Abiodun to Lift Ban on Kingmakers Five ruling houses in Ijebu-Ode have appealed to the Governor of Ogun State, His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, to lift the ban placed on the Afobajes (Kingmakers), describing the continued absence of a substantive Awujale as detrimental to peace, unity, and socio-economic development in Ijebu Land.

Ogun NAWOJ: My sin against NUJ Chairman was my refusal to be his puppet...Chairperson.

Ogun NAWOJ: My sin against NUJ Chairman was my refusal to be his puppet...Chairperson.  My attention has been drawn to a decision by the executive council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Ogun State, led by Comrade Wale Olanrewaju, to suspend me as the Chairperson of NAWOJ in the state and my Financial Secretary, Mrs Charity James, over an allegation of financial misconduct. Apart from the fact that the allegation is baseless, unfounded and blatant lie, the purported suspension is a smokescreen and a feeble attempt by the Comrade Olanrewaju to cover the financial frauds he principally engineered.

This statement is therefore issued to formally express my rejection of this constitutional anomaly cloaked in deliberate machination by the principal actor to mask the major roles he played in the so-calle...
