…As Progressive Governors’ Forum Passes Vote of Confidence on President Tinubu
Despite the pervasive insecurity around the country, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Mudashiru Obasa has affirmed that with the support of all Nigerians, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would get it right with his concerted reengineering of the nation’s security architecture.
Speaking at the APC Stakeholders and Progressives Governors Forum meeting held Saturday, December 6, at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, Obasa said he did not doubt that President Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC-led federal government, would do all that they can to ensure that they secure the life and property of every Nigerian.
According to Obasa, “We have seen the president in action and how he is innovating and working hard to resolve our many challenges especially insecurity and we believe he will get it done. He’s still the man that can do it. That is why we must do everything within our powers to ensure that he is returned in 2027.”
Speaker Obasa teed off with robust commendations for the governors for their shared dedication and commitment to helping President Tinubu resolve Nigeria’s insecurity problem.
He urged them to galvanise their people when they return to their various states to be a part of the solution to Nigeria’s security challenge, and not stay aloof.
Speaker Obasa added that security is not just about the governors, “It is about everybody. We must all be involved in fighting this problem. We must give the President all the support that we can so that he will succeed in his attempts to redirect the trajectory of Nigeria.”
The PGF had converged on Lagos between December 5 and 6 for a meeting convened by the Chairman of the Forum, Senator Hope Uzodimma, Governor of Imo State, and hosted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State.
In a communique read by Governor Uzodinma, the governors passed a vote of confidence on President Tinubu’s administration, and pledged support for his Renewed Hope Agenda and re-election in 2027.
The Forum, according to Governor Uzodinma, reviewed the security situation across the country and expressed appreciation for the improved coordination between federal, state, and local security structures, as well as the courage and sacrifices of security agencies and community volunteers. They also resolved to strengthen local security architecture in all the states.
Governor Uzodinma said that their two-day engagement provided an opportunity to review the nation’s current trajectory, deepen coordination among the governors, and reaffirm their firm support for the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu.
“The PGF commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his steadfast commitment to stabilizing the economy, strengthening national security, and laying the foundations of sustainable growth through the Renewed Hope Agenda,” he said.

Ajadi Congratulates Adedamola As PDP Gov’ship Candidate In Osun
Ajadi Congratulates Adedamola As PDP Gov’ship Candidate In Osun
Governorship aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State for the 2027 general election, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has congratulated Adebayo Adedamola (popularly known as Fryo) on his emergence as the PDP gubernatorial candidate for the 2026 Osun State election.
Adedamola clinched the party’s ticket on Tuesday after polling 919 votes out of 957, following the withdrawal and resignation of Governor Ademola Adeleke from the PDP.
The primary election, supervised by a committee led by Humphrey Abba and monitored by INEC officials under tight security, resulted in Adedamola being named the consensus candidate.
statement issued on Tuesday evening, Ambassador Ajadi described Adedamola’s victory as “a confirmation of the confidence the Osun PDP family and the people of the state have in his leadership capacity.”
He praised the peaceful conduct of the primary. He commended the delegates for what he called “a demonstration of true internal democracy needed to strengthen the PDP ahead of the 2026 governorship election in Osun and the 2027 general elections nationwide.”
He said, “I heartily congratulate Adebayo Adedamola on his well-deserved emergence as the PDP governorship candidate in Osun State. His victory reflects the voice and will of dedicated party members who came out to uphold the values of democracy, transparency, and unity.”
He added that Adedamola’s emergence comes at a crucial time for the party in Osun and Nigeria as a whole.
“This victory is not just for Adedamola; it is for the PDP family and for the restoration of good governance in Osun State. I am confident he will give the people a credible, people-oriented, and development-driven campaign,” he said.
Ambassador Ajadi also commended the committee in charge of the primary for conducting a seamless exercise despite earlier uncertainties arising from internal party disagreements and Adeleke’s resignation.
The PDP has once again shown maturity in resolving internal issues and moving forward with a united front. I salute the leadership of our party and the committee led by Humphrey Abba for ensuring due process and fairness,” he added.
Ajadi urged party members in Osun State to rally behind their candidate as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has mandated political parties to submit names of flagbearers before December 15, ahead of the August 8, 2026, governorship poll.
He expressed confidence that Adebayo Adedamola’s candidacy will energise the party ahead of the election.
I encourage all stakeholders, leaders, and loyal members of our party in Osun to unite in support of our candidate. Victory is assured when we speak with one voice,” he said.
As a 2027 Oyo State governorship hopeful, Ambassador Ajadi reaffirmed his commitment to fostering unity across South-West PDP chapters and strengthening the party’s chances in future elections.
“The PDP is rising again in the South-West, and together we will build a stronger, more people-focused political movement for 2026 and 2027,” he reiterated.

Buratai: The General Who Rebuilt Courage — How One Man’s Vision Transformed the Nigerian Army
In the annals of Nigeria’s military history, few names command as much respect, admiration, and enduring loyalty as that of Major-General Tukur Yusuf Buratai. A legend to many and a hero to countless more, Buratai’s era as Chief of Army Staff became a defining chapter—one marked by discipline, transformation, and renewed national pride.
At a time when Nigeria faced some of its most daunting security challenges, Buratai stood firm at the helm, guiding the nation’s forces with a calm resolve that inspired confidence across all ranks.

Buratai championed far-reaching reforms that reshaped operational readiness and improved the welfare of servicemen and women. He understood that a motivated soldier is an unbeatable force, and so he built systems that elevated professionalism, enhanced training, and opened clearer pathways for young officers to grow. For many, his vision became the spark that lit their passion for service, giving new hope to careers that once stood uncertain.

PROPHETIC SHOCKWAVE: How Prophet Kingsley Aitafo Foretold the Coup Attempt That Shook Guinea-Bissau
PROPHETIC SHOCKWAVE: How Prophet Kingsley Aitafo Foretold the Coup Attempt That Shook Guinea-Bissau
In a stunning twist that has gripped political observers and the global prophetic community, a prior warning issued by Nigerian cleric Prophet Kingsley Aitafo has resurfaced—this time with chilling accuracy. His prophetic caution about an impending coup plot in Guinea-Bissau has now aligned with the recent attempt to unseat the West African nation’s leadership.
Months before tensions spilled into the open, Prophet Aitafo released a public prophecy highlighting military unrest, internal betrayal, and a looming attempt to destabilize the sitting government. At the time, many dismissed the message as improbable, given Guinea-Bissau’s relative calm. But the sudden eruption of political violence and attempts by elements within the security structure to overthrow the government have rekindled attention to the prophecy.
According to Prophet Aitafo’s earlier revelation, West Africa was entering “a sensitive season where leaders must stay vigilant against internal conspiracies.” He specifically mentioned that Guinea-Bissau was “on the radar of unseen forces pushing for unconstitutional change.”
Those words now appear uncannily prescient. The attempted coup—marked by gunfire, military confrontation, and an effort to seize strategic government assets—matches key elements of Aitafo’s earlier message.
Political analysts believe Guinea-Bissau’s fragile institutions and long history of military influence made it vulnerable, but the timing and manner of events have left many astonished by the prophetic alignment.
Across social media, supporters and observers are revisiting Prophet Aitafo’s warning, calling it yet another confirmation of his spiritual foresight. Many argue that African leaders should begin to pay closer attention to prophetic messages that highlight looming national security threats.
As Guinea-Bissau begins the difficult process of restoring calm and reclaiming stability, many are now asking: What else did the prophet see—and are West African nations truly prepared for what comes next?
