Spirit of Freedom were invoked by me in Ogun state - Tinubu

 


The President, Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, said he invoked the spirit of freedom during his electioneering in Ogun State.


He said during the campaign season, some of his popular statements that resonated with Nigerians and his supporters were used to invoke the spirit.


The former Lagos State governor said the hardship that accompanied the Central Bank of Nigeria cash swap policy during the electioneering period forced him to invoke the spirit of freedom in the South West state.


“I invoked the spirit of freedom in Ogun,” the president said while speaking at the palace of Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, in Ijebu Ode.


He added, “It is a homecoming and I owe so much to all of you and there is so much to thank you for. Because of the way you have taken me and the way you’ve responded to me, all I can say is thank you.


“To many of you, thank you for being there for me and being there for the country. You demonstrated so much loyalty, so much commitment and voted at a very crucial time.


“Your monies were confiscated. The cash swap didn’t work. It was terrible then. I realised that and I came to Ogun State to invoke the spirit of freedom for which we are noted for.

“I invoked that spirit twice. The spirit of Baba (referring to Awujale). The spirit of Baba – Emi l’okan (it’s my turn), that’s Baba. The spirit for being blunt and that is him.


“And the second spirit is that of money (Naira scarcity), ‘ama dibo ama wole’ (we will vote and we will win) even if there is no money. And that, ever since, has been the spirit that is driving me to serve.”

Tinubu had on June 3 set the social media on fire when he vented his frustration during a presidential campaign in Abeokuta, saying it was through his efforts that the ex-President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), made it to Aso Rock after failing thrice.


It was during the event that he blurted out his now famous quote, “emilokan” (It’s my turn).


“It is my time. I’m educated. I’m experienced. I have been serving people for a long time. Bring me the presidency, it is my turn,’’ Tinubu had insisted.

He also pointed at Abiodun whom he described as ‘Eleyi’ absentmindedly as one of the products of his political hard work.


“Look at this one (Eleyi) seated behind me, Dapo, he wouldn’t have become governor without my support,” Tinubu had stated.

Tinubu made the statement while addressing the APC delegates in Ogun State.


His outburst evoked mixed feelings from Nigerians, with many loyalists of the party including the National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, saying the remarks were meant to slight the president and Ogun State governor.


Also, in reaction to the new naira scarcity and fuel shortage which provoked riots across the country, Tinubu accused unnamed powerful persons of masterminding the crisis to shoot down his aspirations. His ally, Governor Nasir El-Rufai, affirmed that some Presidency officials, including the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, were working against Tinubu.


EID: Makinde Has Done What A Son Should Do For His Father; Gave Me Big Cow, Bags Of Rice – Ladoja

 




Former Governor of Oyo, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, on Wednesday, stated that he still maintain a cordial relationship with the governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde.

While speaking on the present relationship in the aftermath of how the 2023 election panned out, Ladoja boasted that he had a father-son relationship with Makinde.

“I have father to son relationship with Seyi Makinde. It is cordial. He gave me a big cow and several bags of rice for this Salah celebration. That is what a son should do to the father,” he said.

The Nigerian Tribune Newspaper reports that Ladoja while addressing journalists at his Ibadan home after observing Eid prayers said he was furious at the governor’s lack of support for the senatorial and House of Representatives candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last elections such that the party lost the three senatorial seats and nine Reps seats.

Ladoja said his stance was that even if the governor was not supporting the presidential candidate of the PDP in the last election, he should not act such that the chances of his other candidates of the party in the National Assembly elections in the State would be jeopardized.

Asked if there was a clash of interests prior to the election, he said: “What happened was that I got furious because I felt that the governor should have supported his candidates for the Senatorial and House of Representatives elections, even if he did not want to support the presidential candidate. But, he did not support the Senators; he lost the three senatorial seats; he lost nine House of Representatives seats.

“I was disgusted. That was the only thing. I then said that election will have effect on his own election. If that is what people feel is not right, that is their own opinion. My own opinion is that governor of the state should support candidates for senatorial, house of representatives. What is the clash of interests? I was not contesting; my son was not contesting; my wife was not contesting.”

The ruling PDP noted that even the relationship between God and man is clearly defined adding that both have expectations towards each other in order to continue to sustain the relationship while urging Muslims to continue to trust the Seyi Makinde  led PDP government enough to continue to support it.

"Eid-el-Kabir is one of the two important festivals in Islam. It is an occasion where Muslims celebrate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, Ismail, in total submission to will and command of Allah.

"However, his faith was only being tested by God and when it was discovered that he was willing to exhibit such level of obedience, God gave Prophet Ibrahim a ram to use as sacrifice instead of his son.

"So, in essence, the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir avails Muslims the opportunity to imitate the sacrificial giving as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.

"We therefore, urge our brothers and sisters in Islam to endeavor to extend the hand of love to one another inclusive or non Muslims alike in showing kindness and compassion through giving.

"Do not hoard meat or food, ensure you give to others in faith and the Almighty Allah that has provided for you to celebrate will provide even more by simply showing obedience to the teachings of Islam." The party said.

JUST IN: JAMB Releases Cut Off Marks For Admission

 


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has adopted the National Minimum Tolerable score for admission into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education as 140, 100 and 100 respectively.

The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this at the 2023 Policy Meeting of Tertiary Institutions in Abuja on Saturday.

He said that all institutions must abide by this rule and must not go below the approved points.

He also said that every tertiary institution must ensure its own minimum standard, especially as it relates to institutional screening and grading in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE), which must not be lower than 50 marks.


”All institutions must abide by this minimum point. This means that no institution can go below the standard.


”For the 15 private universities that demand between 120 and 130 as minimum points, note that the 140 is sacrosanct and must not be violated.


“This is because the system put in place will not recognise 139, so ensure you comply,” he said
