Akin Osuntokun: It’s time to move away from the Awo-Akintola political hangover

by Akin Osuntokun Equating Yoruba interest with membership of APC is self-serving and abusive. As far as Yoruba identity politics goes, there should be absolutely nothing that qualifies Tinubu as championing Yoruba cause and does not apply equally to Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State. My uncle, Akinjide Osuntokun, Emeritus Professor of History, has the... Read More

Olusegun Adeniyi: How competent is Jega’s INEC?

by Olusegun Adeniyi However, the Anambra State election fiasco has exposed INEC simply because they could not “wobble and fumble” to produce a result as they always managed to do, leaving the courts and tribunals to sort out the rest. If the morning shows the day, as they say, then the Independent National Electoral Commission... Read More

Opinion: Agagu – Death of a dead man

by Dapo Thomas Of all the countries of the world, Nigeria appears to be the one with the highest number of churches, pastors and prophets who are very very close to government and political leaders.

Opinion: The South-West does not necessarily need Tinubu-style political integration

by Oluwatosin Fatoyinbo The party flag bearer is decided in Lagos at the home of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This had been done for all the ACN controlled states and Ondo was no exception.

Hauwa Gambo: Bola Ahmed Tinubu, you have a message (YNaija FrontPage)

In the South-West which it dominates, the ACN has ambled along with juvenile irredentism (Rauf Aregbesola, Osun) arrogant elitism (Babatunde Fashola, Lagos), oblivious inaction (Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun), wanton profligacy (Abiola Ajimobi, Oyo); redeemed only by flashes of brilliance (Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti). One of the distinct tragedies of our politics is that a succession of leaders... Read More

Opinion: Jagaban returns to Lagos empty-handed

by Niyi Akinnaso Several mediators appealed to him to leave Governor Olusegun Mimiko alone, that he was too popular in Ondo State to be dislodged, that Ondo politics was kind of unique, and that a Mimiko victory might dent his political stature and expose his vulnerabilities.
