President Bola Tinubu By Seye Oladejo  The attempt by sections of the Nigerian opposition to pin the global cost-of-living crisis exclusively on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a classic case of political opportunism, intellectual dishonesty and the desperate search for a convenient scapegoat. It is akin to clutching at straws in the hope that public frustration can be converted into electoral capital. There is no denying that the rising cost of living has placed considerable pressure on households across Nigeria. Families are making difficult choices, businesses are battling increased operating costs, and millions of citizens are understandably anxious about their purchasing power.

Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat By Seye Oladejo  The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to declare that Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat represents a compelling combination of intellectual depth, administrative competence, political maturity and progressive conviction that Lagos needs as it prepares for its next chapter of development. In a political environment increasingly crowded by noise merchants, professional critics and merchants of empty promises, Hamzat stands out as a man whose credentials are rooted in professional preparation, practical governance experience and a demonstrable understanding of the complexities of public administration. There is a fascinating personal dimension to his story. The reported opportunity to meet Chief Obafemi Awolowo at the age of fourteen must have been a remarkable experience for a young mind encountering one of Nigeria’s most consequential statesmen. One can only imagine the impression such an encounter might have made on...
