OYO GOVERNMENT CLEARS THE AIR ON DELAYING AJIMOBI'S BURIAL


The immediate past Government and the All Progressives Congress (APC) Acting National Chairman, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, died on Thursday, June 25, 2020, of COVID-19 complications. 
He ought to have been buried the next day, that is, on Friday, June 26, 2020, but the burial is yet to take place.

The family of the late Governor accused the Oyo State Government of the delay. 
According to a source close to the family, he said the Oyo State Government had been contacted as touching the burial arrangement, needing the government approval, but they were resisted. He said the government official contacted told them that they could not take any action as requested by the family except the Governor, Seyi Makinde, approves it.

Oyo State Government, while reacting to the alleged accusation, stated that the land the family requested to bury the former Governor is under the lawsuit.

 According to the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Makinde, he said “Incidentally, it was the same former Governor Ajimobi who instituted the legal action. Governor Makinde had no choice but to state the facts as they are to the emissaries and turn down the request.”

Also, it clarified that it is forbidden to bury dead bodies in Government Reservation Areas (GRA) base on the rules guiding land use. He said yet, the Governor approved that the family should bury Ajimobi in Oluyole Estate, but the family insists on burying him in Agodi GRA.

The wife of  Lagos State Governor, Dr( Mrs) Joke Sanwo-olu has taken to alert the general public contrary to misinformation  that curfew has not been announced in Lagos  State. She said "The state Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu dropped the idea of imposing a curfew in the state meant to allow the fumigation exercise of public space." Relying on expert advice the Governor said the disinfectant is non toxic, noting that the exercise has commenced. He said: I'm pleased to note that we have taken possession of over 200 disinfecting machines, and starting today, we will be disinfecting all major highways, bus stops, markets, parks and other public areas."

Nigeria Celebrates 58th Independence Anniversary; Nigeria Still Under Servitude.

Image
By YUSUFF Oladeji Afeez (SIR-USEFUL) Before I attempt to analyse the theme/topic of this piece, the questions we should pose in our minds are : What is Independence? Has Nigeria gotten Independence? If truly Nigeria has gotten Independence, Why is she still in servitude? According to Merriam Webster Dictionary,  Independence is "the freedom from outside control or support". Independence is also seen as the time when a country or region gains political freedom from outside control. In the process of providing a definition to the word, "Independence", I noticed a  keyword, present,  in the definitions of Independence, supplied earlier in this piece,  which is "FREEDOM". And according to me, "Freedom is knowing the right thing, and doing the right thing,  which is the only way to  liberate one's self (someone)  from slavery." Since,  We,  Nigerians have deviated from the right things, and doing what is right, we have put ourselves under/in servi...
