Adegbonmire Clinches APC Senatorial Ticket for Ondo Central, Signals Fresh Chapter By Damilola Abe The Independent National Electoral Commission has officially confirmed Senator Adeniyi Ayodele Adegbonmire SAN as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the Ondo Central Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general election. The announcement, long awaited by supporters who have followed his political journey closely, formally ends months of positioning and puts him on the ballot as the party's standard bearer for the seat. For a man who has quietly built a reputation as a grassroots mobiliser and public servant, the confirmation carries weight beyond the paperwork. It validates years of engagement across the towns and communities that make up the Ondo Central axis, from Akure to the surrounding districts, where his name has become associated with consistent presence rather than election season visits alone. His victory reflects a candidacy built on structure and process ...

THE BIG BROTHER NAIJA PHENOMENON: A THREAT TO SOCIETAL VALUES By: Amb. Eki David Greg, MKO (08100247710) When the winds of change blow, some people build walls, while others build windmills." In the face of the Big Brother Naija (BBN) phenomenon, it's high time we assessed its impact on our society and decided whether to build walls of protection or windmills of indulgence. THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF BBN BBN has become a showcase for all sorts of negativity, promoting: 1.  Moral decay: Explicit content and behavior that can desensitize viewers to immoral acts. 2. Unhealthy competition: Emphasis on competition and conflict that can foster envy and quarrelsome behavior. 3. Lack of role models: Contestants' actions and attitudes that can shape young minds in a negative way. A CALL FOR ACTION "The future belongs to those who prepare for it today." It's time for our government, parents, religious leaders, academias, and activists to take a stand against programs lik...

TINUBU’S RE-ELECTION BID MAY SUFFER SETBACK IN ONDO STATE Fallout of Alleged Nepotism in the Ondo State Health Sector Growing discontent within the Ministry of health and Ondo State Primary Health Care (PHC) workforce could pose a political challenge for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in future elections, with some workers reportedly expressing dissatisfaction over what they describe as “naked nepotism” in the state’s health sector. Information circulating within the Ministry of Health and Ondo State PHC family suggests that some workers are prepared to mobilise their families, associates, patients and other eligible voters within their spheres of influence to vote against the APC in the next round of elections if their concerns are not addressed.

GOVR AIYEDATIWA ELIGIBILITY FOR ANOTHER TERM: "legal scholars must resist absolutist interpretations" Shola Elekan PUBLIC BRIEF: CLARIFYING GOVERNOR LUCKY AYEDATIWA'S ELIGIBILITY FOR ANOTHER TERM Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa In recent days, public discourse has intensified around the eligibility of His Excellency, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, to contest for another term as Governor of Ondo State. Some legal commentators have cited Section 182(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended by Act No. 10 of 2018), which provides: "A person who was sworn-in as Governor to complete the term for which another person was elected as Governor shall not be elected to such office for more than a single term." While this provision appears straightforward, it requires deeper constitutional, legal, and contextual analysis. Governor Aiyedatiwa was elected as Deputy Governor in 2020. Upon the death of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in 2023, he constitutionally succeeded to the go...
