CSNewsLeave a Comment on Ex Minister Adebayo Adelabu Denies Calling for APC Rejection

The media office of former Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has strongly debunked viral social media reports alleging that he called on Nigerians to reject the ruling All Progressives Congress. The official statement described the circulating report as completely false, mischievous, and designed to generate artificial friction between Adelabu, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and APC leadership. Clarifying the origin of the viral video clip, the statement revealed that the footage was selectively extracted from an interview granted in 2022 when Adelabu contested the Oyo governorship under the Accord Party. During that period, Adelabu urged voters to evaluate candidate credibility while maintaining open support for Tinubu’s presidential candidacy. Reaffirming his unalloyed loyalty to the APC and President Tinubu, Adelabu maintained that his demand for internal party democracy and primary election transparency should never be misrepresented as disloyalty. He urged party faithful and the public to disregard the fabricated narrative and rely solely on verified communications. By: Asiwaju Adekunle Saheed

CSNewsLeave a Comment on EDO 2027: APC CANDIDATE OSAMUEDE EDEBIRI PLEDGES YOUTH FOCUSED LEGISLATION AND INCLUSIVE GOVERNANCE IN OREDO EAST

The All Progressives Congress candidate for the Edo State House of Assembly, Oredo East Constituency, Hon. Osamuede Edwin Edebiri, has pledged to champion youth focused legislation, inclusive governance, and people centered development if elected in the upcoming 2027 general elections. Speaking on his legislative ambition, Edebiri stated that the time has come for young people to transition from being celebrated during election campaigns to becoming active stakeholders in decision making processes. The assembly candidate argued that effective legislative representation requires lawmakers to deeply understand the everyday realities confronting their constituents. He emphasized that his candidacy for Oredo East is built on the firm conviction that youth experiences must directly influence policy decisions within the state legislative chamber. Criticizing what he described as tokenistic youth engagement, Edebiri condemned the practice of mobilizing young citizens as campaign tools only to exclude them after elections. He insisted that youth must be treated as strategic partners whose innovative ideas, energy, and lived experiences can drive meaningful development throughout Oredo East. Outlining his core campaign blueprint, Edebiri declared that his legislative agenda rests on four key pillars: good representation, quality legislation, sustainable development, and people centered service. He stated that these priorities will ensure the immediate welfare and needs of ordinary constituents remain at the heart of his legislative work. Edebiri stressed that behind every policy decision are real people whose lives are directly impacted, including young people seeking better economic opportunities, families demanding improved infrastructure, students requiring quality education, and young entrepreneurs seeking support to scale their businesses. He affirmed that these daily struggles will drive his commitment to public service. Addressing generational synergy, the APC candidate sought the blessing and guidance of traditional rulers, elders, and community leaders. He noted that active youth involvement in governance should complement rather than undermine the wisdom of older generations, adding that combining elder experience with youth energy creates an unstoppable foundation for constituency growth. Edebiri further urged political leaders across board to grant young people substantive leadership roles rather than symbolic appointments. Concurrently, he charged emerging young leaders to practice humility, integrity, and absolute accountability, reminding them that political representation is a public trust that carries broader implications for an entire generation. Concluding his declaration, Edebiri called on the residents of Oredo East to embrace a new standard of representation defined by accessibility, development, and effective legislative advocacy. He urged constituents to walk together toward a brighter future built on collective progress and genuine political inclusion. By: Asiwaju Adekunle Saheed
