Agboola Ajayi, former Deputy Governor of Ondo State and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the last election, has officially rejoined the All Progressives Congress (APC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Ajayi, who served under the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, returned to the ruling party on Tuesday at Apoi Ward 2, Kiribo, in Ese Odo Local Government Area.

Speaking at the event, Ajayi said his decision was motivated by a desire to contribute to the APC and support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027. He also cited the need to advance the EASE Agenda of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“Rejoining the APC reaffirms my full membership and allows me to actively participate in the party’s affairs,” Ajayi said.

He noted that personal disagreements must give way to national interest, drawing on global examples of political reconciliation.

“In politics, there can be disagreements, campaigns, propaganda, and blackmail, but the bigger picture is the Nigeria project. We must come together to add value to the system,” he said.
“We all remember Kenya, where Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta were rivals but later united in the interest of their country. That’s exactly what I’ve done today.”

Ajayi acknowledged that the last election cycle involved political rivalry but emphasized the importance of reconciliation for progress.

“Governor Aiyedatiwa and I have spoken. Campaigns involve propaganda and blackmail, but the bigger picture is far more important. This is about the Nigeria project.”

He also praised President Tinubu’s economic reforms, describing them as a strong foundation for Nigeria’s future.

“No president can undo these policies that provide a formidable economy and vibrant framework for government operations. While no country is free from crime, the difference between now and a few years ago is clear,” he added.

Ajayi urged Ondo residents to support Governor Aiyedatiwa to ensure the delivery of more dividends of democracy.

Governor Aiyedatiwa Welcomes Ajayi’s Return

Represented by his Special Adviser on Legislative and Party Affairs, Babatunde Kolawole, Governor Aiyedatiwa described Ajayi’s return as a major boost for the APC in Ondo State. He noted that Ajayi’s experience, grassroots appeal, and political influence would strengthen the party ahead of future elections.

Ondo APC Chairman, Ade Adetimehin, also lauded Ajayi as a grassroots politician with deep knowledge of the state.

“Agboola Ajayi is a political bulldozer. With his return, our party is stronger, more united, and better positioned to secure victories for President Tinubu and other APC candidates in 2027,” he said.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has stepped up its aerial campaigns targeting terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping across the North-West, reinforced by an expanded air presence in Sokoto State to bolster joint security efforts.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In an official update shared via its verified social media channel, the NAF stated that this strategic deployment is designed to strengthen aerial surveillance, maintain constant pressure on criminal networks, and improve the operational response time of security forces.

Given that criminal elements frequently exploit challenging terrains and mobility to evade ground troops, the deployment of rapid air assets aims to locate, disrupt, and restrict enemy movement. This approach provides ground forces with critical tactical advantages through improved air-ground coordination.

The initiative reflects the vision of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, to maintain a mission-ready and highly professional force working closely with sister services. The NAF reaffirmed its dedication to utilizing air power to protect citizens, dismantle criminal syndicates, and restore lasting stability to the region.
