Now it's time to celebrate the voice we built together.


One Year of Giving Akure a Voice Worth Listening To

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.

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 ...

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.
