Image
Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Remo Division of Ogun East Senatorial District have unanimously endorsed Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, as their preferred candidate for the Senate in the 2027 general elections. The endorsement was made during a well-attended meeting of party leaders on Tuesday, where stakeholders across the division urged the governor to contest the Ogun East Senatorial seat. Moving the motion, Chief Muri Awolaja, an apex leader of the party from Sagamu Local Government Area, described Abiodun as an achiever and a true son of Remoland and Ogun East, noting that he is eminently qualified to represent the district at the National Assembly.

"Prepared By Destiny, Chosen By Service, Dapo Abiodun Is Ready For The Senate”

Image
By Tayo Mabeweje Leadership is often measured not by the heights one reaches but by the journeys one takes to get there. As Prince Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun, CON, once sought a seat in the Nigerian Senate, destiny charted a path that was larger than ambition itself. Instead of immediate gratification, he was entrusted with Ogun State—a stage where his leadership would not just be seen but felt in every street, town, and household. As John F. Kennedy once said, “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” Dapo Abiodun has embodied this truth, turning governance into a masterclass of vision, discipline, and results. Under his stewardship, Ogun State has become a living testament to what happens when foresight meets action: roads connecting communities, industries thriving, and opportunities multiplying for every citizen. To call him merely a governor would be like calling the sun “a light in the sky.” His tenure has been transformative, reshaping Ogun State into a beacon of p...

Gbajabiamila: The Man Whose Legislative Work Is Changing Nigeria's Educational Landscape

Image
  By Toby Prince      In the very words of Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”   This same view was echoed by Malcolm X, who asserted that “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”   While these quotes capture the essence of education as a tool for personal growth, societal change, and empowerment, they perhaps informed Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila's drive towards leveraging legislative representation as a viable tool for societal reconfiguration and educational reformation.   Today, the facts, as they say, speak for themselves. Indeed, Rt. Hon. Gbajabiamila is no stranger to lawmaking. He has been making positive impact and driving national development for several years through effective legislation.   Fundamentally, Chief Femi has been instrumental in the sponsorship of numerous and wide-ranging Bills, with many already passed into l...
