Moyo Ogunlewe to Nigerians: Tinubu Deserves Second Term, His Reforms Are Yielding Results

 

Independence @ 66: City Boy Movement, Lagos Felicitates President Tinubu, Nigerians, Lagosians

The City Boy Movement, Lagos State Chapter, has felicitated with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, all Nigerians and Lagosians on the occasion of Nigeria's 66th Independence Anniversary.

In a goodwill message from its Director, Barr. Moyosore Ogunlewe, the movement said President Tinubu's administration has made unprecedented progress in infrastructure, job creation, economic diversification and governance since assuming office.

Barr. Ogunlewe stated: "Like no one is perfect, President Tinubu is not perfect. Nevertheless, he has remained a kind-hearted leader with an exceptional eye for talents, putting round pegs in round holes. He understands our problems as a nation and has shown the political will to fix them.

"He noted that in the fourth year of the administration, Nigerians have experienced a clear departure from the past, with exemplary leadership, vision and foresight driving the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Highlighting key achievements, the City Boy Movement Director who also serves as Zonal Director, Youth Mobilization, South-West APC Presidential Campaign Council, listed the President's deliberate support for youths through landmark initiatives such as NELFUND, 3MTT, TVET, NiYA, YouthCred, CrediCorp, NYIF, iDICE and SMEDAN.

He also cited the passage of the 2023 Electricity Bill which decentralized the power sector, the Nigeria Data Protection Bill 2023, economic reforms that have attracted foreign investment, curbed inflation and boosted job creation, as well as massive investments in healthcare and education.

On fuel subsidy removal, he described it as a bold step that has blocked corruption and freed resources for development.

According to him, the administration has also strengthened security through enhanced intelligence gathering and inter-agency collaboration, while rolling out social intervention programs to alleviate poverty.

Barr. Ogunlewe stressed that nation-building is a collective responsibility, saying: "I have learned a great deal from our President by bringing governance to our people in Kosofe Local Government - transparency, timely service delivery and cost-effectiveness.

"He concluded that President Tinubu's all most four years in office is a testament to resilience, integrity and dedication, and deserves continuity in 2027.

"President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the best for a united Nigeria at this critical point in our 66-year history. He deserves our full support for a second term to secure a brighter future and the continuity of the Renewed Hope Agenda."

Nino Saga: Can APC Expel a Member Who Had Already Resigned? - Damian Ajayi

 

 

The controversy surrounding the expulsion of Barrister Azeez Oladapo Yusuf, popularly known as Ninolowo, from the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken a fresh turn following comments by Barrister Damian Ajayi, a lawyer and public analyst, during an interview on Arise TV.

Speaking during the television interview, Ajayi offered his perspective on the controversy involving Ninolowo and former Agege Local Government Chairman, Chief Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi, particularly the argument over whether the two politicians were APC candidates or merely aspirants during the party’s nomination process.

Ajayi’s intervention has added another dimension to a dispute that has continued to generate questions within Agege, especially over the sequence of events surrounding the APC primary, the emergence of alternative names on the party’s candidate list and the eventual movement of Ninolowo and Egunjobi to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

Ninolowo participated in the APC nomination process for Agege Constituency II and was reported as having emerged from the primary before the party subsequently presented another name as its candidate. It was at that point, according to the account being advanced by Ninolowo and his supporters, that the party unlawfully and wrongly substituted his name with that of another aspirant, who was subsequently presented as the APC candidate.

That development became the foundation of the political disagreement that eventually saw Ninolowo leave the APC and pursue his political ambition under the APM platform.

The APC has since argued that Ninolowo and Egunjobi were aspirants, not candidates, during its nomination process. But that distinction does not, on its own, answer the larger questions surrounding the disputed nomination, the subsequent change in the candidate list and Ninolowo’s reported resignation from the party.

Perhaps the most significant issue raised by the controversy is one that demands a clear answer from the APC itself:

Did the Lagos State chapter of the APC have the constitutional authority to expel Ninolowo after he had already resigned from the party?

Further, can a State Chairman or State Executive Committee validly expel a person who had already ceased to be a member of the party through resignation?

Ninolowo has maintained that he resigned from the APC in July 2026, weeks before the party announced his expulsion in September.

 That chronology is critical. 

The APC Constitution contains detailed provisions governing discipline, sanctions, expulsion and appeals. It also establishes different levels of disciplinary authority within the party. Article 21 provides for disciplinary procedures subject to the Constitution and the right to fair hearing, while specific provisions address the organs empowered to impose particular sanctions.

The Constitution further provides that where expulsion of an Executive Committee member, political office holder or legislator is proposed, the matter is to be submitted to the National Executive Committee (NEC) under the relevant provision.

That makes the Ninolowo controversy worthy of a closer constitutional examination.

If Ninolowo had already resigned before the September expulsion announcement, what precisely was the legal status of the subsequent expulsion?

That is a question that cannot be answered merely through political statements.

It requires examination of the resignation letter, the date it was received, the response of the party, the date any disciplinary complaint was initiated, the organ that initiated it and the constitutional provision relied upon.

 DID APC EXPEL A FORMER MEMBER? 

This is where the controversy becomes particularly interesting.

The central argument being advanced on Ninolowo’s behalf is that a person who has already ceased to be a member cannot subsequently be expelled as though he remained a member, and that the APC State Executive Committee should not arrogate to itself powers reserved for the appropriate organs of the party.

The APC Constitution recognises resignation as a means by which membership can cease, while its disciplinary provisions establish procedures and different levels of authority for sanctions.

Consequently, the issue is not simply whether the APC has disciplinary powers.

The real question is whether those powers were properly exercisable against Ninolowo at the time the Lagos chapter announced his expulsion, assuming his July resignation is valid and properly documented.

That distinction is crucial.

“STATE APC SHOULD READ ITS CONSTITUTION”

The argument being advanced by critics of the expulsion is that the Lagos State chapter should carefully examine the APC Constitution before taking actions that could expose the party to unnecessary internal disputes or legal challenges.

The criticism is particularly focused on the allegation that the State Executive Committee may have acted beyond its constitutional remit by announcing Ninolowo’s expulsion after his alleged resignation.

In that regard, the appropriate question for the party leadership is not simply, “Why did Ninolowo leave?” It is - “What was his membership status when the expulsion decision was taken, and which organ of the APC Constitution authorised that particular action?”

Those questions are especially relevant because the APC Constitution provides for disciplinary processes, fact-finding and appeals, while also giving the NEC significant authority over final disciplinary matters in specified circumstances.

 NINOLOWO’S CASE GOES BEYOND “ANTI-PARTY” 

The attempt to reduce the controversy to “anti-party activity” may therefore leave out a significant part of the story.

Ninolowo’s case began with a disputed nomination process.

It continued with the emergence of another name as the APC candidate.

It was followed by his reported resignation in July.

He subsequently emerged under the APM platform and only afterwards did the APC announce his expulsion.

That chronology deserves to be examined in its entirety.

If Ninolowo’s resignation is authenticated and the relevant APC records confirm that it preceded the disciplinary action, then the party would have to explain the constitutional basis for subsequently treating him as an existing member subject to expulsion.

That is the legal and political question at the heart of the controversy.

 DAMIAN AJAYI’S ARISE TV INTERVENTION 

Barrister Damian Ajayi’s appearance on Arise TV has therefore opened a fresh conversation around the matter.

Rather than viewing the dispute solely through the lens of party politics, Ajayi’s legal perspective brings attention to the Constitution, the hierarchy of party organs and the importance of determining the precise point at which Ninolowo ceased to be an APC member.

The APC has every right to defend its nomination process and enforce its constitution.

Equally, questions surrounding the exercise of that constitutional authority deserve clear answers.

For a major national political party preparing for another electoral cycle, internal discipline and constitutional compliance are matters that should be handled with precision.

 THE QUESTIONS APC MUST ANSWER 

The controversy now leaves several questions on the table, when exactly did Ninolowo’s resignation take effect?

Did the APC receive and acknowledge his resignation before announcing his expulsion?

When did the disciplinary process against him commence?

Which APC organ initiated the process?

What specific constitutional provision authorised the final expulsion?

Was the matter referred to the appropriate national organ where required by the Constitution?

Why was another aspirant presented as the APC candidate after the disputed Agege Constituency II primary?

Until these questions are answered with documentary evidence, the Ninolowo story cannot fairly be reduced to a simple case of an APC member engaging in anti-party activity.

It is a much wider dispute involving nomination, substitution, resignation, membership status, disciplinary procedure and constitutional authority.

For Ninolowo and his supporters, the position is straightforward: they contend that he left the APC after what they regard as an unresolved and disputed nomination process, and that the subsequent expulsion therefore raises questions about the party’s procedure and authority.

For the APC, the issue remains one of adherence to its rules and the consequences of pursuing another party’s platform.

The facts, however, should be allowed to settle the argument.

The documents should speak. The Constitution should speak. The chronology should speak.

However, until they do, the controversy surrounding Ninolowo’s expulsion remains far from settled.

APC Overconfidence! From Primary Dispute to Expulsion: Why Agege Is Asking APC, “Why Not Reconcile?”

The latest decision by the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to expel former Agege Local Government Chairman, Chief Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi, and Agege Constituency II politician, Barrister Azeez Oladapo Yusuf, popularly known as Ninolowo, has triggered a fresh wave of debate within political circles in Agege, with residents and supporters questioning why the party chose expulsion instead of reconciliation.

The controversy is coming against the backdrop of the bitter dispute that followed the APC House of Assembly primaries in Agege Constituencies I and II, where Egunjobi and Ninolowo were initially reported as winners. Contemporary reports from the May primary put Egunjobi at 12,455 votes and Ninolowo at 8,299 votes, before subsequent changes in the APC candidate list altered the political equation.

    

For many of those sympathetic to the two politicians, the latest expulsion does not resolve the original dispute; rather, they argue that it deepens the question of how the party handled the grievances that emerged after the primaries.

Their argument is straightforward: if two prominent politicians who participated in the party’s internal process subsequently complained about the outcome, why was a reconciliation meeting not convened before the relationship deteriorated to the point of defection and expulsion?

That position is consistent with the account given by Ninolowo and Egunjobi themselves. In their response to reports surrounding their defection, the duo said they had independently decided to leave APC after what they described as “grave injustice” and the failure of party leadership to initiate meaningful reconciliation or provide what they considered a satisfactory resolution to their complaints.

The APC, however, has presented a fundamentally different account. In announcing their expulsion on September 23, State Chairman Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi said the two had violated party rules by seeking tickets on another platform after the APC primaries. The party cited Article 9(5)(II) of its 2022 amended constitution and described their conduct as anti-party activity and disloyalty.

That official explanation has now become another subject of discussion in Agege.

Those questioning the expulsion argue that the sequence of events matters. In their view, the story did not begin with the APM tickets; it began with the unresolved controversy surrounding the APC nomination process. They contend that a political party seeking cohesion ahead of a major election should have exhausted reconciliation and dialogue before resorting to the ultimate disciplinary measure of expulsion.

The dispute is particularly significant because Ninolowo and Egunjobi did not emerge from the APC process as unknown aspirants. Both had contested the party’s Assembly primaries and were subsequently announced as APM candidates for Agege Constituencies II and I respectively. Reports confirm that Ninolowo secured the APM ticket for Constituency II while Egunjobi emerged for Constituency I.

The development has therefore transformed what started as an internal APC nomination controversy into a wider electoral contest in Agege.

For Ninolowo's supporters, the central issue is now bigger than the APC platform. They see the APM candidacy as the continuation of a political journey that began with his attempt to secure the APC ticket and subsequently moved outside the party after the disputed nomination process.

The same narrative has been advanced around Egunjobi, whose political experience as a former chairman of Agege Local Government has given the wider controversy another layer. The two men have also rejected suggestions that their decision to join APM was orchestrated by Lagos Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, insisting that the decision was theirs and followed their experiences within APC.

However, the emerging political conversation in Agege appears to be taking an unusual form: some residents and political actors who remain favourably disposed toward the national and state APC structure say their support for candidates at other levels should not necessarily determine their choice in the House of Assembly race.

In the account presented by supporters of the Ninolowo movement, the emerging sentiment is that voters can distinguish between different electoral contests supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the presidential level, Governor-designate candidate Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat at the Lagos governorship level, Senator Idiat Adebule for the Senate and Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa for the House of Representatives, while supporting Ninolowo under the APM banner for the State Assembly.

That position should, however, be understood as a political claim by Ninolowo's supporters rather than an independently established voting pattern across Agege. Indeed, APC stakeholders in the constituency have publicly expressed the opposite view, saying the defections of Ninolowo and Egunjobi would not weaken the party's structure and pledging to mobilise votes for APC candidates across the ballot.

The contrast illustrates the unusual nature of the Agege contest. Rather than presenting itself simply as a contest between two parties, the Assembly race is increasingly being discussed in terms of individual candidates, their political histories, grassroots relationships and the unresolved memories of the APC primary controversy.

For the APC, the challenge is to defend its decision as an issue of party discipline. For Ninolowo and his supporters, the argument is that the controversy should be viewed through the lens of the mandate they say was obtained during the original primary and the subsequent failure of reconciliation.

That is where the politics of Agege becomes particularly interesting.

The APC has insisted that party members who lose nomination contests must accept the outcome or pursue available internal and legal avenues rather than contest against the party on another platform. Ninolowo and Egunjobi, on the other hand, maintain that they explored avenues for redress and were dissatisfied with the response they received.

The disagreement has now moved beyond the walls of the APC secretariat and into the electorate.

As 2027 approaches, Agege Constituency II voters will be confronted with a contest involving Ninolowo on the APM platform and Enimakure Akindele Sakiru on the APC platform. The political question will be whether the unresolved APC primary controversy remains influential among voters or whether the party can successfully move beyond it through its existing campaign structure.

What is already clear is that the expulsion has not ended the Agege controversy. Instead, it has added another chapter to it.

The question being raised by those sympathetic to Ninolowo is no longer simply why he left APC. It is why a dispute that began inside the party could not be resolved through dialogue before it culminated in expulsion.

With both sides now preparing for the electorate, the answer may ultimately be sought not in party statements, but in the political choices made by the people of Agege Constituency II at the ballot box in 2027.

Ogun 2027: Perjury Scandal Rocks Yayi's Ambition as Hunye's Legal Aide Issues Fresh Warning to APC

 

The legal battle surrounding the 2027 Ogun State governorship contest has taken a fresh turn, with the legal adviser to All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, Hon. Abayomi Semako Hunye, accusing the party’s candidate, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, of allegedly making contradictory declarations in sworn electoral documents.

The lawyer, Mr Victor Olamide, said the issue before the court was not simply a dispute over Adeola’s ancestry or state of origin, but whether the senator had made materially inconsistent declarations in official documents submitted under oath at different stages of his political career.

His comments came amid Adeola’s threat of legal action against Hunye and former Nigerian Ambassador Folake Marcus-Bello over claims concerning his alleged Ekiti ancestry. Adeola had challenged his accusers to produce evidence or face lawsuits.

Olamide, however, maintained that the appropriate place to resolve the controversy was the courtroom, where sworn documents and other evidence could be examined.

“We are not challenging the indigenship of Senator Solomon Adeola; we are saying he has committed perjury,” the lawyer alleged.

According to him, the Hunye legal team was interested in examining declarations allegedly made by Adeola during his earlier political career, particularly documents connected with his elective positions in Lagos State before his subsequent political activities in Ogun.

The lawyer questioned whether Adeola had consistently supplied the same information concerning his state of origin and other personal particulars in his various electoral declarations.

“On your INEC form, you must swear an oath that everything provided is true. If you held elective office in Lagos State since 2003 and filled out sworn declarations, which state did you claim in those previous forms? Was it Ekiti, Lagos or Ogun State?” Olamide asked.

He argued that if the relevant documents eventually showed materially contradictory declarations, the issue would become a matter for judicial determination.

“If he claimed another state in those sworn declarations and is now claiming Ogun State, that constitutes perjury under our laws,” he alleged.

The lawyer challenged Adeola to abandon what he described as media exchanges and take the matter before the court.

“Rather than issuing 24-hour ultimatums and grandstanding on national television, Senator Adeola should prepare to defend his sworn declarations and submit his credentials for full judicial scrutiny in open court,” he said.

Adeola had, through his media adviser, Chief Kayode Odunaro, given Hunye and Marcus-Bello 24 hours to produce evidence backing claims about his alleged Ekiti origin or face legal action. Adeola described the allegations as false and defamatory.

Hunye subsequently welcomed the threatened lawsuit, insisting that he was prepared to defend his position in court and that documentary evidence would be presented if the matter came before the judiciary.

In another contentious claim, Olamide warned that Adeola could become a “political flight risk” to the APC if the party proceeds with his candidacy without adequately addressing the various legal controversies surrounding him.

The lawyer alleged that the senator was carrying “a lot of baggage” in the form of legal disputes and controversies which, he claimed, could be exploited by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2027 campaign.

“We are saying that if the APC allows Senator Adeola to proceed into the 2027 governorship election without resolving these issues, he may become a political flight risk to the party,” Olamide said.

He alleged that the opposition could make the pending legal controversies a major campaign issue, particularly if questions surrounding Adeola’s eligibility, origin and previous declarations remain unresolved.

The controversy over Adeola’s eligibility has already generated litigation and competing claims from political actors. In September, the Ogun chapters of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) and BOOT Party also denied claims that they had withdrawn legal challenges concerning Adeola’s candidacy and state-of-origin questions.

Meanwhile, the PDP’s 2027 governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, and Marcus-Bello have publicly challenged Adeola to pursue his threatened legal action over the disputed origin claims.

Olamide said the Hunye camp was prepared to allow the courts to determine the authenticity, meaning and legal consequences of any conflicting documents that may be presented.

He stressed that the legal process should take precedence over political statements, adding that any allegation of perjury must ultimately be established through the appropriate judicial process.

The latest development adds another layer to the growing political and legal contest within Ogun APC ahead of the 2027 governorship election, with the competing camps now preparing to test their claims through litigation and documentary evidence.

Ninolowo’s New Political Chapter: APM Ticket Puts Agege Constituency II in the Spotlight - By Ayo Mojoyin

The political landscape of Agege Constituency II has taken a dramatic turn ahead of the 2027 Lagos State House of Assembly election, following the emergence of Barrister Azeez Oladapo Yusuf, popularly known as Ninolowo or Nino Agege, as the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) candidate for the constituency.

Behind Ninolowo’s emergence under a new political platform lies a story that has generated intense conversation across Agege  the story of what his supporters describe as a “stolen mandate,” a mandate they insist was freely secured by Ninolowo at the May 2026 All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Assembly primary before his name was subsequently removed from the party’s final candidate list.

The circumstances surrounding the primary have continued to fuel the controversy. On May 20, 2026, reports announced Azeez Ninolowo as the winner of the APC primary for Agege Constituency II, with 12,455 votes, while Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi was reported to have won Agege Constituency I with 10,126 votes.

The declaration appeared to settle the contest. Ninolowo had won the primary, his supporters celebrated, and the expectation was that he would proceed as the APC candidate for Agege Constituency II in the 2027 election.

However, what followed changed the entire political narrative. Reports from June indicated that supporters protested at the Lagos APC secretariat, demanding that the votes they believed were cast for Ninolowo and Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi be respected.

The controversy eventually culminated in Ninolowo’s departure from the APC. Multiple reports published in September 2026 confirmed that Ninolowo and Egunjobi subsequently secured APM tickets for Agege Constituencies II and I respectively. APM’s substitution primary for Constituency II reportedly produced Yusuf as its candidate.

Ninolowo and Egunjobi have publicly rejected suggestions that their movement to APM was orchestrated by Lagos Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa. In a statement reported by PUNCH, the duo said the decision was independently taken after what they described as their experience during the APC candidate-selection process and unsuccessful efforts to resolve their grievances within the party.

For Ninolowo, therefore, the 2027 contest is no longer simply about changing political platforms. It represents a new chapter in an already established relationship with the Agege community, where he has built visibility through philanthropy, community interventions and grassroots engagement.

Earlier in 2026, when he declared his intention to contest for Agege Constituency II, Ninolowo described his ambition as a call to public service rather than a pursuit of personal gain. He pledged to use legislative representation to champion community development while continuing his charitable activities.

His philanthropic profile has been one of the most frequently highlighted aspects of his public activities. Reports have associated him with scholarships, support for indigent residents, medical outreach and assistance to people at the grassroots. His April 2026 declaration followed a medical outreach at Orile-Agege, underscoring the community-service narrative around his political ambition.
 

The legal practitioner and businessman has consequently attempted to present himself as a candidate whose relationship with Agege predates electoral calculations. The central question for Constituency II residents in 2027 will be whether that history of community engagement translates into the kind of legislative representation they expect from their elected representative.

That question becomes particularly important because the Lagos State House of Assembly is not merely a platform for political visibility. Constituency representatives participate in legislation, oversight of the executive, representation of constituents and advocacy for projects and policies affecting their communities.

Ninolowo’s supporters can therefore point to his background outside formal politics as part of the argument for his candidacy. His legal training, business experience and years of community involvement provide elements of a profile that he can bring into the legislative contest. Reports have previously described him as a lawyer, entrepreneur and philanthropist with business interests spanning different sectors.

The 2027 contest will also require more than personality or philanthropy. Agege Constituency II voters will ultimately have to examine the candidates’ positions on issues such as infrastructure, education, youth employment, skills development, healthcare, environmental sanitation, security, transportation and effective constituency representation.

The political significance of Ninolowo’s APM candidacy is therefore difficult to separate from the circumstances surrounding his departure from APC. His supporters regard the move as a continuation of their preferred candidate’s political journey, while the APC retains its own candidate for the constituency. Reports identify Enimakure Akindele Sakiru as the APC candidate for Agege II.

The development has consequently transformed Agege Constituency II into one of the constituencies attracting attention ahead of the 2027 Lagos Assembly election. Ninolowo’s switch has introduced a new political platform, a new campaign narrative and a direct contest between a politician who previously sought the ruling party’s ticket and the candidate now carrying that party’s flag.

For Ninolowo, the challenge is now clear: to convince constituents that the APM platform can provide an effective vehicle for his legislative ambition and that his record of community engagement can translate into measurable representation.

For the voters, the issue is equally clear the 2027 contest provides an opportunity to scrutinise the competing candidates, their records, programmes and capacity for constituency service.

What makes Ninolowo’s story particularly compelling is that his political journey has moved from an internal party contest to a wider electoral battle before the people of Agege Constituency II. His APM candidacy has given the contest another dimension and placed his personal political brand directly before the electorate.

As 2027 approaches, the spotlight will increasingly fall on Agege Constituency II. Beyond party colours and political alliances, the decisive conversation will ultimately be about representation, accountability, development and the expectations of the people.

Ninolowo has positioned himself for that conversation under the APM banner; the next chapter will be written by the voters of Agege Constituency II.
