NIGERIA IS BLEEDING, NIGERIANS ARE GROANING , THE GOVT IS FEASTING , SAYS AREGBESOLA AS HE RECEIVES PDP, LP, OTHER DEFECTORS.


By Emeagi Emeka Williams 

Articulately vibrant former Minister of Interior and interim National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC , Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has described the current state of the nation as where the land bleeds, the people groan , while the govt feasts.
He made this worrisome remarks in Lagos at the weekend while receiving hordes of political stalwarts from PDP, LP and others into the  ADC.
Aregbesola who read an extensive speech equally personally educated the large gathering on leadership on the essence of true nationhood pivoted by credible , accountable leaders.
He illustrated historical sayings by the late Sage, Obafemi Awolowo, and other world shapers, in his bid to reflect the nationalistic, redemptive and reparative stance of the ADC, as the party prepares for the 2027 election.
Assuring Nigerians of the inclusive methodology of the ADC, Aregbesola noted that the ADC is unique and will give 50% slot to both youth and women for elective and appointive positions.
"Parts of his awesome speech include assertions like, '' after the war, good people come together to build' , and that ' when any political party uses an alliance to gain political authority, and fails to cater for the welfare and wellbeing of the masses, it will fall and die completely'.
Aregbesola however pointed that the ADC will not be 'held' by any particular person, because it will be a vanguard of stakeholders in Nigeria's progress who are aware that what happens to Africa in years to come, will largely depend on how well Nigeria thrives, with her over 200 million population.

FROM BLACKOUT TO BRIGHT LIGHTS: How Dr. Naheem Balogun Rewrote Epe’s Story

Image
   For more than six years, large parts of Epe were trapped in darkness — not because the people were forgotten, but because leadership failed to act.      Then, change came — not from government power, but from personal responsibility. Before holding any public office, Dr. Naheem Abiodun Balogun, fondly known as Imole Eko, took a bold step that redefined community leadership: he restored light to Epe.       Across all 19 wards, over 534 solar-powered streetlights were installed, turning once-dangerous roads into safe pathways, reviving night trading, and improving community security. For residents, it was not just illumination — it was a return to normal life.       But the transformation did not stop with streetlights. More than 3,000 youths were trained and empowered with practical skills, including solar installation and maintenance. At graduation, they did not leave with certificates alone — they received working to...
