By Idowu Ajanaku While it is quite understandable that within the political matrix, forces- both fratricidal and forward-looking- play themselves out for either self-aggrandizement or for selfless and patriotic reasons, open hatred, deep contempt, or even intense disdain for political leaders bypolitical jobbers should be firmly predicated on unimpeachable facts and figures. Certainly not fixated on parochial sentiments. Unfortunately, itis against this dark backdrop that an unbiased response to the recent article titled: “Aiyedatiwa’s years of the locusts” couched with vile vituperation, casting undeserved aspersions on Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s person comes into view. Such sordid sentiment reminds one of a…

By Femi Ogbonnikan The 2027 general election in Nigeria is shaping up to be a highly competitive contest, with voters increasingly prioritizing competence over blind partisanship.In Ogun State, the current climate signals a shift towards achievement-based support, transcending traditional party lines.

From cradle, Ajantala was chaos, chaos was Ajantala. In his…
