"I will, in the meantime, retire to my village farm from where I will be watching Kachalla Atiku Abubakar and his band of wicked vote riggers and result manipulators mercilessly out-rigged and beaten to pulp by Tinubu’s ruthless and superior rigging machine.

"Then, it will be bye-bye to this octogenarian presidential wannabe. It will be bye-bye to the North for preferring a religious hegemonists over a competent world-renowned economist and corporate guru....."

A fresh twist has emerged in the ongoing conversation surrounding the Ahoro-Esinele abduction of schoolchildren and educators.

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has made a startling allegation, suggesting that the incident may not be entirely disconnected from politics. He questioned whether elements within the Oyo State Government could have exploited the tragedy to cast the Federal Government in a negative light.

The remarks have triggered intense debate across political and social circles, with supporters and critics weighing in on the controversial claim.

While opinions remain divided, one reality remains unchanged: families are still waiting for the safe return of their loved ones, and communities continue to demand answers.

Oyo APC cannot produce a so-called “consensus candidate” in a closed room while the real power blocs are absent.

No individual or group has the legitimacy to impose a candidate without the input of the major stakeholders who have built and sustained the party in Oyo State — the Lamists, SENACO, Oyato, Teslim Folarin and Adebayo Adelabu.

Any attempt to force a consensus without these critical blocs is not unity — it is political exclusion, and it will only deepen the cracks within Oyo APC ahead of 2027.

A true consensus must be collective, inclusive, and accepted by all major tendencies within the party — anything short of that is mere imposition dressed as agreement.
