Nigeria Is Not Owned by Anyone—Except Those Who Build Her

  On this Democracy Day, I had intended to rest my pen. I wanted to leave the fate written on the walls of history to speak for itself. I thought perhaps the sacrifices of those who fought for democracy were enough testimony. Yet, in the final hour, a thought stirred within me, compelling me to write a message to all of us who have come together to form this sovereign nation called Nigeria. My message is particularly for those who believe that the business of Nigeria lies in the hands of a powerful few. Perhaps they are influenced by what the German sociologist Robert Michels described as the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" ,the tendency for power to concentrate in the hands of a small elite. Looking at our politics, our institutions, and our economy, one may be tempted to believe that the destiny of Nigeria is determined only by those who occupy powerful offices and influential positions. But history tells a different story. Nigeria does not belong to any president, governor, politi...

Governor Adeleke Warned: Critics Claim Obokun and Oriade Delegates Are Out to Exploit Him






Critics have raised concerns ahead of a scheduled meeting between Governor Ademola Adeleke and selected political leaders from Obokun and Oriade local governments. They have cautioned the governor not to be deceived by those he has invited to the Government House, alleging that many among them are only seeking personal gain under the guise of party loyalty.


The critics issued a stern warning: “Mr. Governor, we warned you. Do not be deceived. Those coming from Obokun and Oriade are not coming in good faith, they are here to scam you and take what rightly belongs to others.”


This strong message comes as the Osun State Governor, Senator (Dr.) Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke popularly known as “Imole” is set to meet with several PDP leaders from Obokun on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM, at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Oke-Fia, Osogbo.

The list of invitees includes notable figures such as:

Hon. Mayowa Adejoorin

Hon. Adewumi Adeyemi

Prince Diran Odeyemi

Mrs. Eniola Omotoso

Bishop Mike Adewale

Hon. Jire Agboola

Hon. Rotimi Odugbemi

Hon. Kunle Adeoti

All elected Councillors from Obokun and Oriade

Party State Officers including Yemisi Itiola and Mrs. Idowu Adeyemi

LG Chairmen, Excos, and Ward Chairmen

Dr. David Ogunsade

Hon. Adenle Adejumo

Alhaja Tunrayo Akuruyejo

Chief Sesan Orija, among many others.


In total, over 60 names are listed as participants in the high-profile meeting. 
The warning from critics suggests a growing internal rift within the Osun PDP, and how Governor Adeleke responds to these concerns may influence future political dynamics in the state, especially as 2026 elections draw closer.

Efforts to reach party officials for comments on the allegations were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
