PRESS RELEASE: Ondo Council Poll: Thank You Ondo State People - APC

As the whole world is aware, the council poll, organised by the PDP and its Government was held today in Ondo State. As a party that treasures the rule of law and democracy, we of the APC advised the State governor against any act that will promote unconstitutionality, and award prodigal space to perfidy. We did all of that to demonstrate the avowed commitment of APC in the State to constitutionality, democracy andthe rule of law – the foundation of participatory democracy.


When it was clear to our party that the PDP and its government will not be dissuaded from the path of unconstitutionality and their determination to waste the meagre resources of the tax payers on the said puerile council election, we made it known to the good citizens of Ondo State that the APC will not participate in the charade called council poll. Based on our conviction that the people of Ondo State will always thread the path of constitutionality, we appealed to then to stay away from wastage. Today, our party is vindicated. This is evident in the absolute concurrence of the people with our plea, that they should stay away from the poll. The people demonstrated clearly and unequivocally that no-one can pull any wool over thier eyes. With this boycott by the people, they have announced their rejection of the polls, the government and the government party. We will not however, be surprised with phoney figures of participation by the ODIEC just to cover this shame.

Ondo State: I Weep for You, By Dayo Williams

Another gubernatorial election draws nigh in Ondo State and the Governor Olusegun Mimiko, in his usually characteristically cosmetic approach to governance known only to the deep – for the masses are largely unaware of this – has signed another Memorandum of Understanding with an American bitumen exploration company called Liquefied Resources LLC.
A random check of the company on the internet shows that it has no functional website. There is no nothing to show that it has the capacity to do the exploration which requires so much technical-know how, coupled with an established track record of completed or ongoing projects in bitumen exploration processes.

Again, the company based at 107S Beech Springs, Cir Spring, Texas, 77389, United States of America, was only incorporated in February, 2012 according to the Houston-based 75-year old President of the company, Thomas Elard Cooley. Yet, the Managing Director of the Nigerian subsidiary of the company, one Mr. Tony Amechi James, on his LinkedIn page says he has been with the company since 2006. Who will reconcile the difference in the dates? Does it mean that the Nigerian subsidiary was created before its American parent? Something appears clumsy there. And who does business with such a company in this 21st century?

Aregbesola Students Vanguard: We will never return to Egypt

One of the most memorable events recorded in the holy bible in the journey of the Isrealites from egypt to the promise land. The story in the book of genesis is not only well known to virtually every Christians and many more who have taken time to read the holy bible but its captivating essence is quite instructive. 

Each verse captures the incontrovertible evidence of God’s power over creation and how it could be used to favour as well as destroy. It also witness God’s wonder performed in pulling the Israelites out of Egypt, including practically dividing the red sea to allow their passage and causing it to swallow the pursuing Egyptian soldiers. Tragedically, Israelites still display faithfulnesses in their God who had performed this great wonders.

This historical bible event can be likely compared nowadays to the Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola led government regime. From the inception of his governance, the people of the state of Osun has witness so many dividends of democracy delivered which can be felt and seen in the nooks and crannies of the state. Apart from the different life changing youth empowerment scheme, educational revival/resuscitation in the state, increase in health delivery, gender/religion equity, there has been a unique massive road construction in the state in which its advantages cannot be overlooked.

Ekiti 2014: Nigerian military orders shoot at sight

The Nigerian military has ordered soldiers to shoot “whosoever is caught with any offensive weapons” in the buildup to the June 21 gubernatorial election in Ekiti State. This is as the military announced that it arrested three persons with a truck laden with out-dated election materials on Thursday in the state.

The run-up to the election has been characterised by violent clashes with the major political parties pointing accusing fingers at one another. Matters got to a head last Sunday when mobile police officers shot at the governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi, and his supporters during a rally in the state capital, Ado-Ekiti.
