Announcement Of Fake LG Election Results: Oyo APC Have Exposed The Ostrich In Olagunju. April 27 have come and gone. Olagunju has finished acting the script of his tragi-comedy called Local Government Election. The drums of shame have been beaten and the dance of shame have climaxed in the announcement of some 33 clowns who will want to continue the mindless plundering of Oyo state resources as proxies for the drummer. The role played by Olagunju in this show of shame is the talking point which will not go away for a long time. That the Senior Advocate will be…

The enchanter recited the incantation with utmost fury: “River Niger and River Benue, the confluence is in Kogi State.

On Thursday last week, I had just arrived in Enugu for the funerals of Ezinne Margaret Nebechi Nwomeh of Ozalla in Enugu state when another news of demise hopped in like a demonic apparition. Big brother and friend, Ayogu Eze, senator who represented Enugu North, had passed on. I met Eze 21 years ago there in Enugu. Once the commissioner for information in the first term, I felt it a great honour to serve with him in the state. Blessed with a gift of the garb, Eze was detribalised in every sense. Perhaps resulting from his matrimony to a woman…
As each day passes and we approached the April 27 Local Government Election in Oyo state, I knew Aare Isiaka Olagunju’s day of reckoning was near. He was fortunate in 2021 when he presided over his first Local Government Election as Chairman of OYSIEC. In 2021, the main opposition political party, the APC boycotted the Local Government Election for reason of having a matter It was pursuing in Court and which Its participation in the election would have prejudiced. The Chairman of OYSIEC, in 2021 had no hassles in brushing aside the efforts of the Labour Party and the Zenith…
From reports available to us, what is presently going on in Oyo state is not an election, it is a script, written and submitted to the Chairman of the supposed State ” Independent” Electoral Commission, Aare Isiaka Olaguju by the Governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde. Some days ago, the drumbeat started in Ido where the Governor was waxing lyricals about ” tiwon and tiwa”. Governor Makinde on the occassion sang a song about how this is his and PDP’s time to annexe the 33 Local Governments. “Tiwa naa lo de e I fara moo, igba ti tiyin de e…
This is the eve of Local Government Election in Oyo state. Already, the PDP and OYSIEC Local Government Electoral Officers across the 33 Local Governments have started acting a similar script. They have been preventing the APC from inspecting sensitive materials. In Ibarapa Central for example, the OYSIEC EO specifically told the APC that the materials he got from Ibadan Ibadan could not be inspected until 8pm because the ones he got are short of expectation. In Kajola, Oorelope and other Local Governments, there have been one issues or the other. In Ibarapa East, it is an issue of repeating…
It has come to our notice that some mischief makers within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Oyo state have issued a fake release in the name of our state PRO, Alhaji Olawale Sadare wherein it was stated that the APC will not be participating in tomorrow’s Local Government Election. We are by this release denying the content of such cheap blackmail. The All Progressives Congress, APC will participate in the Local Government Election and we are poised to win a landslide. The mischief of the PDP is a confirmation of fear and panic which is brought upon them by…
When the day breaks on Saturday, April 27, it will be D-Day. The Oyo state Independent Electoral Commission, OYSIEC, will be called to duty. A Local Government Election unlike any that have been conducted by past leadership of the Commission will be on the card. On the day, Aare Isiaka Olaguju SAN, and other Commissioners of OYSIEC shall be on world radar. Honestly, I do not envy the Senior Advocate of Nigeria. Everything about what he has built in terms of integrity shall be at stake. The participation of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the main opposition political party in…
Local Government Election will take place in Oyo state on Saturday 27 April, 2024. Both the ruling party, the PDP and the main opposition party, the APC have intensified their campaign to ensure that they come out victorious. This election mean so much to the two political parties. For Governor Seyi Makinde, he will not only want to deliver so as to retain the bragging right over the APC, he will most importantly want to maintain the status quo that enables him to combine running the affairs of the state and that of the Local Governments. Governor Makinde have never…
