Voter Apathy, Logistics Challenges Mar Lagos Local Govt Polls

Voting officially commenced across Lagos State today as residents head to the polls to elect their local government chairmen and councillors in the 57 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).

Our correspondents on the ground report that several polling units witnessed low voter turnout so far, with many centres appearing deserted despite the early arrival of electoral officers and materials.

Security personnel were stationed across key areas, and the voting process is ongoing peacefully in most locations.

Though, residents were seen coming out to vote in some local government councils but there was large record of low turnout in many local government council areas in Lagos.

Naira Marley, Sam Larry Have No Hands In Mohbad’s Death, Auxiliary Nurse To Be Prosecuted For Negligence – Court

The Coroner’s Court investigating the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has ruled out foul play or homicide in the case. Delivering her findings on Friday at the Ikorodu Magistrate Court in Lagos, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi concluded that the singer’s death was not the result of any criminal act.

However, the coroner found that the actions of the auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who administered an injection to Mohbad without a doctor’s prescription, were both unlawful and professionally negligent. The court recommended that the nurse be prosecuted for gross negligence and illegal medical practice.

Citing Section 29 of the Lagos State Coroner Law, Magistrate Shotobi urged the Directorate of Public Prosecutions to take up the case against the unlicensed nurse.

The coroner also called for further investigation into a prior petition by Mohbad against Naira Marley and Sam Larry, alleging assault and intimidation—issues that resurfaced during the inquest.

In addition, the court criticized Mohbad’s father for burying him hastily without insisting on an autopsy, and faulted the singer’s wife for not taking him to the hospital promptly when he fell ill.

The court further noted that social media influencers and content creators had distorted facts about the case during the proceedings, in ways that could compromise the integrity of the judicial process.

Lastly, the coroner recommended broader reforms, including improvements in healthcare service delivery and stronger responses from law enforcement to protect citizens.

APC Considers Osun Governor, Adeleke’s Defection Bid From PDP

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is reportedly considering welcoming Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, into its fold amid growing speculation about his plans to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Sources familiar with the matter told SaharaReporters that Adeleke’s interest in joining the APC is not new, but the party is now seriously weighing the move, believing his defection could strengthen its grip on Osun State.

“Deliberations are ongoing about Adeleke joining the APC,” a party chieftain disclosed. “The thinking among APC leaders is that, as the sitting governor, his defection would be a strategic advantage in Osun. But the decision is still pending.”

Another APC insider in the state emphasized that the final call would come from President Bola Tinubu. “If the President gives the green light, the party will likely support Adeleke’s move. After all, he’s the party leader,” the source said.

However, concerns remain within APC ranks. Some members fear Adeleke’s entry could trigger internal conflict, especially among former PDP members who defected to the APC due to disagreements with the governor.

“The question now is, how will those who left PDP because of Adeleke react if he joins APC?” one source asked.

When contacted, the Osun APC Chairman, Sooko Taju Lawal, said the state chapter is not part of any ongoing discussions regarding Adeleke’s defection and has no official knowledge of such plans.

“We are not aware of, or involved in, any process of Adeleke joining the APC,” Lawal stated. On whether the party would accept him if he decides to move, he responded cautiously: “Let it happen first, then we’ll know how to handle it. I don’t want to say too much for now.”

Coalition: I Will Continue To Stay In PDP Even If Others Leave – Makinde

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has called on all members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to remain steadfast and committed to the shared vision of progress, unity and development.

He urged other opposition politicians that are in the coalition, especially members of the PDP, to return to the Party, likening their alliance as people who abandoned a house due to internal challenges.

Speaking at the end of the Party’s South West Zonal Caucus meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State, the Governor emphasized unity, urging coalition members to address issues collaboratively rather than leaving due to temporary setbacks.

“You can’t abandon your house because of a leaking roof,” Governor Makinde declared. He added that the PDP is built on solid foundations, and like any structure, it may face wear and tear. It is the responsibility of all Party members to fix the leaks, strengthen the foundation, and keep the house standing for the people of this country.

Governor Makinde acknowledged the sacrifices of all Party members and leaders and reaffirmed his commitment to working together with other critical stakeholders in the Party towards the success of the PDP in future elections. “Let us fix the roof together and keep this house strong for the future,” Governor Makinde concluded.

Oyo SEMA Issues Flood Alert for Three LGAs, Warns Residents

The Oyo State Emergency Management Agency (OYOSEMA) has issued a flash flood alert for residents of Ibadan, particularly those living in Akinyele, Egbeda, and Oluyole Local Government Areas (LGAs).

The agency is urging residents in these areas to take proactive measures to mitigate the impact of potential flooding.

In a statement released on Friday afternoon, SEMA’s Administrative Secretary, Mrs. Ojuolape Busari, said the Flood Early Warning System’s latest weather forecast indicates heavy rainfall is expected in the affected LGAs.

Mrs. Busari, who noted that the agency works hand-in-hand with the Ministry of Environment and Natural resources, advised that some areas could receive over 100mm (about 4 inches) of rain in the next 24 hours.

Mrs. Busari highlighted that the heaviest rainfall is expected North-East of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and the airport.

Her words, “The advice has become imperative to activate the concerned Local Government Authorities and communities to take necessary actions to mitigate the risk of flooding and avoid loss of lives, displacement, and significant damage to property and infrastructure.”

She added that areas around IITA (Akinyele), the airport (Egbeda), and the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN, Oluyole) will experience significant rainfall.

She warned residents that flash floods could affect streets, with low-lying areas flooding rapidly.

Mrs. Busari also added that roads may become difficult or impossible to use, stressing that heavy rain will make driving hazardous.

She advised residents to avoid driving or walking through floodwaters.

“Turn around, don’t drown”, she said.

Busari added, “If you live in a flood-prone area, be prepared to move to higher ground if instructed.

Tax Reforms: How I relocated my family, fled home because of death threats – Taiwo Oyedele

The threats began shortly after he publicly vowed to stop more than 60 government agencies from illegally collecting taxes and levies, Mr Oyedele said.

Taiwo Oyedele, the Chairperson of Nigeria’s Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, says he was forced to flee his home and now lives under police protection after receiving death threats for leading efforts to reduce tax-related extortion in Nigeria.

The threats followed his public comments about stopping more than 60 government agencies from collecting taxes and levies illegally.

Speaking in an interview on Nigeria Info on Wednesday, Mr Oyedele said he never imagined the scale of backlash that would follow his policy reform efforts.

He disclosed that he had to abandon the house he built over more than a decade and move to a secret location under the watch of armed police officers.

“My family got a death threat… I had to pack out of my house,” he said.

“I rented a place in a secret location where I live now. I’m not the kind of person that wants anybody carrying gun to follow me around, but I had to accept mobile police protection.”

Safety Concerns
Mr Oyedele said the impact of the threats went beyond him. His wife, he explained, now observes fasting every night due to fear for his safety, often losing sleep and struggling to function at work the next day. His mother who is close to 80 years, distressed by media reports, began fasting as well and eventually developed an ulcer.

“There’s this bit of sacrifice that people don’t see,” he said. “If you’re not in the public sector to steal money, it is not attractive at all.”

He added that the goal of his public service is to make a national impact, not personal gain. “The only consideration for someone like me is the opportunity to make an impact on a large scale,” he said.

The fiscal reforms spearheaded by Mr Oyedele’s committee were given legal backing on 26 June, when President Bola Tinubu signed four new laws,the Nigeria Tax Act, the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, the Nigeria Revenue Service Act, and the Joint Tax Board Act.

These laws consolidate earlier tax reform bills and are designed to simplify tax collection, eliminate illegal , and improve transparency across all levels of government. The reforms take effect from 1 January 2026.

Mr Oyedele said many of those who resisted the reforms were not low-level tax collectors but highly connected individuals who had turned government-backed levies into private revenue streams.

“The bulk of the money they were collecting was for themselves,” he said. “They have principals, and those principals are not small boys and girls. They’re big people that have resources. They are connected. So they will fight normally.”

Although police and the Department of State Services investigated the threats, authorities were unable to identify those behind them. Mr Oyedele said he believes the risk has reduced now that the laws have been passed.

“Now that the laws have been signed, there’s really no point for anybody to hurt me,” he said. “Even if anything happens to me now, I will die a happy person, because Nigerians will remember there was a guy who was trying to help his country.”

PAYE changes
One of the central changes in the new law is a restructuring of the personal income tax system. Under the new framework, Nigerians earning N110,000 or less per month will no longer pay any Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) tax.

Those earning between N110,000 and N2 million monthly will pay less than they currently do, while only those earning above N2 million a month will see slight increases in their tax rate.

The top PAYE rate will rise to 25 per cent, mainly affecting high-net-worth individuals.

Mr Oyedele defended the rate increase, saying it targets those with more capacity to give. “Even for these high-net-worth individuals that we are asking to pay a little bit more, they also are the ones that mostly own businesses or are the executives,” he said.

He also clarified that the rates will apply uniformly across all states, given that the laws were passed by the National Assembly and are binding nationwide.

The committee plans to embark on a six-month campaign to raise awareness, especially among small businesses and low-income earners, to ensure they benefit from the waivers and are not extorted by uninformed or unscrupulous officials.

No VAT hike
Despite earlier proposals, Mr Oyedele confirmed that the government has dropped plans to increase the VAT rate. Instead, the new laws remove VAT from key goods and services that account for over 80 per cent of Nigerians’ household spending.

These include food, education, healthcare, accommodation and transport. The zero-rating means these items will not attract VAT, and producers can now reclaim VAT paid on inputs, which is expected to lower production costs and possibly prices.

He explained the difference between VAT exemption and zero-rating, noting that zero-rated goods allow producers to recover input VAT and reduce the final cost.

“When you make bread to be zero-rated, bread does not carry VAT, and any VAT that you incur in producing bread, you recover it back from the government,” he said.

The reforms also allow businesses to reclaim VAT on capital goods, services and inventories, a move expected to reduce operating costs across sectors.

Mr Oyedele urged businesses to pass on the benefit to the public by lowering their prices. “We should not overburden businesses with cost,” he said. “Those costs have now been removed.”

Boosting productivity
Mr Oyedele said the ultimate goal of the reforms is to expand productivity and protect the vulnerable, not to generate quick revenue.

“We didn’t set out to do reform so that we can collect more revenue for government,” he said. “That would be placing the cart before the horse. The objective was to make the system work for everyone, particularly people below the middle class.”

He acknowledged that while macroeconomic indicators such as debt service-to-revenue ratio have improved from 97 per cent in 2022 to under 50 per cent the real impact on individuals will come once the new laws take effect.

“As people collect their salaries in January 2026, they will see that their net pay has increased, even though their salary hasn’t changed,” he said. “That’s the micro effect.”

He added that the reforms are designed to boost consumer spending, stimulate business expansion, and reduce inequality over time.

Praise for Tinubu
He credited President Tinubu for showing political will, even when the reforms became politically sensitive.

“Most of the things we did, we didn’t discuss with Mr President in advance,” he said. “They were blaming it on him, and he took all of it. He never, for once, blamed us.”

He said Mr Tinubu’s leadership ensured the reforms could move forward, despite resistance rooted in tribal, regional and religious sentiments.

“I don’t know whether any other president since our independence would have been able to put through what we have done,” he said.

2027 Coalition: Two PDP governorship candidates in Ondo, Jegede, Agboola join ADC

Two former governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Eyitayo Jegede and Chief Agboola Ajayi, have officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), aligning with a growing coalition seeking to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s administration in 2027.

Other prominent defectors to the coalition include former Senator representing Ondo South, Nicholas Tofowomo; former House of Representatives member, Prof. Bode Ayorinde; ex-PDP State Chairman, Tola Alabere; and former PDP Publicity Secretary, Kennedy Peretei, among others.

Speaking at the inauguration of the state chapter of the coalition, the coordinator, Prof. Bode Ayorinde, declared that the movement is gaining momentum across Ondo’s local government areas.

“All the local governments are with us. Our numbers are increasing, and we will continue to build on the momentum,” Ayorinde said.

He clarified that the coalition is not distributing money but is focused on grassroots mobilization and inclusive politics, stating that membership cards will soon be shared across wards and local government areas.

“The former PDP governorship candidates for the 2020 and 2024 elections — Eyitayo Jegede and Agboola Ajayi — are with us. Senator Nicholas Tofowomo, Mr. Tola Alabere, and Mr. Kennedy Peretei are also part of this movement,” he added.

Ayorinde emphasized his disinterest in elective office, urging leaders at the ward level to embrace inclusive politics as the state prepares for the next governorship election.

“We started with just 25 members. Today, we are over 300. This shows the failure of the ruling party. Ondo will be the first to take advantage of the ADC platform.”

In his remarks, former PDP Publicity Secretary Kennedy Peretei described the coalition as a necessary response to the current political climate nothing that necessary is dragging to one party State which is not good for democracy.

“This vision is at the heart of our youth development agenda and the Youth Parliament serves as a vital framework for achieving this goal.

“It is imperative to note that the objectives of this esteemed institution are mainly to equip young people with essential social skills, deepen their understanding of democracy and empower them to contribute meaningfully to public decision-making”

The governor highlighted the achievements of his administration with respect to job creation and youth development.

Earlier in his address, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Youth Empowerment and Job Creation, Orioye Gbayisemore, said the youth parliament would serve as a training ground for young people, who aspire to leadership positions.

Gbayisemore thanked the governor for running an inclusive government that ensures no young person is left behind, urging the newly-inaugurated parliamentarians to focus on their core mandates of protecting the overall interests of the Nigerian youths.

Remarking, Speaker of the newly-inaugurated Ondo state youth parliament, Ayo Shadrach, appreciated the governor for bringing back the state youth parliament, promising to contribute meaningfully to the development of the state.

The ceremony was witnessed by principal officers of the Ondo State House of Assembly, led by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Olamide Oladiji, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on ICT, Hon.

President General,Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes Barr. Chief Sulaiman Ajeniyi AjewoleAare Atunluse of IbadanlandAll other Protocols duly Observed.

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, beloved family members, political associates, friends, and the good people of Ibadan North Federal Constituency.

We gather here today, one year after the passing of a giant among men, to honor the memory and celebrate the enduring legacy of a remarkable leader, the late Honourable Musiliu Olaide Adewale Akinremi, known affectionately and famously as Jagaban.Our hearts remain heavy with grief, but they are also full—with gratitude, pride, and enduring respect for a man whose life was a radiant example of leadership, compassion, and purpose. We do not mourn a void; we celebrate a legacy.As the philosopher Benjamin Disraeli once said,“The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.”Hon. Akinremi gave us that great name and that powerful example.🕊️ A Life Devoted to ServiceBorn with a love for his people and an unshakeable belief in public duty, Hon. Akinremi charted a life path defined by humility, resilience, and unrelenting service to humanity. In every sphere he touched—business, politics, family, and philanthropy—he brought integrity, heart, and vision.He was a man whose actions spoke far louder than words. He understood that real leadership meant being accessible, listening to the people, and rolling up his sleeves to serve. As Mahatma Gandhi rightly put it:“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”And Hon. Akinremi found himself in doing just that—serving. Relentlessly. Lovingly.

🏛️ An Unparalleled RepresentativeIt is not an exaggeration to say that Hon. Akinremi Jagaban was the best representative Ibadan North Federal Constituency has ever had since the creation of that seat. He was a towering force in the National Assembly—not because he chased headlines, but because he delivered results.He sponsored and supported key bills and motions with direct relevance to his constituency and Nigeria at large. Whether advocating for better infrastructure, youth empowerment, educational access, or healthcare reforms, he never lost sight of the people he was elected to serve.He embodied the wisdom of Winston Churchill, who said:“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”And give he did—freely, selflessly, abundantly.

🤲 A Man of the PeopleHon. Akinremi was not just a representative in title—he was a servant of the people in every sense. He could be found at town halls, listening carefully. He answered calls directly. He showed up for the aged, for students, for artisans, for the sick, for people living with disabilities and for those who had no one else.He led massive empowerment programs, offered scholarships to hundreds of students, and created vocational opportunities that transformed lives. His love and affection to the notable religious communities was extraordinary.The President General, Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes hereby seated will bear witness to Hon. Akinremi’s commitment towards Ibadan causes. He never shy away from community development responsibilities.Akinremi never allowed power to distance him from the people. His humility was disarming; his generosity, legendary.It is no wonder that in the eyes of the people, he was not just a politician. He was family.“What you do for yourself dies with you, what you do for others lives on forever.” — Sir Ken RobinsonJagaban’s kindness, his passion, and his impact will live on.

⚖️ The True Meaning of “Jagaban”The title “Jagaban”—a name of strength, influence, and wisdom—fit him perfectly. But he earned it not through loud declarations or political aggression. He earned it through his tireless advocacy, sound judgment, and his ability to bring people together.He stood for justice, inclusion, and excellence. While others focused on political gains, he focused on people. While some played politics for profit, he played it for progress and he transcends party politics. He played politics of love and no bitterness.Simon Sinek once said:“Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.”Jagaban lived this every day.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A Father, Mentor, and FriendTo his beloved family, Hon. Akinremi was a rock of strength and source of love. He modeled the values of dignity, kindness, and discipline in his home. He was a father who led not just with authority but with affection.To his colleagues in the National Assembly, he was a mentor and a respected voice of wisdom. Many younger lawmakers and aides were guided and uplifted by his counsel and quiet support.And to Nigeria, he was a patriot. He believed in a brighter future for our country—and worked every day to bring it closer.

🕯️ A Year Without JagabanToday marks one year since we lost him to eternity. The pain remains. The space he left is still unfilled. But his memory is alive—in our stories, in our streets, in our hearts.As Thomas Campbell once said:“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”Jagaban may be gone from this earth, but he lives on in every scholarship, every rebuilt classrooms, every youth and artisans empowered, every primary health centers, and every life touched by his legacy.As Queen Elizabeth II once noted,“Grief is the price we pay for love.”And we grieve deeply, because we loved deeply.

🌿 Continuing the LegacyOur best tribute to Hon. Akinremi Jagaban is not in marble statues or long eulogies—it is in our actions going forward.Let us honour his legacy by being the kind of people he believed in: people of courage, integrity, unity, and compassion.Let us remember the words of Dr. Seuss:“Don’t cry because they are gone. Smile because they lived.”Indeed, we smile—because Jagaban lived, and he lived well.-

His five years in office has exposed the weaknesses of those who served before him and has created a big challenge for his replacement. His shoes are too big and wide for his successor.He gave us more than representation—he gave us hope. He proved that politics could be clean, leadership could be compassionate, and power could be used for good.“When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.”Jagaban is now a treasure in our collective memory, and his legacy is a torch we must continue to carry.May his soul continue to rest in perfect peace.
May his legacy inspire generations to come.
And may the Almighty reward him eternally for a life of purpose.We remember you, Jagaban. Always.
And we thank you. Endlessly.-
