My attention was drawn to statement creditted to the suspended former Chairman of PDP in Ogun state where in he claims that the crisis that engulfed Ogun PDP was because the Distinguished Senator Buruji Kashamu was poise to use me as the next state chairman
Ordinarily, one would have waved off this allegation as a rants from a political miscreant or one coming from the warped mind of one possibly numbed by high COVID-19 fever. But as known in these parts, a lie repeatedly told, has a way of transmuting to the truth thus a response to clear this dangerous allegations is therefore a child of necessities
AT 75 YEARS OF AGE , ENGR BAYO DAYO , THE SUSPENDED FORMER STATE CHAIRMAN OF PDP REMAINS A LIAR .
Normally,one should expect a 75 yrs old individual to be able to try for the sake of his dignity to restrain himself from telling lies that are hellish and totally nauseating.
I view this lies and propaganda as a prelude LADI ADEBUTU effort to use Engr Bayo Dayo as a smoke screen to silence me perpetually in death as the Man who hated me with world record hatred is no one than Hon LADI ADEBUTU
For Engr Bayo Dayo ,a new political stooge to Hon LADI ADEBUTU to deliberately add my person to PDP’s political disputes is so much disappointing.
At this point , I must put some facts on record :
I am Comrade Arabambi ABAYOMI.( The Ogburu – gburu 1) of Ogun State , the immediate past Chairman of IPAC (Ogun State Chapter) and the sitting undisputed State Chairman of Ogun State LP.
I visited you base on your invitation on a peace mission at Ijebu Igbo and meet with Aare Remilekun Bakare whom you also invited separately and we spent over 4 hours with you . You were even magnanimous enough to entertain us with two chilled bottles of Coca-Cola.
It was also true that you told us that Sir Kenshington Adebutu promise you #100 million (one hundred million Naira) with an upfront payment of #20 million Naira (twenty million Naira) to betrayed Sen Buruji Kashamu so that LADI ADEBUTU can have political platform to run and defeat the incumbent Governor Dapo Abiodun in 2023
However , you told us that you have not collected the 20m advance money from his Son LADI ADEBUTU
Meanwhile ,it is a blatant lie to claim that we offered you the sum of #10 million Naira ( Ten million Naira) , on Sunday 5th day of April 2020 so that you could sign the result of the Ogun PDP State Congress that you by yourself sought and got my assistance in handling the Administrative issues involved in the conduct of your party ward ,Local Govt and State Congress after the defection of Alh Semiu Shodipo to the Adebutu camp
It is now very clear that considering the very recent happenings and your press release that you lied through your teeth against myself and Aare Remi Bakare. From the benefit of hindsight , it is clear and obvious that you have collected the #20 million Naira or perhaps the entire N100m you told us Sir Keshingtin Adebutu offered you to destroyed your benefactor (SEN BURUJI KASHAMU) Political dynasty
You are aware that you have nothing to offer Hon Ladi Adebutu as a former State Chairman of Ogun PDP , except simply as Engr Bayo Dayo.
Let me for a while slow down to have a closer look at the complex deceptive game you are trying to play with Hon Ladi Adebutu to scam his father , the highly respected Odole of Yorubaland through lying by claiming that the party structures in your hand will automatically be made available and administrable to Hon Ladi Adebutu to forward his mirage of an aspiration .
Between me and you and God , you Engr Bayo Dayo is aware that the no – existent party structures you are waiving at Lado still completely remain under Senator Buruji Kasham .
Let me quickly talk about your press release of lies .
Rather than you repeating what you told myself and Aare in your house , you allowed yourself to lie shamelessly at your age to claim that it was Senator Buruji Kasham that refused to buy into the reconciliation efforts. You know that you told us by yourself that you have divided the State Exco offices into 3 , that you have conceded ,40% to Hon Ladi Adebutu and his group while you have given 30% to Prince Buruji Kashamu group and another 30% to another political group that you did not named
You will recollect that Aare immediately countered by reminding you that you lack the capacity to go into alliance or reconciliation with any other group or persons without the expressed authority of your executives.
Again I once again want to emphasize on the fact that on our peace – seeking visit to your house , we did not offer you any money , and definitely we didn’t offer you #10 million Naira.
But most worrisome and a very big shame is your statement that day that are you not going to move up after your tenure as state Chairman. So you could because of the promise of been given a National executive position in PDP betrayed your benefactor. Honestly I am disappointed
As a parent myself , I must once again remind you that having listened to both your full side of the story and also on the side of Senator Buruji Kasham , one may not be too fair if I fail to caution you to tarry a little and not to be in a hurry to destroy your own biological son BOLA whom you accused Sen Kashamu of paying him stipend of N200k as salary that is not worthy or commensurate with the level and status of your Son
You also claimed that Sen Buruji Kashamu has by that payment of the N200k stipends to BOLA your son is an attempt to destroyed the boy future since he can’t achieved or made anything in life with such an amount

On 5th of April also in your house , you told both Aare and myself that you are aware that your son built a house for himself but that you have not been there , you also told me in the presence of Aare Bakare that your son single handedly constructed the #500million Naira gigantic project of Omo Ilu Foundation complex at Ijebu Igbo with all the major contractors that were personal friends of your son.
You voluntarily told us that your son have a petrol station to his name , that your son also has a big farm in his name and you at the end justified the obvious existence of stealing by your son in the line of duties that it is not a bad idea for your son to make enough money and siphon as much money as he could from where he is working and trusted with your influence.

Your Son BOLA DAYO is the owner of the N215m mansion constructed with Italian marbles and situated at plot 19, HAMONY AVENUE, KASUMU ESTATE, PHASE 3 AREA 2 IBADAN OYO STATE. The picture is of a high class mansion your son built by funds and materials diverted from the Omo Ilu Foundation complex projects including very expensive marbles as depicted in this pictures. All of the above including very classy cars are some of the things your son had under Senator Buruji Kasham. A man who saw and knew of your son’s theft but chose to keep quiet for your sake.

I shall here again remind you , Engr Bayo Dayo that in our peace meeting with you in your house , I told you a story of how Hon Ladi Adebutu deliberately worked very hard to pin a lie on me to the effect that he gave me a huge amount for to a political woman heavy weight in Abeokuta North and one other person to the tune of N56m . I have a living witness to attest to this nonsensically nonsence allegations that occurred in his iperu home
On this background , you will also recollect that I told you that I have instructed my lawyers to write a formal petition against Hon Ladi Adebutu for his serial death threats to my life over the missing N56m
My candid piece of advice is that you should think very deeply before you finally take the leap that will eventually turn catastrophic to your you and your family’s
Finally , Engr Bayo Dayo , could it be considered intelligent to seal a sincere and lasting relationship with a man who has been in political and judicial battles with and that you even assisted in wasting tons of money for , with the attendant humiliation and pains just a few years back ?.
Is it not very cheap and gullible for a 75 years old unrepentant hustler to allow selfishness, greed and treachery to push him this very far away from wisdom at the risk and expense of his family well being ?.
Mark my words Sir , there shall be regrets , frustration , sadness and loads of unceasing gnashing of teeth at the end of the path you have chosen to thread.
This attempt at trying to pretend at coming to equity with soiled and bloodied hands shall only result in one thing …grief.
I wish to conclude with a prophesy that the fluke alliance you are hopelessly hope to build is hopeless and shall collapse too quickly for you to comprehend and I hope you and your new found treacherous LADI ADEBUTU might not in the be isolalated politically after the on coming heavy political defeat that’s looming
Lastly may it be clear to the security agencies and the good people of Ogun state that should anything untoward to my life , I put it at the door steps of Hon LADI ADEBUTU

In a world where the bonds of love and faith should transcend earthly judgments, Alhaja Enitanwa Muibat Lanre Shittu finds herself battling not only for justice but for the affirmation of her dignity and place within her late husband’s legacy.
Alhaja Enitanwa, the widow of renowned business mogul Lanre Shittu, faces an overwhelming injustice as she appeals a ruling by the Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court. This court dismissed her case by claiming it lacked the jurisdiction to do so.
This judgment, for Alhaja Enitanwa, represents a painful contradiction. The Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court had been specially designated to hear cases rooted in Islamic law—a foundation of faith and tradition that defined her marriage to her beloved husband. How, then, can this same court deny its duty to preside over the case she brings forward, a case so deeply tied to her faith and rightful place within her family?
At the heart of her appeal is a plea for recognition, not only for herself but for every Muslim woman whose rights are meant to be upheld by the legal protections guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution. Her counsel, Barrister Kayode Ademiluyi, stresses that this Constitution embraces Sharia law as a personal and protected path for Muslims, enshrining the rights of individuals like Alhaja Enitanwa to have their marital bonds honored by the law.
The Customary Court Law of Lagos State further cements these rights. By law, designated courts are empowered to adjudicate in matters of Islamic law—marriage, divorce, and family bonds. Yet, for reasons unknown, the Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court has chosen to ignore this mandate, casting aside the deeply personal matter Alhaja Enitanwa brought to its doors.
She seeks more than validation; she seeks justice. For Alhaja Enitanwa, this appeal is an urgent call for the court to correct a decision that, in its oversight, has left her in limbo, questioning the very foundations of her marriage and her place within a family she holds dear.
Her appeal will journey through the Customary Court of Appeal, a court of immense authority, with the power to oversee customary law matters. Here, the court will have the solemn duty to interpret her case in the spirit of fairness, upholding the principles of religious and personal freedoms granted under Nigerian law. Alhaja Enitanwa’s case is not just about her suffering but about restoring the dignity of every Muslim woman who looks to the law to honour her faith and protect her rights.
Let us remember that at the heart of this case lies a woman—a mother, a widow—whose only desire is to protect the bond she shared with her late husband and to honour the life they built together under Islamic law. Alhaja Enitanwa’s struggle resonates far beyond her plight; it is a struggle for justice, for the rights of Muslim women, and for the values enshrined in the law.
