Amidst a surge of alleged defamatory publications targeting Minister of Power, Oloye Bayo Adelabu, regarding his potential 2027 gubernatorial bid in Oyo State, the Adelabu Ambassadors have issued a robust defense, asserting that he is the sole figure capable of challenging Governor Seyi Makinde’s anticipated preferred candidate. In a press release disseminated to journalists in Ibadan, the state capital, the Adelabu Ambassadors dismissed the “malicious publications sponsored by mischief makers as a calculated attempt to undermine Adelabu’s character and political aspirations.

” Bi Omode o ba je Ogun kogun, itan kitan nii pa”. I read Baba Pade Babalola’s weak and baseless defense of the Oyo state Government in appointing a man whose roots have been traced to Igboora as the Eleruwa of Eruwa and I was greatly amused. We used to call Baba Pade ” Oba Lola” when we were growing up. He is a man very well known to me within the Community and in the political terrain. I am not surprised at all about his warped and biased position regarding the Illegality currently being perpetuated in Eruwa. As a…

Recently, a struggle began under the aegis of a Movement called “Ẹgbẹ́ Àjọṣepọ̀ Fún Ìtẹsiwájú Gbogbo Wa ni Ipinle Oyo” which was born on December 12, 2024. The vision of this socio-political association is Governorship Power Rotation (GPR) in Oyo State, which is the Pacesetter State. Now, it is good to look through the eyes of history to know if Oyo State is not just called the Pacesetter State for want of a name; or, was it for a more serious reason? Recalling what has happened before, students of history will remember that the name Pacesetter has been from the…

A couple of days ago, I came across the latest in the series of Prophecies as released by the Primate Elijah Ayodele. With due respect to the man of God, I have stopped attaching so much importance to his series of political Prophecies. I remember vividly well how he prophesied, very recently and asked Seyi Makinde to start preparing for the 2027 presidential election. It does look like the Governor of Oyo state took the prophecy very seriously because a series of events from the Governor actually suggested so. Last week, the same Prophet Ayodele said that except the APC…
