 The Chairman of the Ogun Community Development Association (CDA) criticizes tell Governor Abiodun for the rice palliative, asserting that they are not in a position of begging.

A man who claims to be the chairman of  Shokeye Community Development Area in Ogun State has slammed Governor Dapo Abiodun over the distribution of palliatives in the state.


In a video now trending on social media, he is seen with a branded bag palliative, which, according to him, contains rice for 147 households in Shokeye Estate.


He said, "I was just at home when they brought this for me as palliative for the whole of Shokeye Estate. In this estate, we have 147 houses with families and tenants.


"I'm confused now; I don't know how to share this with 147 households in Shokeye Estate.


"I'm talking to Dapo Abiodun now; if you people know that you cannot do something, then don't do it.


"We are not hungry; we are not beggars. So we don't need your rice as  palliative. This is not even up to one-eight of a bag of rice.


"We don't need this rice; if you want to give us palliatives, don't insult us. This is an insult. Shokeye Estate refuses to be insulted."

  A Message of Gratitude and Clarification from Usman Okai Austin I sincerely thank you all for your prayers and support. Many of you visited me during my time in Kabba prison, and I deeply appreciate your kindness. The journey from Kabba to Abuja has given me a new perspective on the significance of this experience. For those who couldn’t visit in person, your messages and protests spoke volumes. Your voices sent a strong message, and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you. To those who think that my return means I will compromise or decamp to support a bad government—let me be clear: That will never happen! I remain committed to the values of justice, accountability, and good governance. My experience has only strengthened my resolve to stand with the people and fight for what is right.

Natasha is Fighting Back Strongly Against Her Recall Effort

  Natasha is Fighting Back Strongly Against Her Recall Effort The recall campaign against Natasha has encountered a significant challenge.  The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of Nigeria has officially stated that the group spearheading the recall process, known as the Kogi Central Political Frontier, is not a registered entity. This revelation raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the petition submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). If the organization behind the recall is not legally recognized, how did INEC proceed with accepting their petition without verifying their registration status? With this development, the validity of the recall process is in question, and it appears that the petition may be fundamentally flawed from the start. Given this situation, legal and political analysts are beginning to scrutinize INEC’s role in the process.  Many are asking whether due diligence was carried out before accepting the petition. If ...
