Image
Akure Youth Coalition Calls for Immediate End to Killings, Strengthened Security The Àkúré Youths Coalition is deeply saddened, outraged, and gravely disturbed by the persistent killings and kidnappings in Akure North and South. Recent incidents in Imafon, Igushin, Ilado, Eleyowo, and surrounding communities have left families devastated and communities living in fear. In Igushin community, gunmen attacked a poultry farm, killing a mother and her daughter, while others were abducted. Similar attacks and attempted abductions have been reported in Ilado and Imafon, triggering widespread protests by residents who can no longer endure the recurring violence. These incidents are not isolated. They represent a dangerous pattern of insecurity that continues to spread across Akure North and South, disrupting livelihoods, displacing families, and eroding confidence in the safety of our communities. We unequivocally condemn, in the strongest possible terms, these injurious, barbaric, and sensele...

PRESS STATEMENT Hon. Olakusibe Morakinyo Obayan Clarifies Intentions, Reaffirms Commitment to the People of Akoko The attention of the campaign organization of Hon. Olakusibe Morakinyo Obayan has been drawn to certain speculations circulating within Akoko North East/Akoko North West Federal Constituency suggesting that his aspiration for the House of Representatives is being influenced, sponsored, or orchestrated by undisclosed political figures with a preconceived plan to step down for another candidate.

Obayan’s candidacy. Hon.

ONDO PROGRESSIVE STAKEHOLDERS FUMED OVER FASANRANTI'S ENDORSEMENTS

Image
ONDO PROGRESSIVE STAKEHOLDERS FUMED OVER FASANRANTI'S ENDORSEMENTS The attention of the good people of Ondo Central Senatorial District has been drawn to the recent endorsement by Tayo Alasoadura of Dr. Taiwo Fasoranti for the 2027 senatorial race. Ordinarily, such endorsements would deserve little or no response. However, given the clear undertone of political resentment and revisionism embedded in this move, it has become necessary to set the record straight. Let it be stated unequivocally that this endorsement is not driven by the collective interest of the people, but by personal disappointment arising from a resounding electoral defeat. The emergence of  Sen. Adeniyi Adegbomire marked a decisive rejection by the people of Ondo Central of an era characterized by underwhelming representation and limited impact. Since assuming office, Senator Adegbomire has not only redefined representation but has raised the bar to levels the district has not witnessed in years. His performance ...

Death by Law, Leniency by Courts: Nigeria’s Bloody Paradox

Image
Standfirst: The law prescribes death. Courts prescribe leniency. Nigerians pay with blood. Rejoinder: Court Jails 386 Terrorists in Four Days Is No Victory — Instant Execution for Captured Terrorists Is the Only Signal That Government Means Business By Mike Olatunji Writes from Lagos Opening The Nigerian judiciary never ceases to amaze us with its convoluted judgments. Sometime last year or two years ago, one of our respected judges was kidnapped and later released. Legal luminary Professor Mike Ozekhome, SAN, was also kidnapped and released. Yet the judiciary continues to grant these dreaded groups freedom disguised as prison sentences, refusing to learn from experience. Can any citizens from Plateau, Katsina, or Benue states—whose people have been massacred by these faceless terrorists—become a judge today and forgive terrorists brought before his court? The answer is a categorical no. Since the law already prescribes the death sentence, why impose imprisonment? The Law Prescribes De...

How Gov Aiyedatiwa Ditched Makinde for Fashoranti ; As ADEGBONMIRE Remains Ondo Central Champion. It was a twist of fate over the weekend, like someone abandoning a plan or skipping school work , as his excellency Gov Lucky Ayedatiwa dropped a bombshell in his camp that left a lasting taint on his 18-0 DG. His excellency had visited APC party leaders in Abuja to discuss about the party’s candidates in the forthcoming general election. All party leaders agreed on Consensus.  When it’s turn of Ondo senatorial district to be discussed, Gov Lucky mentioned Hon Makinde’s name as his candidate. He was told right there that they did not know him “who is Makinde”? They asked, the governor was speechless for a while as if some nerves stooped working, that the party will be returning Senator Adeniyi Adegbonmire for second term. The governor was flabbergasted, perplexed and shocked at the same time. In his bewildered state, rather than working with the present senator, at least give it a try ...
