“No Bloodshed!” — Historian Reveals How Gowon’s Final Words During 1975 Coup Showed His True Love for Peace

In a recent interview on the Edmund Obilo Show, historian and author Adebayo Adeolu, who wrote “Sani Abacha: Nigeria’s Most Powerful Defence Minister and Head of State,” revealed a powerful and often-overlooked detail about General Yakubu Gowon’s fall from power in 1975.

Adeolu disclosed that when news of the coup reached Gowon, the then Head of State ordered his aides and security personnel not to resist or spill any blood.

“When Gowon was going to be overthrown, he said, ‘make sure nobody’s killed, we have seen enough of it,’” Adeolu quoted.

According to the historian, Gowon’s reaction reflected his deep weariness with Nigeria’s cycles of violence — particularly after the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), which he had led. Instead of clinging to power, Gowon chose peace over conflict, showing a level of restraint rare among military rulers of his time.

“That single moment showed Gowon’s moral strength and his genuine desire for a peaceful Nigeria,” Adeolu said, describing the act as one of the most humane moments in Nigeria’s military history.


Gowon, who was attending the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Summit in Uganda when he was ousted, quietly accepted his removal and later devoted his life to reconciliation and peacebuilding — cementing his reputation as a statesman of grace and humility.

Oyo Allocates 90 Hectares of Land To FG For Dry Port Construction

The Oyo State Government has handed over the Certificate of Occupancy for 90 hectares of land to the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy for the construction of a dry port.

The land, which is located at Moniya in Ibadan, was handed over by the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Lawal, to a delegation led by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, Olorunfemi Oloruntola.

Speaking earlier at the Office of the Governor, the Deputy Governor, Adebayo Lawal, expressed optimism that the project, when completed, would boost the economy of the state, emphasising that party differences would not hinder development in Oyo State.

He urged the Federal Government to quickly put the land into use and commence the project on time, noting that several lands previously allocated to the Federal Government had been left abandoned.

In his response, the leader of the delegation commended the state government for releasing such a massive parcel of land for developmental purposes and promised that work would commence as soon as possible.

"Give President Tinubu Time, He Will Tax the Air We Breathe" —SDP’s Adewole Adebayo.

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has condemned the federal government’s decision to impose a 15 per cent import duty on refined petroleum products. 

Adebayo described the move as “an anti-people decision” and accused President Bola Tinubu of pushing excessive taxation policies.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Adebayo argued that the administration is prioritising revenue collection over citizens’ welfare.

According to him, “President Tinubu is a clever tax collector. He wants to collect taxes from you for everything, including the oxygen tax, very soon.
If you’re not careful, yes, the air we breathe. Just give him time; he’s going to get there,” he said.

Adebayo contended that the new import duty contradicts the principles Tinubu once promoted.

“It is an anti-people decision and a trend in the new Tinubu. Tinubu that used to be in SDP, following Abiola everywhere doing Hope 93, has practically changed to the side of the money people.

They see you as a customer, not a citizen. If you have twins and triplets in your house, Tinubu is going to think of twins tax or ‘multiple childbirth tax.’ He’s just thinking of how to collect more money. It’s wrong,” he said.

He warned that the tariff will ultimately fall on ordinary Nigerians, especially given current economic hardships.

“If you put 15 per cent tariffs on imported petrol, who is going to pay for it? It’s going to be paid by the person who buys the petrol at the filling station,” Adebayo added.

Lagos communities groan over collapsed roads, perennial flooding.

For a couple of years, residents of some parts of Lagos State have been living in pain and fear.

This is attributable to the sorry-state of the roads across some communities, a development that has also led to the blockage of drainage systems in such environments and consequent flooding, which has rendered scores homeless.

Of particular interest is the Oyadiran Estate in the Sabo axis of Yaba, Lagos, where residents live in constant fear and frustration as the once-serene neighbourhood has become a nightmare of broken roads, blocked drainages and knee-deep floods whenever it rains.

What used to be a smooth drive through the estate has turned into a stretch of gullies and craters. Deep potholes have eaten deep into the asphalt, leaving gaping holes filled with muddy water. Vehicles now struggle to navigate the dilapidated stretch, while pedestrians tread carefully on the narrow edges of the damaged road to avoid slipping into stagnant pools.

On rainy days, the situation worsens. The drainage channels, many of them clogged with plastic waste and silt overflow easily, sending torrents of water cascading into homes and shops. Residents recount how, within minutes of a heavy downpour, their streets turn into a river, with water gushing through compounds and submerging ground-floor apartments. Motorists lament the danger they face while navigating the bad road on a daily basis.

Describing what residents face on a daily basis, Kunle Adebayo described the experience as tortuous. “It is a moment of agony passing through the road every day. I have been repairing my car almost every day because of this bad road.

“Nobody is ready to fix it. The local government has made countless promises but none has produced any positive result. They would come, make promises and go and we would never see them again.”

“However, during the election, the politicians would come with their promises. They would promise heaven and earth, even to build bridges where there is no river, but at the end of the day, when they get to office, they would not remember any of those promises. We haven’t seen anything, they are all failed promises,” he told DAILY POST.

Opposition Kicks As National Assembly Moves To Shift 2027 Elections To 2026.

Opposition in the country is enraged over a fresh bid by the National Assembly to move the 2027 presidential and governorship elections to November 2026.

The proposal is part of amendments to the 2022 Electoral Act, which seeks to move the elections forward by about six months to allow all pre and post-election litigations to be concluded before the May 29, 2027, handover date.

If the bid is successful, the presidential and gubernatorial elections would be conducted in November 2026, rather than the traditional February or March dates.

The proposal forms part of the draft amendments to the 2022 Electoral Act, which stipulate that elections for both offices must be held no later than 185 days before the expiration of the incumbent’s tenure on May 29.

Section 4(7) of the proposed amendment states that “elections into the office of the president and governor of a state shall be held not later than 185 days before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of the office.”

For legislative elections, Section 4(5) of the proposed amendment provides that “elections into the state houses of assembly and the National Assembly shall be held not later than 185 days before the date on which each of the houses stands dissolved.”

At Monday’s joint public hearing, the House Committee on Electoral Matters, chaired by Adebayo Balogun, argued that moving the polls to November 2026 would help “ensure that all manner of election litigations are dispensed with before the swearing-in of winners.”

Balogun stated that the goal was to create sufficient time for the resolution of election petitions, as the committee also proposed an amendment that would reduce the 180-day tribunal judgment period to 90 days.

Nigeria Seeks just $2bn China Loan to Build National Super Grid, Tackle Power Deficit — Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.

Nigeria is negotiating a $2 billion loan with China’s Export-Import Bank to fund the construction of a new “super grid” designed to resolve the nation’s chronic electricity shortages and stimulate industrial expansion.

Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu disclosed this at an economic summit in Abuja on Monday, explaining that the proposed transmission network will connect the country’s eastern and western regions — home to most of Nigeria’s industrial users. He said the project forms part of government efforts to decentralize power generation and encourage major industrial consumers who abandoned the unreliable national grid to reconnect.

“It’s part of our strategy to decentralize power generation and bring back heavy commercial users who left the grid because of its instability,” Adelabu stated.

Nigeria’s power sector remains one of the biggest obstacles to economic growth.
Despite an installed capacity of about 13 gigawatts, the national grid delivers only a fraction of that to more than 200 million citizens, frequently suffering system collapses. By contrast, South Africa, with a quarter of Nigeria’s population, generates around 70 gigawatts.

Adelabu noted that the widespread shift to self-generation now accounts for nearly half of Nigeria’s total electricity use. The planned super grid, he said, will boost transmission efficiency and deliver more power to industrial zones. The Federal Executive Council has already approved the project’s financing plan.

The initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, which include fuel subsidy removal, tax law overhaul, improved oil sector security, and efforts to enhance the financial stability of the power industry.

Adelabu also revealed that recent electricity tariff adjustments for urban consumers have strengthened revenue in the sector, rising by 70% in 2024, with projections to grow another 41% to ₦2.4 trillion ($1.6 billion) by year’s end.

Properties worth millions destroyed as fire razes shops in Ibadan.

Goods worth millions of naira were destroyed when fire gutted 14 out of 42 shops at Ogundipe Market, Agodi Gate, in Ibadan North Local Council.

The incident took place in the early hours of Wednesday, September 24.

Confirming the incident, the Special Adviser on Fire Reform and Chairman of the Fire Services Agency, Moroof Adebayo Akinwande, said no lives were lost in the fire outbreak.

He explained that the fire was reported at 3:50 a.m. by a resident, Mr Sulaiman, and that personnel led by T.K. Olayiwola promptly responded.

“Upon arrival, we found 14 shops well alight. We swiftly curtailed the fire and prevented it from spreading to other nearby shops. No casualties were recorded,” he said.

Akinwande added that properties worth billions of naira were saved through the efforts of the fire service, while investigation is ongoing to determine the cause.

He urged traders to be more conscious of fire hazards and to install extinguishers in their shops to prevent small outbreaks from escalating.

When protectors become predators.

IF Nigeria remains the same by 2027, then let no one be surprised if war breaks out. Hunger is already chewing deep into the bone marrow of the nation. Nigerians are gasping under economic hardship, yet while poverty stares them in the face, harassment from those in uniform crushes their very spirit. Must Nigerians suffer hunger and still live under constant intimidation? The danger today is not only the bandits in the forest but also the criminals in multicolored uniforms roaming our streets. These officers — police, vigilantes, Amotekun — have turned their duty into tyranny. They trample the dignity of citizens in the mud and forget that even during an arrest, a citizen still has rights. The use of force is only lawful when a suspect attempts to flee or threatens violence, not when an officer wants to extort money. Extortion has become their trademark. Just recently, a young man on Oyo State’s Ogbomoso road made a live video, crying out to Nigerians and VeryDarkMan, as he was harassed by a police officer. His load was scattered across the road because he refused to pay ₦200. The officer shamelessly defended himself, saying: “Did I beat you?” — yet he never denied scattering the young man’s belongings or requesting ₦200. For ₦200, a man’s dignity was thrown on the highway. What then is the difference between these officers and the criminals in the bush?

At 5pm on July 13, a National Youth Service Corps member, Jennifer Eloho, was brutalised by Anambra security operatives, otherwise known as Agunechemba — vigilantes established to support police operations and safeguard local communities. Armed with guns, they stormed the corps members’ lodge in Oba, Idemili Local Government Area, accusing them of being internet fraudsters. A video of the beating went viral despite her cries for help. Jennifer was not only beaten — her dignity was thrown into the bin. If vigilantes empowered to protect communities can turn against unarmed youths serving their nation, then who is safe? In July 2025, another viral video from Adebayo area of Ado-Ekiti showed police officers trying to gain forceful entry into an apartment in broad daylight. The resident, Michael, captured the incident and shared it on X (formerly Twitter). Up till today, the police are still “investigating.” No officer has been named, no punishment announced, no justice seen. The silence of the police force is louder than any explanation — it smells of complicity. In April 2025, a lady in Ise-Orun, Ekiti State, accused a police officer of stabbing her father. Her testimony, captured on Punch Newspaper’s site, is chilling: her younger brother had a quarrel with a female classmate, which escalated until the girl called her boyfriend. When they stormed the house, they met only the elder brother. She narrated: “One of them went inside first and my brother started challenging the police officer — asking what did he do and why they were taking him to the station. In response, the officer started harassing him physically. At that point, the elder brother called my father to come and see what was happening. When my father came to separate the fight, another police officer stabbed him in the belly. Fortunately, my father used his hand to block the knife, and it tore his hand instead.”

Container Truck Crushes Tricycle In Lagos Accident.

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has confirmed a fatal accident involving a container-laden truck and a commercial tricycle along the Ijora Causeway, inward Ijora 7Up.

Lagos – Accident: The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has confirmed a fatal accident involving a container-laden truck and a commercial tricycle along the Ijora Causeway, inward Ijora 7Up.

According to a press statement released by Adebayo Taofiq, Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment at LASTMA, the incident occurred earlier today when a 40-foot container truck, bearing registration number XP 368 AKD, lost control and overturned on a moving tricycle with passengers on board.

“The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) confirms the occurrence of a tragic accident along Ijora Causeway, inward Ijora 7Up.

The incident involved a 40-foot container truck which fell on a commercial tricycle with unsuspecting passengers,” the statement read.

According to the statement, “Preliminary findings indicate that the articulated vehicle, while attempting a precarious maneuver beneath the Ijora Bridge, lost control and consequently capsized, fatally crushing on to a tricycle in its path. Regrettably, two passengers among them a serving Police Officer were killed instantly.”

“The remains of the deceased Police Officer were subsequently conveyed to a morgue at Yaba by security operatives, while grief-stricken relatives of the second victim, a female passenger, hastened to the scene to retrieve the remains of their loved one.”

“In a valiant rescue operation spearheaded by LASTMA operatives in concert with allied emergency responders, two additional victims, including the tricycle operator, were extricated alive, though they sustained severe bilateral leg fractures.”

Five Cheat Death In Lagos Road Crashes.

Two individuals sustained serious injuries while three others were rescued unhurt in separate road crashes over the weekend in the Mile 2 and Surulere areas of Lagos State.

It took timely interventions of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) to rescue victims.

According to a statement on Sunday by LASTMA’s spokesperson, Mr. Adebayo Taofiq, the first accident occurred at Olohunsogo Bus Stop, inward Mile 2, where a Toyota Camry crashed into a stationary Scania truck.

The impact left the Camry driver and a passenger seriously injured.

He said emergency responders from LASTMA arrived at the scene quickly and extricated both victims, who were later rushed to Ademola Hospital, opposite the Ijanikin Police Station, for immediate medical attention.

Adebayo stated that preliminary investigations indicated that the Camry driver was travelling at excessive speed, lost control, and rammed into the parked truck.

The driver of the stationary vehicle was taken into custody by LASTMA officials, while police officers from the Ijanikin Division provided necessary security support at the scene.

“Preliminary inquiries revealed that the ghastly incident was precipitated by the Camry driver’s reckless indulgence in excessive speeding, which ultimately resulted in the fatal loss of vehicular control.

SDP’s Adewole Adebayo: “Tinubu Must Not Remain in Power Beyond 2027”

Former Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has cautioned that it would be a grave mistake for Nigeria if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains in office beyond 2027.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Post on Thursday, September 4, 2025, Adebayo emphasized that leadership renewal is critical for Nigeria’s progress.

> “President Tinubu is not supposed to be there. And it would be a mistake for the country, even for him personally, and for any other person, to keep him beyond 2027,” Adebayo declared.

He argued that fresh leadership and new ideas are needed to tackle Nigeria’s challenges and restore effective governance. According to him, opposition coalitions must focus not just on removing Tinubu but on providing credible solutions.

Adebayo further noted that Nigeria’s political culture often encourages leaders to cling to power without accountability, stressing that citizens should prioritize ethics, principles, and integrity over party loyalty.

He insisted that the future of Nigeria depends on electing leaders capable of ethical and transformative governance, not recycling old systems of power.

2027: Southeast Votes For Tinubu Will Shock Nigerians, Obi Doesn’t Matter – Shittu
By Matthew Atungwu | Published September 4, 2025

Former Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, says President Bola Tinubu will secure surprising levels of support from the Southeast in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time, Shittu argued that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is gaining ground in the region, crediting Works Minister Dave Umahi and others for swaying sentiment in Tinubu’s favour.

He dismissed the influence of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, saying: “It doesn’t matter. What is important is for Tinubu to win. Even if to win by 10 votes, I can assure you Bola Ahmed Tinubu is going to win.”

“If nothing improves, he should go home and thank God he was president for 4 years.”

Presidency Gives Official Reason for Nigeria’s Empty Booth at TICAD 9 in Japan.

The Presidency has explained why Nigeria’s booth was empty on the opening day of the ongoing 9th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9) in Yokohama, Japan.

The controversy began after a viral post by Idris Bello, co-founder of The Wennovation Hub, who expressed disappointment at finding Nigeria’s booth unmanned.

Bello, who said he was “ashamed” by the situation, noted that he had to personally step in to engage visitors and potential investors. The incident led to widespread criticism, with many Nigerians questioning the government’s preparedness for the global investment forum.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga dismissed the criticism as “misrepresentation,” stressing that Nigeria’s participation at TICAD 9 was focused on high-level engagements rather than trade exhibitions.

“The trending social media narrative about an empty booth labelled ‘NIGERIA’ totally misrepresented our country’s mission and activities at the conference,” Onanuga stated.

According to him, President Bola Tinubu is leading a delegation prioritising bilateral and multilateral negotiations with international partners in key sectors, including power, industry, and agriculture. The statement highlighted meetings scheduled with Toyota Corporation, CFAO, UN-Habitat, UNDP, and the International Finance Corporation, among others.

Onanuga also disclosed that the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, is negotiating major JICA-funded projects, including the Lagos-Ogun Power Transmission System Improvement and renewable energy scale-up initiatives. The Bank of Industry is likewise engaged in financing talks with global institutions.

He emphasised that Nigeria’s official schedule does not include participation in the open trade exhibition, which has been mistaken for the country’s main platform at the event.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had earlier clarified that the booth was not abandoned but simply “not yet opened” and was scheduled for inauguration on Thursday, the second day of the conference.

Father of Kogi Photojournalist Allegedly Killed By Correctional Officer Dies In Lokoja.

James Aiyepeku, father of Kogi photojournalist Ayobami Aiyepeku, who was allegedly murdered by a Nigeria Correctional Service officer—has died in Lokoja, after the suspect reportedly took his own life, deepening the tragedy that has shaken the state.

James’s death comes just weeks after Ayobami was gruesomely murdered on 24th July 2025. The prime suspect, Adebayo Pelumi, reportedly lured Ayobami to a residence along Government Residential Area in Lokoja, where the killing took place.

The remains of Ayobami were discovered along Zone Eight Road in Lokoja a day after Pelumi allegedly committed suicide in a hotel in the city.

Arise News has learned that the trauma of Ayobami’s death severely affected James’s health, as he was one of the family’s main breadwinners.

The killing of Ayobami Aiyepeku has sparked widespread outrage in Kogi State. Friends, family, and civil society groups are demanding justice for the slain journalist.

PoliticsJUST IN: Governor Oyebanji Declares Bid For Second Term In Ekiti.

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has officially declared his intention to seek a second term in office, citing widespread public endorsement and political support from stakeholders across the state.
Naija News reports that the governor made his declaration on Monday during a meeting with members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Central Working Committee at the party’s secretariat in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.

Governor Oyebanji said encouragement from traditional rulers, civil servants, artisans, youth groups, market women, drivers’ unions, professional bodies, and political leaders across party lines played a major role in his decision to run again.

“I have listened to you and I am formally informing the party that I will run for a second term. So, I plead for your support and prayers and by His grace, I will continue to respect you,” the governor declared.

He added that the move was to consolidate on the achievements of his first term and sustain the delivery of quality governance in Ekiti State.

Expressing gratitude to the APC leadership, Oyebanji said, “Let me start by appreciating you. Thank you for your support, endurance, and for holding the party. We are extremely grateful for your prayers and understanding, and I also thank you on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the endorsement.”

He further appreciated President Tinubu for his continuous support, stating that the President’s economic policies had fast-tracked development in Ekiti State.

Addressing speculations of internal conflict, the governor stressed that the APC remained a united family.

“Let me also assure you that there is no crisis in the leadership of APC. Our topmost leader is former Governor Niyi Adebayo, followed by former Governor Kayode Fayemi. There is no crisis in the leadership,” he said.

Oyebanji reaffirmed his loyalty to past governors of the state, describing them as “leaders of the party and foundational pillars of the APC.”
