Akala Deserves The Leadership Role In Oyo APC – Sunday Dare





 

The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, has thrown his weight behind the recently constituted Oyo APC Elders Advisory Council led by ex Governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala.



The minister, via his Verified Twitter Account said the first task of the Advisory Committee is to bring about normalcy by ensuring that the spirit of inclusivity is enshrined.


He added that former Governor Adebayo Alao Akala deserves the leadership role than any other person.


The tweets reads: “Oyo APC- the first Task of the Advisory Committee is to bring about normalcy by ensuring that the spirit of inclusivity is enshrined.


“I am not one to bury my head in the sand. No.  Let’s pay attention to the details of unification. Not gloss over them. That’s my point.


“I speak out because silence is not an option. As an investigative journalist and activist, I know that too well.


“I speak up because I want us to achieve genuine unity, not overnight unity that is not rooted. The rush to attack anyone not sharing your view can be disruptive…


“I have looked around.There is only one former governor in Oyo State APC. He deserves the leadership role. Almost a given. But he bears a huge responsibility- to be father to all.


 


“The Uniter. The Arbiter. The modern leader. Those that seek for him a different role do him great harm”

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...
