The voice of the people has reverberated from every part of our great state, and the message is clear.
I am deeply humbled by the scale of this victory. Securing a clean sweep across all 16 local government areas, and 85% of the popular vote is a humbling vote of confidence from Ekiti Kete.
From our urban centers to our most remote communities, you have spoken with one thunderous voice for continuous development, stability, and a future of endless opportunities.
This mandate means that our work must touch every household even deeper. There are no winners or losers today, there is only one united Ekiti determined to continue its journey of upward mobility.
I pledge to honor this immense trust by continuing to lead with humility, dedication and fairness.
Thank you, Ekiti Kete, for making history with us.

@OBoraxe@WisdomUk001 See different comments praising the sales boy as being "smart" and "hustling". Until it gets to us, most Nigerians see nothing wrong
Agulu said he would sit and consult with marketers and operators in the oil sector before removing subsidy...😃 The biggest and the most powerful set of cabals, for someone who couldn't sit to resolve doctor's strike in Anambra for 13 months.
1. There was no provision for fuel subsidy in the budget after June, 2023.
2. The outgoing government budgeted N3.6trn for subsidy for 6 months to be funded from borrowings. Subsidy bill for the year was estimated at > N8trn.
3. 2023 budget was N21trn. Subsidy payment alone without variations in volume and crude oil price was 38% of the FG budget. Could go up to 50% of the total FG budget.
3. NNPC already had a N1.8trn under recovery claim yet to be settled, likely for 3 months of 2023.
3. How long would his consultation take? another 6 months and another 3.6trn? Let's even say 3 months - that's N1.8trn.
4. Marketers / NNPC wouldn't lift a drop of fuel if they weren't sure of subsidy payment and that means, supply and reserve stock would dry up leading to scarcity of petrol in the first few months as elected president. The market won't wait for consultations.
5. At the end of the day, the marketers would mobilize the NLC and labour unions against the government and the subsidy removal plan would die naturally.
What a clown, offering simplistic statements to a deep institutional problems that 4 previous presidents struggled to correct.
If PBAT had left the podium without announcing the removal, the would have been the end of the plan.
Farewell, Professor Kola Oyewo
Farewell, Oba Lapite
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Kola Oyewo—scholar, actor, teacher, cultural ambassador, and dear colleague.
I had the privilege of working with him on Koseegbe, Oleku and Saworoide where he gave a memorable performance as Oba Lapite. His portrayal brought depth, dignity, and humanity to the role, making the character one of the film’s most enduring figures.
Ironically, Lapite’s death in the story created a challenge for me as a filmmaker. Once he was publicly executed by Lagata, I could not bring Kola Oyewo back into the narrative. I missed him then.
Today, I miss him again.
Kola Oyewo belonged to a rare generation that successfully bridged scholarship and performance. He inspired countless students, actors, and audiences through his talent, humility, and lifelong commitment to learning, culture, theatre and film.
Nigeria has lost a remarkable artist.
Farewell, Professor Kola Oyewo.
Farewell, Oba Lapite.
Your legacy will endure in the stories you told and the lives you touched.

Everything you have said about your preferred candidate is false
- He is NOT a graduate of ANY Ivy league business school. Not even 1. I will not explain.
- He has NEVER been a Bank director, NOT EVEN 1. You have to certain experience to be a Bank Director. If any Bank suggests PO as Director, CBN will fling it out.
- He was NEVER a SEC Director because to be a director in @SECNigeria you have to meet certain requirements, which PO can't meet.
The knowledge gap you have about Peter Obi is wide, there are too many things you seem not to know.
Study perhaps? cc @BlehisBack
No, President Bola Tinubu has not been convicted of any criminal offense.
The 1993 Chicago case was a civil asset forfeiture proceeding over bank accounts, resolved by settlement without criminal charges, indictment, or conviction. US records, including a 2003 official confirmation, show no criminal arrests or convictions for him. No other convictions appear in public records.
The bandit attack in Ogbomoso on May 15th was a terrible tragedy, but we cannot let grief make us gullible.
People are sharing a horrific video of a child tied to a stone, claiming it shows one of the abducted students.
But look closely at the image I posted. This exact fb post was already online on April 19th… weeks before the Ogbomoso attack even happened.
Back then, people claimed it was a stepmother torturing her child. Now, engagement-chasers are recycling it to fit a narrative about bandits.
An old video cannot magically change its backstory just because a new tragedy is trending.
The situation in Ogbomoso is real, and the victims deserve justice. But sharing old, unrelated videos for clicks and fake outrage doesn't help anyone.
Let’s stop arguing blindly, verify before you share, and use your heads. Misinformation thrives on pains.
Ijebus have been doing this for centuries btw. they didn’t ask for your opinions, attendance, sponsorship, leadership or suggestions lol. That Niyi guy made a beautiful highlight video that went viral one year and you all have been terrorizing them with your unwarranted criticism since!
I have a couple of friends within and outside Nigeria that are now fond of sharing every bad news about Nigeria with me especially from Instablog, Tunde Ednut and few others all in a bid to question my support for the President.
My response has been the same and quite effective.
- Where was your message when Nigeria recently eliminated the number 2 of ISWAP (globally) in addition to over 100 members in a collaboration with the US?
- Where was your message every time reports come out that thousands of terrorists have been eliminated in the Northeast by the military?
- Where was your message when Nigeria’s economy was listed among the highest growing economies in the world ahead of many of your favorite nations?
- Where was your message when students celebrated 3 years of no ASUU strike due to increased funding and the students loan?
- Where was your message when several citizens were celebrating improved infrastructural investments across the 36 states of the federation?
- Where was your message when state governors were praising the President for increased allocation which has stopped them from borrowing and helped pay salaries on time?
- Where was your message when Nigeria was removed from IMF list of debtors?
- Where was your message when companies that used to declare losses started declaring excess profits all over the place?
- Where was your message when Nigeria became a net exporter of petroleum products compared to years when we were the import king?
- Where was your message when leading credit rating companies started upgrading Nigeria’s rating after many decades?
- Where was your message when people were praising Tunji Ojo for making our passport applications easier than it has ever been in the country?
Why is it that you only remember to message me when bad things happen in the country? Have you been waiting for this opportunity simply because you didn’t like that choice of 2023?
Again, let nobody gaslight you ahead of 2027 due to recent developments that now sounds politically motivated. They have a right to focus on the criticisms and bad news while you have a right to focus on the positive ones while hoping for the best going forward.
It is a fight between those who want to take us back in time to the corrupt days when subsidy payments on fuel and forex ruled the economy.
A fight between those who just want their kinsman to become the President without any solid capacity and one that has proven overtime to be effective.
Their concerns must be duly noted but never get gaslighted by their claims on your choice. Come 2027, the only choice is to remain focused and return the one that has done the hard job which other presidents have ran away from simply because they want to win elections.
We will be there cos it will happen 😊.
After almost seven years at this club, it’s hard to put into words what this moment means to me.
I arrived at this club when I was 18 years old. Far from home, barely speaking the language, trying to adapt to a completely new culture, new life and chasing a dream that felt so big at the time.
I didn’t know exactly what the future would hold, but I knew I wanted to give everything for this club.
We didn’t just build a team, we built a family, an identity, and something the fans could believe in again. To see this club back where it belongs is one of the proudest moments of my career.
I want to thank my family, thank everyone at the club, the staff, my teammates, and every person working behind the scenes. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support, patience and love throughout these years never went unnoticed. You stayed with us through the difficult moments, and this title belongs to you as much as anyone.
This club changed my life. I will always be grateful for the privilege of wearing this shirt.
