Lagos, Nigeria – E be like say politics for Lagos don enter another level as the former governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Rhodes-Vivour, don join the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He make this announcement wey shock many on Saturday during one event wey happen for Lagos.
But wetin you go expect? Na the All Progressives Congress (APC) wey dey run tins for Lagos don seal the venue wey ADC wan use hold their meeting. Rhodes-Vivour come dey vex say, “E dey pain me well well say Lagos APC dey use government power anyhow, sealing place wey we don get approval to use.” (Looks like APC dey feel the heat! You fit hear the fear for their voice).
He no stop there o! The man go ahead to say this na clear way to cover mouth of opposition structure for Lagos. “E no go fit work, because Lagos na for all of us, no be only APC members.”
Meanwhile, we go just remember say the same APC no dey smile for another incident wey happen on August 30. Thugs wey carry cutlasses, clubs, and stones go scatter one ADC transition committee inauguration for Kaduna, injuring people and destroying property. As people dey fear, police dey try to recover the situation, but e be like say the wahala no go end anytime soon.
As if that one no be enough gist for Lagos, Peter Obi, the presidential candidate wey many people respect, don announce say him go rest small. Him catch small illness after him speak for one tourism event for Enugu. He make dis announcement for his social media page say, he go take two days to rest small.
Obi, who na former governor of Anambra state, also go hospital to take care of himself, and na there he spend N10 million to help good Hope Specialist Hospital wey dey Isulo. E no forget to drop say health care na very important investment. (E don turn philanthropist on top health matter, shey na election campaign again?).
For Osun state, Governor Ademola Adeleke don break internet with an appointment wey no too dey common. Na Oluwatosin Adejumo, wey dey sell puff-puff, him don turn chef for Government House. E no be joke! Adeleke promise her scholarship to Masters level if she wan continue her education. Na the level wey Nigerians dey go now, to hustle no go ever end.
As per security matters, we get story wey sweet but get heavy hearts for Edo state. Gunmen don abduct 18 passengers wey dey travel go Abuja on Friday. Wetin dey happen? Police talk say dem rescue 16 of dem, while dem still dey search for others. E be like say we go need to talk to our lawmakers about this insecurity wahala. (Why we no fit travel freely without fear? Na question for every Nigerian hero).
In another developing matter wey no dey too sweet, Alhassan Doguwa, the member wey represent Doguwa/Tudun Wada constituency don fire back at chairperson for Tudun Wada, Sa’adatu Salisu. Him accuse her of sponsoring attacks on APC members. But wetin you even expect from a democracy wey dey struggle?
