BREAKING: From Campaign Donor to ‘Kill Me or Pay Me’: Man Reviews APC Investment Balance Sheet

  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 ...

Accord Rejects Call for Deregistration, Accuses Wole Oke of Misleading INEC

 

The Osun State Chapter of the Accord Party has rejected in strong terms a graphic and statement attributed to Hon. Wole Oke, calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister Accord as a political party in Nigeria.

In a statement signed by the Osun State Chairman of the party, Pastor Victor Babalola Akande, Accord described the call as misleading, unfounded, and politically motivated. The party alleged that the move is aimed at creating confusion ahead of the August 8, 2026 Osun State governorship election, particularly to frustrate the anticipated participation of Governor Ademola Adeleke on the platform of Accord.

Accord maintained that any attempt to pressure INEC into deregistering the party would amount to an illegal action, stressing that the powers of the electoral body are clearly defined by the Constitution and the Electoral Act.

The party further stated that Accord remains a fully registered and law-abiding political party that has consistently met the requirements stipulated by law, including participation in elections across Nigeria. According to the statement, the suggestion that Accord is liable for deregistration has no legal basis and is not supported by any provision of the Electoral Act or the 1999 Constitution (as amended).



“Accord has consistently participated in elections and has recorded notable performances in various parts of the country. We remain solidly registered, legally grounded, and fully compliant with all constitutional and electoral requirements,” the statement read.

The party urged its members and supporters in Osun State to remain calm and focused, describing the call for deregistration as a distraction that should not derail its political objectives or grassroots mobilisation ahead of future elections.

Accord also cautioned against what it described as repeated attempts to drag the party into unnecessary political controversy, insisting that political disagreements should be pursued within the bounds of the law and democratic principles.

The party reaffirmed its commitment to lawful political engagement and warned that it would explore all legal options available should attempts to misrepresent its status or undermine its participation in the democratic process persist.

Accord concluded by reiterating its confidence in the Nigerian electoral system and the awareness of the Osun electorate, noting that the party remains focused on its political mission and responsive to the aspirations of the people of the state.

Signed:

Pastor Victor Babalola Akande

Osun State Chairman, Accord Party

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 ...
