“FLIC (Frosh Live In Concert) 2019 is planned to be a concert where I give back to the street and the populace at large for engaging with music and also appreciating their passion for Nigerian indigenous artiste in the cause of the year.We bring all artistes who are raving during the year and also next-rated artistes who wish to use our platform to be thankful to their fans.”
"It was learnt that residents of the area said the explosion which jolted a lot from sleep was caused when an high tension wire landed on the roof of a house which had a cooking gas in it.Source: Vanguard
Victims of the incident appealed to the government to come to their aid after the incident destroyed their properties and goods rendering some homeless and others in debt.
I could not salvage anything from the fire. The most painful aspect is that the money I was supposed to pay into the bank yesterday (Monday), on behalf of my company, got burnt.
I could not pay because the bank had closed. My intention was to pay it in today(yesterday), only for the unthinkable to happen."
"The deceased who left behind a wife and three children, did not leave any suicide note.
It was said that Okojie who allegedly made two previous attempts at committing suicide, left home on March 4th and was found on March 8 while the rope he used to hang himself was found on his neck."
“Section 143(1) of the Electoral Act gives a candidate whose election is set aside a period of 21 days from the date of the decision to appeal against such a decision.
The person is entitled to remain in office pending the determination of the appeal. The commission will only issue the certificate if appeal is not lodged within 21 days. The commission has not issued any new certificate in relation to Osun State.”It previously reported that the election tribunal judgment on Osun 2018 governorship election ruled in favour of Senator Ademola Adeleke.
“While I was in Dubai to attend the Global Education and Skills Forum meeting, I received the news of the judgment of the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal declaring Senator Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the winner of the 2018 Governorship election in the state.Let me take this opportunity to commend the tribunal for its courage in nullifying what was clearly an illegality. This action by the judicial officers, albeit a first step in the legal process, gives renewed confidence in the judiciary at a time when there are coordinated efforts by some political leaders to undermine, if not destroy, it.As I have repeatedly said, the world is watching events in Nigeria with keen interest. What we do or do not do right in our electoral process will have implications not just for Nigeria but for Africa and indeed the world. By correcting what was clearly a desperate attempt to change the will of the Osun people, the tribunal has saved Nigeria from great embarrassment and started the process of saving and strengthening our democracy.Let me also commend Sen. Adeleke for his statesmanship in going to court to seek justice. This is the right and proper thing to do in any decent society. Going to court must be encouraged and not discouraged as some people are now attempting to do.While I have refrained from commenting on the 2019 elections because one of the parties has gone to court, may I point out that those who call themselves our development partners and friends and preach sacrificing justice on the altar of so-called stability are enemies of justice, democracy and Nigeria.We will continue to sustain Nigeria in stability and unity on the altar of justice, equity, fairness, freedom, human rights and democracy. Stability cannot be successfully built on injustice, corruption, inequity, and divided nation, and incompetence, nepotism and one-sidedness. Nigeria will march forward with or without those who will want to feed us with diet of values and actions that are not acceptable in their own countries.Nigeria is of age. And if Buhari could go to court three times to seek justice, even without reasonable cause, any Nigerian who feels denied of justice must feel free to go to court.Those who have conceived and are promoting the narrative that if AtikuAbubakar continues to seek legal redress there will be violence, are evil minds looking for excuse to unleash violence on Nigerians. At no time in history has sustainable peace been built on theft, injustice, corruption and inequity.These merchants of chaos and violence should have no place in any decent society. And they must know that no intimidation or prophesy of violence and doomsday will cow anybody. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians. We will respect as friends those who believe that what is good for their country should be good for Nigeria.Yes, we are Africans but we have values that are consistent with international standards. Court is part of our democratic process and it must be used when necessary if only to achieve justice, stability, unity and progress for our country.”
"Congratulations, Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke, the Governor-elect of Osun State. Congratulations to the people of Osun State. This is a victory for democracy."See more photo of the two Governors-elect and screenshot of the post below;
"A guy reached out to me..2 degrees, jobless, broke. I askd HR to invite him for interv without disclosing my identity. HR sent guy a mail; guy didn’t respond.

“The Coalition of United Political Parties has once again intercepted credible intelligence of a fresh plot by APC chieftains in Kano and Sokoto with the full support of Adams Oshiomhole against the Sultan of Sokoto and Emir of Kano.
We are alerting Nigerians to the plot and threats by the leaders of the All Progressives Congress to depose the revered Sultan of Sokoto and the Emir of Kano for refusing to bow to pressure to take sides in the supplementary governorship elections in Kano and Sokoto states.
The grouse of the leaders of the ruling party is that the respected traditional rulers refused to intervene and interfere to galvanise support for the sinking APC in Sokoto and Kano states.
Leaders of the APC are accusing the monarchs of allegedly taking sides with the Peoples Democratic Party and hence they have hatched a plot that if the traditional rulers do not help them to win the people’s support and they succeed to manipulate the election, that they will dethrone the respected traditional rulers from the thrones of their forefathers.We make bold to say that this is a lie from the pit of hell. The Emir and Sultan are rather appealing for calm and for the will of the people to be respected.
Leaders of the ruling party are boasting and threatening that if they win, they will force them out by setting up state House of Assembly panel to indict them for corruption and force them out using presidential support. They are also considering the use of the CJN option against these respected monarchs.”
“I will keep the business of governance very simple; without any complication.We will communicate and communicate with the people. We will lead with the fear of God. I want to be remembered for simplifying the business of governance. We will work very hard for the people of Oyo State and they will be the judge. We will use everything we have to make Oyo State better.”The governor-elect, who won on the platform of the PDP, gave the assurance on Southwest Political Circuit, a live interview programme on Ibadan-based Fresh FM radio.
"Hon Adebo Ogundoyin representing Ibarapa East Local Government has the leadership qualities for a vibrant legislative arm in the state.Also, In the statement, Ashiwaju Adebowale Boboye talks about Ogundoyin's impacts in his Political party (PDP) and the just concluded general elections at large.
He is well educated and full of experience, he is young and energetic. It is not only appropriate to support his emergence as the Speaker of the 9th Assembly, but to also make our state set the pace of a new generation of leaders by having the youngest Speaker in the history of Nigeria."
"Adebo Ogundoyin is a man of integrity as he was the one that awakens the dying glory of the party, People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Ibarapa and the State at large during the last Elections.
Hon Adebo Ogundoyin as a good and hard working man has shown his ability and Loyalty to the State newly Elected governor, Seyi Makinde as he delivers his constituency for him and the party during the just concluded general elections. he did not only deliver his ward and local government to PDP and Governor-elect, Seyi Makinde, he equally delivered the zone, this is a testament of how connected he is with his people.
Today with the clamour for a new set of young leaders, we are extremely confident that Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin would raise the bar of quality representation of the people."They hereby noted that zoning the Oyo State Speakership seat to Ibarapa Land will make the ruling party in the state stronger for rewarding loyalty and hardwork. Adding to that, they also guarantee a cordial and progressive relationship between the house under Hon Adebo Ogundoyin and the executive, under Seyi Makinde.
"The Guber and State House elections were very free and fair, and they reflected the true wishes of the good people of Oyo State."Pastor Olu Omotoso, the State Coordinator wished the Governor-Elect well as he takes over on the 29th of May, and he prayed and advised that the new Governor should ensure to deliver on all his promises, so that Oyo State can truly regain the status of the Pacesetter State.
