Allegations of anti-party against Gbenga Afeni and Adesoji Adeleke (Masilo)

 

ALLEGATIONS OF IMPERSONATION, ANTI-PARTY AND FRAUD AGAINST MR GBENGA AFENI AND PRINCE ADESOJI ADELEKE (MASILO) OF THE BOOT PARTY, OSUN STATE.

 

The Osun State Chairman of National Rescue Movement Party in Osun State, Prince Adetona Abede has made a serious allegations against one Mr Gbenga Afeni a member and the senatorial candidate of Boot party in the February 25th national assembly election, masquerading as the National Rescue Movement (NRM) Chairman in Osun State with the active connivance of Prince Adesoji Adeleke (Masilo).

 

 Prince Adetona Abede has also accused the said Prince Adesoji Adeleke (Masilo) the Osun State Chairman of Boot party of collecting and pocketing  the sum of one million naira given to each political parties in alliance with the then ruling APC party in Osun state during the 2022 governorship election meant for his party NRM in Osun state.

 

 However,Prince Adesoji Adeleke (Masilo) refused to give the money to the authentic Chairman of NRM in Osun State Prince Adetona Abede despite supporting APC in the governorship election.

 

Prince Adetona Abede has further alleged that the Osun State Boot Party Chairman (Masilo) is known for fraudulent activities like this which has made the Boot party led by him to be considered as corrupt,and this has depreciated the value and glory of the Boot Party in Osun State with his record of anti party, electoral fraud, and political prostitution,as he was nicknamed as AGIP (Any Government In Power) because of his antecedents.

 

 Meanwhile in order to cover up this atrocities,Prince Adesoji Adeleke (Masilo)  therefore engaged his senatorial candidate,Mr Gbenga Afeni, a card-carrying member of the Boot Party, by parading him as the Chairman of NRM, even to the extent of taking pictures with the Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner claiming that the revered REC,Mr Mutiu Agboke is aware of their scam which the Resident Electoral Commissioner is not aware of. 

This act of impersonation and criminal activities of the duo of Adeleke and Afeni is against the law of the land and we therefore implored the National leadership of Boot party to wade in before it degenerates further.

 

The leadership of NRM has confirmed Prince Adetona Abede as the authentic Chairman of the party, and his name is in Osun state INEC record as the NRM state Chairman as at the time of writing this report. The said Gbenga Afeni is not a card-carrying member of NRM, but a member of the Boot Party where he contested as a Senatorial candidate  in the just concluded Senatorial election representing Osun East Senatorial district of the state.  

 

Afeni has a record of anti party activities in his former party before joining Boot party in Osun state.

 

Prince Adetona Abede has reported the impersonation case leveled against Gbenga Afeni to the Osun State Commissioner of Police and the Director of State Security. 

 

The allegations made by Prince Adetona Abede are serious, and they threaten the integrity of the political party system in Nigeria, particularly Osun State. 

The actions of Masilo and Afeni are illegal and against the law. It is important that the authorities investigate these allegations thoroughly and take appropriate action against them if found to be true.

 

Impersonation is a serious crime that is punishable by law. It is illegal to assume the identity of another person or to present oneself as someone else. Gbenga Afeni's actions of parading himself as the Chairman of NRM in the state with the support of Prince Adesoji Adeleke (Masilo) needs to be investigated and dealth with accordingly.

 

The political party system is meant to be transparent and fair, and it is important that the integrity of the system be upheld in our country- Nigeria.

 

Prince Adetona Abede claimed he is receiving threats and attempts on his life because he is fighting for his rights and sanity in the political party system of Osun State. It is important that he is protected and that the authorities take appropriate measures to ensure his safety.

 

The political party system in Osun State should be based on merit and not on fraudulent activities or anti party activities. 

 

The public should be aware of the actions of Masilo and Afeni, and they should not be allowed to continue their fraudulent and anti party activities.

 

The media should also play a role in exposing the actions of people like Masilo and Afeni and holding them accountable for their actions.

Governor Seyi Makinde yet to fulfill his campaign promise on Bowers Tower

 

GOVERNOR SEYI MAKINDE YET TO FULFILL HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE ON BOWERS TOWER

 

By: Wole Adedoyin

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Nigeria, is facing criticism for failing to fulfill a key campaign promise. During his run for office, Governor Makinde promised to refurbish and reopen the iconic Bowers Tower in Ibadan, the state capital. The tower, which was built in the 1960s, had fallen into disrepair and was in dire need of renovation.

However, over three years into Governor Makinde's term, the tower remains untouched. The once proud landmark has become an eyesore, a symbol of broken promises and unfulfilled potential. Local residents and tourists alike are disappointed by the governor's lack of action, and many are starting to question whether he will ever follow through on his promises.

Governor Makinde's failure to refurbish Bowers Tower is particularly galling given the importance of tourism to the state's economy. Oyo State is rich in history and culture, and the tower could have been a major draw for tourists. Instead, the tower remains closed and off-limits, a missed opportunity for the state and its people.

The lack of progress on the tower is also a disappointment for local residents who had hoped that the governor's promises would lead to real change in their community. Many residents feel that the governor has neglected their needs and interests, and that he has not done enough to revitalize the area and create jobs.

Governor Makinde has been criticized for his slow pace of progress on other projects as well. Despite his campaign promises to create jobs and improve infrastructure, many residents feel that he has fallen short. Some have even accused the governor of failing to deliver on his promises, and of using the tower as a symbol of his broken promises.

The governor's lack of action on Bowers Tower has also sparked concern among preservationists and history buffs. The tower is an important part of the state's heritage, and many feel that it should be preserved and protected for future generations. Without a refurbishment, the tower is likely to deteriorate further, putting its future at risk.

Governor Makinde must take immediate action to fulfill his promise to refurbish Bowers Tower. The tower is an important part of the state's heritage, and it is essential that it be preserved and protected. The governor must also take steps to address the broader issues that have led to his slow pace of progress, including corruption and a lack of investment in infrastructure.

In conclusion, Governor Seyi Makinde's failure to refurbish Bowers Tower is a disappointment for the people of Oyo State, and a reminder of the challenges that still lie ahead. The governor must take action to restore the tower and deliver on his campaign promises, if he is to win back the trust and support of the people.
