NDC Lagos Condemns “False, Misleading and Malicious” Publication Targeting State Leadership

  The attention of the leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Lagos State Chapter, has been drawn to a misleading and malicious publication currently circulating online under the title: “A Call For An Immediate Vote of No Confidence on the Failed Leadership of NDC Lagos.” Ordinarily, the party would not dignify baseless propaganda and politically motivated attacks with a response. However, in the interest of our members, aspirants, supporters, and the general public, it has become necessary to set the record straight and correct the false narratives deliberately being spread to create confusion and disunity within the party. First, we categorically reject the false allegations of extortion, exploitation, and coercion against the leadership of NDC Lagos State. At no point were aspirants forced or compelled to make any unofficial payments. The only approved payments made by aspirants were the officially recognized screening fees as directed and approved by the National ...

APC Closes Ranks in Osun as Oyebamiji Emerges Consensus Guber Candidate, Omisore Absent

 Ahead of the August 8, 2026 governorship election in Osun State, a former Commissioner for Finance, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, has emerged as the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).



Oyebamiji’s emergence followed the conclusion of the party’s governorship primary election held on Saturday in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.



Announcing the outcome of the exercise, former governorship aspirant, Kunle Rasheed Adegoke, disclosed that Oyebamiji’s affirmation was in line with the decision of the APC National Working Committee (NWC).


Adegoke stated that all other aspirants voluntarily stepped down to adopt Oyebamiji as the party’s consensus candidate.


“I, Kunle Rasheed Adegoke, with the consent of all other aspirants, move the motion that Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji be adopted as the consensus candidate of the APC for the 2026 governorship election. I so move,” he declared.


The motion was seconded by Senator Babajide Omoworare, sealing Oyebamiji’s emergence as the party’s flagbearer.


Following the adoption, all 1,660 accredited delegates at the primary election unanimously cast their votes in support of Oyebamiji.


Notable aspirants present at the venue included former Deputy Governor Benedict Alabi, Akin Ogunbiyi, Dotun Babayemi, Mulikat Abiola Jimoh, and Oralusi, while former Secretary to the State Government, Moshood Adeoti (Omisore), was absent.


The Chairman of the Osun APC Governorship Primary Election Committee and Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, formally announced Oyebamiji as the duly elected candidate of the party.


In his acceptance speech, Oyebamiji called for unity within the party, urging all aspirants and stakeholders to work together to secure victory for the APC in the 2026 general election.


He also observed a one-minute silence in honour of the late immediate past APC State Chairman, Prince Adegboyega Famodun, and a former local government chairman, Hon. Abass, who was murdered during the recent local government leadership crisis in the state.

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...

  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 ...
