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 ...

Akogun Raji Abioye Distributes Ramadan Food Packages to 1,200 Residents Across Osogbo Federal Constituency

 


An aspirant for the House of Representatives to represent the Osogbo, Olorunda, Orolu and Irepodun Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections, Engr. Akogun Raji Abioye, on Sunday distributed food bank packages to about 1,200 residents across the constituency as part of a Ramadan support initiative.



The distribution took place during a special Ramadan programme held at the Erin-Osun Hall in Erin-Osun, bringing together party leaders, community members and residents from different parts of the federal constituency.

Speaking during the event, the Mufasir of Erin-Osun, Alhaji Hussein Aberuagba, delivered a sermon drawn from the Holy Qur’an, emphasizing the responsibilities of leaders toward their followers. He highlighted the importance of compassion, accountability and service to the people, noting that leadership should always reflect care for the welfare of the community.

Addressing participants at the gathering, Abioye expressed appreciation to leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state for honouring the invitation despite their tight schedules. He specifically thanked ward chairmen, local government leaders and party faithful who attended the programme.


According to Abioye, the initiative was part of his personal commitment to giving back to society and supporting residents during the holy month of Ramadan.

He explained that the food bank packages were distributed to ease the burden on families observing the Ramadan fast and to encourage prayers for peace and political success ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

Abioye urged residents of the constituency to support the APC governorship candidate in the August 15, 2026 election, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, and his running mate, Aree Benjamin Adereti. He stressed that their victory would bring renewed development and improved governance to Osun State.

He further called on the people of the constituency to remain united and committed to the party, noting that the dividends of democracy experienced under previous APC leadership in the state should be sustained.

Also speaking at the programme, a representative of the Osun State APC Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, the APC Youth Leader, Alhaji Ibrahim Akinwemimo, commended party members and leaders for their turnout at the event.

Akinwemimo conveyed greetings from the state chairman and urged party members to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the governorship election scheduled for August 15, 2026. He encouraged them to support the APC candidate and remain committed to the party’s vision for development in the state.

He also described Abioye as a grassroots politician who has consistently contributed to youth development and political mobilization in the state, urging constituents to support his aspirations.

Among dignitaries present at the programme were the APC Youth Leader, Ibrahim Akinwemimo, representing the state chairman; APC Publicity Secretary Hon. Wole; State Welfare Officer Hon. Bamgbade Bukandi; the Assistant Auditor of the party; Hon Abiodun Ashabi; and Hon. Kamil Oyedele, former member House of Assembly.


Also in attendance were ward chairmen from across the Osogbo Federal Constituency, local government chairmen and numerous party supporters who gathered to participate in the Ramadan programme and the distribution of food packages.


The beneficiaries applauded the donor for given back to the society.

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.

"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 ...
