Worst Tenure In Osun History, Governor Adeleke Blasts Aregbesola - Politics

Image
  Ademola Adeleke of Osun Adeleke bags NBA award, denies rebuking Supreme Court over Osun LG dispute The relative relationship between Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, and the former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, appears to have turned sour, as the incumbent governor on Monday blasted him, describing his tenure as “the worst in Osun history.” The governor, according to a statement by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed in Osogbo, said he was reacting to Aregbesola’s threats to remove him from office in 2026, even as Osun is still suffering from the inhumane maladministration inflicted on the state during his time in office. He castigated the former governor as “a man who left a legacy of huge state debt, half salaries, scam learning tablets (Opon Imo), and several fanciful, inflated, uncompleted projects”, describing his tenure as “the worst in Osun history.” “The empty boast of Mr Aregbesola about 2026 is a symptom of a troubled mind who see...

Buhari left us with trillions of debts, supported Lawan - Sam Omatseye (Nation) -

Image
  by Sam Omatseye We have never had a leader like Muhammadu Buhari, and we may never have one like him again. He first stepped into the nation’s imagination as a soldier and exited as a soldier in some eyes and a soldier-statesman in some other eyes, as a bigot in some others. Some will continue to see him, though, as a man of mystery. Peter Enahoro, known as Peter Pan, and author of How To Be A Nigerian gave the first hint of his profile as a man of mystery when he interviewed him for his Africa Now magazine. He described him as “deceptively gentle.” Since Peter Pan’s characterization in the 1980’s, in his first time as leader, Buhari changed his image as a sublime chameleon in many ways. He was a military leader, civilian bureaucrat, fighter for democracy as revenge rather than as ideologue, a presidential candidate as a supposedly repented autocrat, a serial loser with a Lincolnian strain, a president who developed a cult and fanatical following who bowed on the s...

Dangote Files Paperwork To Build Nigeria’s Biggest Seaport In Ogun, LNG Terminal - Politics

Image
  Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has filed paperwork to begin construction of a Deep seaport near his fertilizer and oil refinery plants to make it easier to export goods — including liquefied natural gas — and support the rapid growth of his industrial empire, Bloomberg reported. Dangote plans “to build the biggest, deepest port in Nigeria,” took wings after he sent in the paperwork for permission in late June, he said in an interview. The proposed Atlantic seaport in Olokola, Ogun state, lies about 100 kilometers (62 miles) by road from the billionaire’s fertilizer plant and petrochemicals refinery in Lagos. Dangote currently exports urea and fertilizer through an on-site jetty he built, that also receives heavy equipment for the refinery. Once completed, the port will link the conglomerate’s logistics and export operations and rival facilities in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, including the Chinese-funded Lekki Deep Sea Port opened in 2023. Lekki Deep Se...

  A Lagos high court sitting in Ikeja has sentenced Alhaji Mohammed Gobir, a former director of Afromedia Plc, to 7 years imprisonment for a multi-million naira fraud. Gobir was arrested in September 2015 by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at his Ikoyi Lagos residence after an investigation into what was described as one of the most elaborate frauds in Nigeria’s corporate sector. Delivering judgement on Tuesday 8 July 2025, the presiding judge, Raliat Adebiyi, found Gobir guilty on all the 17 counts filed against him by the EFCC. The charges bordered on stealing, obtaining money by false pretence, forgery, and possession of fraudulent documents.

Judge Adebiyi noted that the scheme is a “grave breach of trust and a betrayal of fiduciary duty”. The judge ordered the convict to ...

Chelsea Slap £100m Price Tag On Nicolas Jackson Amid Serie A Interest - Sports

Image
  Chelsea have slapped a huge £100 million price tag on Nicolas Jackson amid interest from AC Milan, per the Daily Mail. The 24-year-old has fallen down the pecking order after the signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro earlier this summer. Jackson has also seen a significant dip in form since the turn of the year, with only four goals to his name over that period. Milan are in the market for a new striker after Tammy Abraham returned to Roma at the end of his loan and has since joined Turkish side Besiktas. Luka Jovic has also left the Serie A outfit following the expiration of his contract. The Italian giants are considering making an approach for Jackson after receiving an indication from intermediaries that the player might be interested in a transfer. However, Chelsea have made it clear they are in no rush to sell the Senegal international as they have set a huge £100m valuation. The Blues are also in a strong position as he is contracted to Stamford Bridge until 2033, ...
