2019: Kogi East rallies behind Victor Adoji for Senate

Published

on

The people of Kogi East Senatorial District are in for a brighter future in 2019 and beyond as Dr. Victor Alewo Adoji, renowned technocrat throws the hat in the ring for the 2019 senatorial elections. Dr. Adoji is gearing to represent the senatorial district at the National Assembly. Already, there have been wild excitements everywhere you go as the electorates believe Adoji’s representation will be a sign of good things coming to the senatorial district.

Those spoken to said they were already heaving sighs of relief even though he has not yet won the seat, as they believe in the capabilities of Dr. Adoji to turn things around at Kogi East.

Dr. VAA, as he his fondly called, is regarded as a generous man, who has affected many lives both in the state and in other parts of the country. His aspiration to contest for Kogi East Senatorial District of the state is borne out of his zeal to enhance development in the state.

It was gathered that unlike some rich men who spend their money only where business relationships and connections can be fostered, Dr. Victor is noted for his generosity especially to those exposed to the scotching heat of poverty and wretchedness.

A Kogite, who gave his name as Johnson, stated that Dr. Victor gives to those who can hardly afford three-square meals.

“Now what does this mean to a rational Kogite? Of course, it portrays Dr VAA as a true definition of cordial relationship between the rich and the poor, the low and the mighty.

“Victor, as a genuine Christian, understands that whatever God gives him is for the benefit of mankind.

“Apart from these, identifying with the poor and the vulnerable shows his staunch belief and strict adherence to equality.

“He believes that all of us are equal irrespective of religion and social differences,” the Kogite said.

Investigations revealed that Dr VAA’s humane formula is a proof that he is a talent hunter, and that he seeks and invests hugely in uncommon, but dying talents among Kogites, particularly those of Igala extraction.

Commenting on the philanthropist, one Oluwasegun from the state revealed that he received calls from employees, whose fortune had been changed dynamically by Adoji, adding that such people are currently meeting their daily needs conveniently from their various employment.

He said: “Without apology, Dr. VAA’s benevolence cannot be over-emphasized, even those sponsoring criticism against him know.

“Yet, some paid hooligans mischievously insinuated that Dr VAA hates anyone who is succeeding.

“They even went further to cite the example of an Igala guy, who suddenly became Victor’s arch-enemy because he is studying in the UK. Well, let me apologise for being unable to find a word that could best describe the sponsors of these lies from the pit of hell.”

A source in the state said that for posterity sake, Dr. Victor Adoji’s senatorial aspiration symbolises a revolution from hardship to abundance, darkness to light; political bondage to freedom amongst other numerous benefits that would accrue to the people once he gets into office.

He added that contrary to some ‘psychopathic insinuations’ that Dr. VAA was seeking riches and worldly connections with his ambition, his victory at the polls will lead to an era of transparency and accountability.

According to him, it will be the beginning of giving true dividends of democracy to the people, and that it will be a time when a leader will be accessible to the electorates.

“Kogi East Senatorial District happens to have produced the largest local government in West Africa (Dekina), yet it hasn’t witnessed any tangible development due to poor representation in the legislature.

“Hence, there is an urgent need for the right technocrat to be in charge of legislation in the district to present bills and motions in an appropriate manner for the benefit of the constituents.

“Dr. Adoji has demonstrated his capacity in these areas. He has participated fully in the duty of uniting Igalas.

“He has put strategies and suggestions forward to the betterment of our people both at home and abroad.

“Ufedo, Udama Unyogba Ane Igala, an Abuja based NGO, testified to this when it made Dr. VAA chairman at one of its annual conferences. Members of Igala Association, USA were also living witnesses when Dr. Victor served as one of the dignitaries that graced their gathering few years back.

“Dr VAA’s message has been no to nepotism, marginalisation, self-centeredness, social and ethnic differences. As a matter of fact, Victor is the ladder which the people of Kogi East should climb for socio economic and political revolution,” he said.

We were informed that the battle for a better Kogi East Federal Constituency will not be won with politicos and politicking, but with purposeful, visionary candidature with well-defined attributes both intellectually and politically.

A concerned resident of the senatorial district, who simply gave his name as Jacob, said that “just as an African democratic hero puts it; I am sick and tired of the crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of those, who consider themselves my lords and masters, I want a full menu of rights.

“It is far beyond the loyalty syndrome or the crumbs of compassion mentality. The election will not be won by politics of cluelessness. But it will be won by a man with a core Godly mindset with genuine and qualitative leadership attributes.

“This is where Dr. Victor Alewo Adoji belongs as the most credible candidate for the highly demanding assignment. He has laudable achievements of immeasurable value to his credit. Above all, his life personifies an act of Godliness, which gives a leader an opportunity to serve well,” Jacob added.

We were told that Dr. Victor Alewo Adoji’s mission and vision towards Kogi East Senatorial Districts could be described as that of Moses, who was sent by God to lead the Isrealites to their Promised Land (Cannan).

It was learned that his huge investment in Igala sons’ and daughters’ academic career shows a greater light on the horizon for the confluence city.

“So, let’s see it beyond sentiment and stipends with which our destiny is always exchanged and vote Dr. VAA as the people’s senator in 2019. His campaign, which will commence shortly, is a moving train that will hold sway on every nooks and crannies of Kogi East.

“Hence, people of like minds must join this train to vote out poverty, hunger, bad road and other issues that have threatened our very existence as a people,” said a Kogite, Mr. Oluwanisola.

“As a bonafide indigene of Dekina LGA, I know the general language when it comes to infrastructural development.

“Our people are used to the dilapidated state of roads, electricity, water and other social amenities. In fact, as economically viable as the land is, no tangible developmental project has been done in the area over the years.

“Therefore, if there is anything called struggle for a better Kogi Eastern Senatorial district, that alone I am willing to shed my blood for because my root and the people of the area have fallen victims severally to economic and political misrepresentation,” Victor Adoji was quoted to have said at a gathering recently.

A Kogite, who was reacting to an article written by Mr. John Paul with the title, “Dr Victor Alewo Adoji is a star in the Darkened skies” testified to Dr. VAA’s generosity this way ; “Bros thank you for that wonderful piece. I owe everything I am presently to God and Dr Adoji.

“I lost my dad when I was in SSS two and after writing my SSCE, I lost hope of going to the university.

“So, I started living the normal guy life. But on that memorable morning, I was in the church (United Evangelical Church) playing the musical instrument as usual, when I met Dr. Adoji.

“After the people had given offering, Dr. Victor asked me publicly about what I was doing for a living. I told him I had been writing JAMB for four years now, but that I was unable to secure admission due to financial constraint.

“Behold! The man of God said to me that God told him to see me through the university. Right now, I am in 300 level in the university. We are about 10 students in my school that are being sponsored by Dr. VAA.”

Another Kogite, a Muslim-turned-Christian lady from Ogun State, said that she was subjected to constant torture by her very dedicated Muslim, but poor family, for accepting Jesus Christ.

The lady stated that she was actually able to complete her secondary school education with the help of the presiding minister in her local church before the pastor was transferred from Ogun State to Lagos State.

She however, said that her story changed completely the day she visited the pastor and his family in Lagos, where she met Dr. VAA, who she said later gave her scholarship for her university education.

Our investigations revealed further that Dr. Victor Alewo Adoji has all the qualities to represent his people at the red chamber and that he would do his best to attract more developments to the senatorial district in four years.

Dr. Victor Adoji was born on 29thMay 1917. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Jos, and master’s degrees in economics, Business Administration with bias in Corporate Strategy from Bayero University, Kano, and another master’s degree in Entrepreneurship from the ITTL-DRC, University of Phoenix, USA. Adoji also obtained a PhD in credit Management.

He is a fellow of Institute of Credit Administration (FICA) and an International Certified Credit Fellow (ICCF). He is a member of several professional and academic bodies in Nigeria and beyond. He has won numerous awards over the years in recognition of his meritorious and excellent.

He was deputy editor, the business section of the Northern-based Concern magazine and joined the services of Zenith Bank Plc in 2000.

The Orchestration Against Aisha Achimugu: A Classical Betrayal of Justice, Womanhood, and Nationhood..

The Orchestration Against Aisha Achimugu: A Classical Betrayal of Justice, Womanhood, and Nationhood..

The Orchestration Against Aisha Achimugu: A Classical Betrayal of Justice, Womanhood, and Nationhood..

 

Nigeria is at a critical crossroads, one that challenges not just the nation’s political integrity but its very identity. This crisis is not marked by war or famine, but by a deep and troubling internal issue that questions the fairness of the judicial system and the moral foundation of the country. At the heart of this is the unjust persecution of Aisha Achimugu, a distinguished businesswoman, philanthropist, and symbol of Nigerian excellence.

 

The Orchestration Against Aisha Achimugu: A Classical Betrayal of Justice, Womanhood, and Nationhood..
Aisha Achimugu is far more than a businesswoman, she is a beacon of resilience and brilliance, an embodiment of Nigerian potential. Through her company, Felak Concept Group, Aisha has made significant contributions in engineering, consultancy, and maritime innovation. Her work has led to job creation, policy reform, and environmental sustainability, all within industries that are traditionally dominated by men.

 

Aisha’s achievements stand as a testament to her determination to break barriers and her unwavering commitment to national progress.
Yet, despite her immense contributions to Nigeria’s development, Aisha has faced an appalling injustice. Instead of being celebrated, she has been met with public slander, a red poster of accusations, and the denial of a fair trial. Even when she was summoned, Aisha was abroad and was deprived of the dignity of due process.

 

 

Where is the fairness in this? Where is the compassion for a single mother, a widow, and a woman whose achievements have enriched the nation? The answer is clear: it is absent.
Aisha Achimugu is not just a business mogul, she is a cherished figure beloved across the country for her character, diplomacy, and generosity. She has bridged political, ethnic, and religious divides, always putting Nigeria’s best interests first. She was awarded two oil block by the Nigerian government not as a favor, but as recognition of her competence and ability. This honor was bestowed not out of nepotism, but because of trust in her capabilities.

 

If Aisha were truly guilty of any wrongdoing, how did the same government that honored her with two oil block suddenly turn against her? The question is, if she were truly guilty, why are others equally implicated in Nigeria’s systemic corruption not facing the same public scrutiny?

 

Aisha is not a woman who seeks attention. She has earned her place at the table through hard work and a proven track record. Her impact on national development, her mentorship, and her philanthropy have created a profound legacy. Her reputation is built on her accomplishments not rumors or politically motivated attacks. Yet, her brilliance seems to have become a threat to those driven by personal insecurity and political motives.

 

Mr. President, this is not a victory in the fight against corruption, it is a manipulation of the system driven by envy, personal vendettas, and political maneuvering. If the justice system were truly functioning, why does only one woman’s image appear on a red poster while countless others implicated in corruption continue unchecked? The answer lies in the political machinations at play.

 

You were elected to restore hope and deliver justice for all Nigerians—not to preside over selective justice. When justice becomes partial, hope dies. And when hope dies, the very soul of the nation is at risk.

 

This fight is not just for Aisha, it is for the future of the nation. To the youth, women, civil society, the diaspora, and all those who long for a better Nigeria this fight is yours too. If they can silence someone as influential and accomplished as Aisha, they can silence any of us. If they can slander her with no trial, what will happen to the rest of us who lack the power or connections to fight back?

 

This is a battle for the soul of Nigeria. It is a fight to ensure that no Nigerian regardless of their gender, status, or background ever faces injustice. We cannot remain passive while one of the country’s finest is destroyed by political manipulation.

 

We must demand that Aisha’s case be heard in a court of law, not through media headlines or WhatsApp groups. The truth must be brought to light through a transparent and fair process, not through politically motivated attacks. If the justice system truly works, let it be demonstrated in action, not in orchestrated public campaigns.

 

A nation that allows one of its daughters to be humiliated without due process undermines its own future. This issue is not merely about gender, it is about the character of the nation itself. Aisha Achimugu has not shied away from accountability; she is ready to face any legitimate inquiry, but only in a system that is just and fair. What she will not accept—and what we must not allow is for her to be victimized by individuals who fear the strength of an independent woman.

Enough is enough. The time for action is now.

We are watching.
Justice for Aisha is Justice for Nigeria.

Correctional Centre Breaks Silence on Detained Staff Linked to Patience Jonathan

Correctional Centre Breaks Silence on Detained Staff Linked to Patience Jonathan

Nigerian Correctional Service Denies Allegations of Illegal Detention of Patience Jonathan’s Ex-Staff in Bayelsa

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Bayelsa State Command, has firmly denied reports alleging that 15 former domestic staff of Nigeria’s former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, are being held illegally at the Okaka Medium Security Custodial Centre.

In a strongly worded statement issued on Sunday, the facility’s spokesperson, Isari Gbosi Tombara, described the viral reports as false, misleading, and a deliberate attempt to “tarnish the good image” of the correctional system.

“The rumour purporting that the former First Lady has detained these individuals since 2019 for theft, and that she held a closed-door meeting with top correctional officials, is entirely unfounded,” Tombara stated.

Context of the Case: Gold Theft Allegations and 18-Count Charge

The individuals in question have been in custody since 2019 in connection with the alleged theft of gold jewellery, electronics, and home appliances reportedly valued at ₦200 million. They face an 18-count charge including conspiracy to commit murder, burglary, and other felonies.

According to court records cited in the NCoS statement, the accused were legally remanded by High Court 1 of Bayelsa State and have been appearing for trial regularly.

“They were in court on March 10 and 11, and again on April 3, 2025, when the matter was adjourned to April 17,” the correctional service noted, emphasizing that the inmates’ fundamental human rights have not been violated.

No Meeting With Patience Jonathan, Officials Insist

The command also dismissed claims of a secret meeting between Patience Jonathan and custodial officers, calling the reports “a concoction” aimed at stirring public sentiment and sowing distrust.

“For the avoidance of doubt, no such meeting ever occurred. These inmates were remanded legally and are being held in accordance with the law,” Tombara emphasized.

He added that no individual can be held without a valid court-issued remand warrant, reinforcing that Okaka remains one of the most peaceful correctional facilities in the country.

Maintaining Standards Amid Public Scrutiny

The NCoS reiterated its commitment to the safe, humane custody and rehabilitation of inmates, in line with national correctional protocols and under the directive of Acting Controller-General of Corrections, Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche.

“We urge the public to disregard such sensationalist reports, which are not only inaccurate but aimed at destabilizing a system that is already functioning within the rule of law,” the statement concluded.

Background

Rumors began circulating earlier this month suggesting that the 15 individuals were being detained indefinitely on the orders of the former First Lady, who allegedly accused them of theft during her time in office. The claims quickly went viral, prompting public outcry and scrutiny over the role of influential figures in the justice system.

As the case continues, all eyes will remain on the Bayelsa judiciary and correctional system for further developments.

Burna Boy’s ‘Lamborghini’ Diss Track Ignites Firestorm Online

Burna Boy’s ‘Lamborghini’ Diss Track Ignites Firestorm Online

Burna Boy’s ‘Lamborghini’ Diss Track Ignites Firestorm Online After Viral Preview

LAGOS, NIGERIA — Grammy award-winning singer Burna Boy is once again dominating headlines and timelines after previewing his fiery new diss track titled “Lamborghini”—a bold response to the controversy involving Lagos-based socialite, Sophia Egbueje.

The artist, known for his genre-defying sound and outspoken persona, shared a snippet of the unreleased track during a club appearance, where he was seen dancing with visible excitement as the song blared through the speakers. The moment was captured in a now-viral video, triggering an avalanche of online reactions and debates over the song’s message and intent.

The track appears to be a direct clapback at Egbueje, who earlier accused Burna Boy in a leaked audio of promising—but failing—to gift her a Lamborghini. The clip sparked days of gossip and speculation across social media. In response, Burna Boy took the drama a step further by debuting the diss track live during a music concert in Kenya, drawing both applause and criticism.


From Club to Concert Stage: Diss Track Goes Global

The “Lamborghini” performance has since gone global, with fans and critics dissecting every line for hidden jabs and lyrical shade. While Burna Boy hasn’t officially addressed the situation beyond the music, his actions speak volumes—and the timing of the track’s preview suggests a calculated media moment.

Mixed Reactions: “Where’s the Substance?”

Reactions to the preview have been divided, with some fans praising the energy of the track, while others questioned the depth of the lyrics—especially in light of Burna Boy’s previous comments on the lack of substance in today’s music.

“After this one, he’ll still say other people’s music has no substance—meanwhile he’s singing ‘dem dey for there’,” one user, Ghost Boy, commented.

Ejimo echoed the sentiment, stating: “Burna said in an interview that most songs have no meaning. I wonder what this song is about.”

Some fans, however, were more amused than critical. “All of them pass the vibes 😁,” wrote God Pikin, seemingly unbothered by the controversy.

Others, like Imere, were less forgiving: “This song is the worst from any artist in the history of Nigeria. One day, outsiders will tell Burna the truth.”

The Bigger Picture: PR Stunt or Artistic Expression?

With “Lamborghini”, Burna Boy once again blurs the line between personal drama and artistic expression. Some industry watchers believe the move is a strategic PR play designed to generate buzz ahead of a new project. Others argue it’s a genuine expression of frustration from an artist unwilling to remain silent when dragged into gossip.

Either way, Burna Boy has succeeded in reclaiming the narrative—turning scandal into spectacle.

As fans await the full release of “Lamborghini”, one thing is clear: whether you love him or loathe him, Burna Boy knows how to stay at the center of the conversation.
