INFLUENCER OVER THE PEOPLE'S MANDATE: MORO DESERVES A BETTER CANDIDATE. The recently concluded APC primary election in Moro Local Government has raised serious concerns among party members and stakeholders regarding alleged vote manipulation and undue influence by certain state party executives. Moro Local Government is not a dumping ground for political injustice, nor will its people remain silent in the face of actions that undermine the democratic wishes of party members. We are prepared to challenge every irregularity with facts, evidence, and verifiable information. This is also a challenge to all aspirants who participated in the Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency House of Representatives primary election to openly present their records of service, community development, and contributions to humanity rather than relying on political influence or inducement of party officials. Leadership should be earned through credibility, competence, and the confidence of the people—not ...

PSG Crowned Kings of Europe as Arsenal Suffer Another Heartbreaking Champions League Final Defeat Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have emerged as the new kings of Europe after defeating Arsenal in a dramatic UEFA Champions League final, ending the Gunners' dream of lifting their first-ever European crown. The final was a fiercely contested encounter, with Arsenal showing determination and quality throughout the match. However, PSG's resilience and composure proved decisive as the French champions battled back before eventually prevailing to claim the prestigious trophy.

Exactly two decades after their first appearance in a UEFA Champions League final during the 2005/2006 season, the North London club has once again fallen at the final hurdle. In 2006, Arsenal suffered a 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in Paris despite taking the lead through Sol Campbell. The Gunners' hopes were dashed by lat...

 APC PRIMARY: CLAIMS OF TRANSPARENCY MUST BE BACKED WITH VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE, NOT PROPAGANDA. We have carefully read the statement issued by the so-called “Concerned Party Members of Moro Local Government” attempting to dismiss serious allegations surrounding the APC House of Representatives primary election for Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency. While they have repeatedly described the process as “transparent” and “credible,” it is important to remind the public that transparency is not established through media statements, emotional blackmail, or coordinated propaganda. Transparency is proven through facts, records, and verifiable documentation. If indeed the primary election was conducted fairly and Dr. Ajani Abiola Joshua truly secured what they termed an “overwhelming victory,” we challenge the promoters of this narrative to publicly release the complete ward-by-ward results across Edu, Moro, and Patigi Local Government Areas for scrutiny by party members and the general pu...

 Kwara North Agenda: It is Hypocrisy, Not Equity, If Moro LGA Gets Nothing By: Ibraheem Olasunkanmi Qoseem For Kwara APC, the last few weeks have been very intense and full of suspense. Every aspirant claimed anointing, preference, and consensus. Every day came with stories of federal might, Lagos allies, loyalty compensation, and grassroots acceptability, all of which were peculiar to different aspirants. One day, someone was preferred; another day, the decision was reversed to compensate for regional neglect. What is germane, however, is that the baton has now been passed to Kwara North to produce the APC gubernatorial candidate. For this gesture, the Kwara Governor deserves his flowers. He made and has now fulfilled his promise to hand over to a son of the land that has over time been neglected in terms of major capital development, overtly disconnected from the national grid, and marginalized at both the national and state levels when it comes to juicy appointments. The motorab...
