Eid el-Kabir: Oyetola Calls for Unity, Salutes Osun Muslims and APC Faithful in Spirit of Sacrifice




The Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, His Excellency Adegboyega Oyetola, CON, has extended heartfelt Eid el-Kabir greetings to the Muslim faithful in Osun State and across Nigeria, urging reflection on the values of sacrifice, devotion, and communal harmony that define the sacred festival.

In a goodwill message signed and released by Dr. Bolaji Akinola,
Special Adviser (Media and Communications) on Wednesday, Oyetola, who is the immediate past Governor of Osun State and a prominent leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), described Eid el-Kabir as a solemn reminder of Prophet Ibrahim unwavering obedience to Allah, calling on citizens to emulate the prophet’s spirit of submission, faith, and service.
“Eid al-Adha reminds us of Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to God’s will,  an example of trust, obedience, and unshakable faith. It is a time to reflect, to give generously, and to renew our commitment to values that uplift both our personal lives and society at large,” Oyetola said.


The Minister praised the resilience, tolerance, and industrious spirit of the people of Osun, encouraging them to rise above religious and political differences for the sake of peace and collective progress. He noted that unity remains a cornerstone for building a stronger, more prosperous state and nation.

Oyetola also took a moment to commend members of the APC in Osun, recognizing their loyalty and perseverance amidst changing tides. He called on party faithful to use the occasion to reaffirm their shared vision for development and good governance.
 “I salute our APC leaders, stalwarts, and grassroots supporters for your unwavering belief in the ideals of our great party. Let this celebration be a time of introspection and renewed unity as we continue the journey to a greater Osun and a better Nigeria.”



In line with the values of Eid, the Minister stressed the importance of social solidarity, urging citizens to reach out to the less privileged and to make sacrifice not just a ritual but a lived expression of compassion and empathy.
“Sacrifice is more than a rite, it is a call to action. Let us offer our time, our resources, and our care to those in need, especially in these trying times,” he added.


Oyetola concluded his message with prayers for peace, development, and divine guidance for the leaders and citizens of the nation.
 “On behalf of myself, my family, and the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, I wish the Muslim Ummah and the good people of Osun State a joyous and spiritually fulfilling Eid el-Kabir. May Allah accept our sacrifices and grant us peace, wisdom, and prosperity. Eid Mubarak!”

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 ...
