Sorunke Adetayo

There is palpable tension and apprehension within the camp of the former Governor of Ogun State and Senator -elect for Ogun East senatorial district, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, as members of the camp are sharply divided presently, over Daniel’s alleged integrity deficit.

Recall that several groups and critical stakeholders within the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the State had taken a swipe on the former Governor for what they termed as act of betrayal and gross anti-party activities, alleging that Daniel collected several billions of naira to sabotage the reelection bid of Governor Dapo Abiodun in the March 18th gubernatorial polls.

While some of his followers, who are presently in APC became worried and unsettled by the reactions of old members of the party who are now relating with them with suspicion and disdain, others were apprehensive of what the future holds for them in the new party, considering the atrocities perpetrated by their leader.

The crisis in the camp has degenerated to the extent that some key followers of Daniel have been subscribing to the thought that the original but covert agenda of the former Governor was to deceitfully secure the senatorial ticket of the APC, having realized the dwindled popularity of PDP and still work for Adebutu, after negotiating billions of naira for his tactical support.

These prominent members of the camp were seriously disappointed in Daniel, who they hitherto held in high esteem, but brazenly betrayed the trust for pecuniary purpose and self-aggrandizement.

A member of this cluster, who did not want his name in print complained bitterly about the future of their political careers and their fate in the APC, following the overwhelming allegations leveled against their boss in the party, with regards to the gubernatorial election in the State, he expressed regret for leaving PDP with Daniel, saying”, now we have been used and left to our fate by this dubious man.

“How on earth would a man of that caliber and political exposure allowed greed to subvert decency and integrity in him to the extent of betraying the party that rescued you from political oblivion because of money, can you imagine that? The man is a certified political jobber that doesn’t stand for anything, with readiness to fall for everything.

” He dubiously secured the APC ticket deceiving us that he had finally move to their fold meanwhile, he maintained his structure in PDP and used same to sabotage the efforts of APC members in some strategic places, especially, his senatorial district, after winning his election.

“No godly man behaves in that manner, it is only people without functional conscience that betray their benefactors in such a manner and in that magnitude, it really took us by surprise.

“Anyway, we are still watching how the pendulum will swing in the coming months, we want to see how APC in the State will handle his case and treat us , his followers, but one thing is certain, the old members of the party would never trust us again, based on the infraction committed by Daniel, it’s really painful, to say the least”, he submitted.

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
