom as expatiated above can be found in the article entitled “A History of The Oldest Throne In Yorubaland,” By His Imperial Majesty Oghonne, Oba(Dr.) F.E.O. Akinruntan CON, FICA, FNIM and ODU: A Journal of West African Studies, New Series NO 46 July, 2015, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State, Nigeria.

Oba Akinruntan also explained that he has no link or historical ties with the Igbo despite sharing border with each other, stressing that people have been mistakenly pronouncing his Ugbo as Igbo.

He said that Igbo and its origin could be traced to East, while he, as the paramount ruler of Ugbo kingdom is from Southwest, geopolitical zone of Nigeria.

The Olugbo of Ugboland maintained that he has every fact regarding his claim about Ile-Ife and Ugbo kingdoms. He challenged anyone with contrary opinion to come out and contradict his facts.

PoliticsPDP Will Go Ahead With National Convention- Makinde by Rockyheight(op): 9:57pm On Oct 24, 2021
PDP will Go Ahead With National Convention- Makinde
…says Party will not be distracted

Governor of Oyo State and Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention Organising Committee, ‘Seyi Makinde, has declared that the October 30 and 31 dates for the party’s National Convention remained unchanged despite attempts by some individuals to scuttle the programme.

He maintained that the National Executive Committee of the party acted in good faith by fixing the convention for the said date and not to witch-hunt any individual or truncated anyone’s mandate as being insinuated.
Makinde, in a statement signed on behalf of the National Convention Organising
Committee and made available to newsmen, said despite the action of some individuals to approach a Kaduna High Court in order to prevent the convention from holding, the party would not be distracted.
He charged members of the party across the country to ignore the antics of such individuals and focus on organising a national convention, which according to him, will prove to all Nigerians that the PDP remains the best option to rescue Nigeria.

He said: “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC) is using this medium to alert members of our party and members of the public that we are aware of the actions of a few misguided PDP members who have approached the High Court in Kaduna in an attempt to prevent our great party, the PDP from holding its National Convention on October 30 and 31, 2021.

“Notwithstanding their right to approach a court of competent jurisdiction to air their grievances, we maintain that the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the PDP has acted in good faith in fixing our convention for October 30 and 31. It is not meant to witch-hunt anyone or to truncate anyone’s mandate.
“Therefore, we call on all members and supporters of the PDP to ignore this distraction as we prepare to host a convention that will send a clear signal to Nigerians that the PDP is the only party that has the will and the might to rescue Nigeria from the catastrophe that we have been enduring for the past six years.”

According to Governor Makinde, some forces trying to divide the party were behind the latest attempts to stop the convention.
He urged PDP members to keep the faith, stating that the party is taking all necessary measures to ensure that its focus is not derailed, adding that the party will do everything possible to strengthen its structure and put in the efforts needed to unite the county and restore its glory.

“We are aware that a clearly united PDP is a threat to the forces that seek to divide us. Therefore, we urge our teeming supporters nationwide to keep the faith as we are taking all necessary measures to ensure that we will not be distracted from our goal.

“We are determined to strengthen our party structure and put in the work needed to unify and restore our great nation back on the path to economic prosperity and greatness.
“We therefore urge all party faithful to continue to rally support as we prepare to host our National Convention on October 30 and 31, 2021.”

No Supporter, Follower Should Lose His/Her life Supporting Politicians – Oyo Gov, Makinde








Oyo State Governor, 'Seyi Makinde, on Saturday, reiterated his belief in politics without bitterness, warning that no one should lose his life supporting politicians.

Makinde, who stated this at the wedding ceremony of one of the sons of former Ekiti State governor and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Ayo Fayose, held in Lagos, charged individuals fighting over politics and religion to have a rethink, as, according to him, none of the two is worth losing one's life fighting over.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, quoted the governor as further saying that whatever happened between him and Fayose has already been put behind them.

Makinde, who congratulated the Fayose and Abdul families on the occasion of their children's wedding, prayed for a blessed union for the new couple.

He equally pointed out how the wedding, apart from bringing together politicians including the governor of Rivers State, Barr. Nyesom Wike, among others, had also broken the religious barrier, as a Christian and a Muslim family allowed the solemnisation of matrimony between their children.

Makinde said: "I want to congratulate Olamide and Oluwalonigba.  This is the beginning of a journey and I pray that it will produce male and female children.

"Both of you have come together today to become one and God will be with you till eternity. Now that you have come together to become one, harmonise your dreams.

"I want to believe that you saw me join the Ekiti people when they were told to ask for their wife. I stood up and came with them."

Makinde, who urged politicians to play politics devoid of violence or disharmony, said as the country moves towards 2023, politicians must learn that politics is not worth losing one's life over.

He added: "If you look at the former governors in Ekiti State - Governor Segun Oni, Governor Ayo Fayose and the incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi, they have governed the state at one time or the other but they were not in the same party. So, those of you who want to die because of us politicians, be careful.

"Politics is not something that should cause anybody to lose his or her life. We are moving towards the electioneering period, and I just want to use this opportunity to appeal to you all.

"If you also look at this marriage, the bride and groom are from Christian and Muslim families. So, people who also want to always fight on religious grounds should have a rethink."

Governor Makinde also reiterated the view he expressed on Channel TV's Politics Today, that he and former Governor Fayose have put their differences behind them, saying: "Whatever happened between us before now is in the past."

And to think Dangote is already calling on the Governnent to restrict importation of fuel to only people with refining licence.The sad reality is that he will get it . And am so sure that he will buy crude in Naira and sell to Nigerians in dollars. He is very unscrupulous. I have always thought that Dangote has nothing to teach the youth when it comes to business. Any fool will succeed when they get the kind of waivers privileges, and patronage he gets from government.
PoliticsI Have No Rift With Seyi Makinde, Olaniyan Oyo Deputy Governor by Rockyheight(op): 10:42pm On Jan 13, 2021
have No Rift With Governor Seyi Makinde Sahara Reporters Claim Baseless:Olaniyan Deputy Governor Oyo State.


Engr. Raufu Olaniyan, Deputy Governor of Oyo State, has described a report by Sahara Reporters headlined " Governor Makinde's Deputy, Olaniyan Has Vowed Never To End Rift With His Boss" as not only baseless, but a figment of the author's imagination.


Engr. Olaniyan, who spoke in a statement signed by Mr. Omolere Omoetan, his Senior Special Assistant on Media, said that he had no rift with the governor. He added that even if there was, as a true Muslim, he would seek for resolution and not take a stand that was contrary to common sense as reported by Sahara Reporters.


The Deputy Governor remarked that he has a mandate to work with His Excellency, Engr Seyi Makinde, Governor of Oyo State, to serve the people of Oyo State as the Deputy Governor. He said he is totally committed to doing so and would not be distracted by reports emanating from shady sources and mischief makers.


The number two man in Oyo state urged the people to disregard the statement attributed to him by the phantom source quoted in the malicious report by Sahara reporters who, in recent times, has become notorious in the propagation of fake news.


Engr. Olaniyan stressed, for the avoidance of doubt, that he would continue to work assiduously with His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde, to provide good governance to the people in line with governor's ideals and vision.


Lastly, he advised the forces working to cause disaffection between him and the governor to look for better things to do as their machinations and conspiracies have failed on arrival.

THE POLITICS OF REPORTING ÀMỌ̀TẸ́KÙ


Today, the South West Security Network codenamed Àmọ̀tẹ́kún is said to have gunned down a number of criminals terrorizing Ibarapa axis of Ọ̀yọ́ state in a gun duel that lasted several hours. The security personnel also sustained various injuries and it is likely some of them have paid the supreme price.

However, report of the activities of Àmọ̀tẹ́kún by national dailies recently left a lot of questions in the heart of discerning mind. Àmọ̀tẹ́kún were reported by some dailies to have killed Fulani herdsmen and not criminals. This is how the fourth estate of the realm help fan embers of war and discord.

The fact remains that Àmọ̀tẹ́kún was created to fight criminals and not because of a particular ethnic group as newspapers have been painting it. The UI student alleged to have been shot by Àmọ̀tẹ́kún is not a Fulani. Thugs recently fought by the security outfit in Ibadan were not Fulani but Yoruba.

Saying Àmọ̀tẹ́kún killed some bandits in Ibarapa today should have been the best way to report the incident and not that they killed some ethnic groups. I can still remember how Yoruba people were spraying money on a Fulani/Bororo boy singing Fuji music around World Oil Petrol Station around Iwo Road in Ibadan few years back. That is who we are; we are accommodating to any tribe that is not criminally minded.

Let those who want to paint Àmọ̀tẹ́kún bad remember that even though their agenda was to kill Àmọ̀tẹ́kún and foster spirit of the Nigeria nationhood, what they are saying could also fan ethnic clash and genocide. Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn is not against Nigeria unity, it was created to secure southwest from rising crime of banditry, farm destruction, rape of rural women, kidnapping, armed robbery and proliferation of arms.

Crime is crime irrespective of who committed it and the security operative is charged with fighting crime, not Fulani herdsmen.

If an ethnic group is known for a particular crime, fighting criminals among them is not fighting the ethnic group. Let us be careful of how we report issues like this.

Goodluck lost comfortably, what do you expect him to do, continue.

Goodluck is not a hero, he did what he is suppose to do concede.

Trump on the other hand was rigged out in the night in Democrats controlled cities, an organized coup.

First he was impeached by the democratic controlled house of rep but they got him with their postal ballot and scamcovid from China.

HATE HIM OR LOVE HIM, TRUMP HAS DONE MORE FOR BLACK PEOPLE THAN ANY OTHER AMERICAN PRESIDENT. BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WAS THE LOWEST, AN HISTORIC LOW UNTIL SCAMCOVID

PoliticsOyo Govt To Give 7,000 Appointment Letters To Teaching And Non Teaching Staff by Rockyheight(op): 9:29pm On Jan 05, 2021
The Oyo State Government has commended the Federal Government initiative for establishment of the Extended Special Public Works(ESPW) programme, aimed at addressing unemployment challenges facing the country.

Speaking on behalf of Oyo state governor, the Deputy Governor, Engr Rauf Olaniyan, gave the commendation on Tuesday, during the flag off of the programme in the state, held at Akinyele Local Government Secretariat, Moniya, Ibadan.

Olaniyan explained that the ESPW programme was a direct move to arrest unemployment in the country, noting that the programme would go a long way in bringing succour to the living standard of the 1000 beneficiaries from Oyo state.



He stated that the programme would complement efforts of the state government in addressing the problem of unemployment in Oyo state.

He disclosed that the state government would soon give letters of appointment to 5,000 teachers and over 2,000 non teaching staff as permanent workers in the service of the state.

He added that new medical personnel would soon be offered letters of appointment too, apart from some lawyers that have been recruited as state counsel, ” all these are aiming to reduce the unemployment rate.

“So you will agree with me that this programme is actually complementing the effort of the state government in bringing unemployment in Oyo state to minimum level.”

He further commended members of the state committee for the smooth flag off of the programme, but however, expressed flaw in the selection process of the committee members, maintaining that the state government should be fully carried along.

According to him, only one slot was given to the state government out of nine slots, urging government to correct the lapses in the next phase of the programme.

He implored the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) to use performance indicator for the participants to be able to assess progress of the programme.

He also urged the beneficiaries to see the programme as an opportunity to contribute their quota to the nation’s building and also improve their living standards.

In his welcome address, Mr Festus Keyamo – the Minister of State, Ministry of Labour and Employment, said that ESPW was aimed at shielding the most vulnerable from the ravaging effects of COVID19 pandemic which include but not limited to, pervasive hunger, poverty, environmental degradation and joblessness.”

The Minister, who was represented at the occasion by Mr Olufemi Ajao, said the programme engaged 774,000 selected unemployed Nigerians across the 774 local government areas in the country.

He added that the programme which would last for three months; will provide the necessary economic palliatives to the 774,000 unemployed youths.

He further disclosed that the Federal Government would closely monitor the implementation of the programme to ascertain the efficient utilisation of every resource, human/materials, committed to the programme.

On his part, the Director General of NDE, Mallam Nuhu Fikpo, whose address was read by the NDE coordinator in Oyo state; Mrs Olayinka Olayemi, charged every beneficiary of the programme to reciprocate the gesture of the President Mohammadu Buhari led Government, by diligently executing their assigned tasks throughout the duration of the programme.

Fikpo also requested Nigerians living within all the benefiting communities to cooperate with the participants and officials as they go about their duties.
