WHAT SUDDENLY SILENCED THE VOICES OF PATRIOTIC IFE SONS IN APC?

  WHAT SUDDENLY SILENCED THE VOICES OF PATRIOTIC IFE SONS IN APC? By Arewa Oluwaseun There was a time, not too long ago when the voices of Ife sons within the APC were loud, fearless and unapologetic. They spoke with conviction, defended party positions with passion and stood visibly at the forefront of Osun politics. Today, those voices have gone eerily quiet. The question begging for an honest answer is simple but disturbing, what suddenly silenced the voices of patriotic Ife sons in APC? Was it fear or fatigue? Was it political blackmail or calculated compromise? Or did silence suddenly become the new currency for survival within Osun APC? When a people move from agitation to muteness, it is rarely accidental. Silence, in politics, is often negotiated bought with promises, sustained by fear or enforced by exclusion. And in Osun APC, the pattern is becoming too clear to ignore. These are not ordinary men whose voices have gone missing. They are politicians who once mobilized stru...

RE-EXAMINING APC’S OSUN POLITICS: WHY IFE’S QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED

Image
 RE-EXAMINING APC’S OSUN POLITICS: WHY IFE’S QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED By Oluwaseun Arewa Agbogunleri Seun Michael’s rejoinder, despite its polished grammar and borrowed vocabulary of institutional discipline and strategic calculation, carefully avoids the real issue confronting APC in Ile-Ife and Osun State at large. It is long on theory, heavy on condescension, and painfully short on answers. Worse still, it reads like an overzealous defence brief written more to impress party gatekeepers than to engage the legitimate grievances of a politically conscious people. More troubling is the unnecessary belligerence. Why must APC sympathizers pick fights with every citizen and why must they be combative with every Dick, Tom and Harry who raises questions? The original intervention was not addressed to foot soldiers or self-appointed defenders like Agbogunleri Seun Michael; it was directed at APC leadership in Ile-Ife and Osun State. So, instead of answering, you chose to intellectuali...

WHAT IS THE OFFENCE OF IFE IN APC?

  WHAT IS THE OFFENCE OF IFE IN APC? THE IFE QUESTION ALL APC LEADERS MUST ANSWER By Arewa Oluwaseun For too long, the sons and daughters of Ile-Ife have watched in silence as loyalty to All Progressive Congress (APC) party has been repaid with exclusion, humiliation and calculated political erasure. Silence, however, has reached its limit. The time has come to ask every Ife leaders in that party publicly and unequivocally that what exactly is the offence of Ife within the APC? What truly is the offence of Ife in the hands of the APC in Osun state? This is no longer a whisper in private gatherings or a complaint muttered in political corridors; it is now a loud moral and political question demanding a public answer. For how long will Ife people be consistently present yet deliberately excluded? How long will loyalty be repaid with humiliation? Three illustrious sons of Ife seasoned politicians with enviable records of consistency, loyalty and service stepped forward under the APC p...

Wike’s Political Intrigues and the PDP Crisis: Why Osun Must Defend Adeleke’s Mandate

Image
  Wike’s Political Intrigues and the PDP Crisis: Why Osun Must Defend Adeleke’s Mandate By Dr. Akinlooye Sarafadeen Olatunde, PhD The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State is currently navigating one of its toughest internal battles ahead of the 2026 governorship election . Although Governor Ademola Adeleke has met every requirement for nomination, the deep crisis rocking the national leadership of the party has thrown the entire process into uncertainty. After purchasing and submitting his nomination forms and undergoing successful screening, Osun PDP expected a smooth path to the primaries. Instead, the party was plunged into chaos following the suspension and counter-suspension of key national officers—an internal conflict widely linked to the political maneuvers of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory , Nyesom Wike . Despite serving under an APC-led government , Wike continues to assert himself as a major PDP stakeholder while allegedly working against the pa...

APC DREAM OF TAKING OVER OSUN GOVERNANCE COME 2026: IT’S A MIRAGE MISSION AND A PIPE DREAM

Image
  APC DREAM OF TAKING OVER OSUN GOVERNANCE COME 2026 : IT’S A MIRAGE MISSION AND A PIPE DREAM By Arewa Oluwaseun The recent press statement issued by the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) only exposes the party’s desperation, disarray and diminishing political relevance ahead of the 2026 gubernatorial election . It is a confession of frustration, a broadcast of political fatigue and a desperate attempt to resuscitate a party long declared brain-dead by the people of Osun. Their so-called warning to Governor Ademola Adeleke to prepare his handover note is not only technically shallow and delusion but politically laughable, socially disconnected, morally hypocritical and logically defective. The APC’s dream of returning to power in Osun is nothing but a mirage mission and a pipe dream conceived in the womb of self-deceit. It is a grand total illusion rooted in wishful thinking rather than political reality. From a governance and administrative standpoint, ...
