One-Party State: PDP Loyalists Won't Allow Opposition Politics Be Extinguished In Nigeria  — Olawepo-Hashim  Former presidential candidate, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has warned that Nigeria’s democracy is under grave threat, alleging a coordinated effort by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to cripple opposition politics and impose a one-party civilian dictatorship. Hashim, in a statement issued from Doha, Qatar, where he is attending the Covenant Altar of Worship Ministry’s First Worship Convention, condemned the Abuja Federal High Court ruling that halted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention earlier scheduled for November 15, 2025, in Ibadan. He described the court’s decision as part of a wider strategy to neutralise the PDP and “weaponise the judiciary against multiparty democracy.” “What happened in court is not an isolated incident. It is a carefully choreographed plot to paralyse the opposition and entrench authoritarian rule,” he said. Hashim als...

Osun PDP To APC: Stop Daydreaming, Get Ready For A Fair Flight In 2026

Osun PDP To APC: Stop Daydreaming, Get Ready For A Fair Flight In 2026 The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State has noted with amusement the latest comic relief issued by the ever-useless All Progressives Congress (APC), which is fast losing both voice and relevance in the political space of our dear state. The statement credited to one idle-fever striken Mogaji Kola Olabisi is nothing but a lazy attempt to distract attention from the internal rot, disunity, and total leadership collapse bedeviling the Osun APC. For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP in Osun State remains united, solid, and focused on delivering the dividends of democracy under the purposeful leadership of Governor Ademola Adeleke. No amount of falsehood or mischievous propaganda from a frustrated opposition can shake that foundation. We understand the dilemma of the APC whose only strategy for 2026 is to pray that Governor Ademola Adeleke is disqualified from contesting. Such barren prayers have long been ...

Osun PDP Denounces Fake Publication On Purported Suspension Of Party Meetings  The attention of the Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to a false and mischievous publication being circulated by elements of the opposition in the state, particularly the All Progressives Congress (APC), claiming that the PDP in Osun has suspended all party meetings due to a purported national crisis. The said statement, deceitfully credited to our State Publicity Secretary, Hon. Jacob Ayodeji Areola, is nothing but a fabrication from the desperate imagination of the jittery and rejected opposition in Osun State. It is a baseless attempt to sow confusion into the minds of resolute people of Osun State. For the avoidance of doubt, the Osun State PDP has not suspended any of its political or organizational activities at any level. Our structures remain intact, vibrant, and fully committed to supporting the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Senator Ademola Jackso...

Wole Oke’s Threats of Military Backing Are Empty: Osun Elections Will Be Decided by Voters, Not Imaginary Soldiers

Wole Oke’s Threats of Military Backing Are Empty: Osun Elections Will Be Decided by Voters, Not Imaginary Soldiers By Pelumi Olajengbesi, Esq. Having gotten used to Wole Oke, each time I read him criticizing Governor Ademola Adeleke, despite the tremendous efforts and energy the Governor is deploying to serve the people of Osun State, I just ignore it as one of those commentaries from a very alcoholic human being. However, I decided to respond here because, in his statement, he claimed he has spoken to the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), and that they have granted his request for military fortifications ahead of the 2026 Osun State election. This is laughable. Wole Oke must have been a very poor student back in school if he actually thinks that the offices of the CDS and COAS are ones a single individual can control or use to score political points. The CDS and COAS are powerful and sacred institutions for the protection of the Nigerian territory, not f...
