 The Ademola Adeleke Campaign Organisation has dismissed recent claims by Senator Ajibola Bashiru as misleading, insisting that verifiable data from both local and federal agencies clearly shows that Governor Ademola Adeleke has delivered measurable progress across critical sectors in Osun State. The organisation described Bashiru’s remarks alleging failure in key areas such as education and the economy as unfounded, noting that such comments emerged from what it termed internal challenges within the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC). According to the campaign, the Adeleke administration inherited a state grappling with nearly 80 percent infrastructure deficit in 2022. However, updated reports as of late 2025 indicate that this deficit has been reduced by over 40 percent, driven by aggressive infrastructure development. The government is credited with constructing over 350 kilometers of roads, alongside three flyover bridges, and multiple ongoing dualisation projects acros...

 Social media has been buzzing with playful reactions following the latest development surrounding Victor Osimhen, with some fans jokingly claiming the Nigerian striker is “becoming a robot.” The comments come after reports that the forward, currently starring for Galatasaray, has been fitted with a carbon-fiber protective arm guard to aid his recovery and ensure he remains match-fit. While the device is strictly medical-designed to protect against impact and prevent further injury, its sleek, high-tech appearance has fueled online banter, with fans drawing comparisons to a cyborg or machine-like figure. This is not the first time Osimhen’s on-field appearance has sparked conversation. During his time at Napoli, he famously wore a protective face mask following a serious facial injury, an accessory that eventually became part of his identity and symbol of resilience. Now, with an added arm guard, social media users have combined both visuals to create a humorous narrative: a strike...

Oriontimes Political Desk| April 11, 2026  The Ademola Adeleke Campaign Organisation has issued a stern warning to Gboyega Oyetola and Bola Oyebamiji, urging them to respect the will of the Osun electorate ahead of the August 15 governorship election. The campaign said it had uncovered what it described as “leaked threats” by some top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), allegedly plotting to incite post-election chaos should Governor Ademola Adeleke secure victory at the polls. According to the organisation, the alleged conversation among APC leaders reflects both internal frustration and an admission that Adeleke is poised to win the election by a margin exceeding 200,000 votes. While acknowledging what it termed the “electoral anxiety” within APC ranks, the campaign condemned any attempt to undermine the democratic process, warning against what it described as a “dangerous descent into political delusion.” The statement further challenged Oyetola and Oyebamiji to acce...

 Oriontimes International Desk| April 10, 2026 As the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) marks its 50th anniversary, renewed calls have emerged for deeper commitment to constitutional governance and democratic stability across the West African sub-region.
