Oyo LG Crisis: We are Ready To Pursue The Case In Court Against ALGON -Oyo Govt |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Oyo State government under the leadership of Engineer Seyi Makinde has
said that the same ALGON which proposed the out-of-court settlement in the first instance is turning around to grandstand on the issue. The government stated that their action is a disservice to the good people of Oyo State.

According to the statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Taiwo Adisa "Our attention has been drawn to the statement credited to the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) on the state of the suit between that association and the government of Oyo State.
The said statement by ALGON insinuated that its rejection of the peace terms by the counsel to Oyo State was based on the belief in anti-corruption war.
"Let it be accordingly stated that the government of Oyo State is ready to pursue its case in court against ALGON.
"The decision by the state to pursue the path of peace on the council issue is well thought out, especially following credible information that some forces are seeking to use misguided politicians to trouble the peace of the state.
"The decision of the government on the local government matter was largely informed by the spirit of magnanimity and the feeling that every stakeholder in the suit is an indigene of the state.
"Whatever was proposed by the Oyo State counsel was in accordance with the standard practice in negotiations and are defensible in law.

"We, however, await the date in court when all issues would be laid bare."

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...
