EKITI GOVERNMENT URGES RESIDENTS TO EXERCISE CAUTION AS HEAVY RAINS CONTINUE, SYMPATHISES WITH FLOOD VICTIMS.

EKITI GOVERNMENT URGES RESIDENTS TO EXERCISE CAUTION AS HEAVY RAINS CONTINUE, SYMPATHISES WITH FLOOD VICTIMS.

The Ekiti State Government has again urged residents and travellers across the State to exercise extreme caution as heavy rainfall continues to trigger flooding in some parts of the State.

The advisory followed heavy rainfall experienced in Ado-Ekiti and other parts of the State in recent days, which resulted in flooding in some locations and affected properties, businesses and means of livelihood.

The State Commissioner for Information, Rt. Hon. Taiwo Olatunbosun, in a statement made available to the press, expressed the Government’s heartfelt sympathy to residents whose properties, businesses and livelihoods were affected by the flooding.

Olatunbosun stressed that the Government had not been unaware of the possibility of intense rainfall, noting that it had, ahead of the latest incident, commenced sustained public sensitisation on the impending heavy rains as predicted by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), urging residents to exercise caution and take necessary safety measures.

He said the sensitisation was aimed at ensuring that residents remained alert to weather forecasts, avoided vulnerable areas and took appropriate precautions whenever heavy rainfall occurred.

The Commissioner also disclosed that, in response to concerns arising from the flooding, he had directly addressed residents protesting around the Pathfinder/Aayemi Garrage area along the Iworoko Road, where flooding had generated significant concerns among residents and road users.

He added that he also appeared on a simulcast programme to further explain the situation, the Government’s interventions and the precautionary measures expected of residents.

While acknowledging the concerns arising from the flooding, Olatunbosun urged residents to remain calm, exercise caution and cooperate with relevant authorities as efforts continue to address the situation and minimise further risks.

He noted that flooding associated with intense rainfall was not peculiar to Ekiti State, as similar incidents had been reported in parts of Akure, Osun, Oyo, Lagos and Delta States, as well as in other parts of the world, underscoring the increasingly unpredictable nature of extreme weather events.

The Commissioner said the warnings contained in weather forecasts by NiMet underscored the need for heightened vigilance and strict adherence to safety measures during periods of heavy rainfall.

He assured residents that the Ekiti State Government, under the leadership of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, had continued to implement measures aimed at mitigating flooding and protecting lives and property.

He highlighted some of the Government’s interventions to include extensive dredging of waterways, desilting of drainage channels, removal of blockages, public sensitisation and collaboration among relevant agencies to improve environmental management and enforce development control.

According to him, the State Government has expended over ₦1.18 billion between 2023 and 2026 on flood-control interventions, including the rehabilitation of waterways and drainage infrastructure across the State.

He said the investments formed part of the Government’s broader commitment to addressing environmental challenges and strengthening the State’s capacity to respond to emergencies.

Olatunbosun acknowledged that the intensity of rainfall, rapid movement of stormwater and other environmental factors could trigger sudden flooding in vulnerable areas despite ongoing preventive measures.

He, however, stressed that the situation required continued vigilance, responsible conduct and collective action by the State Government, communities and residents, whom he described as critical stakeholders in flood prevention and management.

The Commissioner particularly advised residents to avoid walking, riding motorcycles or driving through flooded roads, bridges, streams and other water channels, irrespective of the apparent depth of the water.

He also cautioned parents and guardians to keep children away from flooded drainage channels, riverbanks and other areas exposed to fast-moving water.

Olatunbosun further emphasised the importance of seeking shelter in safe and elevated locations during heavy rainfall and warned against attempting to cross flooded routes.

Urging residents to maintain proper environmental sanitation, he stressed the need to refrain from dumping refuse into gutters, culverts and drainage channels, noting that indiscriminate waste disposal could obstruct the free flow of water and worsen flooding.

He advised residents to promptly report blocked drains, rising water levels and other environmental hazards to the relevant authorities.

The Commissioner also urged residents to comply with official safety advisories and evacuation instructions, particularly in flood-prone communities.

He stressed the need to avoid erecting structures on waterways, drainage setbacks and flood-prone areas, while calling for greater cooperation with government agencies responsible for environmental protection and physical planning.

Olatunbosun called on community leaders, landlords, market associations, transport operators and other stakeholders to support public safety efforts by disseminating flood warnings and discouraging activities that obstruct drainage systems.

Reaffirming the Government’s commitment to the welfare and safety of residents, the Commissioner said relevant agencies would continue to respond to the situation and strengthen measures to mitigate flooding across the State.

He urged residents to remain calm, avoid panic and refrain from relying on unverified reports, advising them to obtain information from official government channels and promptly report emergencies to the appropriate authorities.

“The Government appeals for the understanding and cooperation of all residents as the State continues to address the effects of the heavy rainfall and safeguard lives and property,” he said.

Adhere to Strategic, Safety Information to Mitigate Rainy Season Disasters - Ekiti Govt Urges Residents.

Adhere to Strategic, Safety Information to Mitigate Rainy Season Disasters - Ekiti Govt Urges Residents.

 

Ekiti State government on Tuesday urged residents of the state to take collective collective responsibility by adhering to strategic, technical and safety information that would help reduce the impact of flooding and protect vulnerable communities. 

The Commissioner of Information, Taiwo Olatunbosun said this in Ado-Ekiti during the interactive S'etigbo multicast anchored by the Bureau of Community Communications. 

He appealed to residents to remain calm in the wake of the recurring flooding in some parts of the state, promising immediate interventions of Governor Biodun Oyebanji's led administration to ameliorate the situation.

His words: "From the inception of the administration, we set-up a committee to look into the affected flood areas and local governments and the committee came up with reports of some local governments that are well affected. 

"The governor swung into action immediately, put money in all the necessary agencies ahead of the rainy season then and that was about four years ago. We started with excavation of all the waterways across the state. 

"Before now, we have not witnessed very serious erosion, particularly along Iworoko, Poly, Ilawe roads, among others. The activities of the various agencies are on and presently they are working all around Ekiti and most places we all know to be prone to flooding. 

"I know people can say confidently that the present administration has done much but no matter what we have done, the truth is that we have witnessed another flood that has affected the lives of one or two people which is very unfortunate."

According to the commissioner, the state government had embarked on several strategic projects and interventions following a forecast by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, which listed Ekiti as one of the states likely to experience above-normal flooding this year.

"We are not unaware of this because sometimes early in the year, NiMet predicted that there would be heavy rainfall around this time, particularly in Ekiti and other states. What the government did was to intensify more efforts to ensure that we do not witness any heavy rainfall that will obstruct the movement of people not to even affect their lives.

"I want to appeal to the people that as much as the government is working, we want them to know that they should always heed to the strategic, technical and safety information from government and all our media platforms, particularly townships sensitisation and communications from appropriate agencies that is in charge of the climate and environment.

"We are deeply sorry that it has happened again. Maybe because of the impunity of our people and their willingness to dare. I think it is high time we heed to advice when it is given."

A Personal Encounter That Left An Impression: Why IBO Deserves Another Opportunity to Serve.

A Personal Encounter That Left An Impression: Why IBO Deserves Another Opportunity to Serve.

By Adekunle Oke (Ajimugege

There is a popular saying that one good term deserves another. In Nigeria's unpredictable political landscape, however, a good performance does not always guarantee an immediate return to office. Political calculations, party dynamics and circumstances beyond an individual's control can sometimes alter the course of a political journey.

Yet, there is something that politics cannot permanently take away from a public servant: the record of what he has achieved and the lives he has touched.

That, in my view, aptly captures the story of Hon. Ibrahim Kunle Olanrewaju, popularly known as IBO, who represented the people of Ekiti North Federal Constituency II (Ido/Osi, Moba and Ilejemeje LGAs) in the House of Representatives during the 9th Assembly.

His journey is a compelling reminder that political setbacks may delay an opportunity, but they do not necessarily erase a record of service.

My first and only personal encounter with Hon. Ibrahim Olanrewaju was not in a political meeting, campaign rally or party gathering. It was during an official assignment in February 2021; after which I further concurred that truly first impression last longer and in most cases may be a letter of recommendation.

On Thursday, 18th February, 2021, at about 8:23 a.m., I was among the team from the Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido-Ekiti (FETHI), assigned to receive a brand-new ambulance donated to the hospital by Hon. Olanrewaju at Otun-Ekiti.

My assignment was straightforward: accompany my then boss, the late Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Mr Francis Bank-Akinnuoye, document the presentation photographically and prepare a news story in form of photonews. 

But sometimes, an ordinary professional assignment becomes an opportunity to observe something much deeper. When we arrived at Otun-Ekiti and met Hon. Ibrahim at a hotel, I was immediately struck by his humility, accessibility and manner of relating with people around him.

As someone who has had the privilege of working around politicians and public officials, I have seen different expressions of leadership. Some command attention through their position; others earn respect through their conduct.

Hon. Ibrahim's disposition reminded me strongly of my political leader, Hon. Segun Adekola, PhD, who represented Ekiti South Federal Constituency I and served as Chairman of the House Committee on Youth and Sports Development during the 8th Assembly.

The resemblance, to me, was not necessarily in personality but in the understanding that effective representation requires more than occupying a seat in the National Assembly. It requires strategic thinking, accessibility, relationship-building and, most importantly, a genuine connection with the people, I mean those at the grassroots.

What happened next was beyond my original assignment. It was indeed a scenario of professional curiosity becoming a political journalism. We proceeded to the palace of the Oore of Moba Kingdom, where I witnessed the scale of an empowerment programme organised by Hon. Ibrahim. I was marveled! In Yoruba parlance, "A i rin jina, la o r'abuke okere 😂."

I had gone there simply to photograph the ambulance presentation and prepare a short news report for my organisation. But what I saw triggered the journalist and political communicator in me. There were numerous empowerment items in different categories, sizes, brands and forms, alongside other activities designed to impact beneficiaries across the constituency. In actual fact, "empowerment ju empowerment lo." Nobody in that 9th Assembly did same, during or after.

I was neither Hon. Ibrahim's media aide nor a hired photographer. I had no contractual responsibility to document the programme. But as a journalist and public relations practitioner, I understood the significance of what I was witnessing and what it could be used for in the nearest future.

I began documenting the activities extensively; not because I was instructed to do so by my boss, but because I believed the story deserved to be preserved. From road commissioning to the distribution of empowerment materials and interactions with beneficiaries, I followed the programme and captured as much as I could without being noticed by anybody.

I eventually edited the video, compiled photographs and sent a copy to Hon. Ibrahim through one of his boys I met on Facebook and that was the end. Just as the spirit leads: "Bi emi ba se dari wa lawa se n s'ise 🤣." 

Looking back today, I realise that what I documented that day was more than an event. It was a snapshot of a political philosophy: that public office should translate into tangible benefits for the people.

Beyond political promises, the value of impact made should also matter. Political leadership should not be measured merely by the number of speeches delivered, banners printed or rallies attended. Its true measure is found in the lives touched. It is in the entrepreneur who receives support to expand a small business.

It is in the young person who acquires a skill and gains the confidence to become economically independent. It is in the communities that receive infrastructures. It is in the patient who benefits from improved healthcare support, just like the ambulance he donated to FETHI. It is in the family whose burden is reduced because a representative chose to intervene. These are the kinds of outcomes that give meaning to the phrase dividends of democracy.

From my panoramic observations and the activities I witnessed that day and beyond, Hon. Ibrahim's tenure was characterised by an effort to connect representation with tangible interventions. For many beneficiaries, such interventions were not simply political gestures. They represented opportunities, relief and renewed hope. That is why political performance should be evaluated through evidence, impact, accountability and the experiences of the people, rather than through political noise.

However, when the setback came while vying for reelection, no one knew it would later lead to a new beginning as it is today. "Iba re, Olorun Aseda!" Politics can be unpredictable. Despite the performance attributed to his tenure and the support he enjoyed among sections of his constituents, Hon. Ibrahim did not immediately return to the House of Representatives after his first term. Either being denied ticket or party supremacy prevailed over his ambition and interest, it has come and gone. 

He could have allowed disappointment to define his political journey. He could have become bitter. He could have abandoned the political structure that had given him an opportunity to serve. Instead, he moved forward. He remains a dedicated party man.

His subsequent appointment as Senior Special Assistant to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on National Assembly Matters demonstrated that political relevance is not always determined by whether one occupies an elected position at a particular moment.

Sometimes, service takes a different route. Sometimes, the door that closes today leads to another door tomorrow. And sometimes, a political setback becomes the foundation for a greater opportunity.

The most remarkable lesson in Hon. Ibrahim's political journey is that the work he did in public office did not disappear when the office ended. The record speaks for him till date, as you can see the attached photos and video evidences.

His experiences, relationships, political loyalty and record of service continued to shape his journey. That is why his emergence again as a candidate for the National Assembly is significant. It provides an opportunity for the people of Ekiti North Federal Constituency II to look beyond campaign rhetoric and ask a fundamental question: What did our representative do with the opportunity to serve?That is the question voters should ask of every politician and not how loud the campaign is.

Not how expensive the posters are. Not how many people attend a rally. But: What was achieved? Who benefited? What changed? What legacy was created? In my professional opinion as a journalist and public relations practitioner, those are the metrics that should define political leadership.

Hon. Ibrahim Kunle Olanrewaju's story demonstrates that delay is not necessarily denial. The second opportunity to serve his constituents has come. A political setback did not erase his record. It did not terminate his relevance. It did not prevent his continued contribution to national development. Instead, his journey has continued to evolve.

As he seeks another opportunity to represent the people, his previous record provides a foundation upon which his campaign can be evaluated. For the people of Ido/Osi, Moba and Ilejemeje, the decision ultimately belongs to them. But as they make that decision, I encourage them to look beyond political promises and examine the evidence of previous service.

Look at the record. Look at the interventions. Look at the beneficiaries. Look at the communities. Look at the leadership style. Look at the man beyond the campaign season. Because ultimately, performance is louder than propaganda, and a genuine record of service is one campaign message that time cannot erase; not even a specialist in political propaganda 😂! 

Hon. Ibrahim Kunle Olanrewaju, IBO, your political journey has demonstrated one important truth: good deeds may not always receive immediate political reward, but they rarely disappear. The work of yesterday can become the credibility of tomorrow. The people you lifted yesterday can become the witnesses of your service today. The challenges you survived can become the experience you need for greater responsibility tomorrow.

As you continue your political journey, remain accessible, remain humble and remain committed to the people. As little as I know, leadership is not merely about occupying the Green Chamber. It is about giving the people a reason to believe that their representative understands their aspirations and is prepared to work for their progress.

Your story has not ended. Perhaps, this is simply another chapter. May your journey continue to be defined by service, integrity, loyalty and measurable impact. And to the good people of Ido/Osi, Moba and Ilejemeje (Ekiti North Federal Constituency II), when the time comes to make your choice, remember to judge every candidate by the quality of his record, the sincerity of his service and the value he can bring to your communities.

Good leadership deserves recognition. Good performance deserves to be remembered. And a proven record deserves another opportunity to serve.

See you again in the Green Chamber, IBO WITI WITI!!!

SENATE SPOKESPERSON ADARAMODU HOSTS SENATE PRESS CORPS FOR 2026 CAPACITY-BUILDING WORKSHOP.

SENATE SPOKESPERSON ADARAMODU HOSTS SENATE PRESS CORPS FOR 2026 CAPACITY-BUILDING WORKSHOP.

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs and Spokesperson of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, on Monday hosted members of the Senate Press Corps at its 2026 Capacity-Building Workshop held at the National Assembly, Abuja.

The workshop, organised by the Senate Press Corps, was held under the theme, “Leveraging Legislative Oversight and Media Collaboration to Safeguard the National Budget from Unlawful Insertions” and focused on strengthening legislative oversight, improving budget reporting and promoting transparency and accountability. Senator Yemi Adaramodu, who represented the President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, delivered the Senate President’s goodwill message and urged parliamentary journalists to deepen their understanding of legislative procedures and the budget process for effective reportage. He also cautioned journalists against drawing conclusions on budget provisions without proper verification.

The Senate President, through Adaramodu, charged journalists to sustain their watchdog role by scrutinising the national budget and its implementation, exposing waste and monitoring the utilisation of public funds. The workshop attracted lawmakers, budget experts, civil society representatives, journalists and technology practitioners, with resource persons including the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu; Executive Director of CISLAC, Auwal Rafsanjani; BudgIT Director, Oluseun Onigbinde; and Publisher of Eagle Times, Ikechukwu Chukwunyere.

The workshop further examined concerns surrounding unlawful budget insertions and the role of the media in scrutinising budgetary information. Chairman of the Senate Press Corps, Taiye Odewale, called for stronger collaboration between the National Assembly and the media to promote budget transparency, effective legislative scrutiny and accountability.

EKITI POLL: BVAS MACHINE REJECTED MY VOTER CARD BECAUSE OF TWO 'HEADS' IN MY PICTURE, SDP WITNESS TELLS TRIBUNAL.

EKITI POLL: BVAS MACHINE REJECTED MY VOTER CARD BECAUSE OF TWO 'HEADS' IN MY PICTURE, SDP WITNESS TELLS TRIBUNAL.

...Panel slams petitioner's counsel over 'unacceptable' conduct.

A witness for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) at the Ekiti State Governorship Ekection Tribunal, Folasade Imade, has told the Tribunal that her voter’s  card was rejected by the  Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machine at the last June 20 election because the card showed two human heads.

The revelation came to light on Monday at the continuation of hearing by the three-member panel of judges led by Justice Abubakar Idris Kutigi during a proceeding that witnessed some drama by the witnesses and hot exchanges among the counsels in the suit.

The SDP which scored 179 votes at the June 20 governorship election is challenging the return of Governor Biodun Oyebanji of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The APC polled 319,224 votes to win re-election at the poll.

The witnesses were led in their examination-in-chief by the SDP counsel, Nnamdi Chukwudebelu and were cross-examined by INEC counsel, Sulaiman Ibrahim, SAN and counsel to Oyebanji, Adetunji Oso, SAN.

Under cross-examination, an SDP witness, Imade, admitted that her voter’s card was rejected by the BVAS machine because the card had two heads in the voter's photograph box in the document which made the electoral officers to ask her to stay aside because of the anomaly discovered.

Imade, who told the Tribunal that the incident happened at her polling unit in Odo Ayedun in Ikole Local Government Area, also admitted not knowing the petitioner in the case for which she came to the court to give evidence.

The witness who alleged in her witness statement on oath that N15,000 was shared at the unit later contradicted her evidence by admitting under cross-examination that she couldn't have known the amount allegedly shared because she didn't count the money to know the exact amount. 

Seyi Alade while testifying for SDP caused a stir when she told the court that she deposed to her witness statement on oath three years ago when the actual date on the document showed that the deposition was done on July 11, 2026.

Attempts by the petitioner's counsel, Chukwudebelu to allow the witness correct herself after the testimony had been recorded by judges and suggesting answers to them, were resisted by respondents' counsel and also rejected by the three-member panel.

The chairman of the panel, Justice Kutigi, maintained that the witness responded to the hearing of the court on that line of evidence and what Chukwudebelu was attempting to do amounted to "leading evidence from the Bar."

During the evidence of the witnesses, Chukwudebelu disrupted the flow of proceedings several times by suggesting to the panel the way and manner the judges should make their records and witnesses to give evidence according to his dictates.

They warned Chukwudebelu against any act that is unacceptable in the prosecution of the petition advising the lawyer to encourage his witness to listen to questions asked them, speak audibly and give answers to the best of their abilities.

At least on three occasions, Justice Kutigi and another member of the panel, Justice Maurice Okediya asked Chukwudebelu to sit down as the business of the tribunal cannot be conducted the whims and caprices of the counsel but in accordance with the law.

Justice Kutigi said: "As much as we want to accommodate you, don't play with us here. The witness never said he didn’t understand what he is doing. Let him answer us, if they want to keep quiet, we will record that they kept mute. You cannot interject and try to do the business the way you want.

"You have to behave yourself, you have to be careful, we are not kids and you have to conduct yourself as a knowledgeable member of the Bar because we are not here to play to the gallery. You cannot come here and intimidate anybody.

"It is not for you to say 'record what I say and don't record that.' All of us on this panel are over 30 years at the Bar, we are not kids. The court is a public place and everybody is watching and we have rules that guide us.

"Do you want to lead evidence from the Bar? What does cross-examination entail? Let us teach you, do you have Evidence Act? There is no law that says he cannot be cross-examined on his deposition on oath. Let us do things that will allow us make progress in this case."

Another SDP witness, Comfort Obafemi, under cross-examination admitted that there was no picture on her party membership card. She claimed that she wrote her witness statement on oath by herself.

Other witnesses who testified in support of SDP included Joseph Tola, Christiana Akinyemi, Bosede Apara and Funke Alakuro who recanted a certain paragraph of her deposition in her witness statement on oath which she described as a "lie" while responding to a question from respondent's counsel.
