Oyebanji Punishing Citizens with Increasing Hardships Amidst Road Crisis – Ekiti PDP
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, led by architect Sodiq Obanoyen, emphasizes how disturbed she is by the All Progressive Congress’s (APC) seeming apathy to the terrible state of Ekiti’s roads. We argue that the current administration’s delay amounts to penalizing the people of Ekiti with rising hardships because of the terrible condition of the roads. The situation on the Ado-Ilawe roads, where both the government and responsible contractors appear to be carelessly putting road users at unnecessary inconvenience and risk, serves as an example of our worries.
This was made known in a statement signed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) CTC Publicity Secretary, Ekiti State, Aare Amerijoye DOT.B., on Tuesday.
The statement read thus:
“The ongoing plight of the road users has garnered the sympathy of the PDP in Ekiti State, particularly for residents of Irewolede Estate, Aba Iya Medi, and those living along the Delight area, Ilawe Road. These citizens have been voicing their complaints about the poor condition of the roads that connect their areas. These individuals nostalgically recall the proactive measures that previous PDP leadership would have taken under similar circumstances, expressing that the current conditions are worse than ever and that accidents are becoming increasingly commonplace since the contractors began their work.
“Our concerns about all the roads in Ekiti which are in deplorable conditions, extend beyond safety, to the daily wear and tear on the vehicles of Ekiti people due to the poor road conditions. Residents in Ekiti express their initial optimism when they saw contractors and government officials moving around on these roads, hoping for improvements. However, the situation of Ekiti State roads has only worsened, forcing drivers to replace tyres and even entire car parts as a result of frequent road damage. We are suggesting to the governor on behalf of the Ekiti people to take urgent action to rectify the situation.
“Finally, the PDP in Ekiti State is urgently calling on the government to prioritise the essential needs of the people over political maneuvering. We urge the governor to focus on matters of fundamental importance that directly affect the lives of Ekiti’s people, rather than engaging in populist tactics that may temporarily entertain but fail to serve as a substantial indicator of good governance. Ekiti PDP promise to bring about the much-needed development to Ekiti and her people, akin to nurturing soil for growth, when we regain leadership in the State, and we offer our empathy and sympathy to those impacted by the current unsatisfactory leadership in the State.”
Nigerians dominated the list of Africa’s Most Talked About People of 2024 by Top Charts Africa.
Nigerians occupied 18 spots in the top 30 recently released via the chart body’s website.
Nigerian singer, Wizkid, is number one on the list. Wizkid has been on the trend table year-round following his renewed beef with Davido and the release of his new album, ‘Morayo.’
President William Ruto of Kenya took the number 2 spot.
Ruto made global headlines in June when thousands of Kenyans took to the streets in protest of legislation increasing taxes. Following the storming of the Kenyan Parliament, President William Ruto reportedly rejected the Bill on 28 June and signed into law the “Appropriations Bill 2024” to address the budget shortfall caused by the rejection.
Nigerian afrobeats singer, Davido is ranked at number 3. Davido year-long trend climaxed with his much-publicised wedding to his wife, Chioma, in June, tagged ‘Chivido 2024.’
Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu; President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote; former Prime minister of Kenya, Raila Odinga; controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Bobrisky; South African singer Tyla; Nigerian politician, Peter Obi, and South Adrian music star, Liema Pantsi, complete the top 10.

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has alleged that former President Muhammadu Buhari is part of a plot to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of 2027.
Primate Ayodele revealed that Buhari is being influenced by some Northern cabals who are determined to undermine Tinubu’s government.
He disclosed this during the release of his 95-page 2025 prophecies on Friday, December 20, 2024.
According to Primate Ayodele: “Former President Muhammadu Buhari is part of the plot to unseat President Tinubu in 2027. Although he is being dragged into it by Northern cabals, he will play a role. If Tinubu isn’t on alert, he will be shocked by those who would stand against him in 2027.”
Additionally, Primate Ayodele stated that opposition parties in Nigeria are not serious and have not demonstrated readiness to take the presidential seat in the country.
“Opposition parties are not yet ready to win elections in Nigeria. They are a bunch of unserious people who only want to make personal gains. If they are serious about winning in 2027, they need to form one strong coalition; otherwise, it will remain just a dream.”
Speaking further, Primate Ayodele noted that the former governor of Osun, Rauf Aregbesola, will make a major move in the state’s politics and that his movement could evolve into a political party.
“I still maintain that Rauf Aregbesola is a significant factor in Osun State politics. His movement will transform into a kind of political party. If the APC wants to win the state, they should work with Aregbesola; otherwise, they will fail,” he added.
The founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, SPAC Nation, Tobi Adegboyega, has claimed that he will be more influential in Nigeria than in the UK.
His remarks follow the UK immigration upper tribunal’s approval of his deportation due to an alleged £1.87 million fraud charge.
Despite the ruling, Adegboyega vehemently denied the fraud allegations, calling them baseless and unsubstantiated.
In a preview of an upcoming Off The Record podcast episode, when asked if SPAC Nation was the only church facing such accusations, he emphasized the church’s success in the UK and Europe.
“We are the largest independent church in the UK and Europe right now,” he claimed.
He added, “If I am in Nigeria, I will be bigger than this, 10x maybe. If I am in Paris, I will be happier. It’s holiday for me. London will miss me, so you better tell them, we still need this guy, nobody is close to us entertaining us.”
