DSS Arrests Suspected Vote-Buyer During Ondo Governorship Election

Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested a suspected vote-buyer during the ongoing governorship election in Ondo State.
According to reports, the individual was caught with two bags of cash, allegedly intended to sway voters at the polling station.
The arrest took place at Ward 4, Polling Unit 007, situated outside St. Stephen’s Primary School in Akure.
It occurred around 9:00 am, just as voters began trooping in to exercise their civic duty.
Eyewitnesses disclosed that the suspect’s activities had drawn suspicion before the DSS operatives intervened and took him into custody.
Vote-buying, a practice that undermines free and fair elections, has been a recurring issue in Nigeria’s electoral process, and the arrest underscores the determination of security agencies to clamp down on such illegal acts.
Authorities are yet to disclose further details about the suspect or the exact amount of money recovered.
Meanwhile, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has already cast his vote at Polling Unit 6, Ward 4, located in Obenla, Ilaje Local Government Area.
Aiyedatiwa, the incumbent governor, is seeking re-election under the All Progressives Congress (APC) and faces stiff competition from 16 other candidates representing various political parties.
Among his main challengers is Agboola Ajayi, a seasoned politician contesting under the banner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ajayi, who has served in different political capacities, including as deputy governor, is a prominent figure in the state and is known for his grassroots support.
As the day progresses, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured voters of a transparent process.
Observers from local and international organizations have also been stationed across polling units to monitor proceedings.
Security agencies have intensified efforts to ensure a peaceful atmosphere, emphasizing their zero-tolerance policy toward electoral malpractices.

Chimamanda Adichie Tells Women not to Rush Marriage but Choose Right

Famous Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has advised young women to be intentional when choosing who they marry.
Speaking at the Dream Count event, Adichie pointed out how much a life partner can influence a woman’s journey. She urged women not to rush into marriage out of pressure or desperation, adding that choosing the wrong person can affect one’s life for years.
She also encouraged women to find fulfilment in themselves, no matter their passion or path. “It’s really important for a woman to have her own thing, something that brings her fulfilment, no matter what it is,” Adichie said.
She continued, “Be careful who you choose. Sometimes, deep down, you know the person you’re with isn’t good for you, but because you’re eager to settle down, you ignore the signs. Don’t settle. The person you marry plays a huge role in how your life turns out. If you choose someone who is kind and supportive, it changes everything. There are good men out there.”

Amaechi Says Buhari Performed Better Than Tinubu

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.
Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Amaechi Says It’s Time for a Southern President to Rule Nigeriar

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.
He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”
Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
