BREAKING: Oyo State Surveillance Aircraft Touch Down in Ibadan

The two surveillance aircraft purchased by the Oyo State Government have landed in Ibadan, meeting the government’s pledge to have them delivered before July ends.

In a statement, the Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, called the arrival a key step in the administration’s push to boost security through better intelligence gathering and aerial monitoring.

He noted that plans to acquire the two aircraft were first announced by the Oyo State Government on July 8, 2025, as part of wider efforts to strengthen security agencies and tackle emerging threats across the state.

According to Oyelade, Governor Seyi Makinde had said on July 18, 2026, that the aircraft were already in Nigeria and undergoing reassembly at the Nigerian Air Force hangar in Lagos.

He also said the government had assured residents just a week ago that the aircraft would be in Oyo State before the end of July — a promise now delivered.

The aircraft are expected to support the work of security agencies, including Amotekun Corps and other formations, by improving aerial surveillance, intelligence gathering, and quick response to crime across the state.

Governor Seyi Makinde is presently at the airport to receive the two aircraft.

BREAKING: Founder of "The GSMist", Makinde Loyalist 'Royal Umbrella' Resigns from PDP/APM, Quits all GSM Platforms

IBADAN — Hon. Yomi Olajide, popularly known as Royal Umbrella and a staunch loyalist of Governor Seyi Makinde, has announced his resignation from the PDP and APM in Oyo State. He also requested to be removed from all political platforms affiliated with the GSM project.

In a statement released today, Olajide described politics as "a game of interest, not emotions," adding that "political discourse should remain a battle of ideas rather than a personal war."

The Ibadan Poly HND holder in Quantity Surveying said his primary focus remains his "Royal Umbrella" brand, while thanking God "that I am still alive to move on with my hobby, politics."

Despite his exit, Olajide heaped praises on Governor Makinde, whom he calls Fogbontolu.

"Your Excellency, Engr Seyi Makinde, without exaggeration or political undertones, you have transformed Oyo State more than the majority of your predecessors since 2019 till today. I am proud of you, sir," he stated.
"Fogbontolu of our time, thank you for your friendly support to me 🙏"

He appreciated party leaders including Chief Dayo Ogungbenro, Alhaji Wasiu Adeleke, Senator Monsurat Sunmonu, Rt. Hon. Debo Ogundoyin, and several federal and state lawmakers, cabinet members, and support groups who stood with him since 2018.

Olajide also apologized to Ward 9, Ibadan North LG and to anyone he may have offended "in the course of defending my principal and friend, Engr Seyi Makinde and my Party."

"Finally, nothing is permanent as I have to resign from our party and I will pray to Allah to direct my political affairs," he said.

He concluded with:
"Attention: Please admin, kindly remove me from any loop that bears PDP/APM and GSM's political project as my loyalty is no more with them."

Signed: Hon Yomi Olajide - Ore Gomina - Royal Umbrella Cares

Political observers note that the departure of Royal Umbrella, a visible grassroots mobilizer for GSM since 2018, may signal new realignments ahead of 2027.

WHAT OMITITUN 3.0 ACTUALLY MEANS TO OYO, AND APM GENERALLY TO NIGERIANS..APM turning existing cities into villages.
~ Saliu Joshua

Omititun 3.0 is being sold as renewal, yet many Oyo communities still battle impassable roads in both cities and rural areas. Under H.E. Engr. Seyi Makinde’s administration, visible infrastructure gaps raise serious questions about readiness to govern further.

The APM’s push for continuity under the Omititun 3.0 banner, with Bimbo Adekanbi and a projected presidential ambition for Makinde, feels disconnected from grassroots realities. It mirrors a narrative of optics over outcomes.

To many residents, this path risks reducing thriving cities to neglected villages. Without fixing foundational infrastructure first, Omititun 3.0 reads less like progress and more like a pathetic reversal for Oyo and Nigeria.
