Rift between me and my leader, Gov. Abiodun; imagination of fifth columnists-Sen. Adeola Yayi

 

 

 

The lawmaker representing Ogun West Senatorial District at the upper chamber of the National Assembly and Chairman Senate Committee on Appropriations, Senator Solomon Adeola (YAYI) has described as mere imagination of rumour mongers, the alleged feud between him and the governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

 

 

 

 

He posited that nothing could have warranted any friction between him and the governor, not even the issue of political influence or interest at any levels of government, adding that the governor remains the leader of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in the State and by extension his revered leader, saying such rumour was the handiwork of charlatans who are parading themselves as politicians.

Sen. Adeola, stressed that the structure of APC in Ogun State, which determines every opportunity or privilege that comes to the state is in firm grip of the governor without any controversy, as he leads from the front with courage and selflessness.

The Senator made this known in a statement he personally signed on Saturday and made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.

According to him, scores of political jobbers and opposition elements in the state are not comfortable with the level of cooperation and cordiality that exist among major APC stakeholders in the state, especially his team and that of the governor, hence, the reason for the frivolous report.

The statement reads:” Going by the emptiness and it’s lack of substance, I wouldn’t have bothered myself to react to such mischievous publication with the notion to create unnecessary tension and acrimony where none exists, but considering the power and passion of social media, I considered it imperative to set the record straight.

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no iota of truth of any rift or clash between me and my leader, Governor Abiodun. Strictly speaking, from the inception of his administration in May, 2019, I have committed myself to support our governor in all ways possible, not only on the basis of our close personal relationship but in the interest of the development of Ogun State.

”My irreversible commitment was informed by my conviction about Governor Abiodun’s selfless service to the cause of our state and his determination to change the face of our dear state through his unprecedented developmental drive, that had elicited commendations across Nigeria and beyond.

“I can not also forget the role of His Excellency in my overwhelming success at the party primary and eventual election as the senator representing the good people of Ogun West Senatorial District. His support for me greatly demonstrated that he has the best interest of Ogun West and the people of the zone at heart, as well as the entire state.

“In view of this conviction and certainty, it is indeed satanic and highly inconceivable for anyone to just wake up from the wrong side of his bed and write about any disagreement between me and my leader and respected principal, Prince Dapo Abiodun; any report of this nature is nothing but sheer gimmicks of political obscurantist to destroy the organic bond between me and my leader, our quintessential governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

“I, therefore, urge the good people of Ogun State to disregard such report as product of hallucinations, as my relationship with Governor Dapo Abiodun, his immediate family and indeed members of his administration remains strong as ever. Together we are taking our dear state, Ogun, to greater heights in this era of Renewed Hope”.

E signed

Senator Solomon Adeola
Chairman,
Appropriation Committee of the Senate.

Among His Peers, Oba Orin Saheed Osupa Stands Out : The Fuji Star’s Storytelling Legacy

By Alhaji Arems

 

In the vibrant world of Fuji music, where the artistry of storytelling and cultural commentary thrive, Saheed Osupa has carved out a unique role as both an artist and an influencer of thought. Recently, his name has been lighting up social media discussions and generating significant buzz—not just because of his music but because of the depth of his words. Osupa’s trending status is rooted in his ability to subtly address pressing issues, particularly those surrounding the ongoing tension between fellow Fuji musicians Taye Currency and Pasuma Wonder.

 

 

Osupa’s recent contributions to this situation have not been straightforward; rather, he has adopted an artistic approach, using parables and proverbs—sometimes through complex storytelling—to impart wisdom. These nuanced messages, often hidden within his lyrics, resonate with fans who appreciate the clever way he brings age-old Yoruba wisdom into contemporary issues. One notable example involves a story about an animal (traditionally symbolizing patience and resilience) that many believe reflects Osupa’s thoughts on rivalry and pride. Through this parable, he seems to suggest the importance of self-reflection and restraint, especially in the heat of conflict.

In a genre that values not only musicality but also the power of words, Osupa has long been seen as a master of *itan*, or storytelling. His recent songs echo the traditional Yoruba way of imparting wisdom through tales that serve as lessons. This is a skill that few artists have mastered, making his approach particularly impactful in today’s fast-paced digital world, where nuanced messages can often be overlooked.

Beyond the Taye Currency-Pasuma Wonder issue, Osupa’s trending status is also due to his reputation as a voice of reason and maturity in Fuji music. As a genre that is often vibrant and full of competitive spirit, Fuji has its share of rivalries. Yet, Osupa has often stood out by promoting unity and peaceful dialogue among Fuji artists. By sharing these reflective stories in his music, he adds layers of meaning that fans continue to unpack and discuss, drawing new audiences who appreciate both the artistry and wisdom behind his words.

The charm of Saheed Osupa lies in his timeless approach. In a world where trends are fleeting, he reminds fans of the importance of timeless values, urging reflection, humility, and understanding. As fans interpret and share his latest stories, Osupa’s message continues to resonate widely—proof that, in Fuji, the power of words can be as influential as the beat of the drum.

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.

“The 56-year-old Oluyede shares a long history with General Lagbaja, with a track record and excellent service to the nation. Both are members of the 39th Regular Course and were commissioned as officers in 1987.

“Oluyede’s meritorious career began as a Platoon commander and adjutant at 65 Battalion, advancing to Company commander at 177 Guards Battalion and later Staff Officer at the Guards Brigade and commandant of Amphibious Training School.

“Oluyede has been part of many notable operations, including the ECOMOG Mission in Liberia, Operation HARMONY IV in Bakassi, and Operation HADIN KAI in the Northeast, where he commanded the 27 Task Force Brigade.

“He has received honours, including the Corps Medal of Honour, and Grand Service Star, all recognition for passing the Staff Course and membership in the National Institute, and his dedication and achievements in service.”
