'An Epitome of Peace And Royalty' - Dasuki Mourns Soun Ogbomoso


 


Sokoto state Commissioner of Finance, Hon. Abdussamad Dasuki, has described the demise of  Oba Oladunni Oyewumi Ajagungbade as a huge loss to the nation.

Extolling the virtues of the late monarch, Dasuki stressed that the late traditional ruler was a rallying point for his contemporaries and the younger generation, adding that his reign brought robust development to Ogbomosoland and environs.

The San Turaki of Sokoto who was accompanied by his brother, Prince Buhari Dasuki, Managing Director of Sokoto State Investment Company, made these remarks during a condolence visit to the family of the late monarch in Ogbomoso on Sunday.

He said, “We commiserate with the people of Ogbomosoland over the demise of Alaiyeluwa Oba Oladunni Oyewumi Ajagungbade- 20th Soun of Ogbomosoland.

“I recall the moments I shared with Kabiyesi during his 90th birthday a few years ago.

“Baba was a father to all regardless of ethnic and  tribal differences.

“He was an epitome of peace and royalty.

” We will miss his objective counsel on national issues.

“However, we are happy that he left behind worthy legacies for leaders at all levels to emulate.”

Dasuki prayed to Allah to give the Oyewumi family the fortitude to bear the loss and grant the late monarch Al- Jannah Firdaus.

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...
