~Orders Party's Candidates to Reach Out To Aggrieved Members The Lawmaker representing Kosofe Federal Constituency Hon. (Prince) Agunsoye has been absolved of allegations of anti-party activities by the Governor's Advisory Council (GAC). Hon. Agunsoye was absolved of the allegation at the GAC meeting held on Monday to resolve the political logjam that has been bedevilling the Federal Constituency since the beginning of the year.

OLUSEGUN APENA December 25th has always been a very special day for millions of people all over the world being the day Lord Jesus Christ was born. However, for Hon. Prince Rotimi Agunsoye, the Lawmaker representing the good people of Kosofe Federal Constituency, the day, apart from being a special one, is very unique in the sense that it is the day his beloved mother - the matriarch of Agunsoye Royal Family of Ijebu-Ijesha, Princess Beatrice Tinuola Agunsoye - was born. It is, therefore, no wonder that the Lawmaker attaches so much importance to celebrating the day with hundreds of his political loyalists, friends, colleagues and family members. Thus as the distinguished Lawmaker joins the rest of the world to celebrate the birth of Lord Jesus Christ on December 25th, he is at the same time celebrating the birthday of his beloved mother who happens to be his pillar of support and bedrock of success over the years. And this year's own is not different.

Mile 12 demolition: A Political miscalculation of the highest order By: Yunus Adogba To avoid wrong judgement, I proceeded to the Alaba section of Mile 12 market today 16th of December, 2022 for self-confirmation of the alleged demolition, and to assess the negative impact such action might have on the affected traders if it happens to be true.  I was shocked to the marrow when it became a reality that the Chairman of Ikosi Iseri, Princess Bada actually ordered the demolition, and ensure it was fully carried out. Right at the scene of the demolition, I became more confused when it was revealed that the area in question is a Yoruba-dominated section of the market. I kept asking myself how a politician of high repute could go for an action that can de-market her party by inflicting agony of such magnitude on multiple electorates towards election. This thought made me speechless for about five minutes after speaking to the people concerned. I fully sympathized with them and

Barely 10 days to Christmas Celebration, about 1000 market men and women of Mile 12 international market were on Thursday thrown into economic hardship with the demolition of Alaba section of the market by the Ikosi-Isheri LCDA. The demolition was reported to have been carried out on the directives of the council's chairperson Princess Samiat Bada. According to a council official who pleaded for anonymity, the demolition was carried out to enable the LCDA to redevelop the market into a modern business centre. Those affected by the demolition are yam powdered sellers, Palm Oil/Groundnut oil sellers and grinding operators, among others. Kosofe Reporters gathered that there was no prior meeting or discussion between the LCDA and the affected marketers before the demolition was carried out. According to some market leaders of Alaba market who spoke to our correspondent only a quit notice was given to them for contravention on October 26 a

They also protested the monthly payment of N2.5m by the council Chairperson to her husband, Rt. Hon. Tola Banjo, a staunch member of PDP in Ogun state, on a monthly payment of N2.5m and the payment of N800,000 to her immediate sister Mrs. Toyibat Balogun. The protesters numbering about 1000 had arrived at the State House of Assembly at about 9 am carrying placards with various inscriptions to show their grievances. Some of the inscriptions on the placards read: "Samiat Must Go"; Governor San

Sequel to the discoveries of illegal payment of emoluments and other sundry funds by the Ikosi-Isheri LCDA Chairperson, Princess Samiat Bada, to her husband Rt. Hon. Tola Banjo and her sister Mrs. Toyibat Balogun some constituents of Kosofe Federal Constituency have called for a thorough investigation of the Chairperson over the reported misappropriation of public funds and her subsequent impeachment if found wanting. The constituents made their opinions known in comments posted on our Facebook page after our media outfit (Kosofe Reporters) broke the news of the illegal monthly payment of N500,000 by Princess Samiat Bada to her husband, Rt. Hon. Tola Banjo, a staunch PDP member in Ogun state and a die-hard loyalist of Atiku Abubakar. The Ikosi-Isheri chairperson is also reportedly paying her immediate sister Mrs. Toyibat Balogun N800,000 monthly on the pretence of being the chairperson of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA. These shocking discoveries have, however, not gone down well with t

*He is also a Die-Hard Loyalist of Atiku Abubakar *Working Vigorously Against Asiwaju *Samiat's Sister Is Also Receiving N800K Monthly As Chairperson A staunch member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State and a die-hard Atiku loyalist, Rt. Hon. Tola Banjo, the husband of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA Chairperson - Princess Samiat Bada- is on the Payroll of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA as he is receiving N500,000 monthly, Kosofe Reporters has reliably gathered. According to reliable sources at the LCDA, apart from the N500,000, Banjo is also getting sundry allowances and was recently presented a Jeep by his wife, Princess Bada. Hon. Banjo who was the former deputy Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly has been attending PDP rallies within and outside Ogun while he is also involved in a vigorous electioneering campaign against APC presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This shocking revelation has now led to serious condemnation within the

Hypocrisy, they say, is the audacity to preach integrity from the den of corruption. It is also the ability to profess loyalty to a political cause while flirting with the camp of an arch-enemy.  The above statements are self-evidently true of the hypocritical character and behaviour of the chairperson of Ikosi/Isheri LCDA Princess Samiat Bada. She, in recent times has been nightmarishly obsessed with the political activities of the distinguished lawmaker representing the good people of Kosofe Federal Constituency, Hon. (Prince) Rotimi. Agunsoye. Her traumatic obsession with the excellent performance of Hon. Agunsoye had led to her recent flatulent outburst of inanities and nonsensical drivel. In sheer audacious hypocrisy, the former "Paraga retailer" despicably accused óur distinguished lawmaker of engaging in anti-party activities for allowing a former councillor in Ikosi/Isheri LCDA, Hon. Moruf Adeshina to contest under the banner of SDP.  This alle
