It was just a harmless one-liner, but it became the most memorable part of that historic speech. “Subsidy is gone and gone for good.” That was President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on his inauguration at the iconic Eagle Square, Abuja on May 29, 2023.
Protests continue to greet the outcome of the primary elections organised to pick the Chairmanship and Councillorship candidates of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the forthcoming local council elections in the state.
When the list of the Chairmanship candidates of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the coming council elections in the state, one name conspicuously stood out.
It is both laughable and disturbing that in a desperate bid to whitewash the disgraceful outcome of the just concluded APC Local Government primaries in Agege and Orile-Agege, a cabal of entrenched loyalists—whose loyalty lies not with the people but with a single political overlord—has issued a communiqué full of distortions, half-truths, and outright falsehoods.
In a developing political drama that has captivated the Agege Local Government Area, politicians and residents have continued to express joy over the disqualification of Abdulganiyu, son of the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa as candidate in the forthcoming chairmanship election.
Fresh revelations have emerged on why the outgoing Chairman of Agege Local Government, Hon. Ganiyu Egunjobi, is allegedly opposed to his Vice Chairman, Hon. Gbenga Abiola, popularly known as Agbelebu from succeeding him.
For All Progressives Congress (APC) in Agege Local Government Area of Lagos State, the party has completed its chairmanship screening exercise, clearing seven aspirants to contest in the upcoming primary election.
The decision by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to drop Abdul Ganiyu Obasa, son of the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa does not go down well with the Speaker.
