The results of the 2024 Ondo governorship election have left the Ekiti PDP scrambling to pick up the pieces. For a party already battling internal divisions, the APC’s emphatic victory in Ondo feels like another huge nail on the coffin. Before the election, social media was awash with PDP supporters beating their chests and taking digs at the APC-led government.  However, since APC’s landslide win on Saturday, the opposition’s loud voices seem to have faded into whispers. The harsh truth has become clear, with reality dawning on them that removing a government that is delivering results and enjoys federal backing is not as easy as some online campaigners make it seem. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s political experience and dominance in the Southwest continue to bear fruit for the APC. Tinubu, who has held Lagos State firmly in his corner since 1999, understands the game better than most. His influence across the region remains a significant factor in the APC’s stronghol...

By Kayode Balogun  As more details emerge about Isaac Fayose’s alleged shady dealings in Ekiti, questions are now extending beyond him to encompass the role of Odunayo Ehinafe, a member of the APC.  Despite his connection to prominent APC figures, Ehinafe has been accused of using his platform to amplify Fayose’s persistent critiques of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration.  The situation has led many to question Ehinafe’s motives and loyalty, particularly given Fayose’s tainted record and Ehinafe’s  political affiliations.

Kayode Balogun  "He who comes to equity must do so with clean hands."  This doctrine don't seem to be put in consideration by a confirmed swindler and gigolo who have recently chosen to go round zuckerville  with a garb of decency and morality.  Isaac Fayose, a mentally deranged person, is at it again, stirring public criticism of the Ekiti State government and positioning himself as a vocal opponent of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration. But what lies beneath this performance?  Far from being a public watchdog, Fayose’s record is marked by a litany of fraud allegations, calling into question his credibility and the integrity of those hailing him as a genuine critic. In 2019, Isaac Fayose was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on charges of a N17.6 million fraud, in which he allegedly defrauded one Joe Onyiuke under the pretense of leasing a property. According to the charges, Isaac Fayose collected millions by fa...
