YOUR CRAWL TO POWER AS THE MEMBER HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY OYO STATE : WHAT IT MEANS TO THE CONSTITUENCY
By : Engr. Aderogba Taiwo Abdul-Gaffar

As Representative of Ibarapa Central and North State Constituency in Oyo State, we appreciate Hon. Peter Ojedokun's efforts in representing our district. However, we've been on your tail to capture your journey for the past 6 years but its quite discouraging prompting us to express our concerns and expectations and we're compelled to express our disappointment and frustration with the current state of representation in the Oyo State House of Assembly.

KEY CONCERNS

- Lack of Visible Projects:
Despite being in office for six years, we've seen no notable projects that directly benefit our community.

- Limited Legislative Impact:
There's no record of Hon. Ojedokun sponsoring or supporting meaningful bills or motions in the last 6months that we know of that will address our community's needs. It appears that personal wealth accumulation has taken precedence over serving the community's interests.
The BILL to establish the AGRIBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AGENCY moved on the floor of the house on January 28 , 2020 was quite a good start but what changed ?
Please we need you to wake up from your sleep sir.....

- Neglect of Eruwa-Ibadan Road:
The road has become a death trap, and our representatives have failed to take action, instead choosing to praise contractors for their donations to local organizations and Religious institutions.
It's even more frustrating having the son of the soil Rt Hon Adebo Ogundoyin as the Speaker Oyo state House of Assembly but we'll be in the forefront to ask questions from our people in Ibarapa East how the Government has fared in the last few years of his leadership as the Speaker .

- Lack of Genuine Representation:
We feel that our representatives are more focused on collecting their seating allowances than genuinely representing our interests in the state house of assembly. we've got a bad record on electricity supply and we believe our representatives should be doing more to address the underlying issues and ensure sustainable development in this sector even as far as calling on the completion of the Power station projects in IBARAPA REGION.

Expectations
- Meaningful Representation:
We expect our representative to prioritize our community's needs and work towards tangible development.

- Transparency and Accountability:
We request a scorecard of Hon. Ojedokun's achievements over the past six years to assess his performance.

- Community Engagement:
Regular updates and engagement with the community would help build trust and ensure our voices are heard.

- A New Approach to Representation
In today's political landscape, constituents expect more from their representatives. It's no longer enough to rely on short-term solutions like "stomach infrastructure" and donations. We need sustained development and impactful legislation that addresses our community's long-term needs.

We urge our representatives to take immediate action to address the concerns outlined above. We also appreciate the efforts of our local government chairmen, Hon. Olusola Ayodele Adeleke and Hon Lateef Akorede who have shown a commitment to making positive changes in our community.
We also wish to express our Profound Gratitude to HON DR ANTHONY ADEBAYO ADEPOJU ( IBARAPA KAN ) representing the Good people of Ibarapa Central and North Federal Constituency in the Green chamber leading us in the right directions as it should be But we hope to receive more meaningful representation though your leadership sir....
We pray that the Almighty will keep you all safe and see you through your travails .....

CONCLUSION
We urge Hon. Peter Ojedokun to reassess his priorities and focus on delivering meaningful results for our community. By working together, we can drive progress and development in Ibarapa Central and North State Constituency.
It's important to state for posterity sake that It's quite disrespectful to call on Governor Seyi Makinde when we have Hon. Peter Ojedokun representing the good people of Ibarapa Central and North State Constituency, Hon. Seun Fakorede who was the Commissioner for youth and sport apponted in 2019 August to july 2021 and now Succeeded by Hon. Wasilat Adegoke Adefemi as the new Commisioner for youth and sport from same region but instead to use this office to make meaningful impact , we give excuses of non performance of the other office holders and furtunately the Governor added another fleet to our shoulder with the Emergence of Hon. ADEMOLA OBAFEMI OJO who was the immediate past Deputy Chief of Staff between 2020 and 2022 and now the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy matters in the state and to crown it all , We have the Speaker of the Oyo state house of Assembly Rt Hon. Debo Ogundoyin from Ibarapa East and ido Eruwa road is still in a deplorable condition.
With due respect to you all , I'd wish that the IGBOORA TOWNSHIP STADIUM be completed by owner but it's a shame after years of land allocation and Engr. Seyi Makinde commenced this project few years ago but still under construction till date. How then would you expect us to begin to call on the Governor for developmental project without passing through our foot soldiers .....
GOD BLESS IBARAPA LAND
GOD BLESS OYO STATE
GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

This is Dr. Adekunle Raif Adeniji from Ife Central — APC National Director of Administration

He was kidnapped in February 2025 by gunmen wielding AK-47 rifles in the Chikakore area of Kubwa, within the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

His captors initially demanded a ransom of ₦350 million for his release. According to reports, negotiations led to a reduced payment of ₦50 million.

After the payment of the ransom, it was discovered that he had died in their captive.

The National Security Adviser asked Nigerians to stop paying ransom, but an important member of their party was in captive for over 2months and they couldn't rescue him.

May his soul rest well 😔

Ìgósùn Cave: Unveiling Potential Tourist Center in Ayete

The Ìgósùn Cave, a recently discovered natural wonder, is located in the outskirts of Ayétẹ̀ town in Ìbàràpá North Local Government area of Oyo State, Nigeria. The cave, by description, is visibly a 'rock overhang' consisting of a pair of rocks, one leaning against the other or stacked precariously, forming a small rocky sheltering and sheltered cave. It is a rocky edifice emplacing a number of mysterious attractions, including over 300-capacity sitting space under it. The cave has emerged as a significant tourist attraction in Ayétẹ̀.

Our visitation and research have revealed that this cave has been in existence for thousands of years, with historical ties to the Ọ̀dọ̀mọ̀fín family - a key lineage among the other founders of the Ayétẹ̀ community and once inhabited the cave for ages before settling in the hub of Ayétẹ̀ due to advancement and civilization. The cave's historical significance is physically evident in the presence of ancient mortars, mats, shelter-filled atmospheric conditions, and other archaeological artifacts, which attest to the cave's importance as a dwelling place for the Ọ̀dọ̀mọ̀fín family and potentially other communities. In addition, these findings provide a glimpse into the lives of the people who once called the cave home.

The cave's cleanliness, well-ventilated environment, and well-formed shade against rainfall, sun-heat, and a naturally perfected haven make it a super attractive destination for any tourist who will marvel at its natural beauty and learn about its rich historical background. As a tourist attraction, the Ìgósùn Cave offers a unique opportunity for visitors to marvel at its stunning formation and gain insight into the lives of the people who were once inhabitants in the area.

The cave's potential as a tourist center is vast, with opportunities for guided tours, cultural events, mini events, picnics, researches, educational programs, and hiking of Ìgósùn hill, which the cave itself is an extension of. The Ìgósùn Cave development as a tourist center can have a positive impact on the local community and Ìbàràpá region, promoting economic growth, cultural preservation, and community engagement.

The Ìgósùn Cave is currently manageably accessible, with a well-defined access road that follows the route from the Ayétẹ̀ Police Divisional Headquarters to Ayétẹ̀ Grammar School and the Muslim College. The local community has demonstrated its commitment to preserving this natural wonder by volunteering to clear the surrounding land, making the area more accessible and secure for visitors.

However, to further enhance the cave's potential as a tourist center, additional infrastructure development is necessary. Specifically, the provision of more artificial shelters and buildings by the government would help to improve the overall visitor experience and provide adequate facilities for tourists. This could include the construction of permanent shelters, restrooms, and other amenities that would support the growth of tourism in the area.

PRESS RELEASE
February 17th, 2025.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: OGUN POLICE COMMAND DECLARES HABEEB OKIKIOLA (AKA “PORTABLE”) WANTED

…Valid Court Order Issued for His Arrest and Presentation at Any Police Station

The Ogun State Police Command hereby declares Habeeb Okikiola Olalomi, popularly known as “Portable”, wanted for his involvement in a violent attack on government officials carrying out their lawful duties.

On February 5, 2025, at about 1000hrs, officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office
1. TPL Onabanjo Abidemi
2. TPL Raymond Lateef
3. TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi
were conducting an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, when they encountered an elderly man, later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar in the area. Upon identifying themselves and requesting the approved building plan, the father informed them that his son was unavailable.

However, moments later, Portable, armed with a firearm and other dangerous weapons, led a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the unarmed officials. The enforcement officers sustained various bodily injuries but managed to escape and reported the incident to the Ota Area Command, which subsequently escalated the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further action.

Nine accomplices were arrested, but Portable fled the scene and has since gone into hiding. Multiple formal invitations were sent to him, requesting his presence at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, which he deliberately ignored without cause or legal representation.

Following his repeated evasion, the Ogun State Police Command has obtained a valid court order declaring him wanted.

Members of the public are strongly advised to assist the police by providing any valuable information that can lead to his immediate arrest. Anyone found aiding or harbouring the suspect will face legal consequences.

For any relevant information, kindly report to the nearest police station or contact the Ogun State Police Command through its official communication channels or police public relations department.

There is this town in Osun state.
Ipetumodu.

A strange thing is happening there currently.

The king of the town has not been sighted in the town since March 2024.

Nobody knows his whereabouts.

Before his disappearance, he had been shuttling between America and Ipetumodu.
He used to live in America before he became a king in 2019.

But apparently, it would appear that he made a trip to America and didn’t come back for about a year now.

As you may imagine, rumors everywhere.
Some say he is sick.
Some say he is facing fraud trial in America.

Before he left, he was not staying in the traditional palace. He said the palace was too old.

So he demolished it.

He had not built a new one before he disappeared.

No palace.
No king.

Ipetumodu.

Copied.
