By Olayinka Awofadeju  Bukola Saraki Strategy Team (BSST) Osun State chapter hails Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State for his efforts in improving infrastructural developments at the cradle of Yoruba race . The group describes Lagere flyover as developmental drive that will forever cement Governor Ademola Adeleke's legacy in the heart of Yoruba land.  Yesterday, October 29, 2025, the Executive Governor of Osun State inspected the ongoing construction of the flyover at the cradle of Yoruba land, Ile-Ife .

By Olayinka Awofadeju  In a scathing rebuke, the Bukola Saraki Strategy Team (BSST) Osun State chapter has condemned the rally organized in support of AMBO at Osogbo , describing it as a "show of shame." The rally, staged by supporters of the AMBO faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been widely criticized for its perceived desperation and lack of substance. According to the BSST Osun State chapter, the APC's crisis-ridden state is a far cry from the peace and tranquility that Osun State is known for. The party's multiple aspirants, including Senator Iyiola Omisore , a former Deputy Governor of Osun State and National Secretary of the APC; Bola Oyebamiji , a former Commissioner for Finance in the state with an uninspiring and questionable record in public office and service delivery; and the serving National Secretary of the party, Dr. Ajibola Bashiru , are seen as mere opportunists seeking to exploit the state's peace for their own gain. In a sta...

Countless number of aspiring students are deliberately being denied admission opportunity with their rejection of the newly released NECO results! The established norm in the admission process into regular programmes in any university is the combination of UTME result with O' Level result or any of its equivalents. Prospective admission seekers are given opportunity to apply for admission, using Awaiting O' Level result , hoping for subsequent upload when the result is released. Unfortunately, many Federal Universities, exploited and extorted indigent and innocent students, by luring them ...
