 ‘I’ll turn off the mic’ — Remi Tinubu reins in Adeleke’s singing at Ooni’s anniversary First Lady Oluremi Tinubu cautioned Ademola Adeleke, the Osun state governor, for prolonged singing during his remarks at the 10th coronation anniversary celebration of Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife. The moment, captured in a now-viral video, occurred as the governor mounted the podium on Sunday to pay tribute to the monarch and to congratulate the Remi on her newly bestowed chieftaincy title, Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua. Rather than proceed immediately with his formal message, Adeleke, popularly known as the “Dancing Governor” for his spirited public appearances, burst into a short musical chant, drawing laughter from parts of the audience.

 ‘Heartbreaking’: Deputy Speaker Kalu on Lagos Trade Fair demolitions


Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has described the demolition of buildings at the Lagos Trade Fair Complex as heartbreaking.

Speaking on Friday during President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Abia State for the commissioning of projects executed by the Governor Alex Otti administration, Kalu said the exercise “makes our hearts bleed.”

The president was represented at the event by the Minister of Works, David Umahi.

“Mr President, I also want to say that the destruction, demolition of the houses and offices of our brothers in Lagos makes our hearts bleed,” Kalu said.

The Deputy Speaker appealed to President Tinubu to intervene with the Lagos authorities and allow defaulters time to regularise their documents instead of losing their properties.

“For some of them who have not gotten the right document, my plea is to appeal to the governor of Lagos State (Babajide Sanwo-Olu) to keep accommodating our brothers.

“Let them come into the room and find a way of regularising some of these documents. It bleeds our hearts that in this hard time, houses are being destroyed. But I know Mr President, who cares for the Igbos, will listen to the yearnings of the Igbos,” he said.

He also called on the Federal Government to prioritise port development in the South East to support the region’s trading economy.

His appeal follows the commencement of the demolition of illegal and unsafe structures at the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos.

The operation, carried out on September 25, involved the Ministry of Physical Planning, the Lagos State Building Control Agency, the Urban Renewal Agency, and the Physical Planning Permit Authority.
