Image
The Youth Forum of Ojomu Royal Family of Ajiran Town in Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State, has written a petition against the Commissioner of Police in the state, Moshood Jimoh, over the accusations levelled against Hammed Tajudeen. Speaking at a press briefing in Lagos, the counsel to the Forum, (Adedotun Ajulo, Esq.), said the Lagos State Police Command cannot embark on a media trial in an alleged murder case.

Susan Ekpoh Demands Retraction of Misleading Report on Gateway Airport

Image
Nigerian corporate pilot, Captain Susan Ekpoh, has formally demanded the immediate withdrawal of an article published by Apple Bite International Magazine, alleging that the publication misrepresented her personal social media post regarding a landing at Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport in Ogun State. Captain Ekpoh clarified that her post, made on February 21, 2026, was a reflection of her personal flying experience upon landing at the airport. She stressed that it was neither a political critique nor a regulatory assessment, and did not constitute commentary on the Ogun State Government or aviation authorities. The article in question, titled “Nigerian Pilot Faults Dapo Abiodun’s $800m Gateway International Airport, Says Runway Undulates,” reportedly attributed statements to her that she insists she never made. According to her legal representatives, the publication suggested that she questioned the airport’s certification standards and publicly criticized the state government...

Dapo Abiodun, 2027 And The Antics Of A Drowning Politician

Image
By Gbeleyi Emmanuel  In Nigeria, groups emerge as political desperation dictates. And that's a why it is no surprise that something called Human Global Resource Initiative has approached the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court, seeking a restraining order against INEC, SSS, and APC from fielding Governor Dapo Abiodun for any elective office in 2027. Pray when did the DSS start fielding candidates for elections? But that's by the way. The group, an outgrowth of the leprous fingers of a drowning senator, alleges that Abiodun submitted fake academic records and made false declarations on his INEC forms. This, then, is the basis for its quest for a perpetual injunction restraining INEC from considering Abiodun as a candidate, and a declaration that Abiodun's contradictions amount to false declaration and violations of the Constitution and Electoral Act. Given that these are issues already decided by the courts, it is not hard to see that this is gross abuse of the court pr...

Akure Youth Democratic Vanguard Endorses Ajulo’s Rebuttal, Describes Festus Adedayo as “Out of Touch with Present Realities”

Image
The Akure Youth Democratic Vanguard (AYDV) has commended what it described as the measured, factual, and constitutionally grounded response of the Ondo State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr Olukayode Ajulo, to the recent article authored by Newspaper columnist Festus Adedayo, which sought to discredit the one-year achievements of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo state.  In a press statement signed by its Coordinator, Abayomi Segun, in Akure, the youth group described Dr. Ajulo’s intervention as “a courageous defence of truth against orchestrated falsehood,” noting that his presentation of verifiable facts and figures laid to rest what they termed “a sensational and outdated narrative that bears no resemblance to the Ondo State of today.” According to AYDV, Dr. Adedayo’s article betrayed a troubling disconnect from the realities on ground, particularly in Akure, the state capital he claims as home. “It is shocking that a son of Akure would paint a gloomy and imagi...

Aiyedatiwa and the Politics of Manufactured Outrage

Image
By Dr. Abayomi Obasola When I read the February 22, 2026 piece by Festus Adedayo in the Sunday Tribune titled “Aiyedatiwa’s Years of the Locusts,” I was not struck by its literary flourish. I was struck by its bitterness. Dr. Adedayo has, over the years, worked alongside and around politicians whose records were, at best, underwhelming and, at worst, abysmal. Yet, never did we read from him the kind of apocalyptic metaphors he now deploys with theatrical relish. It is therefore difficult to ignore the growing public perception that his current crusade against Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa is less about governance and more about grievance, less about facts and more about fresh sponsorship. It is fashionable in certain circles to recruit media attack dogs when political battles heat up. The language is usually the same, locusts, vultures, blood, greed. What is often missing is evidence. Let us address the issues.  Dr. Adedayo attempts to tie Governor Aiyedatiwa to violence at ward congre...
