NANS Warns Against ‘Name-Dropping’ of Governor in Ogun JCC Election, Declares SA Adeyemi Persona Non Grata

Concerned stakeholders in the National Association of Nigerian Students, Ogun State Joint Campus Committee, has become aware of troubling developments suggesting undue interference in its forthcoming election process. As an independent student body, NANS remains committed to democratic principles, transparency, and the collective will of students across campuses in Ogun State. However, recent indicators point to attempts by the Special Assistant to the Ogun State Governor on Students’ Affairs, Adeyemi Azeez Amoo, to influence the electoral process in ways that could undermine its credibility and integrity. Reports reaching stakeholders within the student community indicate that there are moves to improperly invoke the name and authority of the Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to sway outcomes and intimidate participants. Such actions, if allowed to persist, risk creating unnecessary tension among students and could disrupt the peaceful conduct of the election. It is important to stress that the...

A presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Stanley Osifo, has declared that he possesses the capacity to solve Nigeria’s numerous challenges and urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to give him an opportunity. Osifo, an indigene of Edo State, said that he had already purchased the APC presidential expression of interest and nomination forms worth N100 million ahead of the 2027 general elections. Speaking in an interview on Friday, Osifo dismissed claims that Tinubu financed the purchase of the forms. “Some people said President Bola Tinubu gave me money to buy the nomination and expression of interest forms. Tinubu has never given me any money before. “He has never given me any kobo, penny, or pence. I bought branded vehicles to support his presidential ambition in 2023. I mobilised people with my resources to support him then,” he said. Osifo added that he is prepared to participate in whichever mode of primary election the APC adopts. “Let us go f...

Oyebanji’s Aso Rock Photo-Ops Won’t Rewrite History

By Comrade Ilesanmi Kolawole   A growing pattern in Ekiti State’s political landscape is raising serious questions about leadership priorities, governance outcomes, and the increasing reliance on optics over substance. In recent months, Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s repeated visits to Aso Rock, often accompanied by well-publicized photographs with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have been framed by his supporters as evidence of political relevance and access. However, a closer and more critical examination reveals a different narrative, one that underscores a troubling gap between image-making and actual performance. Let us be clear: governance is not a photo album. Leadership is not measured by the number of times a governor appears in Abuja or stands beside the President for the cameras. Governance is measured by impact, visible, tangible, and verifiable improvements in the lives of the people. Unfortunately, in Ekiti today, many citizens are still searching for those defining projects...
