POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE: Arabambi Drops Massive Ultimatum, Ordering Adebutu To Step Aside And Back Sowunmi!.
The Labour Party South-West Zonal Vice Chairman, Abayomi Arabambi, has urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Ladi Adebutu, to shelve his ambition and support Segun Sowunmi ahead of the 2027 election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Arabambi made the call in Abeokuta while speaking on the 2027 governorship race, the Egba Agenda, the administration of President Bola Tinubu and political developments in Ogun State.
He said Adebutu should consider backing Sowunmi if the Egba Agenda failed to produce the governorship candidate, arguing that such a move would help protect the political interests of the Egba people.
According to him, “If the Egba Agenda is not realisable, we are of the opinion that the Egba Agenda must support the Yewa Agenda with a caveat that Egba must produce the Secretary to the State Government (SSG).”nEWWS
reports that Arabambi said the political calculations ahead of the election should reflect the interests of the different senatorial districts, stressing that no zone should expect to permanently control the governorship seat.
He described the Egba people as a major voting bloc in the state and said they must remain part of the power structure regardless of who emerges as governor in 2027.
“If Adebutu refuses to relax for Segun Sowunmi, it is going to be a win for Yayi; Egba cannot be outside of the power circle,” he said.
The LP chieftain also urged Adebutu to reconsider his claim to an exclusive political lineage in Odeda, saying his family’s political history did not confer an automatic monopoly on the area.
He said political accommodation and strategic alliances would be crucial to the success of any candidate in the 2027 election.
Speaking on the emerging political alignment in Ogun, Arabambi said the Egba bloc had aligned with the ambition of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola following what he described as an agreement around the Egba Agenda.
He, however, said the Remo people would also have their opportunity in the political arrangement, maintaining that no group could permanently monopolise the governorship.
Arabambi attributed part of the current political alignment to Governor Dapo Abiodun’s ability to work with different interests in the state.
Describing Abiodun as a “good person,” he said the governor had demonstrated humility and an accommodating disposition in dealing with political disagreements.
The LP leader recalled that he opposed Abiodun during his first term as governor but said the governor’s approach to political disputes eventually changed his perception.
Arabambi disclosed that although he had taken Abiodun and the Commissioner for Housing to court, the governor did not intimidate him or deploy political thugs against him.
He said the governor’s conduct following the legal dispute made him reconsider his position and eventually develop a friendship with Abiodun.
Following a recent televised town hall debate ahead of the upcoming election, Temitope Ajayi, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, has publicly endorsed Bola Oyebamiji, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for governor of Osun State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

He emphasized that the role requires executive management skills rather than mere campaigning abilities, praising Oyebamiji’s background in banking and public finance administration for demonstrating superior policy articulation and fiscal realism.
Ajayi further encouraged voters to thoroughly review candidates’ professional backgrounds, financial strategies, and track records when making their decisions at the polls.

THE ANATOMY OF A PLOT: How Investigators Cracked Wide Open the Alleged 2025 Coup Against Tinubu!.
Fresh investigative findings have shed light on an alleged 2025 conspiracy to overthrow the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Drawing from extensive records—including suspect testimonies, financial documents, and digital communications—investigators have mapped out the key players, motivations, financial networks, and operational plans behind the foiled plot.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
The Mastermind: Investigators identified Nigerian Army Colonel Mohammed Ma’aji as the principal coordinator of the conspiracy. His alleged motives stemmed from career frustration—having twice been passed over for promotion to brigadier general—alongside broader grievances regarding national insecurity, corruption, and military welfare.
-
Operational Tactics: The plotters utilized coded language, secure messaging apps like WhatsApp and Zangi, and discussed mobilizing troops and veterans from the North-East. While various dates were floated, no final execution date was agreed upon before authorities intercepted the plan. Conspirators reportedly sought a bloodless takeover, planning to secure state institutions, detain officials, and leverage public relations and Nollywood figures (such as actor Stanley Amandi) to sway public perception.
-
Financing and High-Profile Mentions:
-
Investigators examined financial transactions exceeding ₦5 billion, with roughly ₦785 million earmarked for the operation.
-
Colonel Ma’aji named former Bayelsa State Governor Timipre Sylva as a principal financier, though this remains an allegation pending judicial determination.
-
The name of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike surfaced in discussions after a retired naval captain was asked to seek funds, though the records confirm Wike had no involvement or knowledge of the plot.
-
Funds were also allegedly funneled through corporate and Bureau de Change channels, with portions allocated for spiritual backing, including payments to an Islamic cleric.
-
-
Post-Coup Blueprint: Seized handwritten notes outlined plans for a post-coup government led by Ma’aji, featuring proposals to review the removal of the petrol subsidy, boost military salaries, and dismantle internal military “godfatherism.”
-
Internal Doubts and Dissolution: Many participants expressed profound skepticism regarding Ma’aji’s leadership, funding, and operational viability. Despite internal warnings, doubts, and hesitation from several officers, the plot ultimately unraveled following coordinated arrests beginning in late September 2025.
