Monarchs in Remoland have applauded the Governorship Candidate of the PDP, Senator Buruji Kashama for being the only that has so far presented a clear policy document and a letter of undertaking

Speaking in Sagamu on Wesdnesday when Kashamu visited the Remo Traditional Rulers-in-Council, the Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remoland, His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Ajayi who described Senator Kashamu as “our son” expressed gratitude to the monarchs of Remoland for joining him to receive their own.

He expressed the hope that when Kashamu gets to office, he will not forget the traditional institution as promised.

Oba Ajayi also commended the Governorship Candidate for giving priority to the issue of local government autonomy, adding that it was one issue dear to his heart.

He added that they had been receiving other governorship candidates but this was an exception.

“He is the only who has come with a policy document and a letter of undertaking so that we can hold him accountable should he depart from his promises. I would like to appeal to all the Kabiyesi to please read the policy document, ” Oba Ajayi said

In his remarks, Ewusi of Makun-Sagamu, Oba Timothy Akinsanya, commended Kashamu for the leadership traits and political maturity that he displayed on the 13th of January, 2019 when some hoodlums acting on the instructions of a member of the House of Representatives attacked his supporters and destroyed his campaign vehicles in Sagamu at the New Year/Thanksgiving Service of former Ogun State Governor, His Excellency, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.

Oba Akinsanya prayed for Kashamu and asked God to make his aspiration a reality.

The Onirolu of Irolu, His Royal Highness, Oba Sikiru Adeyiga and the Oludotun of Idotun-Ikene, His Royal Highness, Oba Odunayo Solarin, also took turns to pray for Kashamu’s success at the polls.

Oba Ajayi presented to Kashamu the Remo Growth and Development Plan, which he said, is usually presented to “special people who stand a good chance of assuming leadership”.

The plan, he added, was put together by the Remo Foundation.

Burkina Faso has released Nigerian soldiers who were detained after their aircraft made a forced landing in the Sahelian country earlier this month, Nigerian officials said.

The release followed a diplomatic intervention by President Bola Tinubu, who dispatched a high-level delegation led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, to meet Burkina Faso’s Military Leader, Ibrahim Traoré, on Wednesday.

In a statement, Alkasim Abdulkadir, Tuggar’s spokesperson, said both sides resolved the matter amicably and secured the release of the Nigerian Air Force pilots and crew.

The soldiers had been held for nearly two weeks after the Confederation of Sahel States (AES) described the aircraft’s landing as an “unfriendly act” carried out in defiance of international law.

The Nigerian Air Force, however, said the crew encountered a technical issue that required a precautionary landing in Bobo-Dioulasso, the nearest available airfield. It said the landing complied with standard safety procedures and international aviation protocols.
