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...

"At the core of this crisis is the control and allocation of vast ancestral lands spanning over 22 communities. This dispu...

Ohanaeze Progressive Council Disowns Statement Against Former Governors’ Endorsement of President Tinubu for Second Term ***Says South-East Leaders Acted in Igbo Interest

The Ohanaeze Progressive Council (OPC) has vehemently disowned and condemned the reckless, ill-advised, and deeply disrespectful statement issued by the so-called Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) declaring the South-East Forum of Former Governors as “persona non grata” in Igboland. In a press statement, the National President of the Ohanaeze Progressive Council, Comrade Ugo Benjamin, described the OYC’s action as “an act of shameless youthful arrogance and cultural sacrilege that has no place in the dignified traditions of Ndigbo.” “This is not how Igbo people behave,” Comrade Benjamin said. “In Igboland, respect for elders, leaders, and statesmen is not optional—it is sacred. "These elders are accomplished sons of the soil who have served our people with distinction. "For a fringe group of loud-mouthed youths to wake up and declare them outcasts is not only laughable but a disgusting display of disrespect that spits on the very face of Igbo culture and tradition.” Comrade Benjam...

By Sam Osagie The necessity for national reconstruction within Nigeria’s economic governance has brought the emergence of a distinguished figure in person of Barrister Aminu Junaidu, who is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Investment and Securities Tribunal. This is a man who do not merely occupy office; but redefine it. He is a personality who do not merely inherit system; but refine it. In his tenure of just less than 6 months, his leadership has transcended from routine administration to the noble realm of institutional renaissance. Since assuming office on the 26th of October, 2025, for a five-year tenure under the appointment of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Barrister Junaidu has demonstrated that visionary leadership remains the indispensable catalyst of institutional excellence. His emergence at the helm of the Tribunal is now seen as the commencement of a reformist era; an era structured by diligence, inclusiveness, judicial dispatch, and international relevance. From the v...

By Philip Agbese In this present generation, institutions like the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has been blessed with a leader whose tenure has become a reference point for courage, clarity, and uncommon administrative excellence.

He came when courageous reforms were highly needed. Since he assumed office in November 2023, Dr. Maida’s transformative leadership style has produced immense results that were gotten from his numero...
