I want to specially appreciate Chief Segun Sowumi for saying truth to power. Osun is a delegate state to toy with. Tinubu and his nephew should be warned and rethink their decision of planning to declare a state of emergency in the most peaceful state in Nigeria . I will advise Seyi Tinubu to talk to his father to retrace his steps of converting Nigeria to one party system because of his deadly ambition of second term…
Both PDP and APC leaders are corrupt. Had he been on the opposite side he would argue differently.
Birds of a feather. They cannot stand for what's right – they stand for what favours them.
My admiration for Mr. Segun Sowomi is top-notch.
In all of these conversations, he never for once directly referenced or called the name of President Bola Tinubu.
It's either 'they' or some other forms of pluralism when referring to 'them'. 😊😊
A smart Yoruba man. Always respectful.
Was opportuned to attend a Kukah foundation event at Abuja some time ago, sat next to Mr segun , and I enjoyed his eloquence and his depth of knowledge as well as his genuine passion for seeing that this country works.
Kudos Baba Segun
The Man that can not win his local government like OBJ is now saying irrelevant things to the questions asked him
Segun showummi always on point as usual
Tinubu is messing up the country
Segun, be bold and call the name of the political criminal in Osun – Tinubu’s nephew & serving minister in Tinubu govt.
APC Impunity must be stopped.
Stop recruiting Agberos like Tinubu & Wike in leadership.
learn from fayose he did more than what u are doing
This man calling Segun, nothing is Simple to him…na wetin? He still mentioned Edwin Clark…Abeg politicians make we rest
Mr. Segun Sowunmi, you yourself knows you are lying. Can you tell the full story?
Governor Ademola Adeleke dissolved the elected local chairmen and councillors, which happened to be APC (chairmen and councilors) when he assumed office in November 2022. APC took the matter to the State High Court, questioning the legality of the dissolution. State High Court ruled in favor of Governor Ademola Adeleke. Judgment delivered, the court upheld his decision to dissolve the elected local government chairmen and councilors, affirming the legality of his actions. The court ruled that Adeleke, as the newly elected governor, had the constitutional right to dissolve the local government structures put in place by his predecessor.
APC took the case to the Appeal Court in Akure. While the case is in the Appeal Court, Governor Ademola Adeleke is organizing another local government election and he appointed Barrister Hasim Akintunde Abioye as chairman of Osun State INEC.
The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), whether at the state or federal level, is expected to be impartial and should not be associated with any political party.
In the case of Barrister Hasim Akintunde Abioye, who was appointed as the chairman of the Osun State INEC, there have been concerns regarding his political affiliation. Hasim Abioye is a registered member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and had contested for a House of Assembly seat in 2019, which raises questions about his neutrality. This could be viewed as a potential conflict of interest, as individuals in such a role are typically expected to be free of any political party affiliation to maintain the integrity of the election process.
Under the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act, there are provisions ensuring the independence of INEC members. For example, INEC officials, including state electoral commission chairmen, should be appointed based on their competence, impartiality, and lack of political bias.
APC has raised concerns and is seeking the disqualification of Barrister Hasim Akintunde Abioye from serving as the chairman of the Osun State INEC. This legal challenge stems from his political background, as he is a registered member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and had previously contested for a House of Assembly seat in 2019.
The APC argues that his prior political affiliation and involvement with the PDP violate the expected neutrality of an INEC official, especially given the critical role of the INEC chairman in overseeing free and fair elections. According to the Electoral Act and Nigerian constitutional principles, individuals holding such positions should not have any affiliation with political parties to ensure impartiality in the conduct of elections.
The APC's legal action in this regard aims to have Barrister Abioye disqualified from his position, asserting that his appointment compromises the integrity and fairness of the electoral process in Osun State. The case is already in the courts, where the judicial system will determine if his appointment stands or if he should be disqualified based on his political history.
On February 15, 2025, the Court of Appeal indeed delivered its final ruling in favor of the All Progressives Congress (APC), nullifying Governor Ademola Adeleke's action of dissolving the elected local government chairmen and councilors. The court ruled that the governor's dissolution of the local government officials was unconstitutional, upholding the legality of the tenure of the affected officials. This ruling marked a significant development in the legal battle and reaffirmed the position of the APC in the dispute.
This man no get work because always saying out of point 👉
Economic abracadabra 😂😂😂
Very apt!
Very loquacious fellow. If the Federal Government declares State of Emergency in Osun State, what would happen? I am from Osun State and any step that will bring sanity to the polity is highly welcome. If Mr Sowunmi had lost a friend or relative in this recent crisis in Osun State, he wouldn't be saying this rubbish. Infra!
Boko Harams government officials 😂, very wicked people’s
Nice one sir and 🙏
Osun needs state of emmergency, I live in Osun.
The guy is a crazy liar. We don't have any visionary leadership in osun! And it's even his party that's behind the mayhem. I've got no political affiliations.
APC was in government for 12 years and no election was conducted until the eleventh hour of Oyetola government.
In Edo State, democratically local government elected chairmen and counselors was displaced in Edo State and federal government did nothing about it.
Oyetola and APC must call to order.
You will Live long Segun Showunmi.
Continue saying the obvious truth.
Segun is under Wike's payroll, he's deceving himself
This man is avoiding the question put before him in respect of PDP BOT's Chairman, Adolphus Wabara.
2face
Atije-Atimu politicians don full everywhere.
Noise maker!
This is how they will continue till military come to take over from them! Mad peoples, There must be a drastic action against these nonsense behaviour in politics. The peoples involved in Osun controversy should be banned completely from participating in any government office! From local to the federal. This will be the best way to deal with them. Anyone involving in terrorising because of politics ..they should banned his party and its candidate from participating in the election be local ,state or federal.
TINUBU AND OYETOLA RHE WORST UNDER PERFORM FORMER OSUN GOVERNOR AND CURRENTLY THE WORST NON PERFORMER MINISTER WILL BOTH FAIL AND BE DISGRACED AND MUST BE DEALT WITH BY GOD SOONEST.. TINUBU THE MOST EMBARRASSING POOREST PERFORMER WHO IS IN A CRIMINAL PARTY WHO PUT HARSHIP,POVERTY NEVER WITNESSED WHEN NIGERIA WAS CREATED WILL GO DOWN SOONEST.. MARK IT
Sowunmi belongs to the opposition and is doing a good job, but he should not forget how the PDP administration under Jonathan looted the empty treasury and achieved nothing.
