Oyo Youth Parliament Decries Illegal Dissolution Of State Youth Parliament By Fakorede |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The attention of the 2nd Assembly of Oyo State Youth Parliament has been drawn to the luciferous letters sent by one Mr Fadeyi to members of the parliament, announcing the decision of the state to dissolve the parliament.

We hereby condemn in its totality, this arrogance exhibited by the commissioner, to arrogate powers that do not belong to his office to himself. We want to state it categorically that the parliament was properly constituted, and there is no provision in the framework for dissolution of the parliament, safe the tenure has been served.

It is more annoying that the commissioner, through the agency would stoop so low, to announce the dissolution of the parliament via social media.

We want to bring it to the notice of the general public that members of the parliament met with the commissioner few weeks ago, where issues were clarified. At the said meeting, Mr Seun Fakorede, promised to convene another meeting to inform members of the parliament on whatever decision the state arrives at, after he would have consult UNFPA, NYSC, NOA and other bodies that are provided by the framework to be part of the selection process.

We challenge Mr Fakorede to show the world the correspondence that occurred between his office and those stated organizations before arriving at this satanic decision, which will not see the light of the day.

We hereby call on the Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, members of the House of Assembly, ably led by Rt Hon Ogundoyin Adebo, and all lovers of democracy to call Mr Fakorede to order.

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
