2027: EJIGBO PEOPLE’S VANGUARD OPPOSES BS REELECTION BID IN EDE FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY

An Osun based political movement, Ejigbo People’s Vanguard has opposed the third term reelection bid of the member, House of Representatives from Ede Federal Constituency, Hon. Bamidele Salam.

This was contained in a statement made available to Nigerian Platform in Osogbo on Thursday.

In a statement titled “Rebuttal: Ejigbo has not endorsed a third-term bid” signed by the Director General (DG) of the movement, Adewale Alabi Arogundade, EPV insisted that the ancient town of Ejigbo must produce the next member, House of Representatives from Ede Federal Constituency.

According to the release, “our attention has been drawn to reports in the media where Hon. Bamidele Salam, the member representing Ede Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, alongside Hon. Jimi Asagade, member representing Ejigbo State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, allegedly claimed that stakeholders in Ejigbo Local Government have endorsed Hon. Bamidele Salam for a third-term bid”.

“We wish to state clearly and unequivocally that this claim is false, misleading, and does not reflect the true mood of the people of Ejigbo”.

“Ejigbo is an ancient and politically conscious town, and the people have not at any time endorsed any individual for a third term in the House of Representatives. Any attempt to portray such a position is a deliberate misrepresentation of the collective will of our people”.

“The reality on ground is that Ejigbo people are united and resolute in their demand that it is now the turn of Ejigbo to produce the member representing Ede Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives. This aspiration is widely supported by the foremost leaders, stakeholders, and the generality of the people of the town”.

“We therefore warn Hon. Jimi Asagade to desist from making statements or engaging in actions that falsely portray the position of Ejigbo people. No individual has the authority to mortgage the collective interest and aspiration of an entire town.
We also urge Hon. Bamidele Salam to avoid actions capable of creating unnecessary political tension in the constituency through an inordinate third-term ambition. Democracy thrives on fairness, equity, and respect for the wishes of the people”.

“If Hon. Bamidele Salam believes he still enjoys the support of the people for a third term, he should subject his ambition to the democratic process and test his popularity rather than relying on manufactured endorsements”.

“Let it be clearly stated that the people of Ejigbo remain firm, united, and unwavering in their support for Ejigbo to produce the next representative for Ede Federal Constituency.
No amount of political maneuvering or misrepresentation will change this legitimate and widely supported aspiration”.

“Ejigbo has spoken, and the message is clear: Ejigbo lokan”, the statement concluded.

OSUN 2026: CHRISTIAN CLERIC PREDICTS VICTORY FOR ADELEKE

…WARNS TINUBU, APC NOT TO TAMPER WITH OSUN GUBER POLLS

A Christian cleric, Prophet Solomon Eniola-Oni has declared that Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord (A) will win the August 15 gorvernorship election in Osun State.

Also, the cleric warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) not to tamper with the forthcoming gorvernorship election in Osun State.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had fixed Saturday, 15th August, 2026 for the gorvernorship election in the state.

Already, three candidates appear to be fully prepared for the election, even as the candidates have continued to intensify efforts on strategies to win the election.

The candidates are the incumbent Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke who is contesting under the platform of the Accord (A), the former Commissioner for Finance, Mr Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Rt Hon Najeem Folasayo Salaam who is contesting under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The three main contestants have boasted to be in control of the state, claiming that they all have the support of the masses of the state and boasted to win the gubernatorial poll.

But the cleric declared that Governor Adeleke would win the election and warned against external influence in the conduct of the poll.

Eniola-Oni who had made many predictions and prophecies in the past said the Accord would win convincingly in 18 out of the 30 Local Government Areas of the state.

However, he predicted that Governor Adeleke would join the APC shortly after he wins the gorvernorship election, saying that the Governor, will by that time be received in the APC.

Also, he revealed that he saw Governor Adeleke in the presidency, though he did not disclose the capacity in which he will serve in the presidency.

Prophet Eniola-Oni who is known for the accuracy of his prophecies also informed that the famous music exponent, David Adeleke popularly called Davido will soon contest and win the House of Representatives election for Ede South/Ede North/Ejigbo/Egbedore federal constituency of Osun State.

Although, he did not give any specific date when the popular musician will become a member of the House of Representatives, the renowned cleric who spoke at a virtual press conference with selected journalists disclosed that “David Adeleke will soon become a member of the House of Representatives.”

He informed that he went before the Lord in prayers and supplication with fasting after which the spirit of the Lord revealed to him that Adeleke will win the election despite series of challenges that will confront him ahead of the polls.

The cleric who claimed to be an adopted son of the late veteran teacher and politician, Chief Emmanuel Alayande, hinted that the late Alayande gave him some important messages to deliver to President Tinubu.

He said “I had the very rare privilege of being close to Baba Alayande and he told me many things before he died. He said aside my humble self, he never revealed those things to other people and directed me to look for Tinubu and inform him those things. At that time Tinubu wasn’t the President of Nigeria”.
