    Koro Ibo, Oladejo and Lagos APC search for ransom (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last Thursday, I found myself in a “political” space with the Director General of the Bola Tinubu/Kadri Obafemi Hamzat Campaign Council of the Lagos chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Musiliu Obanikoro. Penultimate Friday, I had seen him on the big screen at the inauguration of the campaign council and dismissed the slim-fit image of his appearance as just some smooth digital enhancement, known among tech guys as filter, especially when what looked like a bulge on his

    South-West and the weight of “Alajobi” votes in 2027 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    IN 2023, of the 8,794,726 votes that sent Mr. Bola Tinubu to Aso Rock presidential villa, only 2,279,407 of them, representing just a little above 25% of the total, came from his South West stock. So last week, I had lengthy conversations with two Yoruba political lieutenants of Mr. President. One has always had reservations about his politics but still supported him firmly to win in 2023. The other, until the shocking discovery during the discussion, was smitten by the City Boy political charm.

    The man who will be president (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Asiwaju Bola Tinubu should not have been president in 2023. He really was almost not. A witness told me the story of the moment a faction of the ruling APC National Working Committee, led by a former Nasarawa governor, Adamu Abdullahi, in cahoots with the presidency of now-late General Muhammadu Buhari, announced then Senate President Ahmad Lawan as the “consensus” candidate as requested by the then president. Today’s president, then a leading aspirant, reportedly “slumped” on the laps of a form

    Robbing collective Peter to pay selected Paul? (opens the original)

    Another anarchist was on the prowl last week. He threatened to deny peaceful Nigerians their fundamental and constitutional right to live in Kuje council area if they don’t vote for his preferred candidate in next year’s general election. His name is Samuel Shekwolo. He’s supposed to be the number one citizen of the council area, responsible to the residents and for their collective wellbeing, particularly security and safety. Hear him: “I have said in my area council, it’s either you are doing

    The gospel according to PBAT (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    THE headline of this column isn’t original to me. I had titled the piece “Osun and what belongs to Caesar” before a beloved uncle currently holidaying in Atlanta captioned the now-viral video of the Thursday encounter between President Bola Tinubu and re-elected Osun governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, with the phrase and I couldn’t resist borrowing his thought. When I forwarded the video to him Friday morning while penning this, it didn’t quickly dawn on me it would still be pre-dawn over there.
