A Former Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation, two-term member, House of Representatives Egbeda/Ona Ara Federal Constituency, Deputy Director Monitoring and Evaluation PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Oyo State, Hon. Festus Adewale Adegoke has disassociated himself from the trending report that has been flying around, alleging him and other Presidential Campaign Council Members that they have agreed to work for APC gubernatorial candidate in Oyo state.
According to Hon. Wale Adegoke, he stated that at no point in time did he attend any PDP-PCC meeting in the State where such decision was made and he called on those spreading the fake news to desist from such.
Hon. Wale Adegoke implored all FADEG support groups throughout the 33 Local Government Areas to disregard the fake news.
Former member of the House of Representatives and Deputy Director Monitoring and Evaluation PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Oyo State, Hon. Festus Adewale Adegoke has been appointed as the Principal Technical Officer PTO for the 2023 Presidential Election.
According to a message signed by the Assistant Director, CSOs, PDP- Presidential Campaign Management Council (PCMC), Hon. Kunle Yusuf, MON, the appointment takes immediate effect and he’s saddled with the responsibility to manage, organize and coordinate INEC Accredited Observers in Oyo State during the 2023 Presidential Election coming up on February 25.
In his response, Hon. Wale Adegoke appreciated the PCMC for finding him worthy for the responsibility and reiterated his support in ensuring that H.E Atiku Abubakar emerges victorious in the coming Presidential Election.
The All Progressives Congress APC in Oyo state has cautioned a former minister of state for the Federal Capital Territory, Ms Jumoke Akinjide, to thread softly and refrain from making futile attempts on the mass media with a view to running down the presidential candidate of the APC, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is favoured to defeat Atiku Abubakar and others in the presidential election coming up this Saturday.
The former minister under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan appeared on a private radio station at the weekend where she again made some disparaging comments about Sen. Bola Tinubu in an apparent effort to mobilize support for Atiku Abubakar of the PDP which she represented.
While reacting to Ms Akinjide’s outbursts in a statement issued on Sunday and made available to journalists in Ibadan by its Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, Oyo APC described the daughter of the former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General as a failed political player who was desperate to make a comeback to reckoning and also take an advantage of the vulnerability of Atiku to dispossess him of his money.
“With what the whole world was able to see as massive support for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu last Thursday when he visited Ibadan for the presidential rally of the APC, it would make no sense for us to engage in a battle of wits with any political jobber in the PDP or any other party. Despite the adverse effects of ill-timed cashless policy sponsored by some unfriendly forces to discredit the APC ahead of the general election, people trooped to the streets of Ibadan to show love and support to Tinubu.
“This obviously jolted the likes of Ms Akinjide who felt the best thing to do was to embark on a fresh campaign of calumny against the popular choice of the masses with a view to giving a false hope to Atiku Abubakar of the PDP. Meanwhile, one would have loved to listen to the manifesto and programmes of the former vice president from Ms Akinjide in the course of the interview but she chose to boxing the shadow as she made Tinubu her only subject of discourse for about an hour.
“We have had promptings from many concerned members of the public who wanted us to remind the public about the similar inglorious path which Jumoke’s dad took against Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Uncle Bola Ige in 1979 and 1983 respectively as well as many other historical events which lend credence to the anti-Yoruba mantra of the Akinjides but we are of the opinion that we do not have to travel that route for obvious reasons even as we remain focused and determined to secure a well deserved victory for Asiwaju and his running mate, Sen. Kassim Shettima, this Saturday.
“But for personal ambitious, covetousness and greed, people like Jumoke Akinjide would know that a southerner must succeed President Muhammadu Buhari while Bola Tinubu stands tall among all the contestants for the coveted seat. As it is on record that Ms Akinjide has never contested and won any election in her life, we would like to admonish her to always think beyond her own whims and caprices before seeking the support of the people because history would not be kind to her after the conclusion of the this year general election which Nigerians are ready to take advantage of and throw up Tinubu as their president.” Sadare stated.
The All Progressives Congress APC in Oyo state has called on Governor Seyi Makinde to either refund the whopping sum of N5.2billion which his administration purportedly spent on the remodeling of the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan or risk being dragged to the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to account for the alleged fraud involved in the award and execution of the ‘failed project’.
This latest reaction from Oyo APC, apparently, came against the backdrop of the reports credited to the Interim Management Committee (IMC) which described the soccer pitch of the Adamasingba Stadium (the home ground of the Shooting Stars Sports Club) as falling below standard and unplayable. IMC is the body set up by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to oversee the nation’s elite soccer league.
In a statement issued on Wednesday and made available to journalists in Ibadan by its Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, Oyo APC berated Gov. Makinde over his refusal to explain to the world the details of all the stadiums and sport facilities he has used the sum of N5.2b to fix since he claimed that the said amount was not expended on only Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan.
“Most of our people who visited the Stadium in Adamasingba to watch the recent home matches of our darling team (3SC) against El-Kanemi Warriors and Nasarawa United respectively had given an unpleasant report about the whole stadium facility particularly the soccer pitch which has just been confirmed as an eyesore by the IMC. This is against the impression which the Makinde administration had created through the mass media.
“It is recalled that the lid was first blown open on the very day the purportedly remodeled stadium was being recommissioned and the event attracted disgrace to Gov. Makinde and the good people of the state instead of the anticipated applause. It happened that the whole place became waterlogged and messy as a result of a minor downpour. What happened on that day should have made Gov. Makinde throw in the towel but he only followed it up another media campaign equating the substandard stadium facility with those of Maracana, Emirates and Nou Camp in Brazil, England and Spain respectively.
“Meanwhile, the revelation coming from IMC about the sordid job done on Adamasingba Stadium did not come to us as a surprise since we had established that the present PDP administration of Gov. Makinde is synonymous with fraudulent contract awards and poor delivery. This is a government that would sponsor some cronies to register some companies with the Corporate Affairs Commission today with a view to giving the emergency construction outfits tomorrow without any recourse to Due Process law.
“Sad enough, we also have it on good authority that the orchestrated 5 kilometre road contract award imposed on each of the 33 Local Government Council chairmen totalling 165 kilometres across the state has been given out to the same fake company being used to siphon the resources of the state since 2019. The arrangement this time is for the proxies behind the company to attend to some street roads across Ibadan at random after collecting the full sum for the inflated 165Km road contract and then disappear.” Oyo APC lamented.

Hon. RAMATA AGBEREMI DABO popularly baptized as RAD, after she lost out of the Party primaries in the just concluded Lagelu/ Akinyele Federal Constituency Election that eventually emerged her closest friend and contestant, Hon. Adetokunbo Adeaga whose Leadership has been cordial and worthwhile as the candidate, flagbearer of the party PDP at the 2023 general elections had put in her public statement on the big surprise coming in no time.
Let’s get it cracking. Most Distinguished Hon. Ramata’s team ran into one of the renounced investigator in Ibadan Oyo State Nigeria at a spot with an item, Big Chest Freezer. The team explained after an engaging session that, it’s one of the surprise gifts for some of her loyal followers and those who believes in her aspiration during the primaries.
From her statement: They were not just any people, but loyal, hardworking. They didn’t have anything, but the little they had, gave me their most expensive time, made posters, T. Shirts and many more, they were just there for me no matter how little.
Moreso, they were working night and day, transportation from one place to another without me giving them any Kobo. Look Ijoba, these are the kind of people we need, well committed, kind heart souls that really wanted change for a better future ahead.
Among the beneficiaries from Lagelu/Akinyele Federal Constituency of Hon. Ramata were different business owners in their locations. They were not informed of any gift to be given to them, item was delivered, presented a brand new Big Chest Freezer as well for those to receive cash gifts respectively.
The Team Rad in a surprising moving train, contacted them to know their respective locations and presented them each the sum of N100,000. Sincerely speaking, they were taken aback because it wasn’t expected and they appreciated the most expensive kind gesture of Hon. Ramata Agberemi at this economic downtime in Nigeria.
Speaking to the newsman by one of the beneficiaries, “I only did what I did (vote) to established conscience, trust, loyalty and responsible Leadership exhibited by Ramata and we are so proud of her in this Constituency that such an aspirant like her is rare despite the outcome of the election”
Hon. Ramata Agberemi responding to the reasons behind her action. Let me be sincere with you Ijoba Authority Moe, it wasn’t easy doing this for them, but it’s something I have concluded in my mind to do irrespective of any circumstances beyond me. I am Celebrating their loyalty so that others can be taught to have a good heart and become the change agent for good Governance Good Politics and Policies that brings Democracy to the Grassroots she said.
Meanwhile, You don’t have to sell your votes, loyalty for peanuts. If you worked hard, dedicated, committed, focused, it will definitely pay as well using the Celebration to challenge and teach others not to sell their constitutional rights but to remain loyal 💯 at all times.
While still having interview with the newsman, she declares that “we gain more being loyal, patient and hardworking and I just deem it fit to put smile on the faces of those individuals, party faithfuls, leaders, stakeholders as well extends to the larger house in a grand style some weeks to come.”
She equally used the opportunity to charge and challenge young folks to desist from having a mentality of ‘No Money, No Vote’ instead be strong, defending your conscience and making sure their loyalty wasn’t taken away.
Hon. RAD further admonished the entire good people of Oyo state to stay committed, connected, responsible and focused towards ensuring all our Candidates from bottom to top wins at the polls and encouraged them to rally their best hands of support, dedication to the coming back of His Excellency, The Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engr SEYI MAKINDE FNSE, Fogbontolu Oyo, Mayegun of Shasha, JAGUNMOLU of Ibadan Land come 2023 till 2027.
Once again, RAD had made very great impact, as a Warlord, exhibited historical character, brave and with non negotiable, incomparing attitudes for her people.
In conclusion, on behalf of myself, CEO Blue Angels Foundation, family, Team RAD, I sincerely appreciate The Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde for the rare and fair chance given to women to have equal right in displaying their capacity especially myself and other fellow colleagues.
This is just a Clarion call to inspire, awaken the champion inside us that indeed, we can in as much we know. Women in our community who stands out, risked their lives despite the glass ceiling, labelling, Stigma. But we are still standing and paving the way for others mostly the women and youths she said.
It’s now RAD for Seyi Makinde Again agenda and we will make it work, paying the price for it and come to reality. Ise Se Se Bere Ni.
