…vows to mobilise highest votes for Tinubu’s re-election

An Ogun State-based political group, Yayi Progressives Movement (YPM), has announced a N1billion donation and unveiled 27 branded buses to support the 2027 governorship ambition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus governorship candidate, Senator Solomon Adeola, in the state.

The twin donations were made at the unveiling and official inauguration of the group at Ake Palace Pavilion, Abeokuta, where its Convener, Armstrong Akintunde, said the funds and vehicles would be deployed for campaign logistics and grassroots mobilisation ahead of the polls.

Akintunde, who equally inaugurated the State Executive Members of YPM led by a House of Assembly member, Hon. Olusegun Kaka, expressed the readiness of the state to deliver the highest number of votes in the South West region for the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

According to him, the group is committed to ensuring the emergence of Senator Adeola as the next governor of Ogun State.

“This is not about an individual. It is about securing the future of Ogun State. Senator Solomon Adeola Yayi represents competence, continuity, and a proven track record. We are making these donations because we believe in the vision of the APC candidate,” he remarked.

The convener maintained that the moves being made by opposition coalition cannot stop Tinubu’s re-election as well as the victory of the ruling party’s gubernatorial candidate in the state.

“Our leader has given us a marching order. We want to assure you that come 2027 election, Ogun State will deliver the highest number of votes in the entire western Nigeria. This assignment has been made very easy for us with the collaboration and efforts of our party leaders,” he stated.

Akintunde commended the incumbent governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, for his leadership and steadfastness in driving infrastructural development and promoting peace in the state.

“We are grateful for what the current administration has done. Our support for Senator Solomon Adeola Yayi is to ensure those gains are consolidated,” he added.

Akintunde further said, “Today represents another significant milestone in the evolving history of political movements in Ogun State. The Yayi Progressives Movement has come a long way; emerging from DACA, through Omoluabi, and now standing strong in its current form.

“This journey is a testament to our unity and determination to mobilise the people of Ogun State toward the realization of our party’s goals, particularly in securing decisive electoral victories for all our candidates across the state.”

Earlier in his speech, Kaka stated that the inauguration marked the collective commitment of YPM members to progress, unity and vision.

The Coordinator urged members to “remain focused on our goals, strengthen our bonds, and continue to work tirelessly for the growth and development of our people and our dear state.”

Eminent personalities that attended the event included former Deputy Governor, Senator Adegbenga Kaka, Senator Gbenga Obadara, Senator Iyabo Anisulowo, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, Engr. Ade Akinsanya, Chief Waliu Taiwo, Hon. Kehinde Odeneye, and businessman, Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende.

Ikangba Community Urges Ogun Governor to Intervene in Land Crisis, Cites Threat to Lives The people of Ikangba Community in Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State have appealed to the state Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, to urgently intervene in an escalating land dispute which they alleged had resulted in harassment, sporadic shootings and threats to the lives of residents. The community made the appeal at a press conference, where its representatives expressed concern that continued activities by individuals they described as alleged land grabbers could further threaten the peace and security of the area. According to the Oluweri Osundekun, secretary of the Yeye-imule Family Descendants Of Ijebu-ode who addressed the press said that the crisis had also involved the alleged deployment of security personnel in attempts to take possession of its ancestral land, prompting the intervention of security agencies, including the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force. The community alleged that two of its indigenes were previously arrested and detained at the DSS office in Abeokuta in connection with the dispute, but were later released after documentary evidence supporting the community’s position was presented and reviewed. It further claimed that the DSS Director, after hearing from the parties and examining the circumstances surrounding the dispute, warned those involved against actions capable of disrupting peace in Ikangba. The community said a similar intervention was made by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, who reportedly invited the parties, listened to their positions and warned the alleged land grabbers to stay away from the disputed property. Despite these interventions, the community alleged that harassment had continued, with reports of maiming and sporadic shooting on the disputed land. The people of Ikangba also alleged that the alleged land grabbers enjoyed the backing of the Idowa traditional institution, particularly the Dagburewe of Idowa, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adefuwape, whom they accused of contributing to the persistence of the crisis. However, the community stressed that it was not seeking to prejudge the matter or usurp the powers of the courts and security agencies, but wanted the dispute resolved through lawful and due process. It said it had already approached the Ogun State Anti-Land Grabbing Task Force and other relevant security agencies, while also appealing to the state government for intervention. The community therefore urged Governor Abiodun to direct a thorough and impartial investigation into the dispute, protect all parties involved and ensure that ownership of the land was determined through due process. It also called for an immediate halt to the alleged use of security personnel or private agents to intimidate residents, stressing that no individual should be allowed to use influence or connections to dispossess citizens of their ancestral property. The community appealed to the leadership of the DSS and the Nigeria Police Force to ensure that their personnel were not used, directly or indirectly, to enforce private claims in land disputes. While calling on all parties to sheathe their swords and embrace peaceful resolution, the people of Ikangba warned that nobody should be allowed to enter the disputed land with firearms, threaten residents, maim anyone or engage in sporadic shooting while the matter is being resolved. The community urged the Governor, Commissioner of Police, DSS leadership, Anti-Land Grabbing Task Force and other relevant authorities to act swiftly to prevent further escalation. It said its primary demands were justice, peace and protection, stressing that it did not want violence or confrontation with security agencies or traditional institutions. The community appealed to the media to amplify its concerns, saying urgent intervention was necessary to prevent the crisis from claiming an innocent life. The people of Ikangba maintained that they remained committed to peaceful resolution of the dispute and expressed confidence that the state government would ensure that the rule of law prevailed.
