Ogun State and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) have initiated talks to revive the long-delayed Olokola Liquefied Natural Gas (OKLNG) project in Ogun Waterside.

This marks a significant addition to the emerging $7 billion maritime and industrial development along the state’s coastline.

This development comes shortly after the state government signed a Memorandum of Understanding with global ports and logistics operator DP World for the creation of the Gateway Deep Sea Port and the 10,000-hectare Ogun State Blue Marine Special Economic Zone.

The agreements with DP World, signed in Paris in the presence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are anticipated to attract over $7 billion in initial investment and create more than 50,000 direct jobs. The Gateway Deep Sea Port is planned to have a four-kilometre berth and an 18-metre draft, while the adjoining economic zone aims to support manufacturing, processing, logistics, and export-oriented industries.

During a meeting with NNPC officials in Abeokuta, Governor Dapo Abiodun expressed that the renewed interest in the LNG project would strengthen Ogun’s role as a significant industrial and energy hub.

‘Last Wednesday, we signed an MoU on the Deep Sea Port, and today we have the NNPC team here discussing the activation of the LNG plant,’ Abiodun stated.

The governor emphasised that the proposed LNG facility, which has been in planning for over three decades, could serve as a vital energy source for industries within the emerging coastal economic corridor and help meet the energy needs of the broader South-West region.

He noted the significance of reviving the project right after the agreement with DP World, pointing out that the port, marine economy, industrial zone, and LNG project could collectively create an integrated ecosystem for energy, manufacturing, maritime trade, and logistics.

‘They have come to discuss the LNG plant originally designed as OKLNG, which is intended to be located on our coastline. Now, they are bringing the project back to life,’ the governor explained.

Abiodun shared that discussions with NNPC centred on land acquisition, incentives, and other requirements needed to facilitate the project’s launch, with the state government committing to providing the necessary cooperation and guarantees.

‘They will pay for the land in the Economic Zone, and we will provide all the cooperation that this project requires. We will offer them the assistance and guarantees they need,’ he assured.

The governor estimated that the project could generate substantial employment and positive economic effects, citing the example of the NNPC facility in Bonny, Rivers State, which employs about 14,000 people. He added that the Ogun facility could supply gas to industries within the economic zone as well as to businesses and communities across Ogun and the wider South-West.

The renewed push for OKLNG enhances the energy dimension of the coastal investment corridor being developed around Ogun Waterside. The Federal Government identified the OK LNG project as part of a broader strategic corridor linking maritime infrastructure, industry, energy, and trade during the Paris signing ceremony.

Under the emerging development framework, the Gateway Deep Sea Port will provide maritime access for transporting raw materials, equipment, and finished products, while the Blue Marine Special Economic Zone will serve as the industrial and logistics platform. The LNG project is expected to fortify the energy supply needed to support gas-based industries and other businesses.

President Tinubu highlighted the integration of the port with the economic zone as an industrial ecosystem, noting that the emerging corridor would connect with the OK LNG project and other strategic infrastructure.

Governor Abiodun acknowledged that DP World’s global experience in developing ports and integrated economic zones would be crucial for realising the coastal development, noting the company’s operation of major port and economic-zone facilities worldwide.

He explained that the deep-sea port is being developed under a Public-Private Partnership framework, where private investors provide the funding and the Federal Government acts as a guarantor.

Regarding the LNG project, NNPC Group Chief Financial Officer Mr Adedapo Segun stated that the company is conducting a comprehensive review of the challenges that previously hindered the project, aiming to find lasting solutions and revitalise it.

‘We are here to engage with the Ogun State government on the project we plan to site alongside the state’s coastline,’ Segun said.

Additionally, NNPC Executive Vice President for Gas, Power, and New Energy, Mr Lekan Ogunleye, revealed that approximately 1,728 hectares will be needed for the LNG plants, utilities, storage facilities, and associated infrastructure.

The Director-General of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), Professor Abubakar Sulaiman, has urged Nigerians to strengthen national unity, promote inclusivity, and remain committed to nation-building as the country marks its 66th Independence Anniversary.

Sulaiman made the call in a goodwill message issued on Thursday to commemorate Nigeria’s independence anniversary, reflecting on the country’s journey since October 1, 1960.

He described Nigeria’s 66 years of independence as a testament to the resilience of its people and the efforts of successive administrations to advance the vision of the nation’s founding fathers.

Aligning with the theme of this year’s celebration, ‘From Reforms to Stability: Consolidating Nigeria’s Renewed Hope for Shared Prosperity,’ the NILDS director-general said the country’s diversity should be harnessed for national development rather than allowed to fuel division.

‘Our diversity across gender, ethnicity, region, and religion should remain a source of strength rather than division,’ he said.

Sulaiman called for greater public participation in nation-building, urging citizens to contribute to efforts to address the country’s security and developmental challenges.

He said national cohesion, gender inclusivity, unity, economic development, and legislative governance remained central to NILDS’ mandate of strengthening democratic institutions, promoting good governance, and advancing sustainable national development.

The former Minister of National Planning also congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Obot Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, on the occasion.

While acknowledging that Nigeria had yet to achieve all its aspirations, Sulaiman noted that the country had continued to evolve and strengthen its democratic institutions.

He urged Nigerians to maintain their faith in the country and uphold the values of patriotism and collective responsibility.

‘Let us remain actively engaged in building a peaceful, inclusive, prosperous and united Nigeria,’ he urged.

Sulaiman further called on citizens to uphold national unity and contribute to overcoming the challenges confronting the nation, stressing the importance of collective action in consolidating Nigeria’s democratic and developmental gains.

He wished Nigerians a peaceful Independence Day celebration and prayed for continued peace, stability, and progress in the country.

There is a lot of misconception and misrepresentation of the truth. 2025 was the year we really took on a very big innovation, especially in the aspect of introducing the Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CB-WASSCE) into schools. The era of randomisation and serialisation of questions was introduced and, as we all know, whenever you are embarking on a new idea or process, no matter how you pilot or test it, you are likely to get what are commonly referred to as glitches. Meanwhile, we should not just look at it in isolation. There has been a corresponding drop in examination malpractice, which is a good aspect of the innovations that WAEC is now known for.

From 2024, there has been a drop in examination malpractice. Similarly, in 2025, we had a rate of 9.7 per cent in examination malpractice, whereas this year, the rate dropped to 8.59 per cent, a decline of 1.1 per cent. So, you find that when there is introduction of innovation for good, some people are easily beset by it, but the fact remains that there is a drop in the malpractice rate and a change in the pattern of assessment.This very year, I can confidently tell the whole world that the WAEC examination did not leak. The consequence of this was that the cyber rogue websites or cyber companies that engage in fraudulent activities or malpractice did not thrive, so they were angered. So, they are part of the aggrieved people fuelling this unnecessary controversy. There are records which indicate to us the impact of innovation, reluctance to change, and a drop in malpractice. You will agree with me that if there is no malpractice, no leakage, definitely performance will be affected.

In 2025, you had candidates who sat for English till almost 12 midnight in some centres. Also, this year in some centres, especially in Oyo, some parts of Osun and Kwara, candidates sat till late in the night for this exam. Can you tell us how much this technology that you are so proud of has helped in the conduct of WAEC examinations in Nigeria, when many candidates had to sit for your examination till late in the night? How will you explain this?

This is rather unfortunate and I want to say this emphatically that unless the stakeholders listen to us and adapt to change, we will continue to have issues which rather are surmountable. You will all recall that until the Federal Ministry of Education stepped in, schools were reluctant to come and register, such that registration of what should have been concluded in late 2024 was not concluded until April 2026. This is what you get when registrations are done very late. When we say, give us the entries in good time so that we will be able to prepare for all that needs to be planned for the conduct of the examination, stakeholders will not be forthcoming. When we finally close by our procedure and timing that will allow for a successful conduct of the examination, we closed the window and people went to the ministry saying, WAEC wants to disenfranchise our children and so on and so forth. So, delay in registration delays the preparation of the examination, printing and other logistics.

Secondly, the Federal Government had directed all examination bodies in the achievement test industry that all examinations must be conducted in the computer-based mode. So, all our arrangements were concluded to have computer-based testing deployed to schools that complied. It was also in late April that the government now formally informed us to carry out the examination in the mode that was carried out last year. We prepared for the schools that are ready and have the facilities and those schools indicated formally, not that it was forced down their throat. They indicated formally that they were ready and they had the facilities.

It was when examination actually commenced that WAEC had to now go to the press to start printing and that affected the logistics and conduct of examination. While all of this was going on, there was a particular day when teachers were demonstrating against the kidnap of their students and teachers. On that very day, all the supervisors, we had downed tools and before we could salvage the situation, it was late for some of the schools. Technology glitch does not occur in CB-WASSCE because the test environment is a secure one. It is certain that this kind of cutting and shutting off a candidate does not arise in the conduct of the CB-WASSCE. That is the clarification I would want to make here.

How many schools actually participated in WAEC this year and how many schools opted for CBT?

We have over 25,000 schools that enrolled for the examination and out of this number, the number that opted for the CB-WASSCE is in the region of about 200 schools.

Can you give us the percentage?

That is insignificant.

If we now have only 200 and we are claiming that we have opted for CBT, would it be appropriate to say WAEC is preparing for a CBT examination?

I told you that we had plans to do it on a larger scale until the formal directive from the Ministry came. That was why and how we found ourselves here. Otherwise, the plan is for virtually all the schools, particularly in urban and semi-urban centres, to do the exam using CB-WASSCE. It was only the rural schools which did not have access to technology that we would have conducted the pen-and-paper examination for. It was at the last minute that our plans changed based on the directive we received.

Will you say that the logistic challenges that you mentioned, the protest, among other challenges that you faced never affected the results of the students this year?

Yes, I will confirm to you emphatically that it did not affect the results.

Some schools observed that some of their students who did very well in UTME and other international exams such as IELTS, GRE and scored high grades, had some of the same candidates’ records in this year’s WAEC, something that they felt was below their competence. How do you justify that?

I am glad that I am talking to people who are in the education sector. Let me use myself as an example. When I was in Form 5, I took a look at Nigeria’s GCE question paper and I compared it with the London GCE question papers and I also compared it with Nigeria’s, the WAEC question paper. Believe me, the questions are on different standards. You will not expect the performance of candidates to be the same, too. Let me come to that one of the UTME that you mentioned. Did you know that UTME is a ranking test and not an achievement test? The conditions under which you sit UTME are different from that of WASSCE. It is an aptitude test, whereas WASSCE allows you to express what you have learnt in school. Let me also add this, that some people have a wrong impression that if you have an A1 in Further Mathematics, you should also have an A1 or even better grade than in General Mathematics. This is not true.

The logic and precepts of Further Mathematics is different from that of General Mathematics. I have a blood relation who also in his time, passed Further Maths very well, but he did not do well in Mathematics. Some people also think that if you are good in Physics, you should also be good in Mathematics. No, the two subjects are independent. They have different contents. More so, the IQ of the individuals in each of these subjects differs and their delivery and the marks obtained are bound to be different. Hence, I want to emphasise that you doing well in an international examination does not mean you will in WASSCE. If you must, you have to use our syllabus. You have to be guided by other resources like the Chief Examiner’s Report. When I was in secondary school, I bought for myself the WAEC examination syllabuses, which I used to assist myself. Today, I go to schools and I see that nobody has that.

We have even come up with an innovation to say, okay, let us give these candidates the opportunity to have a feel of what the CBT examination environment looks like. As a result, we provided a virtual examination environment for them to test themselves, as well as produced a hard copy of the past questions and answers for candidates to practise, but I heard people resisting and saying they do not need it. How can you sit for an examination without the right resources that will give you success in it?

Has the result of visually impaired candidates been released and what is the percentage?

With regard to results of candidates with special needs, I will say yes. However, we have a peculiar case in this instance. Usually, when we release results, we have those that have one issue or the other that we take time to manually resolve. It happens that the larger numbers come from this category and that is why we always make room for a form of regulated control assistance to be given to these candidates. I am sorry; I do not have the percentage record here with me because I did not expect the issue to come up. I can authentically inform you that we have released results of candidates with special needs.

There are so many private schools that have zero tolerance for examination malpractice that recorded poor results for the first time in their many years of participating in your examination. Don’t you think it is high time for a third-party review of WAEC results before they are released?

Let me quickly clarify here that I did not say that private schools failed because of exam malpractice. I never made such statement. I only said the road to malpractice has been closed against schools that are used to engaging in exam malpractice and that their performance will definitely be affected there. I did not direct the statement to either the public or private schools. However, we know that there are schools that thrive on malpractice and we are on the lookout for them. We are always monitoring them to hold them when we have evidence. So even when we see you or we do not see you and we have made the condition difficult for you not to perpetrate malpractice. I said there was no leakage, there was randomization, there was serialization. Why would they not fail when they are used to copying and committing other forms of exam malpractice? This goes across all the schools. It is not only in a few select school.

On how WAEC is being marked, our procedure is standard. We follow the best practices in assessment. In fact, let me even say that for this very last examination, we improved supervisors and examiners’ remuneration. Even before this year, WAEC remuneration, compared to others, if not the best, is one of the best. We did not stop there. This year, we ensured that anyone who would mark our script had his or her certificate verified to ensure that we have qualified people to work with. Apart From that, we also have checking activity to ensure that there is adequate transfer and proper computerisation. In any examination where you have humans marking it, there could be some level of subjectivity. The only instance where you can remove subjectivity is when you deploy the zombies or the computer to mark either through the E-marker, or most importantly, the AI, which we have not yet deployed.

This now calls for Nigerians to begin to pray and get prepared for objective methods because as long as assessment has the human aspect directly involved in it, there is going to be some force of subjectivity. For anyone who feels that the scores are not a true reflection of the performance, the right and the only thing, the best thing to do, is to apply and we will do the needful. We have been doing it over the years.

Let me also say that when you apply for review, is the scores could go up or it could go down. So, it is not a guarantee that if you apply, your candidate score will go up. It could go down depending on the assessment. Yes, we have a marking scheme, which is supposed to guide us. All papers are important. To some people, mathematics is more important, some go into the exam hall just to pass Music. For some, it is just to pass Food and Nutrition.

Is the review free? How much does it cost per script?

Definitely, there is a fee but I cannot quote the amount right now. Anywhere in the world, not only with WAEC, there is always a fee to pay if you apply for a review. It is not free of charge.

We would be glad to know the exact amount; you as the head should have it at your fingertips?

It is about N6,000 per script. Yes!

What happens after a school has paid for a review and it was discovered that the error is from WAEC, will they get a refund? And what will be the lot of students whose moving ahead in life is guided by the initial wrong markings?

Yes, of course. You see, WAEC does not operate in isolation. Our practice is the same as is done by other examination bodies worldwide. Serious money goes into the review exercise, but most times, many of the cases do not even warrant the stress. From the statistics I have, which I said will soon be given out, many of the schools are just agitating because they heard that there are marking issues, whereas there are really no issues.

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State has directed Julius Berger Nigeria Plc to immediately commence remedial works on the collapsed section of the East-West Road at Agbarho in Ughelli North Local Government Area of the state.

The governor disclosed the intervention on Thursday during the 66th Independence Anniversary celebration at the Cenotaph in Asaba.

Oborevwori said the collapse of the section of the major highway was caused by a natural disaster witnessed in the area a few days earlier.

‘A few days ago, we also witnessed a natural disaster on the East-West Road. I have directed Julius Berger to immediately fix the collapsed portion of the road,’ the governor said.

The governor’s directive has already translated into action as, at the time of filing this report, the construction company had mobilised to the site and commenced reconstruction works on the washed-out section of the highway.

The intervention is expected to restore normal traffic flow and ease the difficulties faced by motorists and commuters along the busy East-West Road corridor.

Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has explained why the South-West may be a difficult terrain for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, warning that the contest may not be as easy for the president as expected.

Primate Ayodele said Tinubu would need to work harder in South-West, particularly in Lagos, Oyo and Osun states, where he predicted a tough contest despite the president’s political standing in the South-West.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the cleric said Tinubu should not assume that the election would be a ‘bread and butter’ affair in the region.

‘Tinubu must work hard in some states because it won’t be easy. Even in Lagos State, it will be hot; he shouldn’t think it will be bread and butter. The election will be a very tough one for him; even in Oyo and Osun, it won’t be all that smooth in the South West.

‘He also needs to work on Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Niger, Bayelsa, Imo, Enugu, Delta, Benue and Abuja; all these states are still shaking. It may not be easy for the president in these places. He must work very hard and perfect all that is needed.’

Ayodele also attributed part of the potential challenges to concerns surrounding the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket adopted by the All Progressives Congress (APC), warning that the issue could create religious tension if not properly managed.

He urged Tinubu and his team to exercise caution in their campaign around the ticket, saying some people were unhappy with the arrangement and could react violently.

‘Let us be cautious against a religious crisis because of this Muslim-Muslim ticket. What I see is trouble if this is not well handled. A lot of people are in pain, and people are ready to go violent if this isn’t well taken care of.

‘This won’t be about the presidency alone, it will also move to the states that are presenting the same ticket format. They must be careful not to create a religious tension that will go across the nation. Tinubu must show wisdom otherwise, a lot of things will come out from it.’

The cleric further listed Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Niger, Bayelsa, Imo, Enugu, Delta, Benue and Abuja among other areas where he said the president would need to intensify his efforts ahead of the election.

OPPOSITION, at its best, is democracy’s conscience, a disciplined force that interrogates power, enriches public debate, and offers citizens a credible alternative. In Oyo State today, however, both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation appear to have drifted far from that noble responsibility. What should be principled engagement has been reduced to a cycle of accusations, theatrics, and unfocused hostility. In place of ideas, they offer indignation; in place of solutions, spectacle. Rather than strengthening democratic discourse, they diminish it and, in doing so, undermine their own claim to leadership. Increasingly, their conduct follows a predictable pattern: reflexive allegations that collapse under scrutiny. Claims are announced with theatrical certainty, yet when evidence is demanded, none is produced. Assertions replace facts; outrage substitutes for insight. The result is an opposition bloc that weakens itself rather than enriching the democratic process. One of their most persistent claims is that Governor Seyi Makinde has ‘paralysed’ local government administration. Yet the facts on the ground tell a different story. Local governments continue to meet their obligations: salaries are paid, projects are executed, and essential services are delivered. Roads are being rehabilitated, primary health centres are functioning, community facilities are being upgraded, and grassroots interventions have not stalled.

This allegation is not rooted in the performance of the councils but in the opposition’s need to sustain a narrative of dysfunction where none exists. It collapses under basic verification, yet is repeated with the confidence of a script rehearsed for effect rather than truth. This is not oversight; it is political theatre and not even a convincing one. In effect, the APC is telling the public that it has nothing to offer. Perhaps the most troubling aspect of the APC and the Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation’s approach is not the allegations themselves, but the silence that follows when the question turns to their own vision. For all the press releases, briefings, and indignation, neither the party nor its candidate has told the people what they would do differently if entrusted with power. There is no blueprint. No policy direction. No economic plan. No governance philosophy. No roadmap for security, education, infrastructure, or youth development. Just noise. Opposition is not merely about pointing out what is wrong; it is more about illuminating what could be right. Yet the opposition has offered nothing, not even a sketch of the future. This vacuum is worsened by the APC’s internal dilemma: its standard bearer, Barrister Sharafadeen Alli, lacks the stature, clarity, and policy grounding required to inspire confidence across the state.

Political analysts often observe a familiar pattern: when a party lacks a coherent agenda, credible policies, or a strong candidate, it substitutes substance with spurious allegations. Noise becomes a shield for emptiness; outrage becomes a distraction from the absence of ideas. This pattern is unmistakable in the behaviour of the APC and the Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation. Their barrage of accusations is not evidence of vigilance; it is evidence of a vacuum. Instead of presenting solid plans or strong alternatives, they resort to sensational claims that collapse under scrutiny. In politics, this is not a strategy, it is a confession of incompetence and unpreparedness. A campaign confident in its candidate speaks of ideas and possibilities. A campaign uncertain of its candidate resorts to noise. The absence of a coherent vision is not a trivial flaw; it is a fundamental failure. A political organisation seeking to govern must articulate what governance under its leadership would look like. It must present a philosophy, a direction, a plan. It must show that it understands the complexities of the state and has the capacity to address them. When a campaign cannot do this, it forfeits the right to be taken seriously.

This contrast becomes even sharper when placed beside the consistent elucidation of plans by the Allied People’s Movement (APM) candidate, Honourable Bimbo Adekanmbi. While the APC and the Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation rely on allegations, the APM candidate has repeatedly articulated clear, structured, and people-centred proposals for the future of Oyo State. His engagements focus on policy, not theatrics; on solutions, not sensationalism. Where the opposition offers noise, Adekanmbi offers direction. Where they recycle accusations, Adekanmbi outlines programmes. Where they evade scrutiny, he welcomes it with detailed plans. Adekanmbi’s contributions have reinforced the seriousness of the APM’s agenda. In education, he emphasises modernised learning environments, teacher retraining, and curriculum upgrades that prepare students for a competitive global economy. His focus on STEM, digital literacy, and school infrastructure stands in sharp contrast to the opposition’s fixation on allegations. On capacity development, he outlines programmes aimed at equipping young people with practical skills, from vocational training to entrepreneurship, ensuring that Oyo’s workforce is prepared for emerging opportunities. His advocacy for strengthened primary healthcare, improved hospital facilities, and community-based interventions demonstrates a clear understanding of the state’s needs. These proposals show what governance looks like when grounded in data and compassion, not theatrics.

Similarly, Adekanmbi has repeatedly stressed the importance of positioning Oyo State as a digital-economy hub through broadband expansion, tech-startup incubation, digital-skills training, and partnerships with private-sector innovators. These ideas reflect a modern, future-ready vision, the very thing the APC has failed to articulate. Adekanmbi’s clarity underscores a simple truth: serious politics is about ideas, not accusations. His coherence only magnifies the emptiness of the APC’s approach. History offers a warning. This was the fatal flaw that weakened the UK Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn. Between 2015 and 2019, Labour perfected the art of destructive opposition: loud, accusatory, ideologically rigid, and internally divided.

It hurled allegations at the ruling Conservatives but failed to offer coherent alternatives. It embraced ideological grandstanding instead of practical governance. And when voters finally asked, ‘What will you do differently?’ Labour had no answer.

The result was historic: Labour suffered its worst electoral performance since 1935 because voters concluded that ‘The Labour people are not serious.’

Oyo APC and the Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation are now walking that same path.

Every unsubstantiated allegation chips away at their credibility.

Every burst of drama shrinks their relevance.

Every moment spent shouting instead of explaining signals to voters: ‘These APC people are not ready to govern.’

Internal disunity only deepens the problem. The party is battling schisms, contradictory public statements, and leaders undermining one another. Instead of presenting a united front, the opposition is divided and reactive, more focused on internal supremacy than public service. This is not the posture of a party determined to win an election; it is the posture of a bloc preparing for a catastrophic defeat.

Desperation is not a strategy; it is a symptom. And the desperation now visible in the APC and the Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation is tied directly to the weakness of their candidate. A strong candidate inspires confidence, rallies supporters, and anchors a campaign with clarity and purpose. A weak candidate forces the campaign to rely on noise, sensation, and distraction.

When a political organisation believes its candidate cannot win on ideas, it tries to win on agitation. When it fears its candidate cannot inspire hope, it tries to manufacture fear. When it knows its candidate cannot articulate a credible future, it tries to discredit the present.

But voters are not fooled. They can distinguish between genuine oversight and political theatre. They can tell when criticism is grounded in fact and when it is driven by desperation. They can see when a campaign is offering a future and when it is merely shouting at the present.

Opposition, when exercised with integrity, is one of democracy’s highest duties. It demands clarity of purpose, steadiness of vision, and a commitment to the public good that rises above partisan impulse. When a political party abandons these obligations and embraces a politics of accusation, noise, and internal discord, as the APC has done, it does not weaken the government; it weakens itself.

With its theatrics and noise, it is clear that the Oyo APC is warming up for another four years in the cold as an opposition party as APM’s Bimbo Adekanmbi coasts home to victory.
