A businessman and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Oyo State state, Dr. Abisoye Fagade, has called on the citizenry to join hands with the new government in the country in its efforts to find lasting solutions to the nation’s myriad of challenges.
The admonition came on Sunday, just as Nigerians are still basking in the euphoria of the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, which gave its verdict last Wednesday.
According to Fagade,the epic judgement of the PEPT had put paid to the agitations from the camps of three political parties, namely, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP) and Allied People’s Movement (APM), which sought to upturn the electoral victory of President Tinubu as recorded on February 25, 2023, when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) successfully conducted Nigeria’s presidential and national assembly elections.

The Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA Resource Centre), a civil society organization, has expressed “deep concern over recent developments surrounding the alleged removal of the Rector of Osun State Polytechnic (OSPOLY), Iree”.
The organization called on Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State to stop taking actions that defy court orders and undermine the rule of law.
Governor Adeleke, on Thursday, shut down the polytechnic after two rectors, Dr Tajudeen Odetayo and Mr Kehinde Alabi, resumed duty.
Odetayo was suspended recently by the governor as the rector, but he returned to the campus on Thursday upon his reinstatement by the Industrial Court sitting in Lagos State.
Adeleke suspended Odetayo on July 11, 2023, over allegations of fraud and appointed his kinsman, Alabi as the acting Rector but the staff members of the school faulted the governor’s decision.
