Sen. Kaka commended Hon. Osho for delivering the projects despite having few days to spend in office.

According to the former Deputy Governor, “the type of training we impact on our own people (politicians) will always let them know that they don’t just dream of any projects and thinks they will enforce it on people, they should ask them (constituents) of their needs and ensure to do what will benefit them most, the real thing should be of benefits to them all.”

“This is an outgoing personality having less than twenty five days to go, if it was to be some of the Nigerian politicians, they will just abandoned it, but because he was committed and ready to execute it to the glory of God and benefit of mankind he ensure that the project was completed.”

We hope others will emulate this kind of dedication, Senator Kaka concluded.

Alaye-Ode of Ode-Remo, HRH. Oba Adetunji Osho expressed excitement for witnessing the official commissioning saying that Osho actually did what the constituents demanded for.

His words “I am very happy to be here today to witness the official commissioning, Is a good thing for us to celebrate because it’s just a small project demanded by the Members.”

“I am here with him today, he has given us no matter what,no matter how small it is, it is what we demanded from him and he did it, he did it before the end of his term, so on this note ,we are very happy to be part of this project, to be part of the commissioning,and I want to pray that he will continue to grow from glory to glory”

On his parts, the lawmaker, Hon. Osho appreciated Sen. Kaka and other guests for honouring him.

He explained that despite having few days left to complete his tenure, there’s need to construct and complete projects.

Hon Osho equally said he has used his May Five Foundation to empower and impact life positively since he founded it thirteen years ago.

According to him “We have some few days left to complete the tenure as member of the state assembly, we still need to construct the project for the benefits of the immediate candidate who are left behind.”

“When my people decided to vote for me and send me to the Ogun state house of assembly to represent them,I promised them quality representation and with the kind of background that we have, and with the kind of party ideologies that we have, it is expected of me to fulfill all my promises to the society.”

“Most of the things we are commissioning today was actually with my private money, I have a foundation which I founded about 13 years ago , even before I joined the politics, that have been given back to my community and that is the reason why I continue in regardless of the government or out of government.”

Hon. Osho also reiterate his commitment to continue to give out to his community whenever the needs call for it.

While speaking on the May Five Foundation, he said “May Five foundation is like my petible jet,is a foundation that I actually founded about 13 to 14 years ago,when I finished my university degree in UK ,I was fortunately to get scholarship to study abroad as an orphan,so on a day that I left university,I promise God that I will continue to give back to my people,that if I can be a beneficiary of free education even outside the country,I will continue to give back to my people,.

“Since then, 2009 , every year on my birthday, even if it not my birthday,I try to give out to my community,so that is the brain behind May 5 foundation,I actually name it after my birthday,I was born on the 5th of May.”

The lawmaker therefore appreciated his constituents for there support and encouragement over the years.

“Just like I said I have few days left for my tenure to end ,so I just want to appreciate my people for their support,for their encouragement, because without them ,their wouldn’t have been any success to the core”

“So, I thank God for their life,I thank God for them , for their support and I promise them I would continue to be a good ambassador of Remo North and continue to give back to my community anytime they need me for humanity and for service, am always ready to serve my people,and I will have no regrets serving my people, Hon. Osho concluded.

Coalition Congratulates Oluyede on Appointment as Acting COAS

The Convener of the Coalition, Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi, in a statement, said General Oluyede has the responsibility to consolidate the success achieved by the Nigerian Army under General Taoreed Lagbaja.

President Bola Tinubu had on Wednesday, October 30, appointed Oluyede as acting COAS pending the return of the indisposed substantive Chief of Army Staff, General Taoreed Lagbaja.

The Coalition said his appointment is a welcome development. It said: “Major-General Olufemi Oluyede is well qualified for the position. He was a member of the 39th regular course and commissioned as an officer in 1987. Aged 56, he was promoted to the rank of Major-General in September 2020. A professional and top-notch security expert, he brings a lot of hope and inspiration to younger officers as acting chief of Army Staff.

“His appointment is the way to go. As the acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede has the responsibility to lead an army that will administratively manage the institution, consolidate on the success achieved by General Lagbaja and his team to mop up remnants of insurgents, bandits and the ragtag criminal elements in the North, and dismantle the ethnic militias in the Southeast to bring peace in the country.

General Buratai Urges Dangote Not To Succumb To Marketers Blackmail, Reveals Why

General Buratai Urges Dangote Not To Succumb To Marketers Blackmail, Reveals Why

 

Former Chief of Army Staff and erstwhile envoy of Nigeria to the Republic of Benin, Lt. General TY Buratai Rtd (CFR) has lent his voice to the lingering issues between Dangote Refinery and petroleum marketers in Nigeria. The decorated General urged Dangote, not to succumb to the marketers blackmail.

General Buratai Urges Dangote Not To Succumb To Marketers Blackmail, Reveals Why
In an exclusive chat with some journalists on his opinion over the imbroglio between the two gladiators, he raised a fundamental question as regards who is blackmailing Dangote?

According to Buratai, Dangote refinery can not operate outside the global oil system. Just because it refines locally and gets its crude in Naira is not a reason to sell it cheaper. He stated that the government must susidise because it is making a profit. However, the question of subsidy is very sensitive now. But when subsidy is reintroduced, it should be only for locally refined products. At the same time, our borders must be closed for all smugglers, especially in petroleum products.

“Our borders are porous, and high-level smuggling is witnessed in every sphere. Dangote must find markets elsewhere to be able to maintain its operations. It is good news that Ghana and other African countries are approaching Dangote to buy his products.

 

“If Dangote refinery sells its product cheaper, be rest assured the products will be massively smuggled. The petroleum marketers are not sincere. They want cheap Dangote products to be able to smuggle them outside our shores. In this case, both Nigerians and Dangote will be the losers.”

 

Continuing, Buratai believed that “Unless all our borders are properly manned and all the smuggling routes are blocked, then the government subsidy will work for our benefits”

“Dangote should not succumb to the marketers’ blackmail”, he concluded.

 

It would be recalled that the row between Dangote Refinery and petroleum marketers in Nigeria has taken a new dimension following the comment by the President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote that petroleum marketers were not approaching his refinery for purchase of petroleum products.

There has been an uneasy calm since the roll-out of premium motor spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, from the Dangote Refinery in September. Their were discordant tunes between the management and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and other petroleum marketers.

Dangote refinery has disclosed the price of its petrol, revealing that it sells petrol at N960 per litre for ships and maintains a price of N990 per litre for trucks.

The statement follows claims from the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) that they can import fuel at cheaper rates than Dangote’s.

In an earlier interview, the marketers alleged they were buying fuel more affordably from abroad and called on Dangote Refinery to collaborate with stakeholders.

In response, the refinery argued that only substandard products could be obtained at prices lower than its own.
