In his address at the occasion, Senator Adeola said his decision to leave Lagos State and come back to play politics in his ancestral home in Ogun State was one of the most difficult decisions he had taken in the interest of his people in Ogun West, noting however that his coming back home was made possible by Governor Dapo Abiodun and leaders across political party divides who have supported and encouraged him. He said he would continue to be grateful to Governor Abiodun for this gesture.


He assured the people of Ogun West that he was committed to promoting a robust politics of development that would bring about a major transformation in the socio-economic development of the area.


“The level of development about to happen, you have not witnessed or seen it before. This is the beginning of good things and new things to come. I therefore call on all my brothers across the divide to let us set aside whatever differences we might have and let us move Ogun West to the next level’, he said, adding; ‘my quest to return home or represent Ogun West is not to ridicule them or say they are nobody. I appreciate all their contributions over the years, but we must work together to move Ogun West forward”.


Presenting a goodwill message at the event, a chieftain of the party and Ogun State coordinator of the Tinubu Campaign Council on Grassroots Engagement and Orientation, Chief Wale Ohu said that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu has no doubt in Senator Adeola’s ability to perform well as a Senator in Ogun State adding that YAYI is one of the most cherished political sons of the APC Presidential candidate whose performance as a lawmaker in Lagos State has been very impressive.


“Ogun State and indeed Ogun West stand to gain immensely by ensuring that the APC wins at the Federal and State levels with YAYI emerging as one of the Senators to build on the foundation being built by Governor Dapo Abiodun in Ogun State”, he said. 

 

The Vice Director-General of the Ogun State APC Campaign Council from Ogun West, Chief Jide Ojuko said the State Council is happy with the level of campaign activities being executed by Senator Solomon Adeola and expressed the hope that this would be sustained until all the elections are won for the APC.

He said Senator Adeola has proved that he is and will continue to be a great asset to Ogun West and Ogun State even beyond 2023 and 2027. 


The APC House of Representatives candidate for Ado-odo/Ota Federal Constituency, Engr. Tunji Akinosi, who spoke on behalf of all the APC candidates in the Senatorial District said that they are all committed to ensuring that all the party’s candidates co-operate and work to ensure that Ogun West delivers nothing less than 300,000 thousand votes for the Presidential, Governorship and Senatorial Candidates of the party just as all the other candidates would be supported to win their respective seats.

After the inauguration of the YAYI Campaign Team, members of the team and party faithful in their thousands, including some members of the APC in Lagos West were treated to the New-Year Party organized annually by the Distinguished Senator; with two gospel singers, Tope Alabi and Laolu Gbenjo taking turns to entertain the Senator, his family and the guests.

Mr President’s misstep happened because he is human like all of us: No big deal

Agba'kin' Wale Junaid  It is pettiness taken to its apogee when I read Atiku Abubakar taunting our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, over his mild misstep while boarding a parade vehicle at the June 12 Democracy Day celebrations in Abuja earlier today.  Yes, Mr. President missed his steps while climbing into the truck at the June 12 Democracy Day celebration and tripped. Every Nigerian knows that Mr. President had a knee surgery sometimes in 2021 which may make him susceptible to missing his steps.  The most important thing is that Mr. President immediately went on with the ceremonial rounds and completed the activities for the day looking very fit, lively, hale and hearty. For Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to descend to such abyss clearly confirmed that his perpetual political misadventure has become an obsession looking for avenues for temporary media attention.  Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was alive when President Joe Biden of United State of America missed his step while boardin

A TALE OF THREE RULING HOUSES

In the town of Ariwoòdọlà, there are three families namely; Gbádéṣeré, Jọláadé and Wojúadé who are entitled to rule over the affairs of the town. The two (Gbádéṣeré and Jọláadé) out of the three ruling houses always struck deal between themselves which have paved the way for them to be rotating power on the basis of four and eight years respectively. All this while, they left out their third family aloof. For 48 years, the third family never knew the secret of the deal between the other two families and the matter became so worrisome for the family of Wojúadé. In a bid to find a solution to their marginalization at different times, the Wojúadé family members sought assistance from other two families. Unfortunately, some family members of the Wojúadé were approached by the other two who have been ruling to thwart the plan of the Wojúadés. Then, it became an issue of 'Ọmọ inú ọká ló ṣe ikú pa ọká' (in-house betrayal). Recently, the Elders of the Wojúadé family went on a deep

OGUN STATE 2024 LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION: TIME TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION

Image
Local Government is defined as a system of local administration under which local communities and towns which are organized to maintain law and order, provide some limited range of social services and public amenities and encourage the co-operation and participation of the inhabitants in joint endeavour towards the improvement of their living. The problems facing the local government in Nigeria are enormous. Administratively, officials of the local government have not shown quality in managing  resources of the local government. There have always been serious cases of mismanagement and corruption and these have threatened the viability and effectiveness  of the local government. Socially, the local government has become a  dumping ground for low quality staff with a very poor attitude to work. The career and political staff are lagging in their duties. Low quality councilors do not cope with law making functions and do not acquit themselves before the public. Economically, most of the
