Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Barrister Olaniyi Ijalaye, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Ogun State with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Ijalaye passed away on Monday evening in Abuja following a meeting at INEC’s headquarters.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Lekan Adeniran, Governor Abiodun expressed his deep sorrow over Ijalaye’s sudden death, describing it as a significant shock.
He acknowledged Ijalaye’s distinguished service, highlighting his honesty, dedication, and intellectual prowess, combined with a notable sense of humility and patriotism.
Governor Abiodun praised the late REC as an exemplary public servant, known for his uncompromising standards and commitment to his duties. He conveyed his sympathies to Ijalaye’s family, friends, and colleagues, urging them to find strength in their grief.
The Governor also offered condolences to the people and government of Ondo State, honouring Ijalaye as a model of diligence and integrity in public service.
While acknowledging the profound loss felt across Ogun State, Governor Abiodun found comfort in the legacy Ijalaye left behind—one of integrity and impactful service.
He concluded with prayers for the peaceful repose of Ijalaye’s soul and for the protection and comfort of his bereaved family.
Tonye Cole speaks out on Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s emergence and continuation as the Governor of Rivers State.
He shared his thoughts, saying the governor likely consulted with his close allies before making key decisions.
“My assumption is that the governor would have gone with his own close allies, discussed with them, and said that this is the best way, that he has to move forward for the next six months or thereabouts of his administration. I would assume that’s what he did.”
“But I am not in his chamber, so I wouldn’t know. But that’s what I would assume he would do.”
He added “But having taken the responsibility to come and finish his term, then he has to finish it in the way that allows him to govern. He can’t go back into fighting.”
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
