The four-day military contest, which wrapped up on Thursday, June 19, 2025, took place at Owena Cantonment in Akure. It featured intense exercises and drills designed to assess the combat readiness, resilience, and tactical expertise of units within the 2 Division’s operational jurisdiction.

Rounding out the rankings were 12 Brigade Lokoja (fourth), 4 Brigade Benin (fifth), and 22 Brigade Ilorin, which took the sixth position.
At the closing ceremony, the Special Guest of Honour and General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division, Major General Obinna Onubogu, commended all participants for their professionalism and dedication. Represented by Brigadier General Adeboye Obasanjo, Commander of the Engineer Construction Command, Ede, the GOC underscored the importance of continuous training amid Nigeria’s evolving security threats.
“We must constantly sharpen our skills to counter asymmetric threats facing our nation,” he said, reinforcing the Nigerian Army’s commitment to the vision of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede.
Maj. Gen. Onubogu hailed the 32 Brigade’s victory as a testament to its unwavering commitment to excellence and operational effectiveness. He also thanked Ondo State Governor, Dr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the people of the state for their unwavering support of the brigade’s constitutional duties.
The competition featured a range of challenging activities such as Arms Drill, Map Reading, Combat Swimming, Weapon Handling, and Obstacle Crossing—all crafted to test the physical fitness, mental sharpness, and teamwork of the soldiers.
Prominent guests at the event included Ondo State Commissioner of Police, CP Wilfred Olutokunbo Afolabi; State Director of DSS, Mr. Sagiru Samaila; and other heads of security agencies.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
