Ebun Adegboruwa’s juvenile hysteria and emotionalism, By Ayo Oluwole Peters
Were he not well recognized as a lawyer of repute and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) to boot, one would have been forgiven for ascribing a personally signed press statement this week by Mr Ebun Olu Adegboruwa to the theatrical antics of an ignorant and deliberately mischievous mind. In his statement, Adegboruwa accused Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State…

ECOWAS in a cul de sac with military juntas in West Africa, By Paul Ejime
ECOWAS, from the tune of the Communique of its latest extraordinary summit in Accra, Ghana on 4th June 2022, on the political situations in three member states under military rule, would appear to have run out of ideas on how to restore constitutional order in the affected countries – Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso. The pattern has become predictable. Soldiers…

A Pan-Nigerian ticket, By Sam Omatseye
They wanted to shred the list but it ended a watershed for democracy. Some said it was down to seven, down to three. A frenzy in Abuja air. Other aspirants broke out in arms. Lawan as consensus turned out a con. Eventually, they let a thousand flowers bloom. In the pageant, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerged the fairest of them…

I hope I have not gone gaga! By Seth Akintoye
I don’t know if I have entered into any stage of dementia or just going gaga! But at the end of this article readers should be able to help seek appropriate treatment if you think so. I woke up early on the morning of Sunday, June 12, 2022, musing seriously upon life and my country, Nigeria. A popular American preacher,…

How far can Atiku go without Obi? By Kunle Awosiyan
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, former vice president Atiku Abubakar cannot win the 2023 election without the eastern bloc behind him. And by extension he will need somebody like the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi to go far. But for pride sake, I do not see Obi jettisoning his presidential ambition since he left PDP…

On this day, June 12, we celebrate democracy and commemorate those who have sacrificed so much to establish this most benign and noble form of governance in our land. Let us never treat this day as one devoid of special meaning, as just another holiday on the yearly calendar. We must keep in special and important remembrance why June 12…

We need leaders not a Christian or Muslim, By Kunle Awosiyan
I always find it irritating to start a debate along religious line when it comes to leadership. For me, bringing religious sentiment into politics is like reducing leadership to a sort of entitlement. For instance, Pastor E.A Adeboye is a Christian Cleric but I see him more as a man of immense leadership quality rather than a great pastor. The…

ADC, Kingsley Moghalu and Pat Utomi, By Simbo Olorunfemi
I am not one of those shocked at the loss by Mr Kingsley Moghalu at the ADC Presidential primaries. Not because I have always seen him as a Featherwieght insisting on boxing in the Heavyweight category. Not that. I had the hunch such could happen, having had the opportunity to watch a programme by the Party last week (I think).…

Aisha Yesufu: Old age, leadership and my America experience, By Mariam Jimoh
The video of this lady Aisha Yesufu talking about old men leading the youth that is making the rounds prompted this story. See a few years ago, I had the opportunity to work with this Soil Engineering firm considering my background in Architecture and then I had also badged a degree in Landscape Architecture. I know those who know me…

Hats off to Jagaban! By Olawale Olaleye
One of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s agelong political ideologies, is that power isn’t served a la carte. It’s a philosophy that encourages power seekers to go after it as much as they want it and like the kingdom of God, which suffers violence, take it by force and own it. But I’d never shared this idea with him. Reason for this…
