*DISCLAIMER ON THE ALLEGED WITHDRAWAL OF SUPPORT FOR ASIWAJU'S PRESIDENTIAL AMBITION BY REP. (PRINCE) ROTIMI AGUNSOYE*  Our attention has been drawn to the report being peddled around by mischief makers to the effect that Rep. (Prince) Rotimi Agunsoye has pitched tent with the camp of the Honourable Minister of Interior Affairs, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and has accordingly withdrawn his support for the aspiration of the APC National Leader and presidential hopeful, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We wish to state categorically that malicious and outrightly ridiculous allegation that the Honourable Member representing Kosofe Federal Constituency has ordered his teeming followers not to attend meetings of any pro-Asiwaju group is a lie from the pit of hell and an attempt to drag him into the fray and in the process strain the long-standing relationship between him and Asiwaju.  For the avoidance of doubt, Rep. (Prince) Rotimi Agunsoye is an unrepentant, an unapologetic and a trusted discipl

The lucky roads which are among the selected ten roads slated for reconstruction are  Abioye Street, at Mende, Maryland, Abayomi Odubena in Ojota, idowu Dada and Araromi in Ogudu. The Executive Chairman, Kosofe Local Government, Barrister Moyosore Ogunlewe said it was a promise earlier made which they are obliged to fulfil.

ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU JAGABAN' ON A CONSULTATION VISIT TO AWUJALE OF IJEBU LAND IN IJEBU ODE...... All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu while on a consultation visit to the paramount ruler of Ijebu Land. Igbokwe said, "ASIWAJU IN IJEBU ODE TODAY TO CONSULT WITH THE AWUJALE OF IJEBU LAND." Seeing the massive crowd that always welcomed Tinubu wherever he go in Nigeria have an important indication in Nigeria's politics. This massive support can be related to that of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2014. It is a fact that wherever Buhari went, he was welcomed by Nigerians who always trooped out en-mass for him. Tinubu is also getting the same support from Nigerians, most especially from the North and South-West that he has visited for consultations. Nigerians knows that Tinubu is an enigma that can't be rivaled among politicians in Nigeria. His generosity alone is sufficient for many Nigerians to gather suppo

TINUBU SHOWS NO BITTERNESS IN POLITICS BY VISITING A PDP CHIEFTAIN....... According to a report by TVCnews, the National leader of the APC and 2023 Presidential aspirant, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu pays a condolence visit to Senator Ben Murray Bruce over the death of his mother, Margaret Murray Bruce. For so mebody who understands the politics in Nigeria, it can be confirmed that Senator Ben Bruce is a staunch supporter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Tinubu is a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), but despite this political difference, the APC leader still finds time to pay a condolence visit to him. This gesture is an indication that there is no politics of bitterness in Tinubu's style of politics. This is good. Every politician should understand that politics is a game and not a do-or-die affair that all political candidates must win. It is all about winning the heart of the people to one's side like Tinubu has been doing across Nigeria.
