 SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS PRESIDENT'S POWER TO DECLARE EMERGENCY RULE The  supreme court has affirmed the president's constitutional authority to declare a state of emergency in a state threatened by breakdown of law and order, including the power to temporarily suspend elected officials as an extraordinary measure to restore stability. The seven-man panel of justices of the apex court gave the order in a 6 to 1 split decision on a suit filed by Adamawa state and 10 others challenging president Bola Tinubu's march 18, 2025 declaration of emergency rule in Rivers state.  The declaration had led to the six-month suspension of the state's governor, deputy governor, and members of the house of assembly amid prolonged political crisis and security concerns. Although the court initially dismissed the suit on jurisdictional grounds, ruling that the plaintiffs failed to establish a sufficient cause of action invoking its original jurisdiction, it proceeded to address the substanti...

I SUFFERED WORST PERSONALITY ATTACKS, ASSAULTS IN OSUN’S POLITICAL HISTORY, SAYS OSUN GOVERNOR. (PHOTO)..


I suffered worst personality attacks, assaults in Osun’s political history, says Osun gov

Osun Governor, Ademola Adeleke, yesterday, recalled the controversy that trailed his educational qualification during the 2018 governorship election saying he was subjected to the worst personality attacks and assaults in the political history of the state.

He, however, stated that he is a living example of how best to pursue an educational degree despite age.

In his remarks at the convocation of Adeleke University, Ede, he maintained that getting well educated is not time-bound and age must not be a barrier to educational pursuit.

He noted that July 16 makes a year he was elected as governor despite how he was subjected to personality attacks and assaults in 2018 as a result of discussion over his academic qualification.

“Interestingly, getting well educated is not time-bound. We all must have read several stories of people at advanced ages enrolling and graduating from universities. You all know I am a living example of how best to pursue an educational degree despite age;

“Today marks a year since my election as the governor of Osun State. Four years before then, in 2018, I was rigged out and our mandate was stolen. I was subjected to the worst personality attacks and assaults in Osun’s political history.

“After a manipulated judicial process, I went on self-exile for two major reasons. Firstly, to escape the evil plot of enemies who were not satisfied with stealing the people’s mandate. Secondly, to complete my degree programmes especially as my educational qualifications dominated the 2018 campaigns.

“At my age then, I successfully re-enrolled and completed my degree programme. I am proud of that achievement and I thank my family and friends for their total support. I came back to re-contest in 2022 as a brand-new graduate. The rest is now history,” Adeleke said.
