2023: Atiku, Tinubu Are Not As Old As Methuselah, They Are Not Too Old To Run An Ogun chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr Segun Showunmi has described those attacking the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as well as former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the duo's presidential aspiration come 2023 despite their relative old age as shallow minded people. Showunmi who also served as the Spokesman to Atiku Abubakar 2019 Presidential Campaign disclosed that these set of people should rather be concerned with capacity and the wealth of experience possessed by the individual offering to lead the country come 2023 rather than age citing the examples of Ronald Reagan, Trump, Biden among others who ruled their countries in their 70s. The PDP chieftain declared many of the challenges confronting the country such as insecurity, renegotiation of our debt, agitation for restructuring, strengthening the bond of our unity among others are better m...

Note to President Buhari - As you visit Ogun State Mr President welcome to Ogun state a land you are aware of from your years as a young military officer in Alamala. Over the years, I am happy that you have kept a good relationship with the people of Ogun. In the name of all sons and daughters of the gateway state, I welcome you and your entourage!  However, Sir, there are few issues I wish to bring to your notice, as they represent some of the things we would like you to help our state with.  1. Mr President, as a gateway state, we have too many federal government roads that are in a calamitous state. The Lagos-Abeokuta road passing through Ota which is a National industrial hub is really bad. I believe that if the federal government cannot help with this all important road, please use your authority to get it handed over to the dual states of Lagos and Ogun for us to take it over and fix it. The Ota-Agbara road linking Badagry is in a very sorry state, and this is a road tha...

The Spokesman of Atiku Abubakar 2019 Presidential Campaign, Mr Segun Showunmi has urged the federal government to revisit calls for restructuring as we move into 2022. Segun Showunmi said that the country had wobbled enough and that if it would ever become the giant of Africa that the nation is supposed to be, it must set machinery in motion in the new year to allow the spirit and ideals of restructuring flow unhindered. The PDP stalwart has equally expressed his displeasure with the lackadaisical way the federal government had been fighting anti graft war in the country urging the government to go after the corrupt governors in 2022. Showunmi stated this in his new year message made available to journalists at Abeokuta, the state capital on Friday. He said "many conversations have occurred as to how do we live within the shared national boundary, Nigeria. Some have captured it under the popular term restructuring, which to their mind, a round table will be needed to take in the v...

Ronke Ogunremi, A True Amazon with Integrity One of the greatest pains in Nigeria of today is that those we can refer to as political elites are into politics for self-aggrandizement, although, it cannot be ascertained why this is so, but the fact of the matter is they are known for putting their personal interests above the over-all well-being of the masses. This is not so for a one time General Manager of Eko Hotel; and the defunct Gateway Hotel, Abeokuta, Princess Dr. Ojaronke Joseph - Ogunremi, who from the beginning of her journey into politics in 1998 has maintained that the general interest of the people should be the major focus of the political class. She displayed this belief in 2019, when she decided to run for House of Representatives in Abeokuta North, Obafemi Owode and Odeda Local Governments, during the primaries, she vehemently confessed that her campaign will be based on integrity and not monetary incentives. In one of the interviews with her before 2019 elections, Foc...

A nationalist, Segun Showunmi has called on the government and the citizens of Nigeria to take a deep lesson from the last year EndSars protests which took place all over the states resulting into what he termed gory tales. Segun Showunmi who is always agitating for a better Nigeria said that human beings have the rights to protest under any circumstances as there is no provision in the constitution of the country prohibiting them from exercising their fundamental human rights to protest or show displeasure to unfriendly governmental policies. He pointed that the incident which happened last year is capable of dragging the nation into war just like a revolution of the nature of the “Arab Spring”—which left a lot of North African countries destroyed, but we should be grateful to God for his timely intervention. "It is appropriate to pay obeisance to the memories of all those who suffered, died, got injured or lost valuable properties. In all, we must never forget what happened and ...

  A group, Good Governance Vanguard (GGV) has said that no amount of unpatriotic sponsored attack against a member of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Spokesman of 2019 Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign, Segun Showunmi would displace the fact that Gov Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has performed abysmally poor. The group in a statement signed by its Coordinator, Irede Ogunrinde stated this while reacting to a news report credited to one Ogun Civil Network calling Segun Showunmi all sort of unprintable names just for asking Gov Abiodun to up its game and give qualitative leadership just as he promised during his electioneering campaign. The group said it was so laughable and indeed playing to the gallery for anyone to have dubbed Segun Showunmi a political jobber with no pedigree who only criticises for pecuniary gains after which he would shut up his mouth. It stated further that "we could understand the pains and frustration of this attack dog masquerading as a group because our...
