Oba monarch tussle: Normalcy returns to Anambra community

Peace has returned to the Oba community in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, after a crisis, which emanated from the election of a new monarch.

DAILY POST had reported that shortly after Sir Augustine Chinedu Emelobe was announced the monarch-elect of the community, the commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Matters in the state, Hon TonyCollins Nwabunwanne faulted the exercise.

The election was to replace its demised monarch, Igwe PC Ezenwa.

However, a community leader later stated that the election followed due process of law and that Governor Soludo was never against the process as reported.

On Monday, the disputes were laid to rest following the installation of the new monarch, HRM Engr Sir Augustine Chinedu Emelobe.

The ceremony was performed by elders and kingmakers, led by the elder of Urueze, otherwise known as ‘Aka ji Ofo Oba’, and elders of the nine villages that make up the town.

They presented the Igwe-elect with a new Ọfọ Oba (the highest staff of authority and spirituality), symbolizing the community’s trust and confidence in his leadership.

The event, which took place at the ancient shrine of the community called Okuana Oba, was at Urueze, the eldest community of the town.

According to ancient traditions, the crown and ‘ofo’ are given to the king by the eldest community of the town.

After the traditional rites had been performed by the elders, the new King went straight to St Bethel Anglican Church, also at Urueze Oba, and dedicated his crown and leadership of the community to God.

Osun: Gov Adeleke denies allegations of secretly obtaining loans

The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has reacted to the allegations of secretly obtaining loans and the call by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state for accountability.

DAILY POST reported that the Osun APC challenged Governor Adeleke to disclose the true financial records of the state.

The party said such disclosure was in the interest of the state’s “suffering masses,” whose resources were allegedly siphoned for personal aggrandizement.

The party threw the challenge during an end-of-the-year press conference in Osogbo on Monday.

Addressing journalists, the APC Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, accused the state government of secretly signing and obtaining a combined foreign loan of $51 million, or N81.6 billion equivalent, using an exchange rate of N1,600 to 1 USD.

Olabisi maintained that the current administration is on the verge of putting the future of the state into a deep financial mess, hence the need for the people of the state to rise to the occasion and hold Adeleke accountable for financial recklessness.

According to the APC, the impression that Adeleke’s administration has not obtained any loans since inception is a lie, as part of the state’s 2024 budget is being financed from the NG-CARES facility.

Reacting to the allegations, the spokesperson for the governor, Olawale Rasheed, dismissed the APC’s claims.

Olawale categorically denied that Osun State had acquired foreign loans under NG-CARES.

“As a member of the executive council from the onset, I can affirm that no loan approval request has been made for any project.

“This is fake news, which the APC has continuously peddled. Osun people are discerning and educated—they know when their government is borrowing,” he said.

Ogun to construct Anthony Joshua Indoor Boxing Ring – Abiodun

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has announced plans by his administration to construct a brand new Anthony Joshua Indoor Boxing Ring in the state.

Governor Abiodun also announced that the two-time former world heavyweight boxing champion would be lighting the Gateway Games National Sports Festival torch, which has been postponed to May next year.

The Governor made this known on Monday when he hosted the two-time world heavyweight boxing champion in his office.

“I want to openly request that, besides the fact that today we are going to officially confirm you as our sports ambassador, we want to request that you come back to light up the Gateway Sports Festival torch; you will be the one lighting it up.

“We are going to construct a brand new Anthony Joshua Indoor Boxing Ring, and that boxing ring will be in a stadium here in Abeokuta to ensure that you come home more frequently. Besides the fact that you are now our official sports ambassador, we have decided that we will give you a brand new house in Sagamu,” he said.

The Governor urged Anthony Joshua to find ways of supporting the state in the area of sports development by working alongside the Director General of the National Sports Commission and the state Commissioner for Sports Development to host a boxing championship in the state.

“We want to plead that you also find ways to support us back home. We believe that we should have tournaments planned leading to the sports festival, and you were expressing how you will participate and what you can do to mentor.

“We leave you to work with our Director General of the National Sports Commission and the Commissioner for Sports Development on what we can do to ensure that we have activities leading to the sports festival in your boxing arena.

“Proudly, we bid for the National Sports Festival for this year, and we won that bid. The festival was supposed to be in January; however, for some technical reasons, it’s been postponed to sometime in May.

“In preparation for the sports festival, we are spending a lot of money; we are totally refurbishing, rehabilitating, and reconstructing our sporting facilities. As you know, sports is a universal language; it brings people from different parts of the world together,” he said.

The Governor noted that the state is blessed with many talents spread across music, arts, and sports who are doing very well and, at the same time, placing the state on the world map.

Prince Abiodun added that the state is extremely proud of the achievements of Anthony Joshua on the world stage, saying that his administration would support his career in every way it can.

“Your coming back home will be a source of motivation and inspiration for many young men who are aspiring sportsmen, and we have quite a lot of them in Ogun State.

“I want to congratulate you on what you have achieved in such a short span of time. You’ve made a short story of your life and your career.

“Whatever we can do to encourage you to continue to win more laurels for yourself, your family, for the state, and Nigeria, be assured that we will be more than happy to do that. We watch your career grow, and we are going to support your career in every way we can,” he said.

Earlier in his remarks, Anthony Joshua noted that he would work towards promoting Ogun State to the rest of the world by showcasing the numerous talents in the state.
