‘Amosun Vows to Malign, Scandalize and Blackmail Dapo Abiodun’ – Group alleges
A socio-political group, Ogun Progressive Agenda (OPA) has raised the alarm over what it described as “a sinister and grand plot to continue and sustain the campaign of calumny against the Governor of Ogun state, Prince Dapo Abiodun, by enemies of progress in Ogun state who are pained by the developmental stride of the Governor.”
In a statement issued in Abeokuta on Friday by the Patron of the group, Alhaji Rasheed Sanusi, it said it has uncovered “a plot by a notable politician, who lost out in the battle to install his stooge, got a bloody nose in the fight for the soul of the party and has refused to come to terms with the present realities.
“Now, the abrasive politician well known for rabble rousing, has recruited many hirelings and hangers-on who are hiding behind some faceless groups and organisations to concoct and spin lies against the hard-working Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state.
“While we want to use this opportunity to alert members of the public and the good people of Ogun state about this grand plot, we equally want to urge them to take the lies, fake stories and propaganda with a pinch of salt.
“In the same vein, we wish to warn the heady one behind this plot that as good citizens of the state, we will not fold our hands and watch the political shenanigans, machinations and distractions aimed at distracting a very focused Governor who ratings continue to swell by the day”.
“In the meantime, our advice to Mr. Governor and leader of our party in the state is that he should not be distracted. He should remain focused on his agenda for the growth and development of our dear state. His landmark and laudable works speak for him in various sectors of our beloved state. And that is why we are resolute in our support for continuity of the good works since the reward for a job well done is more work.”
“Based on intelligence reports, we have alerted the public recently on the evil plans of these renegade politicians who continue to see the achievements of the current Administration as pointers to the extinction of their relevance. Worse still, for them, their discerning principal followers are leaving their ruptured camp in droves having realised they have been fooled and lied to for so long.”
The group admonished politicians to appreciate the fact that to everything and everyone under the sun, there are times and seasons, and that politicians should not be desperate, but should rather accept that power belongs to God and he gives it to whoever He wants.
“As the good book says ‘the race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong…but time and chance happen to them all’,” the group concluded.

Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bill Doesn’t Discriminate Against The North -Shehu Sani
“The Tax reform Bill is not inimical to the North or any part of this country. Its in fact economically beneficial and fair to all parts. People should keep aside sentiments and read the Bill carefully. Its a comprehensive and bold move to harmonise and simplify tax administration and streamline it’s operations and enforcement.
“The Bill will actually generate and safeguard more revenue to the states. It will also combat the corruption in the so called tax waivers granted to business cabals. There is nowhere in the document where any region will be shortchanged or taxes will be increased or jobs will be lost.
“Northern Governors should rescind their decision to reject the Bill, take time to read it and make inputs where necessary. NASS must treat this important Bill with all seriousness. Just read the content of the Bill.” -Senator Shehu Sani
