Published

People of Edo state need to understand that there is only one person that matches in the forthcoming gubernatorial— he is the most preferable man out of all the aspirants.

This choicest man is Engr. Chris Osa Ogiemwonyi. He is competent and remarkably sincere to govern Edo with fairness, equality, freedom, unbiased, transparency and loyalty to the people of the state. Calling him with these nouns mean he is the noun which means a noun is the name of anything or place. Engr. Chris, is the man that can wear the crown.

In no doubt, Edo state politics has been in brouhaha for some time now but the man who is fondly called ‘’ Mr. Local Content ‘’ can govern the state in a way that every denizen will enjoy the dividend of democracy without any imposition. Well, if we’re to talk about a cerebral man that has people at heart; Engr. Chris Ogeimwonyi is the man with the charisma and trustworthiness.

As a leader, people’s respect is utmost. Therefore, this particular attribute is what you will see in him because he is not corrupt or a dubious politician. He hasn’t been charged for any corrupt case by the anti-graft agencies even when he was the, Group Executive Director, GED of NNPC and former Minister of state for works, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Having this man in Edo state house means a lot due to his exposure and intelligence to understand the people’s expectations; and with him, nothing stops Edo state to be the fastest-growing revenue. He knows what to give the populace in terms: security, modern development and education because he always demonstrates the fear of God in his conduct and relations with people.

Talking about an exemplary character who is passionate about moral principles, Engr. Chris is the man. He has the reference points for leadership in the land due to his blend of academic and professional training within and outside Nigeria. With no doubt, he is a household name, especially in Edo state, where he hails from and attended his educational institutions, and still serving his people compassionately.

Meanwhile, to become a leader is not just by saying, but it is by acting and proving it with excellence— and Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi has proved it with his 34 years of working experience in the oil and gas industry. And however, his name has equally appeared in the boardroom, public discourse, media space, and political space as an astute man who is committed to whatever he does. He is a consummate mentor and a generous philanthropist. Indeed, such is the incredible setting of a man who has the integrity to rule the people of Edo.

Engr. Ogiemwonyi is a colossal amongst his peers. He rose from a humble family background in Idumwebo village in Orhionmwhon local government area; with an enterprising dint of diligent, hard work, and following the divine patterns of fate and destiny.

Hence, to contest for a governorship position is beyond the favouritism of a political party or some stakeholders. It is absolutely for the rule of intent, to govern the state with pedigree and to also advance governance beyond just the government house and political tantrums. But it is to speak to the people with empathy and this is significant to Engr. Ogiemwonyi. He is the choicest candidate who understands the doggedness against hubris, nepotism, and cronyism.

As a grassroots politician, he knows what the people need and he is ready to serve them because he thinks about them always. He is resourceful. He knows the right thing to say at the right time. He is indeed the perfect man to give Edo the colour of brightness due to his courage and dedication as a public servant.

Engr. Ogeimwonyi is a quintessential man that can take Edo state to the next level. His journey as a politician is not by chance; he has tremendously worked his way as a resilient man whose admirers have always seen as the messiah to Edo state because he is sincere.

However, election comes and goes but a true man like Engr. Ogeimwonyi stays forever because he is ready to serve the people of Edo state in his capacity and to deliver his expectation and determine to bring modern development.

A leader is a person who laughs all the time and who listens and pays attention to public discourse and to embrace new idea and understand what the people need at every point in time— and this Engr. Chris Ogeimwonyi.

Lastly, people of Edo state, you have no choice than to vote this choicest man who is capable to deliver the state from the debacle of other politicians. He is the man who knows where the shoe itches in Edo governance. Let’s vote for him….Ogeimwonyi 2020.
Edo Deserves Ogiemwonyi.

Lagos Assembly Summons Lands Bureau over Allocations, Recurring Land-Related Issues

The Lagos State House of Assembly has summoned the state Lands Bureau to appear before it to provide clarity on previous allocations and recurring land-related issues. It also approved land compensation for communities where the state government acquired lands for public use.

At plenary last Thursday, the House adopted the recommendations of the Committee on Rules and Business on a petition titled “Application by Oriba Community in Epe Local Government to join in the petition of Ladaba Community” presented by Hon. Noheem Adams.

Lagos Assembly Summons Lands Bureau over Allocations, Recurring Land-Related Issues

Following the presentation of the report, the House unanimously adopted the recommendations as its resolution by asking the bureau to appear before it with proper documents to explain the status of lands acquired by the state. The committee also recommended that the bureau issue excision/allocation letters to the 68 affected communities, while their Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) should be ready within one month of the House’s resolution.

Members who lent their voices to the matter commended the committee for ensuring they got justice for the affected communities and suggested that their compensation should be increased from 20% to 25%.

In his summation, Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon.. (Dr.) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa acknowledged the need for increased compensation but noted that the state government has its plans. Particularly, he endorsed the allocation of 20% (2,000 hectares) of the 10,000 hectares acquired by the state government as compensation.

Speaker Obasa further recommended that the committee should collaborate with the Lands Bureau, Office of the State Surveyor General, and New Towns Development Authority for the effective implementation of the recommendations.

The Lagos State Lands Bureau is responsible for land administration and management. It oversees key activities such as land allocation, issuance of Certificates of Occupancy (C of O), land registration, and the management of state-owned lands.

Its primary goals include ensuring equitable and transparent land transactions, facilitating urban planning, and supporting economic development by maintaining an organized system of land ownership. The bureau also handles disputes related to land and implements policies to optimize land use while protecting public interests.

Oluremi Tinubu and Aisha Achimugu: A Bond Forged in Compassion, by Olabode Opeseitan

Oluremi Tinubu and Aisha Achimugu: A Bond Forged in Compassion, by Olabode Opeseitan

 

 

Two women with two distinct destinies. One, Oluremi Tinubu, Nigeria’s First Lady, is a political luminary and steadfast advocate for the marginalized. The other is Aisha Achimugu, a trailblazing entrepreneur who conquered the male-dominated oil and gas sector, yet wears her heart on her sleeve for humanity.

 

 

Oluremi Tinubu and Aisha Achimugu: A Bond Forged in Compassion, by Olabode Opeseitan 

 

Though their paths differ, their souls converge in two profound ways: an unyielding passion for women’s empowerment and a lifelong covenant with charity.

 

 

For Oluremi, empowering women and uplifting the vulnerable is not merely a mission—it’s her oxygen. From founding the New Era Foundation as Lagos’ First Lady to launching her Renewed Hope Initiative as Nigeria’s First Lady—a platform championing youth and girl-child education and spearheading transformative projects like the Community ICT Hub—she has turned biblical compassion into action. Her unalloyed commitment to charitable virtues shone brightly during the commissioning of the hub in Ibadan, a Federal Government collaboration under her RHI that bridges the digital divide for thousands, revealing a heart that beats for the forgotten.

 

 

 

In Aisha Achimugu, Oluremi unknowingly finds a kindred spirit. Aisha’s SAM Empowerment Foundation has illuminated the futures of countless Nigerian girls through scholarships, mentorship, and vocational training, transforming aspirations into tangible opportunities. Her compassion radiates beyond borders, driven by a pan-African vision to uplift communities wherever the need arises. Whether empowering women in Nigeria’s underserved regions or advocating for sustainable livelihoods across the continent, Aisha’s mantra—“When God has blessed you, be a blessing to others”— resounds in every act of service. From rebuilding lives shattered by poverty to fostering dignity through education, her golden heart has become a beacon of hope for Africa’s most vulnerable.

 

 

 

Yet, their journeys have not been without storms. Both women have endured savage media trials—unfairly judged, their reputations scrutinized. Society often forgets: behind the headlines are mothers, leaders, and humanitarians whose “crimes” are loving too fiercely and giving too generously. They are imperfect, as all humans are, but in their relentless generosity, they mirror the very best of what humanity can be.

 

 

 

To Oluremi and Aisha: Your resilience in the face of adversity is a testament to your unbreakable spirits. When cynics question your motives, remember the girls now coding in Ibadan’s ICT Hub, the mothers reclaiming their futures through vocational training, and the orphans who see you as their lifeline. Do not relent. For every life you touch—whether through education, healthcare, or the quiet restoration of dignity—a ripple of hope spreads. Your legacies are not etched in headlines but in healed hearts and transformed destinies.

 

 

We see you. We celebrate you. And we beg you: keep shining.

UNFOLDING STORY: FAKE NANS PRESIDENT ATIKU ISAH EXPOSED…

 

 

SOURCES CONFIRM SEYI TINUBU WILL INITIATE CRIMINAL DEFAMATION PROCEEDINGS.

 

 

Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu, has been falsely accused by a certain Atiku Abubakar Isah – a cleric associated with prominent political opposition figures, who fraudulently claimed to be the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), of leading armed men to disrupt a NANS inauguration event in Abuja and threatening his life.

 

UNFOLDING STORY: FAKE NANS PRESIDENT ATIKU ISAH EXPOSED…

 

Seyi Tinubu has categorically denied these allegations, labelling them as baseless and criminally defamatory. He stated, “Enough is enough with these fake stories and defamation of my character.”

 

Sources close to the event reported no evidence of Seyi Tinubu’s presence at the specific event venue or any prior interaction between the two men, and neither the hotel management nor law enforcement agencies confirmed any incident involving him. The hotel management has also clarified further, stating that there was no booking for a NANS event at their hotel.

 

Additionally, the legitimacy of Comrade Atiku Abubakar Isah’s claim to the NANS presidency has been questioned by the incumbent and immediate past NANS leadership, with some groups labelling him an impostor and others providing evidence to debunk Atiku Isah’s claims of ever meeting Seyi Tinubu.

 

The Nigerian President’s son is expected to pursue criminal defamation proceedings in the coming days.
