NASS ILLEGAL ORDER OF STOPAGE OF THE RECRUITMENT OF 774, 000 NIGERIANS IS LEGISLATIVE RASCALITY
A civil society organization, the Committee for the Protection of Peoples Mandate (CPPM) has condemned in strong terms the illegal, unconstitutional, provocative, reckless and undemocratic order of the National Assembly directing the stoppage of the Federal government programme on the recruitment of 773, 000 Nigerians across the 773 local government council areas of Nigeria.
The group described the illegal order emanating from the national assembly on the programme as a result of it’s inability to influence the recruitment process for personal gain but which was stoutly resisted by the Honourable Minister of state for labour as legislative rascality which stands condemned in its entirety.
The group urged members of the National Assembly to seek education and information from the constitution on the duties and responsibilities of the 3 arms of government in a democracy which they have by this irresponsible and undemocratic action, displayed utter ignorance, greed and assault on the constitution and the collective of sensibilities of Nigerians.
The group notes with sadness and regret that the National Assembly which before now gained notoriety for budget padding prior to the emergence of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration has switched gear to slottism ( requesting for slots) for personal gains on any and every government programmes and projects which is rather unfortunate and sad.
The group called on Nigerians and all lovers of democracy to rise up against this unconstitutional and illegal order of the National Assembly which is an affront on the lofty ideals of the programme meant to cushion the economic weariness of poor Nigerians as a result of the economic downturn and which has been further exercerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Committee for the Protection of Peoples Mandate (CPPM) also called on the leadership and members of the National Assembly to immediately withdraw the illegal order and tender an unreserved apology to Nigerians for the desecration of the hallowed chambers of law making by their undemocratic, unconstitutional, reckless, provocative and legislative rascality order.
The group (CPPM) however commended and saluted the courage and patriotism of the honourable Minister of state for labour for resisting the arm twisting and blackmail tactics for personal interest at the expense our collective good by members of the National Assembly committee.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thanks.
Yours Sincerely,
Signed.Nelson Ekujumi,Executive Chairman.
*I will perform like Sen.Adeola Yayi if I’m elected as Senator in Ogun West
Hon. Aina Akinpelu made it known to Ogun West People that he will perform like Senator Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, if the people of Ogun West give him opportunity to serve them as a senator representing Ogun West in 2027 election. Hence tagging his Campaign Slogan as Like *Yayi Like Legacy, Like Yayi Like Legacy*!
Aina said ” we need someone that can work for us like Senator Adeola, if we want his good work to continue in Ogun West”.
That is one of the reasons why I’m contesting for the senatorial seat for our incubent senators good work to continue.
“What I did then as a State Legislator when I served my People at Ado Odo/Ọta 1 Constituency is the example of what I will do if I give opportunity to represent Ogun West at the Federal Level
Honorable Aina says,
Just like Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi, I facilitated numerous “legacy projects” across my Constituency. I also personally funded people-oriented projects aimed at improving the daily lives of my people.
These visible achievements, delivered during my time as Member Ogun State House of Assembly from 2011–2019, are still standing strong across Ota State Constituency 1 till today.
As a grassroots politician who understands how to attract development and influence decisions in favour of his people, I’m fully prepared to take that same quality representation to Ogun West Senatorial District.
As progressive APC members in Ogun West, the time has come to rally behind a candidate who can sustain the standard and performance Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi has brought to our district. Which is me, says – *Hon. Aina Akinpelu.*

A leading governorship aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the education sector as part of efforts to build a better future for the next generation.
Speaking at a press briefing on Sunday, Ajadi said his administration, if elected in 2027, would focus on harnessing grassroots talents while providing support for vulnerable and underprivileged children.
He announced plans to launch a “Back-to-School Initiative” on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, across the seven geopolitical zones of the state, in commemoration of the 2025/2026 third term resumption.
According to him, the programme aims to support over 200 vulnerable pupils with school uniforms, socks, sandals, and other educational materials.
He noted that the initiative would complement ongoing efforts by the administration of Seyi Makinde in addressing the challenge of out-of-school children.
The initiative, he added, is being implemented in partnership with the Catch Them Young Campaign Initiative to ensure that support reaches pupils in government-owned primary schools across the state.
In Ibadan, the first phase of the programme will cover selected schools, including Ode Aje Primary School, Kumapayi Primary School, Olodo; IDC Primary School, Odo-Ona; L. A Special School, Gate; and St. Luke’s Demonstration Basic School, Molete.
Ajadi further disclosed that the initiative would be extended to other zones of the state in the coming weeks.
Zamfara APC Stakeholders Unanimously Endorse Tinubu, Lawal for Second Term
Stakeholders of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State have thrown their full weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Dauda Lawal for a second term in the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement came on Saturday, April 25, 2026, during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting convened at the Government House in Gusau. The gathering drew all four former governors of the state, elected officials, elders, and representatives of youth and women from all 14 local government areas.
Speaking at the event, Governor Lawal described the meeting as timely, noting that political activities ahead of the 2027 elections are about to intensify.
He explained that his decision to join the APC was not merely political but a strategic move to reposition Zamfara, strengthen collaboration with the federal government, and advance the Renewed Hope Agenda. He thanked stakeholders for their unwavering support throughout the transition process.
Lawal urged party leaders to manage public expectations with maturity and fairness, acknowledging that not all political aspirations can be met immediately. He stressed that leadership goes beyond positions and that political relevance comes from service and contribution to development.
He further assured that fairness, equity, and justice would guide his administration’s decisions, and called for discipline and loyalty to the party.
