Image
Ado-Odo/Ota LG Chairman Lawal Wasiu presents ₦13.2bn 2026 budget focused on infrastructure, amenities restoration, and improved living standards... The Executive Chairman of Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government, Hon. Lawal Adewale Wasiu, has set the tone for an ambitious new fiscal year, unveiling a ₦13.2 billion 2026 budget proposal that he described as a decisive roadmap for growth, infrastructure renewal, and improved quality of life for residents. Presented before the Legislative Council at the council’s chambers, the proposal—aptly titled “Budget of Amenities Restoration and Improvement”—is being positioned as more than a financial document, but a strategic blueprint aimed at reshaping the socio-economic landscape of one of Ogun State’s most commercially vibrant corridors.

Why Dapo Abiodun's Senate Ambition Could Torch APC's Chances In Ogun State Come 2027

Image
By Olayinka Olufowobi from Odogbolu Imagine it, It is 2027, the stakes are sky-high for President Tinubu's legacy, every Senate seat is a battlefield, and the APC in Ogun East is suddenly bleeding votes like a wounded lion. The reason? They handed the ticket to Governor Dapo Abiodun, the same man whose own backyard voters have already turned their backs on him twice in the most humiliating ways possible. This isn't speculation; it's a political horror story written in election results, a governor whose popularity is evaporating faster than morning dew under the Ogun sun. Buckle up, because if APC ignores the red flags screaming from Abiodun's record, 2027 could turn Ogun State into the party's graveyard. Let’s rip the band-aid off with the brutal truth everyone in Ijebu-Ode and Sagamu whispers, but few say out loud. In 2015, Abiodun ran for Ogun East Senate and got demolished by Buruji Kashamu. No close shave, no excuses, just a clear, stinging defeat. Fast-forward ...

"I found Peace in Islam" - Da Amakiri Tubo, Alhaji Mujahid Abubarkr Dokubo-Asari on His Conversion, Conviction and Life of Discipline

Image
By: Al Humphrey Onyanabo  On the final day of Ramadan, inside the quiet elegance of the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja, I sat across from Da Amakiri Tubo, Alhaji Mujahid Abubarkr Dokubo-Asari, Amanyanabo of the oil rich, Elem Kalabari,(The Source,) Torusarama Piri, Dabaye Amakiri 1, a man many know for his strong voice, controversial positions, and unmistakable presence in Nigeria’s public space. But beyond the politics, beyond the agitation, beyond the titles, there is a deeper force that defines him — faith. What emerged in that conversation was not the rhetoric of a public figure, but the conviction of a man whose life is firmly anchored in Islam — not casually, not symbolically, but completely. A Journey That Became Identity For him, Islam was not an accident of birth.  It was a journey — one that began with curiosity but matured into total submission. He spoke of a defining moment — a point where belief stopped being intellectual and became personal, consuming, and irreversibl...

Alalade Defends Tinubu’s UK Visit Amid Criticism Over Borno Killings

Image
APC stalwart from Ibadan North Local Government, Hon. Ademola Alalade, has defended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over criticism surrounding his ongoing state visit to the United Kingdom, insisting that the trip should not be politicised in light of the recent killings in Borno State. Responding to comments made by Peter Obi, who argued that the President ought to have cancelled his trip to address the security situation in Borno, Alalade stated that such calls fail to appreciate the importance of pre-scheduled diplomatic engagements. According to him, state visits are strategic commitments that play a critical role in strengthening bilateral relations, attracting investment, and enhancing security cooperation. He warned that cancelling such engagements at short notice could undermine Nigeria’s international credibility and disrupt ongoing negotiations beneficial to the country. Alalade emphasised that the Federal Government has not neglected the situation in Borno, noting that senior of...
