D1 then ushered Hon. Akinlade to Imodi ward, where the ecstatic multitude received the APM team. Otunba Adeneye, speaking in his native Ijebu dialect, appealed for support, saying the APM has the interest of the masses at heart and will do everything to bring development to the ward. A visibly delighted Hon. Akinlade, then pledged to develop the rural areas, including Imodi, which is one of the vital agenda in his manifesto.

Hon Akinlade thanked them for the reception and urged them to vote for him and D1. “Together, if voted in, myself and your son, Dayo Adeneye will work to continue the 25-year developmental master plan, which will be of great benefit to you”, he stated.

I believe that with your showing today, victory is guaranteed. Let’s do the needful and vote massively for myself and D1, your world famous son” he concluded.

Ososa ward, the home of Sir Hubert Ogunde, was the next port of call for the Victory Team. Otunba Adeneye led the team to meet with the crowd, who waited till very late to receive them. He then received 200 defectors from the Alliance for Democracy (AD), led by their Secretary into the APM. Hon. Akinlade said this was due to the good performance of their son, Otunba Adeneye in office and urged them to vote for D1 and himself in the coming polls.

Akinlade thanked them and promised to meet all SUGs in Ogun after the ward to ward campaigns.

The leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has lashed back at Vice President Kashim Shettima over the latter’s reaction to her comments about Nigeria.

Badenoch was born in the UK in 1980 to Nigerian Yoruba parents.

Badenoch, who attained age 16 in Nigeria before departing the country for the UK where she was elected Conservative Party’s leader, described Nigeria as a nation brimming with thieving politicians and insecurity.

However, Shettima, while speaking at the 10th Annual Migration Dialogue at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday, December 9, 2024, accused Badenoch of “denigrating her country of origin” with her remarks.

The vice-president listed influential people whose families had migrated to other countries, commending former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as a “brilliant young man who never denigrated his nation of ancestry.”

Reacting on Wednesday, Badenoch lashed back at Shettima, saying she doesn’t do “PR for Nigeria”.

Her spokesperson, as the Tory leader, according to UK Express, said: “Kemi is not interested in doing Nigeria’s PR; she is the Leader of the Opposition in the UK.

“She tells the truth; she tells it like it is; she isn’t going to couch her words. She stands by what she said.”
