“Lagos APC Hits Back At ADC: 2027 Won’t Be Won With Empty Rhetoric”
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the African Democratic Congress (ADC)’s proposed “new deal,” describing it as hollow political sloganeering devoid of structure, credibility, or substance.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to Nivo News, APC spokesman Mogaji Seye Oladejo, in a statement issued on Tuesday, said Nigerians would not entrust the country’s future to a party without a track record, clear ideology, or cohesive leadership.
Oladejo’s remarks came in response to comments by former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, who at an ADC political gathering in Kosofe, Lagos, accused the APC and other major political parties of failing Nigerians.
Oladejo criticized Aregbesola’s statements as a disappointing departure from the values he once upheld as a long-time APC member, labeling them “political desperation and opportunism disguised as a ‘new deal.’”
“It is ironic that a man who benefited from the goodwill and platform of the APC for over two decades — from serving as Commissioner in Lagos, to Governor of Osun State, and later a Federal Minister — now denounces the very party that shaped his career,” Oladejo said. “If the APC has failed, Aregbesola must also accept responsibility for his own role in governance instead of rewriting history for cheap political relevance.”
The APC spokesman maintained that Lagos remains a model of progressive governance, citing achievements in infrastructure, healthcare, education, youth empowerment, and technology-driven reforms. He added that no amount of “political grandstanding” could erase these accomplishments.
Oladejo emphasized that while every individual has the right to political ambition, it must be pursued “with integrity and decorum.” He warned that politics devoid of loyalty and gratitude leads to irrelevance, stressing that the Lagos APC remains united, focused, and committed to delivering dividends of democracy.
He further urged Nigerians to be cautious of politicians “who abandon their parties when personal ambitions are no longer served, only to pose as saviors offering solutions to problems they helped create.”

News reports that the comedian disclosed this in a post shared on his Instagram Story.
According to Bovi, anyone seeking a response from him should be ready to pay for the service.
He also warned those who might not receive replies to make the necessary payment if they want his attention.
The comedian wrote, “Now charging money to reply messages. So if you don’t get a reply, pay up!”
In other news, Bovi has opened up about his experience raising his son, revealing that the boy broke three television sets on separate occasions due to his behaviour.
Naija News reports that the comedian had previously stated that he does not believe in beating children as a form of discipline.
He maintained that parents should allow their children to grow and learn while providing proper guidance.
Bovi explained that his son sometimes broke household items when he was angry or simply out of playfulness, including three television sets in their home.
The comedian added that he was able to replace the damaged televisions because he could afford to do so, noting that the situation might have been different if he lacked the financial means.
Nigerian music producer Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has urged Nigerian musicians to set aside their pride and embrace collaborations to encourage the growth of the country’s music industry.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Mavin Records founder expressed concern over what he described as a decline in collaborations among Nigerian artistes, warning that the trend could negatively affect the entertainment industry.
Naija News reports that Don Jazzy made his position known during an appearance on an episode of the On The Grind podcast.
He stressed that no artiste could achieve everything independently, noting that collaborations create opportunities for learning, creativity and professional growth.
The music executive encouraged Nigerian singers to overcome their egos and recognise that their individual talents should not prevent them from working with others.
According to him, even artistes who can write, produce and perform their own songs still need to collaborate with other talents.
He said: “Most of Nigerian artists need to drop their pride, grow up and understand that no man is an island. A tree cannot make a forest.
“If you are so talented and versatile and can write, produce and sing, kudos to you. But still, you need to collaborate. I am a fan of collaboration. I came into this business collaborating with people and I am forever going to keep collaborating. I understand the importance of collaboration.”
Controversial relationship therapist Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has confessed that she never had breast cancer, despite previously claiming to be battling the disease.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
News reports that the social media personality made the revelation during an interview with social media activist VeryDarkMan.
During the interview, Blessing CEO explained that a medical examination had initially detected a lump in her breast. However, subsequent medical findings showed that the lump was not cancerous.
She admitted that she deliberately portrayed the condition as breast cancer to attract financial assistance from members of the public.
Okoro described her actions as an emotional game, acknowledging that she had misled Nigerians about her health condition to receive donations.
She said: “I played an emotional game. I did not have breast cancer. I had a lump in my breast, but it was not cancerous. I deliberately told the public that the lump was cancerous because I wanted financial support.
“I initially created the impression that I was considering selling my personal belongings, including my car and house, but members of the public encouraged me to share my account details so they could support me financially.
“Donations started coming in, with different people sending different amounts of money. VeryDarkMan was calling me out for my fundraising and demanded evidence of my breast cancer diagnosis. The donations stopped shortly after VeryDarkMan released a video questioning my claims.”
