Ministerial slot: Ogun Central seeks equity, fairness from Tinubu

By Wale Coker, Ogun State Integrity Group

 

 

 

Integrity Group in Ogun has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to choose his Ministerial nominee from Ogun Central Senatorial District , saying anything against that might not go down well with the Leaders and Stakeholders of Ogun Central Senatorial District of the state.

 

 

 

 

 

It has become very imperative to bring to the attention of relevant stakeholders, the APC leadership, and most importantly, our revered leader and father, President Bola Tinubu GCFR, that for the sake of fairness, justice and equity Ogun Central Senatorial District should produce the next Minister from Ogun state.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The reasons are not far-fetched. Presently, Ogun East has the Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun, Ogun West has the Deputy Governor Noimot Salako-Oyedele. These are the two top executive positions.

 

 

 

 

 

The question then is Where is Ogun Central in this equation???. Moreover, when considered against the background of the fact that Ogun Central has the largest voting population. A whooping 56%!!!!

 

Ministerial slot: Ogun Central seeks equity, fairness from Tinubu

Below summarises the situation of things in the state with regards to the distribution of executive political positions in the 3 Senatorial Districts for 2003-2011, 2011-2019,
2019-2023 AND 2023-2027

2003-2011
OGUN EAST—IJEBU AND REMO—-GOVERNOR

OGUN WEST—- DEPUTY GOVERNOR

OGUN CENTRAL—- MINISTER

2011-2019
OGUN EAST- MINISTERS AND DEPUTY GOVERNOR

OGUN WEST-CHIEF OF STAFF

OGUN CENTRAL-GOVERNOR

2019 -2023
OGUN EAST-(IJEBU AND REMO)—-GOVERNOR

OGUN WEST-DEPUTY GOVERNOR

OGUN CENTRAL-MINISTER

2023-2027
OGUN EAST-IJEBU AND REMO— GOVERNOR

OGUN WEST- DEPUTY GOVERNOR

OGUN CENTRAL—NIL

It is, therefore, quite logical, reasonable, and politically expedient that the next Minister due to Ogun State should come from the Central District.

Ogun Central has eminent and highly qualified sons and daughters who are not only distinguished in their personal and professional lives but also worked assiduously for the party APC and President Tinubu in the last elections

Picking any Minister from Ogun East or West will amount to a total disequilibrium of the state’s political setup, which may not augur well for APC and our leader President Bola Tinubu who we all know to be an apostle of fairness. Also for political expediency, it should be noted that Ogun State is politically sophisticated as shown during the last Governorship election in the State when compared to the earlier presidential election.

Renewed Hope Ambassadors Shift to Grassroots Mobilisation Ahead of 2027

*Renewed Hope Ambassadors Step Into the Next Phase

 

Fresh from the successful APC 2026 National Convention, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National, Zonal, and State leadership gathered in Abuja over the weekend, for its fourth strategic meeting, setting the tone for nationwide grassroots activation ahead of 2027.

Chaired by Governor Hope Uzodinma (Imo State) the Director General and National Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, alongside Deputy Director-General, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, and Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State as Secretary, the session reinforced one clear direction: One Party. One Message. One Mobilization whilst also laying out a strategic roadmap for the activation of the network across all communities in Nigeria.

Backed by the strength of 31 APC-led states, the Renewed Hope Agenda is taking Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of progress and reform to every corner of Nigeria.

From bold economic restructuring to initiatives like NELFUND, the increase in the national minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, and strategic investments in critical sectors, including PNiCGI, the mission remains clear: helping Nigerians understand both the purpose and the progress of the Renewed Hope vision.

This is coordination at scale. This is grassroots engagement with purpose. This is the next phase of Renewed Hope with One Party, One Message, and One Mobilisation framework

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has finalized plans to receive Vice President Kashim Shettima for the formal defection and reception of Governor Dauda Lawal into the ruling party, scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

 

State APC Chairman, Tukur Danfulani Maikatako, disclosed this during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Gusau, the state capital. He noted that the Vice President would be joined by the party’s national leadership to mark what he described as a landmark political realignment in the state.

 

Maikatako expressed the party’s excitement over Governor Lawal’s return, recalling that Zamfara had historically been an APC stronghold and that the Governor was previously a bona fide member of the party before his earlier exit.

 

“We all know that Zamfara has long been one of the APC’s stronghold states, where the defected Governor was once a bona fide member. Now that he has decided to return home, having been satisfied that the APC remains his second choice after the one he left for obvious reasons,” Maikatako stated.

 

The Chairman called on all party faithful across the 147 wards in the state’s 14 local government areas to turn out en masse to honour the Vice President’s visit. He emphasized that the event was strategically positioned to bolster the party’s popularity and strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

In a strong appeal for unity, Maikatako urged members to set aside all factional tendencies, stressing that the APC remained one political family with shared goals, particularly the ambition to make Zamfara and Nigeria great again.

 

Echoing similar sentiments, a former state APC Chairman, Lawal M. Liman, appealed to members to cascade the message to their wards and local government areas. He reinforced the need for cohesion, noting that the party’s collective strength would be critical to achieving success in future elections.
