Olopoeyan, who has been the overall leader and the face of NNPP in the Southwest zone, is said to be the major financial of the party in Oyo state.

Want To Get First Let us admit first and foremost that it’s shameful that not up to two years after the 2023 disastrous Yakubu Mahmood organised “technical glitch infested” presidential election, the cry is loud from a lot of quarters about which section should produce the next President of Nigeria. It shows that most of these idle politicians do not have a second address. Even where some of them worked previously in some other capacities in some other businesses, they normally do not venture back to such businesses after being exposed to the illicit corrupt money that corrupt politicians acquire while in power in Nigeria. Little wonder Aristotle said that appetite for material things and other self-centered desires tend to pervert office holders. They can no longer be used to the gradual incremental nature of the profit from genuine business enterprise. They will rise and die as politicians and probably go to hell for their atrocities. Aristotle opined that man when perfected, is the ...

Reacting to these endorsements, Lagos PDP spokesperson Hakeem Amode dismissed the idea, stating, “Lagos will not serve him.” He criticised the notion of governance being treated as a family inheritance and warned that any attempt to impose Seyi Tinubu as governor would face strong resistance. “Governorship is not a gift,” Amode told Punch, emphasising that Lagosians had already shown their disapproval of the Tinubu political dynasty during the last presidential election by voting against President Tinubu. Amode reiterated that many Lagosians rejected Tinubu during the presidential election, a signal that they would not support his son’s governorship aspirations. Source : Vanguard News

As we remember Alhaji Lam Adesina today, I find myself reflecting on the profound impact he has had on the lives of many, both as a leader and as a mentor. His legacy is deeply rooted in the history of Oyo State and in the hearts of all who admired his dedication, wisdom, and undying love for the people. Chief Lam was an Icon of democratic values, someone who fearlessly confronted oppression and stood up for justice in Nigeria’s toughest times. Serving as the governor of Oyo State from 1999 to 2003, Alhaji Lam demonstrated what it means to govern with integrity and compassion. He was not only a leader but a “Friend of the Masses” a title he rightfully earned by prioritizing the welfare of the people above all else. His administration championed improvements in education, health, and rural development, initiatives that brought tangible change to the lives of Oyo residents. His commitment to providing accessible education and healthcare, along with his work to uplift rural communities, w...
