Obviously, we have recorded the first casualty. More may still come.

[Bayo Jimoh @bayorjimoh]

Section 77 has claimed its first political casualty and it may not be the last.

On Wednesday, the Federal High Court in Gombe nullified the APC primary election held on May 16 for the Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency, ruling that the exercise failed to comply with the

Meanwhile, in Ondo State, I hear the political contractors are already preparing to open new hotels. After all, with the season of consultations, alignments, realignments and nocturnal meetings upon us, somebody has to provide accommodation for the

That would certainly make Akinyelure an interesting case study in the evolution of party politics in Ondo State.

[Bayo Jimoh @bayorjimoh]

If Senator Patrick Ayo Akinyelure wins the Ondo Central Senatorial seat, he could make an unusual mark in Ondo State’s electoral history: becoming the first politician to win senatorial elections in the state on the platform of three different political parties.

[Bayo Jimoh @bayorjimoh]

Labour Party (LP) in 2011.
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019.
African Democratic Congress (ADC), potentially, in 2027.

Three elections. Three party platforms. One senatorial district.

We know how things were when Elrufai was there, it was toxic, Elrufai did a lot of terrible things in Kaduna state, he divided the state in two. Governor Uba Sani has been able to dissolve all that. We cannot never be happy with somebody (Elrufai) who has deliberately plans for the killing of our people.

The timeline is clear, and facts should not be distorted for political convenience.

There’s a reason Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa cannot contest for a third term. Any attempt to argue that he has spent only 18 months in office is misleading.

Transparency and accountability should remain fundamental to public expenditure and infrastructure development.

The flyover flagged off yesterday, in my view, is not the most critical infrastructure deficit we desperately need to address in Ondo State. That said, the government has the responsibility to set its priorities and make decisions, and it has done just that.

However, the practice of awarding contracts without clearly stating the contract sum, duration, and other essential details is becoming a worrying pattern in this administration.

Personally, I find this approach difficult to accept, and it is an
