Yayi Retires To GAC

Yayi Gains Freedom From Alimosho G-18 Bondage


As the polity continues to heat up, its players continue to strategize for relevance and continuity. Before now, the senator representing Lagos West, Senator Solomon Adeola Olamilekan Yayi had been scampering for a ticket in the Senate to represent Lagos West for the third term - a feat which has been strongly resisted by residents of Lagos West in their quest for a new rep.

During the protest, the APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stylishly intervened urging the Yayi to shelve his third term ambition, with a promise to compensate him with another dignified offer. For fear of being let down, the Senator has been scouting for his third term ambition in Yewa, Ogun State. But Asiwaju, being a man of his words, who has never been known to renege on his words, fulfilled his promise yesterday, Tuesday, April 20, 2021 when Yayi, along with the two other Senators representing Lagos and the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, was appointed into the Governor's Advisory Council (GAC). Other persons appointed along with Senator Solomon Adeola Olamilekan Yayi,


are Senators Oluremi Tinubu (Lagos Central) and Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru (Lagos East), and Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila. This is an all-inclusive appointment as no Lagos Senator has been left out in the honourable appointment.

The GAC is the highest decision-making body of the Lagos All Progressives Congress. The apex group is chaired by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Going by the operations, responsibilities and structure of the group, Yayi might just have been sent to retirement chamber from elective politicking. Whichever way it goes, Asiwaju has fulfilled his promise of compensating Yayi with an honourable appointment in place of his pursuit for a third term ticket. Also, the appointment compensates the good people of Alimosho for the removal of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola from the Council.

In Asiwaju, there are several lessons to be learnt on how to handle complicated political situations.

Enilolobo; Captain Of A Sinking Ship

Enilolobo: Captain Of A Sinking Ship The attention of Alimosho Liberation Movement has been drawn to a nefarious publication from Alhaji Abdullahi Oluwole Enilolobo, a confessed liar, a rancourous element, a bitter and resentful noisemaker, comparing himself with the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. This time, their infantile and unwarranted attacks were targeted at the persons of the Speaker, Lagos House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, a lawyer, a foremost lawmaker, former Chairman of the Conference of Speakers in Nigeria among other enviable titles, for his lovers but intimidating to his foes, and Alhaji Abiodun Isola Ejigbadero, a scion of Ejigbadero dynasty, a realtor, a property Magnate and a loyal party man. Their latest swipe again, demonstrated an acute obsession with the propagation of falsehood, lies and alternative facts to get public attention and sympathy for Enilolobo's political doom. This political terrorist thinks he is somebody when he con...

  Where Are the Promised Votes? - Ejigbadero Reactions have continued to trail the ongoing collation exercise of presidential results in the just concluded general elections in Abuja, after seeing the tension and turn of events in the just concluded general elections.  While the development has sparked jubilation in some quarters, it has called for questioning in others - both parties and non-party members have expressed mixed concerns. With the current happenings, Lagos State appears to be one of the most hit states, alongside Osun, Gombe, Yobe, Katsina, Imo, and a host of others which are currently APC states but have lost to the PDP and the Labour Party. In the current scheme of events, Alimosho Local Government, which used to be described as Tinubu Country was also lost to the Labour Party, which polled over 57,000 votes against the All Progressives Congress which polled a bit over 52,000. According to a party chieftain, Alhaji Abiodun Ejigbadero, "this outcome of the pres...

Trip To Ibadan: Enilolobo, Council Chairmen Plot To Break Party, Remodel BATCO Mandate

Trip To Ibadan: Enilolobo, Council Chairmen Plot To Break Party, Remodel BATCO Mandate In our expectation for an issue-based defense, we repeatedly read the empty article proudly put up and signed by one Opeyemi Babatunde in defense of the shameful trip being sponsored by his principal, Hon. Sulaiman Jelili to and fro Ibadan in support of the Vice President's presidential ambition under the guise of a Progressive Youth Summit. It is disappointing that even after reading about five times, we still could not make a tangible point from the tripe. The above got us wondering if the entire hogwash was truly worth the 15 hours it took Opeyemi and his colleagues to come up with a response to our disclosure on their trip to Ibadan. While we maintain our stand that, like every other Nigerian, they have the sole right to support whoever they desire to follow, we would also want to advise them on the need to shun hypocrisy and double-dealing which we understand to be a ...
