I said it long ago: Omisore is not genuinely with the APC in the Osun election.he has eventually sabotaged the party because my instincts have always told me he has been compromised.

If Omisore were truly working for the APC, there is no reason the party should lose the any part of Ife let alone lose his own ward to the Accord Party.

He is a force to reckon with in IFE but he sold out..

The human element of law enforcement.

What happened in Osun State with the EFCC’s action on freezing the state’s accounts, followed by the direct intervention from the President requires an honest, heated conversation. For our democracy to mature, we must rigorously discuss issues like this so there won’t be a repeat.

There were missteps on different sides, and we should be mature enough to acknowledge them. The law may give an agency the authority to investigate suspected financial crimes and, subject to the required legal process, restrict access to funds. But law enforcement does not happen in a vacuum. The law may be blind, but in its enforcement, we cannot be blind to human consequences. This is where optics matter.

A decision can be legally defensible and still be poor in judgment, perception or timing. In this instance, what may have been intended as legitimate enforcement created the perception of overreach. That is not something we should dismiss.

We must also be careful about creating a situation where the President has to intervene to stop or reverse the actions of an anti-graft agency that is expected to operate independently. Whatever the circumstances, that optics is unhealthy for the institution and for public confidence in the fight against corruption.

This should therefore be a learning moment. The objective should not be to weaken the EFCC or frustrate legitimate investigations, but to ensure that its powers are exercised with due process, sound judgment and a proper appreciation of the human and political consequences.

Because ultimately, the law must be enforced with both firmness and humanity. Justice is not only about what the law permits; it is also about how responsibly and fairly that power is exercised.

🚨 OSUN 2026: IS AMBO QUIETLY BUILDING THE COALITION THAT COULD UNSEAT ADELEKE?

Everyone is talking about Davido and Governor Adeleke.

But while social media is focused on celebrity influence, something else is happening on the ground that deserves serious attention.

Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), the APC candidate, appears to be steadily assembling a broad political coalition ahead of August 15.

Students have publicly backed him, although that particular endorsement has also faced a counterclaim from Osun NANS leaders who said they were not consulted.

Market men and women at Igbonna Market have endorsed him and pledged to mobilise votes, while traders at Sabo Market and members of the Hausa community there have also declared support.

Religious support is another interesting dimension.

The Ansar-Ud-Deen Society in Osun has declared support for Oyebamiji, while the Concerned Muslim Stakeholders and League of Alfas have also endorsed him.

Then there is the APC political machinery.

Oyebamiji's campaign has been building a polling-unit structure across the state's 30 LGAs and 332 wards, while prominent political figures and defectors have continued to feature in the campaign.

But here's the part people should not overlook:

Endorsements don't vote. People do.

A market association can endorse a candidate without every trader voting for him.

A religious organisation can issue a statement without every worshipper obeying it.

A student body can endorse a candidate without translating that endorsement into turnout.

And the same applies to celebrity influence.

So I wouldn't say AMBO has already won Osun.

Far from it.

Adeleke still has incumbency, his own grassroots structures, significant support among various groups and the powerful Adeleke family brand. Some APC and SDP figures have even defected to Adeleke's Accord Party.

But this is what makes August 15 fascinating:

APC appears to be building a coalition from several different directions — students, traders, religious groups, political actors and grassroots structures — while Adeleke is fighting to defend an incumbency advantage.

The question is no longer simply:

"Who is more popular?"

The real question is:

WHO CAN CONVERT SUPPORT INTO ACTUAL VOTES AT THE POLLING UNITS?

That is where this election will be decided.

Davido may bring the noise.

Adeleke may have incumbency.

AMBO may be gathering momentum.

But on election day, the ballot box has the final word.

And honestly, anyone confidently calling this election for either side several days before the votes are counted may be underestimating Osun politics.

August 15 could be much closer than the social-media battlefield suggests.

1 account is taking 962 salaries in Osun state under the Adeleke government.

Ha this is pure Fraud!

[OTUNBA @ManLikeIcey]

He’ll not lose, The President wanted him to join APC but his nephew(Oyetola) stopped it, the President doesn’t have an issue with Adeleke returning as long as he endorsed him, all the madness going on in osun is orchestrated by Oyetola

[Arojinle @arojinle1]

Science, Medicine and Surgery has really advanced. I just saw a video of a man that has oral cancer which has caught about 80% of his tongue and lower jaw.

The surgeons removed almost all of his tongue and his lower jaw.

They then harvested flaps and bones from his thigh, which they used to reconstruct a new tongue and jaw. It reminds me of how bones were taken from my hip and placed in my jaws too.

All health workers have my respect

Something similar happened to me once.

I was trying to send 50k to someone's Opay, I got a digit wrongly and mistakenly sent to another person.

Using the Opay digit put 0 at the front. I called the number to tell him that I had sent some funds to him wrongly that hope he won't mind sending it back.
He said wrong number. I was damn sure it wasn't. He cut the phone.

Later he called me back that, Yes he truly received the money but if I want him to send it back, he had to take his own share of the money which was 20k.

I was shocked, you want to take almost half of the money, wrongly sent to you. I sent No! Send my money back.

He goes I am still arguing with him?
Then says, when I am ready I will tell him how much I want him to take from the money.

Immediately, I called my bank UBA, Explained what happened, provided reference details.

Then I told him okay, take your 20k and send me the remaining money. He said OK! After few minutes he removed his share of my money and sent the remaining.

Luckily , UBA reversed the money and removed my money from his account too 😂😂

Now the chips were on my end.
I just saw he started calling me. I gave him a little taste of his medicine.

Then he said He saw that the money had been removed from his account, I said Yes, I reported the transaction and got my money back.

He didn't know how to say it, He Then started begging that can I send back the one he sent to me?
I told him, if I decided to behave like a fraud like him and denied receiving the money, what will he do?

He goes, he is just a hustler and he is sorry for what he did.
He started begging , begging ... I said I am not like you, I will send your money back.

I sent his money back to him, dude was shocked
He tried being my friend and started checking up on me on whatsapp.

I was just laughing 😂😂😂

This is an interesting tweet 😂. Please follow @folanski, @TundeTASH, @taadelodun, @Oludeewon, @MustapherSaeed, @olumuyiwaayo, @Olufemiloye, @BukkyOA and co.

My number one priority in the next 5 weeks is helping @OfficialAPCNg and our candidate Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji (@OyebamijiBola) win the gubernatorial election in Osun State 💙. I will be back tweeting about scholarships afterwards.

[SALAWU||OMOIYAONIPAKO @salawueedris1]

The Presidency through the Hon Minister David Umahi campaigned for Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji AMBO yesterday at Ikire when he visited the ongoing road construction of Ibadan - Ife - Ilesha road

We know who the President is Supporting🫵🏻😄

[Dr Dípò Awójídé @OgbeniDipo]

Over the past few years, a troubling pattern has emerged in our political discourse. Anyone who does not support Peter Obi is instantly branded a “bigot” by many Obidients.

To them, political neutrality is impossible, you must support him, praise him, and centre him, or you are automatically an enemy. You must also not support any other candidate.

I have been commenting on Nigerian politics since 2010, and in all that time, I have never encountered a political movement this intolerant of opposing views. Not even during the heated GEJ and Buhari years.

Some Yoruba people supported Goodluck Jonathan in 2011. He is an Ijaw man. Other Yoruba people supported Muhammadu Buhari in 2015. He is a Fulani man. But suddenly, in 2023, supporting a Yoruba candidate, one with a demonstrably strong record in public office, became “evil”.

On a personal note, the 2023 election was eye‑opening. I was defamed aggressively, both before and after the polls. The level of hostility shocked me. It felt as if a narrative had been engineered to demonise anyone who refused to fall in line and support Peter Obi.

Trying to understand this, I went back to history. I bought an Awo biography, because if you want to understand Nigerian politics, you must start with Chief Obafemi Awolowo who did well to document the early years. And what I discovered changed everything.

Reading The Biography of Chief Obafemi Awolowo in 2023, I realised that the tactics used by Obidients were not new at all. The same strategies of emotional blackmail, weaponised propaganda, moral absolutism, and the demonisation of opponents, were deployed in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
Awo documented them clearly. History was repeating itself.

That discovery reframed the entire 2023 experience for me. And since then, I have been collecting his books. Frame 1 and Frame 2 were bought off Amazon. Frame 3 was gifted to me today by my wife and kids for Father’s Day. Frame 4 adds even more context.

Understanding our political past is the only way to make sense of our political present. Guys, please invest in books. They will make you understand who you are, what makes you strong, and why you cannot be a slave to the opinions and propaganda of folks who don’t even have your brain power.

[SULE @Sambest0706447]

The people have spoken, and the message is becoming clearer every day. Despite bringing supporters from neighbouring states, the energy and connection expected were missing. The people of Osun are demanding a new direction, better leadership, and a government that truly puts them first.

The movement for change is growing stronger. With AMBO, a new chapter of progress, accountability, and renewed hope is on the horizon.

The people’s choice will speak at the polls.

[SALAWU||OMOIYAONIPAKO @salawueedris1]

The comments and quotes are not in favour of DAVIDO.

People don wise. This isn’t 2022✌🏻
