The National President of the Amalgamated Union of Motor Mechanics and Technicians of Nigeria (AUOMMATON), Engr. Dr. Oseni Suleiman, has lauded the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as bold, transformative, and visionary leadership anchored on far-reaching economic, infrastructural, and institutional reforms. Dr. Suleiman gave the commendation in a statement issued in Abuja, where he reviewed the performance of the administration since assuming office, noting that the President’s reform-driven agenda is steadily repositioning Nigeria on the path of sustainable growth, national productivity, and global competitiveness. According to him, the Tinubu administration has demonstrated uncommon political will in confronting long-standing structural challenges in the economy, implementing policies that, though initially demanding, are already laying a solid foundation for long-term prosperity and national stability. He particularly praised the gover...

In the dynamic and often unpredictable terrain of Ekiti State politics, few individuals have combined ambition, strategy, and grassroots connection as effectively as Funso Ayeni. His political journey over the years reflects not just persistence, but a deep understanding of the realities of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, where success is shaped by timing, structure, and the ability to read the political climate accurately. Ayeni’s rise within the political space began under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a platform that gave him the opportunity to build visibility and establish credibility among the people of Ekiti North Senatorial District. As the PDP’s senatorial candidate in the 2023 general elections, he ran a campaign that was widely acknowledged for its organization, message, and connection with the grassroots. His approach was not merely about party loyalty, but about presenting himself as a capable and forward-thinking leader with the capacity to deliver meaningful...

Standing Gbagidi When Loyalty Was Scarce I must confess—this is a difficult piece to write. Not because I lack words. No. Words obey me like loyal servants. But because I am about to do what I rarely do: reveal what has long been kept beneath the surface… what many have wondered but few have dared to articulate. Who exactly is Rt. Hon. Bolaji Egbeyemi Olagbaju, the Deputy Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly? A quiet politician. A composed presence. A figure whose actions, if we are to be brutally honest, amount to very serious sins in the theatre of Nigerian politics. And that is why ,I say this without apology ,I hate her. Yes, I hate Rt. Hon. Mobolaji Egbeyemi Olagbaju. Deeply. Intensely. Suspiciously. Before you rush to judge me, pause. I owe neither you nor your generation an explanation. You see, I do not like people who refuse to behave the way power expects them to behave. I do not like people who are given influence and refuse to weaponize it. I do not like...

*By Dr. Olusola John Ojo, PhD* As Ekiti State gradually moves toward the 2026 governorship election, the political atmosphere is already tilting in one clear direction towards the consolidation of power by Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji. What once appeared to be a routine re-election bid is fast transforming into a calculated and well-structured political movement, driven not only by governance performance but by strategic alliances. At the heart of this growing dominance lies what many observers now describe as the “Bamidele Factor” the deliberate and decisive choice of Michael Opeyemi Bamidele as the arrowhead of the Governor’s 2026 campaign, a move already reshaping the contours of the contest and reinforcing the perception that the road to the Ekiti Government House may, once again, lead in only one direction. Governor Oyebanji has, since assuming office, demonstrated a governance style that prioritizes stability over drama and inclusion over division. In a political environme...
