Sports: Gov Abiodun hosts Tobi Amusan, showers N5m, house on her
Sports: Gov Abiodun hosts Tobi Amusan, showers N5m, house on her
The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on Tuesday, hosted the World, Commonwealth and African 100 metres hurdles, Oluwatobi Amusan and named her as the Ogun State Sport Ambassador.
A statement issued in Abeokuta by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, on Tuesday said Gov. Abiodun equally announced a cash reward of N5m Naira and also gifted the queen of the tracks a house in Ijebu-Ode.
The governor had on the 26th day of April, 2021 adopted the star athlete, whose exploits were made known to the governor by the Minister of Youths and Sports, Sunday Dare.
Speaking further at the event held at his Oke Mosan Office, Governor Abiodun described Tobi Amusan as a role model to the girl-child and a practical example of a truism that what a man can do, a woman can even do better.
“So, you will be our Sports Ambassador; I am happy that you said you are not from any other state. You are from Ogun and not from Lagos and you want to come back home. We also want to ensure that you come back home.
“We want to assure you that as you come back home, you have a home here in the state. So, in view of that, we are also going to be presenting to you a home in Ijebu-Ode.
“On top of that, we will be giving you a small token, we will be donating to you a sum of five million naira,” he said.
Gov. Abiodun who noted that his administration is on cause to give the Ijebu-Ode Stadium the necessary facelift it needs, said that the call by the star athlete to use the stadium to train whenever she is in the country would further prompt his administration to fast track the rehabilitation of the stadium.
“We are in the process of rehabilitating a few of our sport facilities, I have spoken to the Minister of Sports and a few other people, but, now that we have one of our own who is saying that I want to train in that stadium, that puts us under a lot of pressure to ensure we prioritize Ijebu-Ode stadium because we want you to come and be training in that stadium,” the governor added.
While noting that his administration considers the role of women very important in all spheres of human endeavor, he said that the passing of a law to ensure the full emancipation of women in the state, is the beginning of an era where women get more responsibility.
The governor who noted that youths in the country can combine both sports and education without any disturbance, called on youths in the country to borrow a clue from the world champion who combined both and is doing well for herself.
Abiodun further described athletics as an avenue where discipline, leadership skills and inter-personal relationships can be learnt, adding that “Tobi has been able to succeed through a lot of discipline, hard work, persistence and a lot of faith in her ability”.
The governor stressed that his administration views the Sport Ambassador and world champion as a point of contact for other youths in the country who have lost faith in what hardwork, persistence, faith and diligence can achieve.
He noted that the story of the World, Commonwealth and African Champion would further educate those who still look at the combination of sports and education as a waste of time.
In her remarks, Tobi Amusan, while acknowledging the support of Governor Abiodun towards her success, called on the Federal Government to do more for athletes.
“All thanks to my governor for supporting me and I feel like the Federal Government can do the same when it comes to supporting athletes financially,” she said.
Her coach, Abiola Onakoya also noted that the world champion is already giving back to the society through an athletics development programme named Tobi Abiola Athletics Development in Ogun State.
The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun had on the 26th day of April, 2021 adopted the star athlete, whose exploits were made known to the Governor by the Minister of Youths and Sports; Hon. Sunday Dare.

NDDC Chief Tipped for Bayelsa Governorship, Prophet Foresees Breakthrough for Naval, DSS Operations
A Nigerian cleric, Omotoso Tope Joseph, has released a series of prophetic alerts concerning Nigeria’s political future, security architecture and economic outlook, urging citizens to intensify prayers for the country and its leadership.
Among the key revelations, the prophet predicted that Samuel Ogbuku, the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), is destined to emerge as the next governor of Bayelsa State.
According to him, the development would mark a turning point for the oil-rich state, noting that Ogbuku’s passion for his people and exposure to development initiatives would enable him to bring significant transformation to the state if the prophecy comes to pass.
The cleric also called for prayers for the leadership of the Nigerian Air Force, particularly the Chief of Air Staff, stressing that divine guidance is needed for the military as it continues to tackle security challenges across the country.
In another revelation, he predicted that the Department of State Services (DSS) would receive exceptional wisdom that would help the agency design strategies capable of significantly reducing crimes such as robbery and kidnapping nationwide.
He further warned Nigerians to pray against a possible fire outbreak at a major airport in the country and appealed for spiritual support for a prominent traditional ruler who, he claimed, may face international legal challenges involving the United States Government.
The prophet also revealed that a sitting governor in Nigeria would soon receive international recognition for outstanding development work connected to the annual Christian programme known as Shiloh (Living Faith Church Annual Programme).
Speaking on national leadership, he maintained that divine support remains with Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria’s President, while urging Nigerians to continue praying for wisdom and strength for the administration.
On the economic front, Omotoso predicted that the cost of petroleum products would drop while the Nigerian Naira would gain strength in the near future.
He concluded by declaring that couples trusting God for the fruit of the womb would soon experience divine visitation.

Fuji Star, King Saheed Osupa Announces Fountain Busari Basit Babatunde (Orisun Ayo)’s 2027 Assembly Bid At Oyo Ramadan Lecture
Fuji Star, King Saheed Osupa Announces Fountain Busari Basit Babatunde (Orisun Ayo)’s 2027 Assembly Bid At Oyo Ramadan Lecture
By Alhaji Arems (Baba Fuji)
A Ramadan public lecture in Oyo took on added political significance this week after Fuji music icon King (Dr.) Saheed Osupa Akorede (Olufimo I) used the gathering to publicly announce the political ambition of Fountain Busari Basit Babatunde, popularly known as Orisun Ayo, ahead of the 2027 Oyo State House of Assembly elections.
The announcement came during the 2026 Ramadan Public Lecture organized by the Orisun Ayo Concerned Movement, held on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at Atiba Hall in Oyo, Oyo State. Although Osupa—who served as the event’s Chief Host—was unable to attend physically due to his ongoing trip to the United States, he joined the event through a video call that was broadcast to attendees inside the hall.
During the call, the Fuji star addressed the audience and formally declared Orisun Ayo’s intention to contest a seat in the Oyo State House of Assembly in 2027, drawing applause from participants gathered for the Ramadan program.
A Ramadan Lecture With Political Undertones :
The event itself was structured as a faith-based public lecture designed to encourage reflection during the holy month of Ramadan. This year’s theme, *“Youths, Political Participation and Decision Making,”* reflected growing conversations across Nigeria about youth involvement in governance and civic leadership.
The lecture was hosted by Fountain Busari Basit Babatunde (Orisun Ayo), who currently serves as the *Personal Assistant to King Saheed Osupa*. Through his Orisun Ayo Concerned Movement, Babatunde has been building a grassroots presence in Oyo, organizing community engagements that blend social advocacy with youth mobilization.
While the lecture focused on religious reflection and civic responsibility, Osupa’s remote appearance introduced a political dimension that immediately became the day’s most talked-about moment.
Speaking through the live video call, the musician acknowledged the significance of youth participation in politics and used the opportunity to publicly affirm Babatunde’s political ambitions.
Scholars Lead Conversations On Youth And Governance :
Beyond the announcement, the lecture featured Islamic scholars and community leaders who addressed the relationship between faith, leadership, and civic duty.
The keynote lecture was delivered by Fodilat Sheikh Abdulafeez Sarumi, the Al-Mufty of Oyo Land, who served as the Host Lecturer for the event. His address centered on the responsibilities of young Muslims to engage constructively in political processes while maintaining ethical and moral standards.
Another featured speaker was Sheikh Yusfau Ibrahim Adebayo Ebunoluwaapo*, an Al-Hareery scholar, who joined the program as Guest Lecturer. He expanded on the theme by emphasizing the role of education, discipline, and community responsibility in preparing young people for leadership.
Together, the speakers framed political participation not simply as an ambition for power, but as a duty tied to community development and responsible governance.
A Platform For Community Engagement :
The program was presided over by *His Imperial Majesty Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade I*, the Alaafin of Oyo, who served as the Royal Father of the Day. His presence added traditional authority to the gathering and underscored the event’s broader community significance.
Also contributing to the program were the event’s masters of ceremony, *Yusuff Olatunji (Teejay)* and *Abd. Rahman Olawale (Joy)*, who guided the proceedings and facilitated interactions between speakers and attendees.
The lecture drew a diverse audience of religious leaders, youth groups, community stakeholders, and political observers from across Oyo and neighboring areas.
From Community Organizing To Political Ambition :
For Babatunde—widely known in local circles as Orisun Ayo—the event also highlighted a transition from community activism to formal political participation.
Through initiatives tied to the Orisun Ayo Concerned Movement, he has increasingly positioned himself within youth mobilization spaces in Oyo. The Ramadan lecture, particularly with its focus on youth participation in governance, appeared to align with the broader narrative surrounding his emerging political aspirations.
Osupa’s public endorsement during the program adds another layer to that trajectory. As a highly respected Fuji musician with deep roots in Oyo State, the entertainer’s support may carry cultural and political weight among segments of the electorate.
Looking Ahead To 2027 :
With the 2027 election cycle still some distance away, Babatunde’s declaration signals an early start to political positioning in the state. Events like the Ramadan lecture demonstrate how religious and community gatherings can double as platforms for civic dialogue and political signaling.
For attendees at Atiba Hall, the program ultimately blended spiritual reflection with conversations about leadership and the future of youth participation in governance.
As discussions around the next electoral cycle gradually begin across Oyo State, the moment captured during the Ramadan lecture—Osupa’s remote announcement and Orisun Ayo’s emerging candidacy—may prove to be an early marker in what could become a closely watched political journey.
