Wole Oke Honours Ooni Ogunwusi at 2025 Olojo Festival

 


Obokun/Oriade Federal lawmaker, Hon. Oluwole Oke, has joined voices across Yorubaland in honouring the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on the grand celebration of the 2025 Olojo Festival.




In a personally signed statement, Oke described the festival as more than just a cultural event, noting that it symbolizes the divine moment when “day became day” (Ojo ti Ojo di Ojo), underscoring Ile-Ife’s revered place as the cradle of the Yoruba race.



“The Olojo Festival is a festival of destiny. It represents spiritual renewal, the triumph of light over darkness, and a unifying platform for all true sons and daughters of Oduduwa across the world,” he said.



The lawmaker, who chairs the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, stressed that the festival serves as both a demonstration of Yoruba collective heritage and a reminder of their shared history.



“Olojo transcends entertainment. It embodies our pride, affirms our history, and charts the path for our future. Ile-Ife is not just another town; it is the throne room of creation and the essence of Yoruba identity,” Oke stated.

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 ...
