Emporium Reporters

For those who care to know, the July 16, 2022 event marked a political Armageddon for some individuals in Osun APC. On that fateful day, their political obituaries were written; and for some, there’s no resurrection in sight.

This won’t be an easy task, but as the saying goes, “when there’s a will, there’s a way.” So, it is doable!   At a time like this, APC must develop a comprehensive Programme of Hope, similar to the…

The 2025 budget presentation by the new Governor of Edo State has sparked public discourse, though for all the wrong reasons. While critics have fixated on a fleeting moment during the governor’s speech delivery, they fail to recognize the transformative and forward-thinking policies embedded in the budget itself. In reality, this budget represents a bold and strategic effort to rebuild Edo State after eight years of stagnation and neglect under the previous administration of Godwin Obaseki. This moment should not be reduced to superficial commentary but celebrated as the beginning…

However, the two groups operate under vastly different cultures and standards, which can lead to misunderstandings and mistrust.   As global challenges increase…
