Political participation is best strengthened through sound political education, free from bias and emotion. The people of Ona Ara Local Government deserve serious consideration for the House of Representatives seat. This is not merely a political aspiration—it is a matter of fairness, inclusion, and justice. Since the tenure of the late Hon. Jenrade, of blessed memory, no indigene of Ona Ara has represented the Egbeda/Ona Ara Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives. This prolonged absence raises genuine concerns about political marginalization. To many of our people, it appears as though the votes and voices of Ona Ara no longer matter. If that were not the case, we would not have been denied this opportunity for so many years. Now is the time to correct this historic imbalance. An opportunity has presented itself in the person of Chief Oladimeji Ezekiel Temitope (OTOPE)—a humble, compassionate, and selfless leader whose life has been dedicated to s...

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) candidate for Oluyole Federal Constituency in the coming 2027 general election, Akeem Olatunji, has declared that opposition parties seeking electoral victories in the constituency should “look elsewhere” for votes. This was as he insisted that Oluyole has been politically secured for Governor Seyi Makinde and candidates aligned with his political structure in the state. Olatunji, who is also the Executive Chairman of Oluyole Local Government, made the declaration on Friday in Ibadan against the backdrop of recent political developments in the constituency, including a series of defections, grassroots mobilisations and the growing collaboration between leaders of the APM and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the area. The APM standard-bearer for the green chamber of the national assembly said the political momentum currently being witnessed across Oluyole Federal Constituency was a reflection of widespread acceptance of Gove...

The Executive Chairman of Egbeda Local Government, Hon. Sanda Sikiru Oyedele (Lajue), has commended the Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, for his unwavering commitment to youth development, inclusive leadership, and democratic participation, as demonstrated by the inauguration of the 3rd Oyo State Youth Parliament. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Hon. Sanda described the Youth Parliament as a strategic platform established to nurture responsible, visionary, and patriotic young leaders capable of contributing meaningfully to the growth and development of Oyo State and Nigeria. He congratulated the newly inaugurated youth parliamentarians on their emergence, urging them to regard their appointments as a call to selfless service rather than a privilege. According to him, the confidence reposed in them must be justified through integrity, discipline, dedication, and a commitment to excellence. The council chairman further encouraged th...

There are people whose lives are counted by the number of years they have lived, and there are those whose lives are measured by the number of lives they have transformed. Today, as Alhaja Chief Mrs. Bosede Modinat Adedibu graciously marks her 70th birthday, we celebrate not simply the passage of time but the triumph of purpose, character, and enduring legacy. Seventy years is a remarkable milestone. Yet, for our revered Mama, it is far more than a numerical achievement. It is a celebration of a life devoted to family, service, leadership, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to the ideals that strengthen our communities and deepen our democracy. History often remembers great families through the strength of those who preserve their values across generations. As the respected Matriarch of the illustrious Adedibu Dynasty, Mama Bosede has carried that sacred responsibility with uncommon dignity. She has remained a symbol of continuity, preserving a legacy that ...
