PDP can never win. Lagos—Jandor

"Thank you, Mr. Tunji Malomo, for your bold and well-articulated piece. Only those who truly know our political history and are not blinded by loyalty to individuals over the truth will understand the weight of your words.

When people accuse His Excellency Rauf Aregbesola of betrayal, one wonders: "*How long must a man be loyal before he is allowed to have a mind of his own?"* l Is loyalty slavery? Or is it mutual respect?

*Let’s take a journey through the forgotten pages of history:*

1. *Tinubu's Betrayal of Afenifere:*
The Yoruba elders of Afenifere gave Tinubu a platform when he was a political nobody. But what happened after he tasted power? He threw them aside like yesterday’s newspaper and built his personal empire. That was the first great betrayal.

2. *The Abacha Chapter* :
Many may not remember, but Tinubu once sought favour from the same Abacha he later pretended to fight against. His exile was not born of sacrifice but of disappointment when Abacha refused him. He didn’t run because of democracy; he ran because his expectations were cut short.

3. *The June 12 Deceit:*
Even the late MKO Abiola’s family can not forget how Tinubu traded the June 12 struggle for personal gain. Kola Abiola himself exposed these betrayals. While some bled for the cause, others bargained for personal survival.

4. *Oyetola vs Aregbesola - Family Over Party:*
Aregbesola built Osun APC with sweat and sacrifice. But when it was time for succession, Tinubu chose blood over merit. Oyetola, his cousin, was handed the ticket. Even the one-term gentleman’s agreement was broken. If this isn’t betrayal, then what is?

5. *Alpha Beta and the Empire of Greed:*
How many bright minds brought ideas to the Lagos political table, only for Tinubu to pocket them and claim them as his own? Alpha Beta is just one of the many examples where brains were stolen, and loyalty was betrayed for profit.

6. *Aregbesola's Years of Service:*
For almost 30 years, Aregbesola served Tinubu with unquestionable loyalty. From the trenches of NADECO to the corridors of Lagos State, from Osun’s political storms to APC’s national battles. Yet, when he asked for fairness, he was branded a traitor...."

A former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Senator Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, has alleged irregularities in the ongoing local government elections in the state and called for the cancellation of the exercise.

Speaking in an interview with Nigeria Info on Saturday, Bucknor-Akerele expressed frustration over her inability to vote at her polling unit.

“I have been to the unit; my name is not there,” she said, adding that several units had been moved without prior notice.

“There are units supposed to be in front of Eko Hotel; they have brought them here to Ajose Adeogun,” she said.

No LASIEC Officials, No Materials, No Voting in Several Areas—Residents Decry Chaos in Lagos LG Polls.

Former Lagos Deputy Governor Senator Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele calls for cancellation of the ongoing LG poll over alleged irregularities and impunity.

I deleted the old post because the slip contained their home address.

Here is Chinedu Okeke’s local government identification letter, UNN screening slip, and WAEC result he obtained in 2021.

His local government is Njikoka Local Government in Anambra State. His place of residence is in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos.

Amuwo Odofin as his local government. He has always maintained Njikoka Local Government in Anambra State.

JAMB will pay for this reputational damage they are inflicting on this boy.

His only crime is that he is the best in the history of JAMB exams in Nigeria.

This is unfair to this hardworking youngster!


I thought Anambra State had a governor and a commissioner for education.
Why are they silent on Chinedu’s case?

Coalition not a threat to PDP, Makinde declares
.As S/West PDP leaders reaffirm support for party

Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is an institution that cannot be threatened by talks about an emerging coalition, noting that the party remains united and undivided in the South-West geopolitical zone.

The governor said that PDP leaders in the South-West have resolved that as responsible leaders, they would stay in the party and fix whatever challenges arise, adding that the PDP will deal with its issues and come out stronger as the only credible political alternative for Nigerians.

Governor Makinde stated this on Friday, while speaking with newsmen shortly after a meeting of the South-West PDP Caucus, held at the South-West PDP Secretariat named after Hon. Soji Adagunodo.

He said: "We want the whole world to know that the PDP in the South-West is united and we are together and that the coalition is not a threat to the PDP.

“Who are these people in this coalition? They were in some parties before, whether PDP or APC. What are their antecedents? Does it mean that anytime they move from one party to the other, they have repented or they have something new to offer the people? These are salient questions.

"This Soji Adagunodo House is for the PDP South-West. If the roof is leaking, as leaders of PDP in the South-West, are we going to abandon the building and go somewhere else to take refuge? No. We will stay inside here and fix it to let the people know that we are responsible leaders and we have the interest of the people at heart.

"So, a lot of people can say whatever they like, but in a party like the PDP, which is an institution, we have our own ways and means of dealing with such issues. When we get to the point where we have to deal with such issues, I give you the assurance that we will."

Earlier, the meeting which comprised the Osun State governor, Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke, who was represented by his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and other key leaders, issued a communique, stressing that the leadership of the party in the zone distanced itself from the coalition.

Noting that the leaders reaffirmed their loyalty to the PDP and commitment to the unity, stability, progress and success of the party at all levels in the zone and across the country, the communiqué added that the PDP South-West Caucus threw its weight behind the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) that the party would be open to working with other like-minded citizens desirous of rescuing Nigeria from the stranglehold of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

It added that the the Caucus commended and appreciated Governors Makinde and Adeleke and other leaders of the PDP in the South-West Zone for their untiring roles in ensuring the stability and growth of the PDP, noting that the “PDP in South-West is intact and urges all organs and relevant bodies of the party to remain focused and continue to work assiduously towards the successful conduct of the scheduled National Convention to further strengthen and reposition the PDP for the task ahead.”

The communiqué read further: “The Caucus resolves to intensify efforts to ensure the victory of our great Party in the upcoming by-elections in Oyo and Ogun States as well as Local Government Council election in Lagos State. The Caucus is confident that the PDP as a party of choice in the South West and Nigeria at large will record sweeping victory in the coming elections.

“The Caucus demands that the Federal Government immediately release the withheld Osun State Local Government allocation. The withholding of the Osun State Local Government allocation by the Federal Government is unconstitutional, unwarranted and a violation of the rights and wellbeing of the people of Osun State.

“The Caucus expresses very serious concern over the worsening insecurity and economic hardship in the country under the APC administration. The Caucus reechoes the declaration of Governor Makinde that the 2027 election will be between Nigerians and the APC, with Nigerians ultimately triumphing under the banner of the PDP.

“The Caucus again commends Governor Makinde and Governor Adeleke for their people-oriented leadership in ensuring peace, stability, security and infrastructural development in the South West Zone.

“The Caucus urges Nigerians not to lose hope but remain resolute and continue to rally with the PDP as our party leads the charge to rescue our nation from the misrule of the APC.”

Leaders in attendance at the meeting also include the PDP Deputy National Chairman (South), Amb. Taofeek Arapaja; Dr Eddy Olafeso; Senator Monsurat Sunmonu; Dr Saka Balogun; PDP National Vice Chairman (South-West), Barr. Kamorudeen Ajisafe; and Oyo State PDP Secretary, Alhaji Wasiu Adeleke, among others.

*C of O doesn't stop us from retrieving Land in Lagos, Yoruba Conservatives tells Igbos.*

*The Yoruba Conservative has clear the air on ownership of land in Lagos stating that no amount of proof of ownership can stop them from retrieving any land on Lagos soil.*

Some people believe because they have lived in Lagos for years and own a property or land means they have same right as Yoruba. But thats not true. You are in Lagos to do business, and because Yoruba welcome and accommodated you by selling you a land doesn't mean those land are gone. Absolutely not! You don't own the land, you are only permitted to use it as long as you don't disobey or disrespect your host Yoruba. Which means you own that land because you and the seller are in good terms.

Even if you paid millions to acquire it, that doesn't stop us from getting the land back. There are many reports flying everywhere that Igbos said they own Lagos and they already bought all the land. This make me laugh because according to us, we don't agree and believe in what they believe.

The certificate of occupancy is between you and the government but not between us. We never for once believe in that. We don't do things on court order. We do things on our own. We can demolish any building without court order, we can give a quit notice to landlord without a court order if we think such landlord is chewing more than he can bite or disrespecting the native people of Lagos.

If certificate of occupancy is the reason why anyone will say they own a place, then I think they already missed the point dealing with people like us. Yoruba Conservative is a native movement that is guided by ancestral history, not by any court.

You can give it any definition or call us any names, but that's the fact. Therefore if anyone thinks having a C of O can make him disrespect us by talking anyhow, then the person has missed it. We will definitely come for such person sooner or later.

If you lived in the UK or US, even if you are a citizen, you still have to respect the native English or Native Americans. The moment you start misbehaving, you may be in trouble.

Yoruba in UK, US and even within Nigeria has never called another tribe land a No Man's Land even if they have lived their for hundred years. You will never hear our people disrespecting their host. So why should we allow that from foreigner.

In igboland, they don't even sell land to non igbos, they only care about themselves. So if you come to Lagos and start misbehaving, then you must face the consequences of your action; and the time has come already.
