Eighteen local government chairmen in Ondo State are urging President Bola Tinubu to intervene in a brewing crisis within the APC, where the party’s National Working Committee is ignoring verified primary election results — favoring different candidates for national assembly seats. The chairmen, led by Gbenga Fasua, insist the primaries were fair and transparent, and that honoring the original winners is vital to preserving the party’s democratic integrity and unity. They’ve called on Tinubu to uphold the legitimacy of the process without resorting to protests, praising Governor Aiyedatiwa for maintaining peace. Their appeal is a plea for justice, accountability, and renewed trust in the APC’s internal democracy.

Rumors swirl online that actor Baba Ijesha received a chieftaincy title from the Ooni of Ife — but the palace quickly clarified it was all a misunderstanding. During a casual visit to celebrate the birth of their son, Baba and his wife were warmly welcomed, gifted a car and cash, and treated like family. The “Awada Konge Oduwa” comment Baba posted? Just a joke honoring his comedy chops — not a formal title. The Ooni praised Baba’s Ile-Ife roots and hinted at future recognition, but stressed that no official chieftaincy ceremony occurred. Palace urges fans to stop spreading rumors and respect the sacred traditions of the institution.
