YYA SUES FOR PEACE IN ONDO ASSEMBLY, CONDOLES WITH OGUN OVER KASHAMU

The Yoruba Youth Assembly (YYA) has called for the reinstatement of the suspended deputy minority leader in Ondo State House of Assembly for a lasting peace in the legislature.

YYA, an umbrella body of Yoruba youth groups globally, made the call in a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday.

The statement was jointly signed by its President, Mr Olarinde Thomas, the General Secretary, Mr Deji Oso and Mr Nathaniel Oduyemi, Publicity Secretary and made available to the Newsmen.

The group called for harmonious relationship in Ondo Assembly to enable the House deliver quality representation ahead of the October 10 governorship election in the state.

YYA described as “illegal” the suspension of Mr Tomide Akinribodo, Deputy Minority Leader of Ondo State House of Assembly.

The group condemned events leading to the suspension of Akinribodo and called for a truce and reversal of the suspension.

“We, therefore, demand for the reversal of the illegal suspension and immediate reinstatement of Hon. Tomide Akinribodo without any further delay in the interest of justice, equity and fairness.

“The Yoruba Youth Assembly as the umbrella body of all Yoruba Youth organisations in Nigeria shall continue to implement its role towards the entrenchment of the principles of justice, fairness and good governance in the Southwest-Nigeria, inclusive of Ondo State.

“Hon. Tomide Akinribodo is a Yoruba Youth and a staunch believer in the Yoruba Youth Project. He has been a hardworking representative and vibrant ambassador of the Yoruba Youth Constituency,” it stated.

The organization appealed to the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Mr David Oleyelogun, to be a father to all and toe the path of peace and caution.

YYA also appealed to youths in the state to continue to be law abiding and shun all forms of violence ahead of the governorship elections in the state.

“Finally, we wish to acknowledge the hitherto conduct of the youths of Ondo State, while anticipating a peaceful governorship election.

“Equally, we are seizing this moment to appeal further that the youth should shun violence and remain law-abiding in their conduct before, during and after the Ondo governorship election,” YYA said.

The group also commiserated with the government and people of Ogun over the passing of Senator Esho Jinadu also known as Buruji Kashamu.

“Leadership of YYA received the sad news of demise of our leader Senator Esho Jinadu, we condole with the entire people of Ogun State and his family. May Allah forgive his sins and accept his soul to Aljanah,” it stated.

Our going to court is a battle between Fayemi, his circle of worshippers and conscience of the Party - Babafemi Ojudu Senator Babafemi Ojudu, the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, tells Ekiti journalists in this interview the reason some leaders of the party are in court, challenging the 2019 Congress of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC ) in Ekiti State and other issues in the polity. Few days ago, you and some leaders of the party went to court challenging the 2019 congress of the party, with the development already generating series of reactions from party members in the state.

Therefore, I will not want it to be personalized as if it is a battle between me and Governor Kayode Fayemi. Rather it is a battle between Fayemi, his circle of worshippers and the conscience of the party. Many stakeholders in the party do not like the...

ILORIN LOOTING, A LEGACY OF BUKOLA SARAKI THE PROFESSIONAL LOOTER. By Femi Arekujaye It's regrettable that the meaningful and peaceful protest of the youths was hijacked and redirected for destruction and political gains. This is openly displayed in the commiseration message coming from Dr. Bukola Saraki, the architect of poverty and hunger in kwara state. The loot he carried out in kwara is a million times worse than what we are physically seeing today, he has laid a bad precedent before he was shamelessly chased out in the state by electorate.

The commiseration message by Bukola Saraki to his young looters had really proven how the act of ransacks brought a mischievous smile to his lips and that is why we will continue to hold him accountable to the people of kwara state: because Bukola Saraki had set a ba...
