Omigbodun's Attacks on Governor Spokesperson

The interview by the former governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party(SDP), Mr Goke Omigbodun in which he attacked Governor Ademola Adeleke was laced with misconceptions, mis-interpretation and many outright falsehood borne out of personal anger over a land issue that has since been addressed. As much as the politician is entitled to his opinion as a stakeholder in the Osun project, he should not have allowed his complaints over a land issue to colour his usually commendable debates on public events and analyses. Whatever way anybody may want to spin it, Governor Adeleke inherited over 100 billion naira in pension arrears and half salary debt when he took over. Paying those debts, meeting monthly salary obligations and paying a wage award bill of over three billion naira so far deserve commendation irrespective of personal grudges. The former governorship candiadte may want to note that addressing infrastructure deficit is a major step towards revitalizing the state econo

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy: The Extraordinary Fate of Emir Sanusi Lamido

Destiny cannot be changed. Just like the truth, however it is turned, destiny is always constant no matter how long it takes to attain. Many at times, the bearer may not know what he or she has been destined to become, it takes spiritual consultation, revelation, sometimes prophecy, to know what one has been destined for and how it would happen. Lamido Sanusi Lamido, the newly appointed 16th Emir of Kano who was once deposed from the same position in 2020 can be likened to be a child of destiny. Although, before he ascended the throne in 2014, He has always coveted the highly revered Emir of Kano throne and this was conspicuous in some of the interviews conducted for him but he didn’t know how it would happen. The story of Sanusi Lamido’s emergence as the Emir of Kano in 2014 could be described as ‘Reproach to Glory’; He was suspended as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and was just about the be arrested before he was chosen to replace the deceased Emir, Ado Bayero, who wa
