 PRESIDENT TINUBU'S POLICIES, REFORMS WILL YIELD POSITIVE RESULTS FOR NIGERIANS, SAYS GOV AIYEDATIWA 


- As APC holds South-West Assembly in Lagos, gears up for Ondo guber poll



"As we continue in developing our individual selves and our individual states, having the entire southwest region in mind, let us also rally support for our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to succeed at the centre."


Those were the words of Ondo State Governor, Hon Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, as he delivered his remarks at the South West Assembly of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos on Saturday. 


Governors, former governors, federal lawmakers, State and national officers of the party from Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, Ogun and Lagos converged at the Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos to deliberate on national and regional issues.


Governor Aiyedatiwa urged leaders of the ruling party across the region to mobilise more support for the various policies and reforms of the President aimed at revamping the economy of the Nation. 


The Governor expressed confidence in the President’s Renewed Hope agenda, adding that with the ongoing reforms, the country is on the path to greatness.


Governor Aiyedatiwa emphasized the need to promote agriculture, noting that food security is one of the major challenges facing the country.  


In his address to the gathering, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stressed the crucial role of unity and togetherness in driving the nation’s overall development. 


Represented by his Chief of Staff, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, the president reassured Nigerians that brighter days are ahead, stating that a time will come when everyone will share in the nation’s collective progress.


He emphasized that his focus is not on the next election but on ensuring a prosperous future for generations to come.


Earlier in his welcome address, the National Vice  Chairman of the APC (South West), Hon. Isaac Kekemeke, stated that the event aimed to assess the welfare of party members and develop strategies to strengthen the party in the region.


Kekemeke urged party members to start focusing on the 2027 presidential election and the coming November 16 Ondo State gubernatorial election, calling for early mobilization of supporters in preparation for these crucial contests.


In his remarks, the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who also served as the event's coordinator, urged party members to collaborate not only as a political group but as citizens of the country. 


He explained that the purpose of the assembly was to exchange ideas and stressed that the South West is the heartbeat of Nigeria, with unity being essential for progress.


Sen. Ajibola Bashiru, the National Secretary of the APC, emphasized that meetings shouldn’t only take place during election periods, but should instead focus on nation-building and the party’s growth.


Former Ekiti State governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, in his speech, called on party leaders at both the national and state levels to collaborate and create opportunities to listen more closely to grassroots supporters. 


He also appealed to the South West governors to utilize their forum effectively in managing their respective states. 



Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, 

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Ondo State.

CRITICIZE BUT DON'T ENGAGE IN TEARING DOWN .

 Hon. Olanrewaju Stephen Afolabi, Councilor representing the wonderful people of APOI Ward IV urged people Of Ese-Odo Local Government not to engage in tearing down. The recent criticism within Ese-Odo Local Government has sparked immense conversations about the manner in which we represent ourselves and others in the media.  While some may see criticism as negativism, it should, however, be viewed as a tool for improvement. I will only urge those who engage in criticism to strive to be constructive in their approach, offering specific and actionable feedback rather than simply tearing down.  This is important because the way we represent ourselves and others in the media has a significant impact on how we are perceived and treated in the future.  To me, it is inevitable that criticism and evaluation will come your way.  In fact, it is essential for providing quality representation to the people. How on earth could one possibly think that they can give people th...

Ilaje/Ese Odo Must Rise: Time for a New Kind of Leadership

  For over 20 years, Ilaje/Ese Odo Federal Constituency has followed the same political pattern—electing male representatives again and again. While the past has played its role, one question remains unavoidable: Has this approach delivered the level of development we truly deserve? If we are honest, we know the answer. Because progress is not built on repetition—it is built on bold decisions and new direction. And as it is often said, we cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different results. This is why the call for gender-inclusive leadership is not just timely—it is necessary. Around the world, communities that embrace women in leadership experience more balanced development, stronger grassroots connection, and better focus on real human needs like education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Ilaje/Ese Odo cannot afford to leave half of its potential untapped. Now is the time to think differently. Now is the time to act differently. At the center of this new movement is...
