OUR NIGERIA IS 66 🇳🇬
Today, as we celebrate 66 years of Nigeria’s independence, we celebrate the strength, resilience and contributions of the people of Ogun State and Nigerians across the country to the growth and development of our great nation.
At this point in our national journey, we must recognise that the task of building the Nigeria we desire is our collective responsibility, for Nigeria belongs to all of us.
It calls for responsible leadership, accountable institutions, responsible citizenship and a shared commitment to the common good. It requires us to rise above personal interests, differences and divisions, and dedicate ourselves to building a nation that works for all.
Ogun State has always played its part in the growth and development of Nigeria. We must continue to contribute our strength, enterprise and ideas to building a nation that we can all be proud to call home.
This is a time to renew our commitment to a Nigeria that is united, prosperous, secure and full of opportunities for every citizen. A time to take responsibility, serve with dedication and give our best to the nation we call home.
Happy 66th Independence Anniversary, Nigeria. 🇳🇬
If people like IBD Dende, Efele Ijebu, Abu Abel and other publicly known fraudsters are at the frontline campaigning for Yayi, you should by now know the kind of governor he will be.
We are going back to the dark days unfortunately.
I hope we all know what we are doing.

YAYI Promises to Build on Abiodun’s Legacy But Which Legacy?
By Korede Oladepo
YAYI’s declaration that he will build on Dapo Abiodun’s “giant strides” is revealing, particularly when the conversation is about the future of local governance in Ogun State.
For years, concerns have been raised about the ability of local governments to function effectively and deliver development directly to the people. A government that genuinely wants grassroots development must strengthen the tier of government closest to the people and allow it to function effectively.
This is not a new conversation for Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu.
Between 2019 and 2023, he organised a series of Good Governance Symposia that brought experts and thought leaders together to discuss practical solutions to Ogun State’s development challenges.
Prof. Pat Utomi and Dr. Abiodun Adedipe featured in discussions around wealth creation and economic development, while Mike Ozekhome, SAN, spoke on human rights, restructuring and local government autonomy. The third edition focused on power generation and sustainable development, with Sunday Oduntan among the speakers. These were not just political speeches; they were platforms for serious conversations about how to move Ogun forward.
Adebutu has also consistently advocated for credible local government elections and greater autonomy, arguing that governance must work from the grassroots upward.
Ogun needs local governments that work. Ogun needs grassroots development. Ogun needs a government that puts the people at the centre of governance.
That is the vision Adebutu has continued to articulate through his ITURA DE agenda.
Vote Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu.
Vote PDP.

Solomon Olamilekan Adeola popularly known YAYI spent 8 years in the Lagos state house of assembly.
Member of House of reps for 4 years.
Currently a Senator and has spent 11 years.
A total of 23 years as a Legislative member.
He’ll be contesting for Governor of Ogun state in 2027.
Nigerian politicians and greed.
If you are smart you will know the problem is because of his lies.
One man has claimed Ekiti, Lagos and now Ogun but you want us to ignore the dishonesty.
So what if Yayi is from Ekiti State?
Tinubu is associated with Iragbiji in Osun State. This same group of Yoruba elites saw nothing fundamentally wrong with that, yet he went on to govern Lagos State and ultimately became President of Nigeria. So why should Yayi’s place of origin suddenly become the defining qualification or disqualification?
We celebrate Yoruba sons and daughters who contest and win elections in the UK, US and across the diaspora, often in places where they were not born. Yet at home, some suddenly become custodians of indigeneity, questioning whether a Yoruba person or any long term resident has the right to aspire to elective office simply because of where they were born.
The Ogun governorship contest should be about competence, character, experience, track record, policies and delivery. Where someone was born may tell us their origin; it does not tell us whether they can govern effectively.
The real question is not “Is Yayi an indigene?”
It is: “What has Yayi done, what does Yayi propose to do, and what evidence is there that Yayi can deliver for the people of Ogun State?”
Reducing a governorship contest to indigeneity is an easy way to avoid the much harder conversation about competence, performance and good governance.
