Governor Abiodun Mourns Ogun REC Olaniyi Ijalaye
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.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
