In what appears to be Nigeria’s most dramatic “return on investment” complaint yet, a man on Thursday stormed the All Progressives Congress (APC) national secretariat in Abuja with a message as blunt as it was unsettling: reward me or kill me. The protest, captured in a now-viral video, shows the visibly distressed man holding a placard and demanding recognition for what he described as his personal sacrifices during the party’s 2023 campaign. According to him, loyalty was not just emotional, it was financial, physical, and, ultimately, total. In a country where political support often comes with expectations, some spoken, many implied the man’s outcry reads like a tragic audit of misplaced trust. His claim that he sold his house to fund campaign efforts has not been independently verified, but the symbolism is hard to ignore: a citizen liquidating stability in exchange for promised political dividends. Observers at the scene watched as the protester oscillated between anger and ...
I want to give a special laurels to Governor Ademola Adeleke, for his matured mind to have issued congratulatory message in recognition of the awards given to his predecessors, Aregbesola and Oyetola as Commander of Order of Niger (CON), as announced by the immediate past president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement released Governor Ademola Adeleke's spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, read; "The Executive Governor of Osun state, Senator Ademola Adeleke has congratulated former Governors of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, David Adeleke (Davido) and other indigenes of Osun who bagged different national honours awards as conferred by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Governor noted that the award is a recognition of their noble and immense contributions to the growth and development of Osun state and Nigeria in general.
The Governor further noted that they have all distinguished themselves in different ways and areas to have been recognized by the President.
Governor Adeleke added that all the awardees are worthy ambassadors of the state and such Osun is proud of them all.
"I sincerely congratulate all the Indigenes of Osun who bagged different national awards.
However, it could be noted that Gov. Ademola was called different sort of names by the followers of these ex-governors during campaigns and electioneering process, the trend which worsen the camp of APC that couldn't caution themselves against party leaders whilst some members are usually desirous of using vapid comments on social media to castigate Governor Aregbesola in a fuelled fued that hosted the immediate past governor of Osun, Oyetola from office, they initiated fight to play game of loyalty for appointments.
"There was a time that the outspoken Chief Press Sec to Oyetola, Mr. Ismail Omipidan, was hosted in an event, the question I asked him was not in tandem with the topic we were discussing that day at "BenBar Foundation, "in a programme tagged; "Digging Into Politics and Governance" but I know what would cause the progressives's downfall is "SYCOPHANCY" and i asked why was it that the average progressives members are too sycophantic, I forsaw their problems, but today they're not willing to grow and the party may not elect the future governor in the next 7years.
APC members are wrong, if those loyal to Governor Oyetola only focusing on federal appointments, the party may not near the total vote it got in the previous elections.
As John Bolton, Ron Desantis, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley are prepping to battle Donald Trump in the 2024 GOP Primary, despite the upsurge legal cases surrounding TRUMP, such as classified documents, defamation and battery litigation against E. Jean Carroll, the republicans eyeing presidential ticket does not see it as loopholes to disgrace the former president, otherwise Kelvin McCarthy might not have had
the majority of vote to become the House Speaker, despite TRUMP lost power to BIDEN in an historic election which pummelled into January 6 insurrection.
Governor Ademola Adeleke is playing card of forgiveness just as Tinubu did to conquered, even as heaping of praises to someone who holds the mantle of power has now become political warfare, people need to realised that a house built on solid rock can only stand.
The progressives doesn't fought over who have the capacity to deliver vote, they thought building fresh structure would secure more popularity for the party and lead them to gubernatorial victory, but the structure only rigid at state level, fragile glass at the grassroots , owing to the fact that the movers of the structure at state level are closer to power which was the parameter for most appointments, an embarrassing gaffe by the so called appointees who added to loss of political weigh of fewer unpopular cabinet members. As evidence of vote pulled in previous elections exposed chicken butt if the cause of failures is statistically evaluated.
