Addressing the Red-Herring of Omipidan, An Aide to A Non Performing Minister By Oluniyi Isamotu_  It's always unfortunate and disappointing to be treated to ridiculous and stinking stupidity where you best expect wisdom After throwing all sorts of mudslinging to the performing Governor of Osun State to no effect, the next attempt by the traducers is to drag the most refined and philanthropic elder brother of the Governor to unwarranted political roforofo. Addressing the intangible take of Mr Omipidan, let me ask him, if there's no removal of fuel subsidy by the Tinubu led federal government, will there have been any need for a palliative measure by the federal government or sub-national government of the country? If the economy of the country is not at a 'balabulu mode' where both the rich and poor are grappling with the survival of the fittest contest, will there be any need for a Governor to create a sort of wage award for his worker's or pensioners at the moment

OPINION: Osun and Ismail Omipidan By James Bamgbose In "The Diane Kalen-Sakra, Save Your City: How Toxic Culture Kills Community & What to Do About It," good governance is depicted as the art of putting wise thought into prudent action, advancing the well-being of those governed. This reflection mirrors the current situation in Osun State since Governor Ademola Adeleke took office last year. Where I'm going is not far, but where I will branch is much. "When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, 'There is lifting up,' and he shall save the humble person." This excerpt is from the Book of Job in the Bible, illustrating differing experiences despite a shared state or circumstance. One sees "casting down" while the other sees "lifting up." This statement mirrors Osun State's situation. Osun people now enjoy the democracy dividends they were denied for about 12 years, yet some pessimists, in the name of politics, suggest otherwis

Osun APC and Sooko's continuous Outbursts, A public nuisance displays of shenanigans By Azeez Mao Olakunle Dinho  It is paramount that one should not always expect that the measure of what you lack or have is accurately replicated in others. If you feel that everybody should think or work in your myopic way, insanity is inevitable. That's the case of Osun APC and Mr. Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, the factional chairman of the All Progressive Congress in Osun State.  I was on social media yesterday reading different write ups from the people of Osun State, celebrating the evidence of good governance of Senator Ademola Adeleke in his one year in office. Incidentally, I came across the poorly written scorecard of Osun factional APC led by one Mr. Sooko and signed by Mr. Kola Olabisi describing the administration of His Excellency as the worst ever in the history of Osun State.  This erroneous position reminded me of my undergraduate days when we were taught about love and hate in psycholo

Adeleke has Vindicated those who Booted Oyetola out of Office, Olawale Rasheed Replies Omipidan OSOGBO - 28/112023 - Osunstate.gov.ng The one year record of Governor Ademola Adeleke far outshined and outpaced the lackluster performance of former Governor Gboyega Oyetola in four years, Spokesperson to Governor Adeleke, Mallam Olawale Rasheed has declared. He affirmed that Governor Adeleke by any impartial assessment, has justified the confidence reposed in him by the Osun electorate who massively booted Mr Oyetola out of office using their ballot papers on July 16, 2022. As Osun people in a democratic process voted Governor Adeleke into office, it is a misnomer and a busybody venture to accuse an eminent Osun citizen and a global business icon , Dr Deji Adeleke of imposing his brother in an election that stands out as a model in Nigeria's electoral victory. Is it a crime for Dr Deji Adeleke to support his brother's political ambition in line with the constitutional right to vote

ADELEKE: A YEAR OF POSITIVE TURNAROUND AND MANY IMPACTS By Sarafa Ibrahim On Monday, Governor Ademola Adeleke would mark a year that he took the oath of office. And like every administration, there will certainly be an opportunity to look back and compare what things were like when he assumed office to be able to measure the scorecard of Governor Adeleke in 365 days In one year, Governor Adeleke has demonstrated a true sense of service in many aspects of governance, despite the difficult situation he inherited. When Adeleke took office a year ago, there were a lot of things considered impossible, but are now possible, largely due to the firm commitment to good governance. One year ago, heavy debt burden, reckless looting of public assets, and distressed public infrastructure had drained hopes of meaningful governance. A Canadian-born American economist and public servant, John Kenneth Galbraith provided some clarity to the question of the essence of leadership when he opined that "
