Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and dedication of every worker whose daily efforts keep our society moving forward. From the markets to the offices, from the farms to the factories, your hard work is the backbone of our progress.
This day is not just for celebration, but also a reminder that every worker deserves dignity, fair wages, safe working conditions, and a government that truly listens and acts in their interest.
As we mark this year’s Workers’ Day, let us renew our commitment to building a future where labour is respected, rewarded, and protected. Together, we can create a system that values the sweat and sacrifice of our people.
To all workers, your labour is not in vain. Your strength is the engine of our growth.
#HappyWorkersDay

A New Year, A New Vision
As we welcome the New Year 2026, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the good people of Osun State. This is a season of unity and collective resolve, a time for us to reflect on our shared journey and recommit ourselves to building the Osun we all dream of.
I sincerely thank the people of our state for their resilience and faith despite the challenges we continue to face. I urge everyone to remain steadfast and optimistic.
The New Year 2026 presents us with a fresh opportunity to reflect, renew our commitments, and work together for the Osun of our dreams, an Osun that is prosperous, inclusive, and just for all.
I believe strongly in purposeful leadership, one that is anchored on transparency, people-oriented policies, and sustainable development. Osun State is richly blessed with both human and natural resources, and with proper governance, these resources can be harnessed to create real opportunities and lasting progress.
I call on our youths, women, professionals, artisans, and traditional institutions to actively participate in shaping the future of Osun. Governance is a collective responsibility, and our success depends on all of us working together.
As we approach the 2026 governorship election, I remain committed to offering visionary and compassionate leadership that prioritizes education, healthcare, job creation, security, and economic empowerment.
I pray that 2026 will be a year of peace, stability, and progress for our state, and I wish everyone a prosperous New Year.
Together, by the grace of God and the will of the people, Osun shall rise to greater heights.
Happy New Year
Rt. Hon. Najeem F Salaam

My dear people of Osun State,
I bring you warm Christmas greetings as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, a season that reminds us of love, sacrifice, and hope.
Christmas teaches us leadership through service, humility, and compassion. These values define our vision at the African Democratic Congress, a new politics rooted in integrity, accountability, and people centred governance.
As we look ahead, let us recommit ourselves to peace, unity, and collective progress. Together, we can build a State that works for all, where opportunities are fair, our youths are empowered, and our communities are safe.
On behalf of my family and the ADC, I wish you a joyful Christmas and a New Year filled with hope and prosperity.
May God bless you and bless Osun State.

A lot of you people don’t know how bad things are because you’re not in a position where people can come to you for assistance.
“Nigerians Are H¥ngry, and H¥ngry People Are Angry People. I feel the P+in too,” Comedian Seyi Law Says
Nigerian comedian, Seyi Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has spoken about the economic hardship confronting citizens, urging leaders to admit the reality of people’s s¥ffeing rather than gloss over it.
Speaking in an interview on Inside the Box, the comedian said fr¥stration among Nigerians is directly tied to hunger and the soaring cost of living.
“Nigerians are hungry and hungry people are angry people. I h+te when we try to switch such things under the carpet, which is what politicians do. I don’t like it. Let us acknowledge the people’s p+in and let them know that this reform is coming with this p+in but at the end of the day we will be happy,” Seyi Law said.
He explained that while he anticipated the government’s reforms would come with difficulties, he also shares in the burden. “I said something that my experience, my understanding does not invalidate your experience. It doesn’t. Did I know that those policies were going to come with p+in? I knew. I feel the pain too.”
Citing his own financial strain, Aletile noted how the depreciation of the naira has deepened expenses for his family. “My family has been in the UK since 2019. For every Naira that I change to pounds, it costs me N2000. It wasn’t what it was costing me before. It means if I was spending N2M before, I have to spend N5M, so it comes with p+in,” he said.
Seyi Law’s comments echo the frustration of millions of Nigerians grappling with the impact of recent economic policies, even as the government maintains that reforms will bring long-term relief.

In 2011, Nigeria’s political landscape was marked by intricate power dynamics, particularly during the presidential and legislative elections. Dimeji Bankole, a Yoruba from Ogun State, served as the Speaker, while David Mark, from Benue State, was the Senate President.

........who prioritized their long-term influence within the region over supporting Bankole, a prominent Yoruba figure and son of a well-known family. After Bankole’s loss, the PDP and JONATHAN zoned the Speaker position to the Southwest to maintain regional balance.

20+ years of loyalty.
Commissioner, Governor, & Minister.
But when he questioned imposition in Osun — They shot at him. Burned his image in a mock coffin. Expelled him four times. Supporters called him disloyal. They forgot who built half their structure.

Even the current Lagos governor isn’t safe. Reports in 2025 claimed he supported opposition figures. Cue betrayal accusations.
SAME OLD CHORUS.
