APC has created more orphanage homes- Adebayo Olumoko

Mr. Olumoko Adebayo, SA Protocol to the Advance People's Democratic Alliance(APDA) National Chairman has described the ruling party APC has a disaster.

In a statement he released in Abuja, he said APDA is the only alternative party to reposition the country in the right direction.

Olumoko Adebayo said he believed that except PDP changes his name and attitude, they will never again be reckoned with all over the world. He said they have leaders who are so greedy with power.
It's cash and carry in PDP.


As for APC, it's good night, because they are about to break the Guinness book of record as a party to rule any democratic nation for just one term. All what APC as a party have succeeded in achieving is creating more orphanage homes, broken marriages, lies, feasible poverty, closed businesses, hate and insecurity.
We can not continue like this.



 I implore Nigerians to quickly find the nearest APDA offices and join. It's a party that's so ordained by God to create a country that works for all, irrespective of your status, your religion or tribe. Because all men are born stars, your dream is APDA dream.
Join us as we create sustainable prosperity for all he concluded.

Opinion: Dear Gomina Lello

I join your well wishers to celebrate with you on the completion of your edifice, it is so grotesquely magnificent that one need not aspire to go to heaven. This is a heavenly masterpiece that should last forever . It is an unrivalled template of a house in the whole of Migeria.You no doubt have taste my gomina. Your taste is befitting of your status your excellency, anyone with your kind of accomplishment sure deserve this one piece of architectural splendour. This is a big and fair plus to your greatness my Gomina. As they say in low parlance, carry go - nothing do you sir.

One fascinating thing about this magnificent heaven is it's location- strategically located in mockery of the poor. Your mansion will remind them to worship your kind of God , marry your kind of women and believe in your kind of belief. When they wake up everyday to see this best of the best, the pang in their stomach will gyrate not in hunger but in worm infestations. If the dominante Ijala people who have reigned supreme in the hierarchy of the Mugard House had built such a mansion in their land, their people would have been happy like your people of Ikene.

No! Instead of bringing heavens like you just did, they whimscally chose to build heavens in Ajuja leaving their Ijalaland to red muds and ego bloated youths. They towed a misdirected lane instead of the right direction you are using to bring subdued progress to your people. They build hotels in Ajuja while you build eye- catching opulence in Ikene. You are indeed a digital hero - even with hunger in the land, atleast we can still go to your palatial empire to take selfie in hunger . At all at all na him bad oh. If it's easy, let former Landlords of Mugard House show us their mansions in Ogbolicha , Onala and Edah. You are a true son of your ancestors- only a trained child goes out to the field and bring harvest home. You are indeed Omoluabi of Abira. I admire your lioness sir.

With such a mansion, we don't need any disturbing infrastructure like hospitals- no one with your edifice in their land fall sick , even with the rich stranded water in Bokoja , we dare not ask for pipe borne water, same way industries in Ikene may cause disturbance or vibration to your heavily crafted crib.

This is what concealed youthfulness can give, it affords one unlimited affluence. It gives this shallow falsehood of accomplishment. By the time references of governance are made, you will come top in the ladder of esoteric measurement as that young gomina who changed the governance narrative of logi. Like late Agunyi Ironsi's walking stick, your swag stick shall speak for you as that young man who walked the veranda of governance with giat and swanky bravado. Your boss in Azo rock will be too shy and ashamed to look into your eyes, your sight will remind him of his failure as a person. Do you know that even as a former governor, petroleum minister , head of state , head of lucrative PTF, the man couldn't build a new house in Daura? He shouldn't begrudge you abeg- you showed him that within 2 years in government, one can build a massive abode. Congratulations my digital gomina, this is how to go with directed governance.

All your traducers gritting,gnashing and grumbling of no salaries , tell them to come to Ikene and see what you have used their toils for. They will mellow and wish you well and even dash you a second term in the Mugard House. Walahi you are better in utilisation of our commonwealth- far better than the landlords of yesterday who used their old age not to build mansions in their country homes nor buy American Ford utility vehicles for their aides. You are so generous that you don't swag alone but with your youngsters in low waist. That is called participatory chopping.

Once again, congratulations your excellency Mr Gomina for this milestone. It is not easy to lead a people and not have where to retire to. I love your tactical dexterity- while the big boss was in kano commissioning 'disturbing' projects you led the rich, the super rich and the mega rich to commission your palace. They cheer you up in accelerated but ephemeral gusto as you cut the tape of your earthly heaven in the name of Allah , the beneficial and the merciful while the people you swore with the glorious Quran to make life easy for them watch from afar in unmitigated grief.

KOGI WEST 2019: Kabba/Bunu PDP Leaders receives and pray for Omoluabi, insists on Senate.

The Senatorial ambition of Omoluabi Bode Adeyemi (OBA) received a great boost as the PDP Leaders of the party in the entire 15 wards of the LGA commended what they described as the courage and capacity demonstrated by him to join the contest. This took place within the week at the residence of the PDP Leader of the LGA and Kogi state former Commissioner for Finance, Dr Stephen Olorunfemi.

The leaders took turn to commend, congratulate and encourage him as he continues his campaign towards the primary election of the party.
Prominent among the speakers were the former member of Kogi state House of Assembly and former Commissioner for Water Resources, Hon James Olumorin, Former Education Secretary of the LGA, Hon Ikuenayo, former Councillor of Otu Ward and member of Kogi State Civil Service Commission, Hon Ben Olorunfemi. The Leaders one after the other assured him of their commitment to fairness, justice and strict adherence to party constitution in the process leading to the primary election. They said the ambition of Omoluabi is in sync with the decision of the leadership of the LGA to take the Senate seat in the 2019 general election. Hon Olumorin described Omoluabi as a loyal and committed party faithful who has contributed greatly to the various successes of the party in his ward. Hon Ikuenayo emphacised on the rare courage, clear mission and commitment Omoluabi has put into the ambition. Hon Ben Olorunfemi described him as a brilliant, focused, resourceful and purposeful young man the LGA is proud of, he commended his singular effort in his ongoing legal battle at the Federal High Court for the restoration of the defunct Kabba/Bunu 1&2, Ijumu 1&2, Yagba West 1&2, Yagba Southeast and Koto-Karfi 1&2 state assembly seats illegally surprised by INEC.
The Leader of the party and former Kogi State Commissioner of Finance Dr. Stephen Olorunfemi commended the high level of organization, zeal and strength Omoluabi is going with the ambition.

Earlier in his speech Omoluabi described the leaders as the conscience, soul and pillars of the party, he said the efforts, sacrifices and commitment of the leaders have sustained the party. He went down memory lane on the untold, obvious and unfortunate political neglect and unfair treatment the LGA has suffered in the last 18 years of sustained democracy in Kogi west despite being the second largest LGA in the senatorial district. He said his ambition was predicted on restoration of hope, representation of youths in government, sound legislative performance and Federal presence in the entire senatorial district. He promised that when elected he will bring a newer, better, fairer and results oriented representation to Kogi West.

Political analysts in the state have argued that the evolving youths demand for representation coupled with his rising profile, Omoluabi stands a great chance of winning the election.
He is believed to be a politician that is experienced, who knows the terrain very well and have been a strategic part of several elections in the zone. The great students connection, youths support base he enjoys are also considered to be another advantage he has ahead of other aspirants.

PDP Convention: I will defeat my opponents ---Kola Ologbondiyan



A front-line contender and favorite for the position of the National Publicity Secretary (NPS) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Saturday’s elective Convention, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan has insisted that he is psychologically prepared for the assignment ahead.
He said: “I am psychologically prepared for the assignment ahead. I have consulted and campaigned widely among party faithful across the length and breadth of Nigeria. I have received overwhelming support. I am convinced that delegates will make a right choice in me”.
Answering questions from newsmen after consultations with various stake holders and delegates to the PDP Convention, Ologbondiyan said, “I believe my opponents have given up”.
He reiterated that “my experience as a newspaper Editor and image manager to the former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark from 2007 to 2015 will put me in a better stead ahead of my opponents in the management of the party affairs”.

According to Ologbondiyan, “this is the time to tell our story and change the narrative that will once again endear the party to the people of Nigeria. I am aware of the challenges ahead and I am prepared never to fail”.

Days after Gov. Bello reject anti-grazing law, Fulani herdsmen wreck havoc on Oba Jeledo daughter's rice farm.

Suspected Fulani herdsmen on Thursday invaded a farm belonging to Princess Olayemi Joledo Ayomah, the daughter of Oba Julius Joledo, the Elulu of Mopa in Mopa/Muro Local Government of Kogi State.

The decision of the Governor not to put in place measures to check the activities of the herdsmen has further embolden the herdsmen to cause more havoc in the state.

Atiku: 8 commissioners dump APC in Adamawa


Eight commissioners in the Senator Mohammed Umaru Jibrilla Bindow-led All Progressives Congress controlled state government have dumped the party, in support of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
The  serving commissioners , who belong to Atiku’s camp, include Dr. Fatima Atiku Abubakar, commissioner of health, Commissioner of Works and Housing, Lilian Stephen, Commissioner of Land and Survey, Yayaji  Mijinyawa  and Commissioner  of Youths and Sports, Mr Augustine Ayuba.
Others are Alhaji Daware, Commerce and Trade and Ahmadu Waziri, Agriculture.
The decision of the commissioners to move out of the APC, with their principal, Atiku Abubakar, has totally crippled activities of the state government, in the last three weeks.
With that movement out of the APC, it means over half of the cabinet might have effectively pulled out of the state government.
What is not yet known is whether Bindow and his deputy, Martins  Babale, would also eventually  move out of the party.
Atiku, who is also called Waziri Adamama, reportedly funded the governor’s 2015 governorship election.
This pitted  most APCstakeholders against the governor as they accused him of being loyal to Atiku.
State Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Ibrahim Bilal, had, while endorsing  President  Muhammadu Buhari for the 2019 presidential  race asked party members not comfortable with the decision to align themselves with the majority or opt out as the APC is interested  in keeping a united front..
The call to shape-up or ship-out by Bilal has reportedly not gone down well with most state government officials,  who  allegedly belonged to Atiku’s platform.
Commissioner of Land and Survey, Alhaji Yayaji Mijinyawa, confirmed the movement out of the party, yesterday.
Mijinyawa said his loyalty and others, as well, is to the  former vice president.
“Waziri Atiku is our leader. Our associations with him dates back a long while. It would be childish for anybody to think we would go against him.

“Even if some of us are deserting  the Waziri now, due to the pressure of office, definitely, you don’t expect his own daughter, Dr. Fatima, to desert him and remember, Waziri funded the campaign of this party in 2015, his funds brought this government  to power.”
Adamawa state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Abba T. Shehu,  confirmed arrangements to  receive the defectors.
Shehu said Atiku’s pulling out of the APC will ground the  party  in the North East
