Bola Tinubu’s worthy example, By Kofoworola Ogunnaike
I looked forward to the 13th Colloquium in celebration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s landmark 70th birthday as I did not have the opportunity to attend previous ones. This year’s celebration is far from ordinary. I knew it will be louder than anyone he’s ever held because of the fever his declaration of interest in the presidency of Nigeria will bring…

Hiding under the umbrella of insecurity
Security is everything, nobody can dispute that. You have to be alive to enjoy every other thing government is providing; roads, rail, bridges, airports, food security, in fact, everything. That is why whenever you hear President Muhammadu Buhari talk of the priorities of his administration for the country, he starts with security, stressing that before you can efficiently manage an…

Interrogating Osinbajo’s declaration speech, By Daniel Bwala
I do not think that Asiwaju is afraid of Professor Yemi because in the coming days, what people are going to do is that; they’re going to interrogate the claims of any contestants and contenders not pretenders against their evidence. If you take up Osinbajo’s speech, He categorized his speech into four places; The Economy, servanthood and loyalty, participation in…

APC constitution and nomination of presidential candidate, By Kennedy Friday
In his multiple live appearances on leading television channels in the country yesterday, the Chief Senator Magnus Abe, Mene Suanu 1 of Ogoni land, had stated matter of factly that the APC constitution does not provide for consensus as a mode of choosing a presidential candidate for the party. No sooner had he finished his engaging interview than a horde…

Least expectations, By Odi Ikpeazu
I am convinced that no matter which individual emerges as President, nothing much will positively be altered about the fortunes of our Republic. That is why the whole Presidential horse race leaves me infinitely colder than I would honestly have wished to be. In fact, I find it all very sad seeing that the entire exercise amounts to the proverbial…

Slandering Osinbajo with dubious parallelism, By Sola Adeyeye
Now that Osinbajo has declared his interest in the Presidency, it is time to answer the simpletons drawing wrong parallels in history by comparing PYO’s putative intent (now turned declaration) to the sad parting of ways between Awolowo and Akintola. Such comparison is rooted in abject ignorance and malignant mischief. We must clear these scurrilous insinuations from catawaulers whose sole…

OPINION: Osinbajo Aspiration: Opening Yorubas’ Flanks For Intruders, By Kola Amzat
Until when the news hit the airwaves like a thunderstorm, nobody believed it would ever going to happen. To the unsuspecting Nigerians, they erroneously see in the VP Osinbajo a sufficiently contented man, very much in hurry prepared to return to his private life and pastoral assignment after an incredible and life time achievement of 8 years tenure as VP…

Oyetola, keeping Osun satisfied and asking for more, By Funke Egbemode
It’s good for a man to know where he’s going and how to get there. It’s even better for him to know the route, the short cuts, that lead to his destination. Better still, it is important for a man to have the right tools and know how to deploy it. That is why I have always advocated that every…

Osinbajo’s declaration: Why communication and branding matters, By Victor Oladokun
I am glad VP Osinbajo finally came out to declare boldly what was long suspected … his interest in the highest political office in the land. After faithfully serving as VP for 7 years, he has more than earned the right to do so. I would, if I were in his shoes. Whether he can win or not is not…

Leadership and Tinubu’s excellent footprints in Lagos, By Babajide Fadoju
As far back as 1999, when what we have in Lagos today were only dreams in the minds of visionaries, Tinubu took over like that proverbial Octopus with all its hands in all the jars, weaving Lagos State from pit to the palace it is today. First was the gory sight of Lagos which was occasioned by pollution from different…
