With only two weeks remaining until the highly anticipated Edo gubernatorial election, Edolites are presented with a critical choice that could reshape the future of their state. Amidst growing concerns about insecurity, deteriorating infrastructure, poor educational standards, and a struggling agricultural sector, the people of Edo State deserve a leader who embodies compassion and dedication. Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata, the Labour Party’s flagbearer, stands out as a beacon of hope, demonstrating a genuine commitment to the well-being of every Edolite.
Akpata’s compassion is evident through his recent actions, most notably his renovation of one of the most dilapidated public schools in central Edo State. This initiative, which should have been undertaken by the state government led by Obaseki, was instead championed by Akpata, who ensured that the school’s pupils could learn in a safe and conducive environment. This act of selfless service underscores Akpata’s dedication to improving the lives of ordinary citizens, a testament to his unwavering commitment to education and community welfare.
Further illustrating his empathetic approach, Akpata has engaged with Edo people both locally and internationally over the past months. His efforts to understand the needs and concerns of his constituents reflect his genuine intent to govern with insight and inclusivity. His vision for a more equitable administration includes plans to support individuals living with disabilities, highlighting his dedication to ensuring that no one is left behind in his quest for a better Edo State.
As the election draws near, Edolites are called upon to consider the values and actions of their candidates. Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata’s compassionate leadership and proactive initiatives make him the leader who is best equipped to address the pressing issues facing Edo State. By choosing Akpata, voters can be assured of a future where their needs are met with empathy, integrity, and genuine commitment to progress.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has challenged Abdul’aziz Yari, the Director-General of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign, to account for how citizens have benefited from the ₦15.8 trillion generated through the removal of fuel subsidy and foreign exchange reforms.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement released by National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi, the party pointed out that between June 2023 and December 2025, these reforms pumped roughly ₦15.8 trillion into the Federation—split into ₦5.4 trillion for the Federal Government, ₦5.4 trillion for state governments, and ₦3.9 trillion for local councils. Despite these monumental figures and FAAC disbursements soaring to a cumulative ₦47.25 trillion across that three-year window, the ADC argued that ordinary citizens are still buckling under crushing living, food, and transport costs.
The opposition party criticized the ruling administration for boasting about multi-trillion-naira windfalls while households struggle to afford daily meals, noting that monthly FAAC allocations have surged past ₦2 trillion from under ₦1 trillion prior to the subsidy removal. Furthermore, the ADC questioned why roughly 20 states still felt the need to pile on ₦458 billion in new loans during 2025 despite the massive cash influx. Concluding its stance, the party demanded that Senator Yari and the APC prove the tangible results of these funds—specifically pointing to physical infrastructure like schools, hospitals, roads, and mass transit—before expecting Nigerians to grant them another four years in power.
Beginning Monday, August 31, 2026, the Ogun State House of Assembly’s Committee on Finance and Appropriation will kick off its second-quarter performance review of state ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) for the 2026 budget.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Based on official details released by the Clerk and Head of Legislative Service, Mr. Sakiru Adebakin, this rigorous review targets the second-quarter performance spanning from January through June. The oversight sessions will take place daily at 10:00 am, running continuously from Monday, August 31, through Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
This oversight initiative forms a core part of the legislature’s constitutional mandate, designed strictly to gauge how effectively government bodies have complied with the State’s 2026 Appropriation Law. By doing so, the assembly aims to guarantee optimal value for public funds across all policy rollouts and infrastructure projects. In preparation for the sessions, all heads of MDAs have been formally instructed to bring the necessary documentation and show up punctually according to their designated schedules.
The African Action Congress (AAC) has pushed back against the decision to merely suspend the prosecution of its 2027 presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, until after the upcoming election, insisting instead that the charges be completely dropped.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement signed by National Publicity Secretary Rex I. Elanu and reported by Naija News, the party criticized the legal validity of leaving a criminal trial hanging indefinitely, pointing out that Nigerian criminal procedure doesn’t allow for cases to simply be put on hold. The AAC called on the Attorney-General of the Federation to officially discontinue the matter so it cannot be weaponized politically later, while also demanding the immediate removal of DSS Director-General Tosin Ajayi over alleged political harassment. Furthermore, the party is seeking a formal apology, financial compensation, and the settlement of all outstanding court costs resulting from what it views as a politically motivated trial.
