HOW DR. ATEGBOLE RESCUED “MASSES FOR AIYEDATIWA” FROM SHAME IN 2024 – AND WHY BOBAGUNWA 2027 IS A DONE DEAL : Dr. Akeredolu O. N.

Image
When the political atmosphere in Ondo State darkened in 2024, during the turbulence of power struggles between the late Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s cabals and then-Deputy Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, a group of over 240 associations united under one banner: The Masses for Aiyedatiwa. The mission was simple but daring — to resist illegality, safeguard democracy, and enthrone a masses-oriented governor who would prioritize the people above cabals. The group launched a fundraising event at the prestigious Dome in Akure, with the ambitious target of raising ₦100 million. The funds were meant to cover Governor Aiyedatiwa’s nomination form, mass media campaigns, and community charity projects. But instead of encouragement, what followed was sabotage. Rival groups ensured most invited dignitaries boycotted the event. The hall that should have been filled with support was thinned by betrayal. The morale of the Masses for Aiyedatiwa wa...

Auto Return Tickets: A Threat to Democracy and APC’s Electoral Strength In the last political cycle, Dr. Ategbole’s experience served as a painful reminder of how internal party injustice can undermine democracy. After being unjustly denied victory in the primaries, he approached the courts for redress. Yet, at the intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR—then National Leader of the APC—he was urged to withdraw the lawsuit in the interest of party unity. That sacrifice was made in loyalty to the party and in hope that fairness would reign in subsequent elections. Today, as we approach another round of primaries, the same critical question arises: Will our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), uphold its progressive ideals of fairness, or will it fall into the trap of imposition and auto return tickets for non-performing legislators? The very foundation of democracy is the right of the people to choose their representatives. Anything short of that is an insult...
