Peace Must Reign: Makun Youth Call for Unity During Agemo Festival and political Campaign Period

The Makun Agemo Festival is one of our community’s most cherished cultural heritage. It is a season of prayers, cleansing, reflection, and togetherness that belongs to everyone in Makun , regardless of political affiliation, age, or background.

In recent days, however, reports have emerged from a political party in Makun, Sagamu, alleging threat, intimidation, and deliberate disruption of peace participation ahead of the festival. There are also reports of opposition posters and banners being destroyed.

These actions go against the very spirit of Agemo. Agemo is not a political gathering. It is a sacred tradition that unites us, reminds us of our roots, and sets the tone for peace in Sagamu for the year ahead. When fear and destruction enter that space, the whole community suffers.

*The Makun Youth Position*

The youths of Makun are speaking with one voice:

We implore all youths and all Makun people to let peace continue to reign in our community. We do not want anything that would stop the peace we are currently enjoying in Makun and in Sagamu in general.

Violence, intimidation, and destruction of property have no place in our festival or in our community. Tearing down posters and banners does not win arguments, it only deepens division. Threatening fellow residents does not protect our community, it puts all of us at risk.

*Agemo Belongs to Everyone*
Agemo Festival belongs to everyone in Makun.
To the elders who preserve the rites.
To the youths who protect the peace.
To families who come home to celebrate.
To every political party and resident who calls Makun home.

No group owns Agemo. No group should use it as a ground for confrontation.

*Our Call*
1. *To all political actors in Makun and Sagamu in general*: Let us see ourselves as one, we must ensure our campaigns and disagreements be conducted with respect.

The protection of our people, and Continuous peace should always be our priority.

2. *To our security agencies*: This matter needs urgent attention and intervention.

We need your presence to ensure a safe and neutral environment during, and after the festival so everyone can participate freely.

3. *To community leaders and elders*: Continue to guide us with wisdom and hold all sides accountable to peaceful conduct.
4. *To every Makun youth*: let us be custodians of peace. Do not be used to intimidate, destroy, or disrupt. Report threats and choose dialogue.

Makun has worked hard to enjoy the peace we have today. We cannot trade that peace for momentary political tension. The strength of Makun and Sagamu in general is in our unity, and the Agemo Festival is one of the strongest symbols of that unity.

Let us celebrate this year Agemo with clean hearts, open hands, and a shared commitment.

Makun will remain peaceful.

_Signed,_
*Hon.(Comr) Olajide Ayeola OLORI-ODO*

BASHORUN ADEBAYO AWOSANYA DONATES TWO SIENNA VEHICLES TO SAGAMU APC, PLEDGES N500,000 WARD EMPOWERMENT

Bashorun Adebayo Awosanya has donated two Sienna vehicles to the Sagamu Local Government chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), led by the party Chairman, Hon. Rotimi Omotayo (Omujo), in support of the party’s campaign and mobilisation activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The handover took place this afternoon at the Asoludero Compound, Hospital, Sagamu, with the vehicles dedicated to supporting the campaign efforts of the APC across the various levels of the forthcoming elections. The vehicles were branded with the pictures and identities of the party’s candidates, including the Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Ogun State Governorship candidate, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI); Ogun East Senatorial candidate, Omo'ba Dapo Abiodun; House of Representatives candidate, Hon. Funmi Efuwape; and the Sagamu State House of Assembly candidates for Sagamu Constituencies I and II, Hon. Damilare Bello and Hon. Ayodele Olapeju respectively.

The brief handover ceremony was attended by members of the party’s executive committees, leaders and other stakeholders, who gathered to witness the presentation and appreciate the gesture.

Speaking during the handover, Bashorun Awosanya said the donation was made in the interest of the party’s progress and to facilitate its campaign and grassroots mobilisation efforts. He noted that the gesture was a continuation of his support for the APC, having donated three Sienna vehicles to the party during the last election.

Receiving the keys on behalf of the Sagamu APC, the party Chairman, Hon. Rotimi Omotayo (Omujo), expressed appreciation to Bashorun Awosanya for his continuous support and contributions towards the growth and electoral success of the party. He acknowledged his progressive efforts and described the gesture as another demonstration of his belief in the party.

Also speaking, the Ogun East APC Senatorial Chairman, Otunba Dr. 'Keke Adedoyin (Asoludero), commended Bashorun Awosanya for his consistent contributions to the party, particularly his willingness to support its activities despite not seeking any elective position or personal political benefit.

Otunba Adedoyin noted that Bashorun Awosanya had continued to pour his resources into the party for the collective interest of its members and its success at the polls. While praying for continued blessings, prosperity and greater opportunities for him, he humorously appealed for more contributions towards the progress of the party, describing himself as an “Oliver Twist” who would always ask for more.

In his remarks, Hon. Muri Obafemi Awolaja praised Bashorun Awosanya for what he described as his selfless contributions and support for the party. He prayed for longevity, sound health and continued strength for him to remain a source of support to the party and its members.

In the same spirit of supporting grassroots mobilisation, Bashorun Awosanya also donated a sound speaker system to APC Ward 2, his ward, to enhance communication and coordination during ward meetings and activities.

He further pledged ₦500,000 for every Ward 2 meeting as an empowerment package for members of the ward, reaffirming his resolve to support the grassroots and improve the welfare and participation of party members within the ward.

The event ended with prayers for Bashorun Awosanya, the APC leadership and all party members, as well as renewed commitment and confidence towards securing victory for all APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.

SAGAMU YOUTH ASSOCIATION CALLS FOR RESPONSIBLE MEDIA PRACTICE

Our attention have been drawn to the disturbing rise of irresponsible, sensational and disparaging narratives about Sagamu across social media platforms like tiktok.

We are deeply concerned that, in the desperate pursuit of likes and comments, some individuals have resorted to portraying Sagamu in an unnecessarily negative light, making reckless statements, spreading unverified claims and deliberately amplifying narratives capable of damaging the reputation of our community.

For generations, Sagamu has remained a welcoming and accommodating community, providing a home, opportunities and peaceful coexistence for people from different ethnic groups, states and backgrounds. Our history is one that should inspire pride, not one to be casually dragged through the mud for social-media engagement.

We therefore urge content creators, influencers, and all residents of Sagamu to exercise greater responsibility, restraint and patriotism in the way they speak about our community.

Freedom of expression is a fundamental right, but it comes with responsibility. Constructive criticism, legitimate complaints and calls for accountability are welcome and necessary in any progressive society. However, deliberate falsehood, defamatory publications, malicious allegations, incitement and the reckless dissemination of unverified information should never be disguised as content creation.

A few thousand views are not worth compromising the dignity, peace and reputation of an entire community.

It is important to state that defamatory or slanderous publications can have legal consequences where they meet the elements required under applicable Nigerian law. Persons who knowingly publish false and damaging allegations against individuals or entities may expose themselves to legal action. We therefore encourage everyone to verify information before publication and to seek appropriate channels for resolving genuine grievances.

The Sagamu Youth Association will continue to advocate for responsible communication, factual reporting, peaceful engagement and the protection of Sagamu's reputation.

To every son and daughter of Sagamu, and to everyone who calls Sagamu home, let us be intentional about the story we tell about our community.

If there is a problem, let us speak about it truthfully.
If there is injustice, let us demand accountability.
If there is a challenge, let us seek solutions.
But let us never deliberately destroy the image of our own home simply because negativity attracts engagement.

You cannot continually set fire to your own home and complain that the neighbourhood is smoky.

Sagamu deserves better.

The time has come to draw a clear line between responsible advocacy and reckless sensationalism.

Let us build a media space that promotes Sagamu, encourages development and preserves the dignity of our people.

Sagamu is our Jerusalem. Let us speak about it with truth, responsibility and pride.

Comr. Popoola Abdullahi Olakunle

SYA Stakeholders Forum Demands Immediate Reversal of Comrade Bashiru Ahmed's Suspension, Threatens Constitutional Action

Sagamu, Ogun State – August 26, 2026

The Stakeholders Forum of the Sagamu Youth Association (SYA) has formally demanded the immediate reversal of the six-month suspension of Comrade Bashiru Ahmed (also known as Labash), effective August 25, 2026, citing serious constitutional breaches in the disciplinary process and warning that failure to comply within twenty-four hours would trigger formal engagement with the Association's Board of Trustees and other constitutional organs.

In a statement signed by Chairman Aremu Adekunle Ashaye, the Forum expressed grave concern over the procedure through which the suspension of Comrade Bashiru Ahmed, popularly known as Labash, was imposed and subsequently made public, emphasising that while the Forum does not condone any act of misconduct, breach of confidentiality or any conduct capable of undermining the integrity of the Association, accountability itself must operate strictly within the framework of the SYA Constitution, which remains the supreme guiding document of the Association and must be followed in all disciplinary matters.

The Stakeholders Forum has directed the Executive Council to reverse the announced suspension of Comrade Bashiru Ahmed (Labash) immediately and, in any event, within twenty-four hours of the notice, pending the commencement of the proper constitutional disciplinary procedure, and to subject the matter to the appropriate disciplinary procedure prescribed by the SYA Constitution. The Forum further requested that the Executive Council clearly identify the constitutional provision under which the suspension was imposed and the authority of the purported Executive Disciplinary Committee, ensure that the affected member is allowed to know the allegations against him and respond to them in accordance with the principles of natural justice and the Constitution, and ensure that the appropriate organ of the Association takes any disciplinary decision following the required meeting, quorum, voting and approval procedures stipulated by the Constitution. The Forum also urged caution about publishing internal disciplinary matters in the public domain, particularly where the prescribed internal procedures have not been demonstrated to have been exhausted.

The Forum made it clear that its intervention is not an attempt to shield Comrade Bashiru Ahmed (Labash) from accountability but rather a demand that no executive member, committee or organ of the Association should exercise powers beyond those granted to it by the Constitution, and accordingly warned that if the Executive Council fails to reverse the suspension within the stated twenty-four-hour period and fails to subject the matter to the constitutionally prescribed procedure, the Stakeholder Forum will have no hesitation in invoking the appropriate provisions of the SYA Constitution, including formally engaging the Board of Trustees and any other appropriate constitutional organ or Stakeholders forum with jurisdiction over the matter so that the issue can be addressed in accordance with the governing rules of the Association.

The Forum expressed strong belief that the matter can and should be resolved internally, peacefully and constitutionally, and called on the Executive Council to put the interest, unity and credibility of the Sagamu Youth Association above individual disagreements, stressing that the Constitution must be respected by everyone regardless of position. The Forum noted that if Comrade Bashiru Ahmed (Labash) is found after due process to have committed an offence under the Constitution or Code of Conduct, the appropriate sanction should be imposed in accordance with the prescribed procedure, but until that process is properly followed, the suspension should not be allowed to stand. The Stakeholders Forum therefore urged the Executive Council to act within the twenty-four-hour period and restore the matter to the proper constitutional process, reaffirming that the Sagamu Youth Association belongs to its members and its Constitution must remain the foundation of its administration, discipline and unity.
