Why We Are Working For Tinubu, Obasa, Others – Campaign Group

– Pledges Over 100,000 votes for Lagos Speaker

 

 

 

A independent support group for the re-election of the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has explained why it is backing Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming election.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Obasa Independent Campaign Group (OICG) said the Speaker, who represents Agege Constituency 1 at the Lagos State House of Assembly, had surpassed expectations in the performance of his legislative duties and as such, deserves reelection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The group, which held a solidarity walk and road show for the Speaker on Friday, also declared their support for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the APC, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other candidates of the party in Agege.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The walk had notable musicians including Wasiu Alabi Pasuma; Abolore Adegbola Akande also known as 9ice and Adekunle Temitope; better called Small Doctor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr. Azeez Yusuf, Director-General of the OICG, told journalists that residents of Agege had seen numerous development the Speaker had facilitated to the area as well as its environs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“A lot has been done that we cannot start mentioning. If we go into the streets in Agege and Papa Ashafa, a lot of developmental projects have been implemented and Agege is far better compared to what it was before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Today, Agege is a mini-London to us and the residents. I believe the people at the grassroots appreciate the development that APC government has brought to the area and they will vote for the party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Obasa remains a messiah that God has given to the people of Agege because he has done a lot that we can see, empower a lot of youths as well as market men and women,” Yusuf, a legal practitioner, said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yusuf further said that the group was galvanising support at the grassroots for Obasa and all other candidates of APC because of the gains in continuity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He argued that only continuity at the local government and the State could expedite the progress which everyone was yearning for adding that Lagos State had become a model for true governance as a result of genuine continuity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He recounted that from the administration of Tinubu as Governor of Lagos till that of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the State had shown leadership capacity with subsequent administrations following the steps laid by Tinubu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has shown capacity in his leadership of Lagos and deserves another term.

“It is also very good for the people of Agege Constituency I to return Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa to continue the developmental projects he has facilitated to the constituency which are too numerous to count,” he said while urging massive votes for APC during the election.

“There is going to be a difference with Tinubu at the helm of affairs if this nation.

“Tinubu is a master planner and one who knows the road to growth and progress. He is going to turn Nigeria around for good and Lagos will benefit.

“With the team that Tinubu would be assembling, there will be a difference in the condition of this country. Tinubu is the solution to Nigeria’s problems. He is a man everybody should follow,” he said.

Also speaking, Olumuyiwa Olumide, Director of Media and Publicity for the group, described Obasa as a revered leader and outstanding legislator who had done a lot for the people of the State.

“The developmental strides we have seen in Agege through the activities, influence and efforts of Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa motivate us to do this and this is the least we can do for him,” he said.

He said that the group was formed to complement the efforts of the party in the campaign for the re-election of the Speaker and other APC candidates.

“From what we have done so far at the grassroots, our projection is over 100,000 votes for Obasa in the forthcoming elections.

Africa Set for Divine Visitation as SCOAN Holds Revival

Africa Set for Divine Visitation as SCOAN Holds Revival

Johannesburg, South Africa — South Africa is poised for a powerful wind of divine transformation as Johannesburg hosts the highly anticipated Holy Spirit Visitation with Pastor Evelyn Joshua. The event, set to take place on May 16 at the prestigious Expo Centre, is drawing thousands of attendees from across South Africa and beyond, each with a deep yearning for divine intervention, healing, and spiritual renewal.

 


Described by many as a life-changing opportunity for divine encounter, the event is being organized by The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN), led by Pastor Evelyn Joshua, wife of the late Prophet T.B. Joshua. The revival has also been widely described as an avenue for divine restoration and supernatural transformation, resonating strongly with the faithful and spiritually curious alike.

 

Jan Matli, a Johannesburg resident, conveyed his strong belief in the impact the event will have. “We expect spiritual revival in the body of Christ as the Holy Spirit Visitation with Pastor Evelyn Joshua begins on the 16th of May. This revival will reveal God’s hidden power to destroy the deception that the children of God have been fed with. This visitation must bring total deliverance and transformation,” he told The SCOAN’s communications team.
Echoing this hope, Thato Mathibela, another resident, said, “I want to have an unforgettable encounter with God during this revival with Pastor Evelyn Joshua. I want to receive impartation and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.”

Africa Set for Divine Visitation as SCOAN Holds Revival

For many like Norah Dlomo, the event is not only about personal breakthrough but also about the spiritual welfare of families. “I want God to deliver and heal my family. I also want to grow spiritually with the guidance of our mother in the Lord, Pastor Evelyn Joshua,” she shared.
Among those looking forward to the revival is Abigail Fourie, who has a powerful testimony of past healing through The SCOAN. Delivered from a family curse during a visit to The SCOAN in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2006, she now seeks a deeper experience. “Since then, my life has been transformed. Now, I am expecting to be baptized by the Holy Spirit so that I can be all God has created me to be,” she said.

 

The event is attracting not only South Africans but also believers from across the continent. Anthony Victor, a Malawian residing in Johannesburg, shared his testimony of divine intervention. “My wife was barren but after ministering the Morning Water, which I received from a friend, she conceived and bore children for me. The God of Prophet T.B. Joshua is a miracle-working God. I am here to experience more of His blessings,” he said.

 

From the Democratic Republic of Congo, Patrick Isaka testified to the blessings he has already received through The SCOAN. “I have experienced a lot of positive changes through The SCOAN. I have witnessed many good things in my career as an infrastructure consultant. I am here to experience God and maintain the blessings I have received in the past,” he stated.

 

Among the most heartfelt expressions of hope came from Albert Ndhlovu, a South African resident who shared his personal struggles. “My life is messed up and I believe God will restore, renew and redeem me and my family during this revival with Pastor Evelyn Joshua,” he prayed.

 

As of the time of this report, the Gallagher Convention Centre, where attendees are registering for the event, is witnessing a massive influx of people. Crowds are arriving in their thousands, full of joy, hope, and expectation for a divine encounter that many believe will mark a turning point in their lives.
With the Holy Spirit Visitation set to commence on May 16, anticipation is mounting that Johannesburg will witness not just a gathering, but a genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit that could ripple far beyond the city.

Buratai Lauded by Top African Literature Scholar for Honouring Ekwensi

 

The posthumous conferment of the inaugural T.Y. Buratai Literary Initiative (TYBLI) Young Adult Literature Award on legendary Nigerian author Cyprian O.D. Ekwensi has drawn international acclaim. One of Africa’s most renowned literary scholars, Prof. Ernest N. Emenyonu, described it as a “historic honour” and a vindication of Ekwensi’s enduring legacy. In a personal letter to Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (Rtd), Chairman of the TYBLI and the Tukur & Tukur Foundation, Prof. Emenyonu, emeritus Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Michigan-Flint and Editor of the globally recognised African Literature Today, expressed profound gratitude for the initiative. He praised the recognition of Ekwensi as a timely intervention that will inspire a renewed appreciation of Young Adult Literature (YAL) in Nigeria.

If Cyprian Ekwensi were alive today, he would cherish this award as his most indisputably merited recognition as a Nigerian writer,” Emenyonu stated. “This award is a clear and firm vindication of his pioneering contributions to Young Adult Literature in Nigeria.”

The professor, who has written two seminal books on Ekwensi—Cyprian Ekwensi (1974) and The Essential Ekwensi (1987)—revealed that he is currently editing the late author’s unpublished autobiography, which Ekwensi had entrusted to him shortly before his death in 2007.

“This award has added enormous inspiration and momentum to my work on his autobiography,” Emenyonu noted. Responding with appreciation, Lt. Gen. Buratai (Rtd) expressed humility and joy at the commendation, reiterating his commitment to celebrating icons of Nigerian literature. He said the TYBLI Award aims to highlight and reward authors who have shaped the nation’s literary landscape, particularly in the realm of youth literature. In his letter, Buratai affirmed: “Your words of praise and acknowledgment of the significance of the award in the global literary community encourage the efforts of the Initiative… I look forward to the publication of Ekwensi’s autobiography.” The TYBLI Award, created to honour authors of Young Adult Literature in Nigeria, was launched to elevate the genre’s status and promote literacy among younger generations. Cyprian Ekwensi was recognized as the inaugural recipient in November 2024, cementing his place in Nigeria’s literary hall of fame and energized ongoing efforts to immortalize his work for future generations. Prof. Emenyonu concluded his letter with heartfelt thanks, writing: “Personally, too, the award has added enormous inspiration and momentum to my work now on his autobiography. Thank you, thank you, thank you!” This transatlantic literary exchange marks a historic moment in Nigerian cultural recognition, uniting past and present champions of literature through honour, memory, and continued scholarship.
