Ondo Massacre Killing: Omoluabi Team Alliance Speaks Up.

Gruesome Killing of Innocent Christan Worshippers Condemnable and Unacceptable in Totality: Omoluabi Team Alliance Speaks Up.

 

We received with shock the news of the gruesome killing of Christian worshippers who are congregation members of the St. Francis Catholic Church located in the ancient town of Owo today Sunday 5th of June, 2022. It is an act of evil that should be condemned by all while perpetrators of the evil act be traced and made to face the law. 

Omoluabi Team Alliance observed that the lives of Nigerians are seriously exposed to danger on a daily basis as innocent and  law abiding citizens are no longer safe in their places of abodes, farms, schools, roads, villages, mosques, churches and in  other  public gatherings. The attack on Owo church is totally condemnable, unacceptable and highly satanic in totality. Perpetrators of such killings should know that there is no hiding place for them in the southwestern part of Nigeria while efforts at curbing their nefarious activities will be achieved sooner than they think.

 

However,  it becomes  pertinent to advise government at all levels to wake up to their responsibilities of protecting lives and properties. Omoluabi Team Alliance  advise on the need  for government and private institutions to rejig the security architecture of their domains,  train security personnels  and also fortify available state and neighborhood security outfits to be able to combat the challenges of incessant  cases of mass killing  kidnapping and other crimes that are now fast becoming a norm in a sane society.

We as a foremost socio- cultural and political group who seeks first the peace, unity and  safety of territories within the southwestern states, deem it pertinent to  hereby send our condolences to the Government and Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Odunayo Akeredolu who is noted for  his display of gallantry on crucial national matters, the Olowo of Owo Kingdom, Oba Ogunoye and the entire peace loving people of Owo town  home and abroad. We pray from our hearts for the families of the deceased that God grant them the  fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

Dark moments indeed.

E- Signed

2023 Presidential Election: An Appeal to Jokers and Gamblers As APC Prepares for the Big Issue

The time draws nigh when the ruling APC makes a choice of who becomes the party' s Presidential flagbearer. It promises to be a moment when all progressives will keep sleepless nights to hear the good news as a breaking news indeed. The moments when delegates will match into the arena to choose just one of the aspirants who is considered the best for the country for another 8 years. However, it is going to be a moment of mixed feelings. A winner(just one) and others(losers) who are expected to take whatever becomes the result and forge ahead in the spirit of sportsmanship. 

In all of these, it is important to sermonize to the conscience and minds of all aspirants from the southwest block  who probably are not aware that the forthcoming APC primaries is a BIG ISSUE not just to the party but to Nigerians who can't wait to see a change of batton at the Eagle square come May 29, 2023. At this junction, there is a common interest and an agenda that must be jealousy guided by all concerned stakeholders. I once reiterated in an article that all Southwest Presidential aspirants on the platform of the APC must agree to consensus. It is now out of place to talk consensus but to rather solicit for a ' step down'  from petty aspirants who are only out to jeopardize an agenda.  No doubt there are jokers and gamblers who don't realize that we are now facing a big issue that must be overcomed. An agent of conspiracy that propheses himself as PDP during the day but APC at night is trying to infiltrate a house he knows no background information about its foundation. That personality alone poses a great threat to the common interest of the entire southerners as he is seen to be foolishly playing a dirty game whose consequences will be a bitter story for him to tell. However, let us believe it is a rumour. Jokers, gamblers and even political toddlers who are still pushing before the day should be prepared to  voluntarily handover their resources,  delegates,political arsenals and machineries to the most promising aspirant,  who posses the qualities, stamina, physique, intellectual acumen, exposure, very good knowledge of economy, who can tackle insecurity using latest technology and above all has the popularity to weather the storm whose side by side with the PDP  presidential candidate, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku come February, 2023. 

The interest of the southwest at this stage must be a priority and must be considered non- negotiable. To achieve this, Southwest elders and men who can appeal to these individuals should rise up to the situation now before it is too late. Our royal fathers should not be silent in all of this to save the Southwest from any show of shame caused by a divided house of aspirants at the APC primaries.

As a concerned progressive, I  want to put on record a clarion call on the likes of Vice President  Yemi Osibajo,  Dr. John Kayode Fayemi, Prof. Robert Ajayi  Borrofice and  Senator Ibikunle Amosun to reconsider their chances and step down for a National Leader and the Party's  National Leader who has the weapon to coast home a total victory for us. We want absolute win and not a gamble for a win at the expense of the happiness of a  million Nigerians who wants to get relieved so soon. Honestly, what shall be the lot and gain of a people who invested their intellectual prowress, finances, political strategies in forming a party that won a ruling party in 2015. If the region speaks in one voice the better chances we stand on the platform of the APC. Continuity will be achieved, re-engineering of the entire political, social and  economic system will be a task that must be done. If we allow the primary be a free for all, then we loose out and discard a golden opportunity that may not be easy to come by. 

Let the game changers bring in their tool and agent of conspiracy to the venue, it won't work if we parade a united house because the southwest is known to.have  played a vital role in the emergence of a strong opposition party who took over the centre stage in 2015.

On this note, dear highly respected southwest APC aspirants do the needful to bring home the victory to compensate for the efforts of  our heroes past who have toiled to keep this country together for the benefit of all.

It argued, that the  people have come to realize the importance of participating in the electoral process of selecting who leads the country and priority should be given to those who are registering for the very first time, those who want to transfer their permanent voters card and those who want to replace lost or damaged ones.

The paper read inter alia: It is worthy to note that voters are critical stakeholders in the electoral process and should be treated as such, more so, we are certain that extending  the deadline for voters registration would be entirely in consonance with constitutional and International standards and the electoral act of 2022 as well.

The league of the CSO's include; Executive Director of Speak Out Africa Initiative Kennet Eze, Habeeb Tajudeen Team lead Yvote Naija,Daisi Omokungbe Executive Director Promad foundation, Emeka Lekuwa and Team Lead, Civily. Others are Ebenizar Wikina, Founder Policy shapers,Ephraim Ekenwa Executive Director, Lead Africa and Omowumi Ogunrotimi, Executive Director, Gender Mobile Initiative.

It called on Inec to make use of the fact that it is independent and should therefore be impartial by treating citizens equally and fairly  as perception of the public matters in deepening of the country's democracy.
