Sen.Adeola Yayi ‘s governorship bid sparks statewide town hall meetings – Ogun Visionaries

 

In a bid to further deepen the propagation of Sen. Solomon Olamilekan Adeola’s aspiration for the Ogun governorship seat in 2027, the leading socio‑political group Ogun Visionaries on Thursday organized a Town Hall Meeting for the people of Ogun West.

 

The Ogun West edition, with the theme Yayi 2027: Making a Case for Ogun State Unity and Prosperity,”was held at Sango‑Ota in Ado‑Odo Local Government Area of Ogun State.

 

Speaking at the well‑attended event, the chairman of the day, Dr. Isiaq Kunle Salako, described the gathering as not just another political event, but a statement of solidarity and a reaffirmation of the people’s collective resolve and demonstration of their commitment to the unity and progress of Ogun State.

The Minister of State for Health, represented by Hon. Sheriff Abiodun said “We have come together as one big political family from every local government and ward with the common goal of delivering our state into the hands of a visionary and tested leader, Sen. Solomon Adeola, fondly called Yayi.

 

“The journey to the 2027 governorship race begins now, and the foundation of this must be built on unity. No party, no vision, no movement can thrive in division. This meeting is crucial to strengthen the bond that holds us together, reconcile differences where they exist, and remind ourselves that our collective future is stronger than our personal ambition. Our candidate, Sen. Solomon Adeola Yayi, has proven capability, competence and compassion—qualities our state desperately needs to drive qualitative leadership, empowerment and inclusiveness. We are convinced that he represents the best future we all yearn for.”

Hon. Abiodun, Majority Leader in the Ogun House of Assembly, Ado‑Odo/Ota Constituency 1, noted that the best candidate cannot win without unity, but we should also know that the best and most committed candidate cannot win without the unity and commitment of his people. He charged the electorate of the senatorial district to work hard and intensify efforts to make the vision a reality.

“Victory in 2027 will not come by chance but by hard work, coordination, discipline and collective sacrifice. Therefore we must all work hand‑in‑hand across communities, wards and local governments to get this ambition realized. We must all stand firm against decisive crises and work together to secure an overwhelming victory for Sen. Adeola in 2027.”

 

In his address, the guest speaker Senator Lekan Mustapha, represented by Ajiroba Dayo Oke, described Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi as someone held in high esteem by many because of his outstanding performances as a distinguished law‑maker whose political legacy remains clearly indelible across all the legislative houses provided in our constitution. Not only that, his records of achievements in infrastructure development and human‑capital‑resource building are highly unprecedented throughout the nooks and crannies of our dear state, with immeasurable contributions to nation‑building.

 

Delving into the theme of the discussion, he emphasized the role of unity in strengthening community and nation‑building.

“As a democrat, I strongly believe that unity plays a powerful role in advancing shared goals, whether communities, states, nations, or global movements.

“Unity in political actions is one of the most powerful forces for change, especially in diverse societies like Ogun West, Ogun State, Nigeria and across Africa.”

He noted that though diversity is a great challenge to people from Ogun West, he implored them to turn it into their greatest asset, as they now have a vibrant, distinguished and eminent son who can break the jinx for the region in the next election. He urged the people of Ogun West to rise above tribal divisions and sentiments, speak with one voice, purpose and embrace collaboration, and support Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola so as to build a future where every child, in every corner of the state, has an opportunity to thrive. He also pointed out that Senator Solomon Olamilekan Yayi is not just a name on the political landscape of Ogun, but a symbol of what is possible when competence meets compassion and vision backed by verifiable results. He called on all and sundry to organize, mobilize, and come 2027 make history together, so that Ogun State can continue in the legacies of economic vibrancy and prosperity of the current administration under Gov. Dapo Abiodun.

Earlier, the Director‑General of Ogun Visionaries, Hon. Odunleye Odunjo, stated that the socio‑political group is set to hold interactive sessions with Ogun‑state indigenes via statewide town‑hall meetings.

“We will listen to people across the state—asking them what kind of government they would like to have in 2027 and how their next leader should govern their affairs. We will x‑ray individuals and support the best among us to emerge as our elected public servants. With the resources extractable from our state, we must be conscious of those aspiring to lead us.” He noted that town‑hall meetings are not new to the state’s political space, emphasizing that the meetings are to pinpoint and scrutinize the existing challenges, opportunities and ways to fix them all for the benefit of the people of Ogun State.

In their summations, discussants at the meeting—Barr Aina Akinpelu, Alhaja Fatimah Oluwakemi, Princess Florence Egbeyemi, Olootu Bolaji Adeniji, and Olori Olabisi Olaotan lauded the impactful, people‑oriented projects and empowerments being implemented by Senator Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, especially in Ogun West and the other two senatorial districts of Ogun State, adding that Ogun West has gotten a formidable aspirant in Yayi and must rally massive support for him to make the dream of Ogun West occupying the governorship seat of the state a reality since its creation 49 years ago, in the name of equity, justice, unity and prosperity of Ogun State.

Three Years On, General Buratai Hails Tinubu’s Economic, Security Achievements

 

 

Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as bold economic reforms and improved security efforts as the President marks three years in office.

 

 

 

 

In a goodwill message on Thursday to commemorate Tinubu’s third anniversary as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Buratai said the administration had taken courageous decisions that would leave a lasting impact on Nigeria’s development.

 

 

 

According to him, President Tinubu broke a long-standing cycle that had hindered national growth by removing fuel subsidy and implementing foreign exchange reforms aimed at stabilising the naira and strengthening the economy.

 

 

 

 

He noted that the reforms were beginning to yield positive results, citing the global acceptance of Nigerian debit cards, the gradual revival of local refineries, access to student loans, and ongoing road and infrastructure projects across the country.

 

 

 

“The FCT Administration has also recorded remarkable progress, completing major road projects that remained unfinished for over 16 years,” Buratai stated.

 

 

 

The former army chief also praised the administration’s security efforts, saying renewed military offensives against insurgents, terrorists and bandits had led to notable successes across various parts of the country.

 

 

 

He specifically lauded recent joint operations involving Nigerian and United States forces against Boko Haram and ISWAP in the North-East, as well as intensified counter-banditry operations in the North-West.

 

 

 

 

“We have seen notorious ISWAP commanders being neutralised. I congratulate the Commander-in-Chief, the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police and heads of intelligence agencies for their efforts,” he said.

 

 

 

 

Buratai, however, acknowledged that challenges remained, stressing the need for more aggressive military operations and intelligence-driven strategies in the coming year.

 

 

 

 

While urging Nigerians to remain hopeful, he said celebrating the President’s achievements did not amount to ignoring the difficulties facing the nation.

 

 

 

 

“Because you truly care, you have shown the courage to trade short-term comfort for long-term hope. Nigerians need your reassurances, and that is why we remain optimistic and full of confidence,” he added.

The retired military officer reaffirmed his support for the Tinubu administration and expressed confidence that the foundation being laid by the government would deliver a brighter future for the country.

 

He also prayed for God’s guidance, wisdom, strength and good health for the President as he continues to lead Nigeria.

The Nigeria Union of Teachers has expressed deep concern over the continued captivity of pupils and teachers abducted during an attack on schools in the Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

 

 

In a statement issued on Saturday, the Oyo State wing of the union described the situation as increasingly distressing, particularly following the emergence of a video allegedly released by the abductors showing the victims pleading for their freedom.

 

 

The union said the footage had heightened fears over the welfare of the abducted pupils and teachers, describing their ordeal as heartbreaking and unacceptable.

 

NUT Raises Alarm Over Continued Captivity of Abducted Oyo Pupils, Teachers

According to the NUT, no child or teacher deserves to be subjected to such traumatic experiences, adding that the prolonged captivity of the victims has continued to inflict psychological pain on their families, colleagues and the wider education community.

 

 

 

The union called on the Federal Government, Oyo State Government and relevant security agencies to intensify efforts towards securing the immediate and safe release of the victims.

 

 

“This is not a moment for hesitation. It is a moment for coordinated, intelligence-driven efforts to ensure the immediate and safe release of all abducted pupils and teachers,” the statement read.

 

 

While acknowledging ongoing interventions by security agencies and government authorities, the union stressed that time was of the essence, warning that every additional day in captivity deepens the trauma suffered by the victims.

 

 

The NUT urged security operatives to strengthen surveillance, improve community intelligence gathering and deploy all necessary operational and diplomatic measures to facilitate the rescue of the abductees.

 

 

It also appealed to traditional rulers, community leaders and residents to support rescue efforts by providing credible information that could assist security agencies.

 

 

 

“The safety of our children and teachers must remain a collective priority,” the union stated.

 

 

Reaffirming its support for the families of the victims, the NUT pledged continued solidarity and prayers while advocating safer learning environments across the country.

 

 

The statement was jointly signed by the Chairman of the Oyo State NUT, Comrade Hassan Ajibola Fatai, and the Secretary, Comrade Salami Olukayode.
