A major political controversy has erupted in Ekiti State as the Renewed Media Agenda (RMA) accuses a Federal Government appointee, Engr. Kayode Ojo, of bankrolling a coordinated smear campaign against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration over the state of federal roads in the state.
Ojo, who is Chairman Governing Council and Pro-Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, allegedly hired comedians Kunle Aford and Woli Agba, both from Ogun State to produce attack skits targeting the Federal Government and, by extension, the President.
RMA described the videos as “carefully crafted to mislead the public, shift blame, and tarnish the reputation of the state government,” stressing that the Ado-Aramoko-Itawure road, which was the focus of the attacks, is a federal road under Abuja’s jurisdiction.
“The smoking gun came in the final moments of Woli Agba’s video, where he made a direct reference to Kayode Ojo, effectively confirming the source of sponsorship for this orchestrated misinformation campaign,” RMA said in its statement.
The group dismissed the stunt as “a calculated and coordinated political ambush dressed as entertainment,” adding, “A leopard will never change its spots. Ojo can never be a loyalist of any party.”
They recalled that after losing the APC governorship primary in 2022, Ojo “dragged the party to court all the way to the Supreme Court and openly directed his followers to work against the party and vote for SDP in the last gubernatorial election.”
According to RMA, Ojo’s current moves mirror his actions in 2022: “If he could sabotage APC in Ekiti, then it should surprise no one that he is now attempting to undermine the PBAT-led Federal Government. Like he did in Ekiti, he is simply repeating the same playbook at the federal level.”
Defending the President’s performance on Ekiti roads, RMA stated: “The Ado-Ijan-Omuo road has been awarded, contractors are on site, and the Ado-Ikere-Akure road is nearing completion.” They further noted that the Ekiti State Government had paid over ₦400 million in compensation to fast-track work on federal road projects in Ikere, Ado-Ijan, and Omuo-Ifaki corridors.
“Rather than bankroll comedians to act out ignorance, we urge all stakeholders to unite behind ongoing efforts to secure more federal attention for Ekiti’s road network.
"The people deserve solutions, not sponsored drama,” RMA concluded.
