PRESS STATEMENT The All Progressives Congress (APC) considers the editorial of the Daily Trust of today, Monday, October 20, 2025, “APC Should Learn From History”, as displaying extreme bias, daftness, journalistic recklessness, and peddling untruths designed to malign APC. In that piece, the paper concluded that the action of state governors dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joining APC “portends a dangerous trend towards the erosion of multi-party democracy and a descent into a despicable one-party state”. However, it failed miserably to explain how the exercise by the governors of their constitutional freedom of association, and democratic liberty to…

By Fashina Olugbenga The ancient town of Ijoga Orile came alive in a grand display of culture, unity, and progress as indigenes and well-wishers converged to celebrate the much-anticipated Obalaju Day 2025 — a festival that continues to strengthen the community’s cultural identity and developmental aspirations. The annual celebration, held under the auspices of the Oba of Ijoga Orile, was marked by colourful traditional displays, cultural performances, and heartfelt tributes to the resilience and unity of the Ijoga people. The event not only served as a cultural renaissance but also as a rallying point for community development and youth empowerment.…

Aregbesola and a few others who Tinubu helped to become governors wanted to upstage him particularly in the SW. They possibly would have succeeded if Fashola, Ajimobi and Akeredolu (the latter duo both late now) had joined hands with them. While Fashola and Akeredolu were both approachable, Ajimobi was not. It was for that reason that Tinubu ensured that Ajimobi became the National Vice Chairman (South). Ajimobi became a senator on the platform of ANPP and Tinubu therefore thought of bringing him to ACN. The professor of practice in politics, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu thought rightly that if a man…

Finally, he found one: a man sentenced to de@th, about to be executed in the electric chair. The scientist offered the criminal a chance to participate in a scientific experiment. This experiment involved making a small cut on his wrist, allowing his blo@d to drain drop by drop. He explained that his chances of survival were slim, but that, in any case, his death would be painless and without suffering, and he would not even feel it. The condemned man accepted this de@th sentence rather than be executed in the electric chair. He was placed on a stretcher and tied…

“2027: Ethnic Politics Can’t Defeat Tinubu’s Performance” The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has noted, with characteristic amusement, the latest outburst from serial political tourist, Mr. Dele Momodu, who has suddenly anointed himself as a strategic adviser to a confused opposition – urging them to play the ethnic card since, in his own words, “Jonathan and Obi can’t defeat Tinubu.” While we thank him for finally admitting the obvious – that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains politically unstoppable – we must question the audacity and credentials of a man whose own political history is nothing but…
