I was at the hospital where Alhaji Taiwo Hassan "Ogogo" is admitted, and honestly, he is not looking good at all.
In fact, he doesn’t even have the strength for any concoction right now.
He can’t eat anymore.
I never knew it had gotten to this stage.
Please, let’s continue to put him in our prayers. There’s nothing our God cannot do. I dropped off all the concoctions with them yesterday, but at this point, it will take the grace of God.

Earlier today, I attended the inauguration of the APC National Campaign Council for the upcoming Osun State Governorship Election at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.
As progressive leaders, our commitment to good governance and regional development remains unwavering.
We stand fully united as a party to support our candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), present our track record of service, and deliver a resounding victory for the people of Osun State.
The journey to deepen progressive leadership across the Southwest continues.

BAYO ADELABU, YOU CAN STILL BE GOVERNOR
I want this post to be saved for future reference.
Adelabu can still be Governor depending on how he accepts the result of the last Thursday's APC Governorship Primary in Oyo State. Although, the result is yet to be announced officially, feelers from reliable sources have confirmed Sharafa Alli’s victory. If this is true, it shouldn't be attributed to rigging by, especially Adelabu, it is the choice of Party’s Leadership. In Party politics, Leadership controls the followership and gives direction. If anyone is dissatisfied with the leadership of his or her political party, that person needs to quit the party. You cannot use followership to fight leadership in a political party. For example, those PDP Governors that joined the APC, joined because leadership invited them. A governor that joined APC without leadership invitation eventually surrendered and dropped himself from the contest! The Governors that joined APC from PDP, say Zamfara State Governor for example, how did he emerge as APC flagbearer today? Is it because he can defeat Matawalle in the APC? NO! It is because the entire leadership structure of the party wants Dauda Lawal, and the followers will always go with their leaders, afterall, nearly all the contestants today were also made by leadership of the party yesterday.
Don't let anyone gaslight you, Leadership is key.
My advice to Adelabu is to accept the result wholeheartedly and work with the choice of APC. Doing so has tremendous advantages for him and not doing so will not do him any good. His decision at this moment is very critical to his political future. Being a young man in his 50s, he can still regain his support in the APC Leadership if he abides by their current decision. Yesterday the President said "I'm satisfied with the all the process of this Primary election in all stages of it". The President is your political father.
Future is not as far as we think. Let it be on record that you gave the winner 100% support. Let it be on record that you supported the party to stop Seyi's evil 3.0 agenda. And the future can be yours when the future comes.
Happy Sunday to All Progressives Only ❤️
Today, I am honoured by the endorsement of my Governor, my brother and my friend, HE Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
His trust means a great deal to me. We’ve worked side by side in the service of Lagos State, and I don’t take this vote of confidence lightly.
I remain committed to building on the progress we’ve made together, and look forward to serving Lagosians with integrity, focus and a clear sense of purpose.
When my school called me back after expelling me, my family was very happy. They said this is the chance we prayed for. Go back, finish engineering and forget this art matter. I went back and finished two more years. I still graduated with a four point, a strong second class upper. On paper it looked like victory. Inside it felt like delay.
I often ask why God allows delay. People say it builds character, and I believe that. There are some attitudes you must drop before you sit on any throne. Ego and pride must fall off. That season showed me that even when I think I am in control, God can still steer me back to the path He planned.

AJ,
I extend my deep sympathies to you following the tragic accident on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, which claimed two precious lives and caused you injuries.
This immense tragedy casts a deep shadow on this season.
I sympathise with you and your family as you bear the emotional weight of this unfortunate incident. As a sportsman, you have always shown courage, discipline, and unwavering love for our country. These are qualities that have made you a source of national pride.
In moments like this, we must encourage one another as brothers and sisters with a shared destiny.
I pray for strength, wisdom, and grace for you during this painful period. May God grant you a speedy recovery and repose to the souls of the departed.

“What is happening in Nigeria does not amount to genocide against Christians. Over 40 years that I have been a Christian, there have been killings in southern Kaduna, killings on the Plateau, there have been riots. Sometimes, I think it was in France, an image of Prophet Muhammad was defaced, and as a result of that, there were killings of Christians in Nigeria.
“It’s nothing new. It doesn’t amount to genocide. The way the West are talking about it, it’s as if a Christian steps on the street, his head will be blown off.”
—Pastor Wale Adefarasin, Senior Pastor of Guiding Light Assembly
🗣️ | Billionaire Arthur Eze on why he joined APC and donned PBAT’s cap:
"Not only did I wear Tinubu's cap, I also sang his popular mandate song (he smiled) .
You see.....Only a fool will not see the economic reformation President Tinubu is driving, and it’s already yielding results. APC is the best party in Nigeria today, and you think I won’t join them? All those useless noisemaker Ekukes are blind. That’s why they believe a man who did absolutely nothing as governor for eight years is better than the man who built Lagos’ economy. If they are fools, I’m not."
My Dear Son, Seyi,
As you turn forty, I thank Almighty God for your life and the man you have become. You have walked your path with focus, courage, and humility, and you have done so with a heart that seeks to build, serve, and uplift others.
From an early age, you have shown determination and a desire to create and lead. I have watched you turn ideas into institutions and challenges into opportunities. In business through Loatsad and your various endeavors, and in service, you have shown that true success is not only measured by wealth or power but by the impact we make and the lives we touch.
Forty is a special age. It bridges youthful drive and the more profound wisdom that life brings. You have carried your name with honour and have remained faithful to the values of discipline, integrity, and hard work.
Through your work with the Noella Foundation, you have brought hope to families across Nigeria, created opportunities for many young people, and extended compassion to those in need. Your commitment to philanthropy, especially in education, social development, youth empowerment, and maternal and child welfare, reflects the values I hold dear.
Our entire family is proud of you. We are proud of the family you are building with Layal, your devotion as a husband and father, and your commitment to making a difference in your generation.
As you celebrate this milestone, remember that your strength lies in what you achieve and how you inspire others to believe. May God bless you with wisdom, good health, and peace.
Happy 40th Birthday, my son. You have made us proud, and I know you will continue to make Nigeria proud.
Your Dad,
Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
The Aso Villa,
Abuja
Nigeria will now have to play in the playoffs, and if we win, we’ll advance to the intercontinental playoff where we’ll face teams from Asia, South America, Oceania, and CONCACAF for a chance to secure Africa’s 10th and final spot at the World Cup.
“To a fatherly, compassionate, and decisive political leader, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, God, and history shall remember you.
“Mr President has cast a warm blanket over me, pulling me back from the harshness of yesterday’s cold. A day like this is not for a long treatise.
“I lie, prostrate utterly humble in my heart and entire being, grateful for the mercy which Allah (SWT), through Mr President and my country, have shown me.”
