APC Leaders Lambast Faceless Group, Debunk Sunday Dare’s Alleged Anti-party Activities
Notable leaders of the Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have declared support for the Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Chief Sunday Dare, declaring that any group within the party that tries to rubbish his efforts to ensure the party’s victory at state and national levels is further destroying the chances of their sponsors.
A leader of the party close to Honourable Dare, who spoke on a news item that circulated on the internet on Tuesday, purporting that the minister was engaging in anti-party activities, said the development was a plot that has already failed.
Craving for anonymity, while he said “the purveyors of the divisionism are causing more problems for the unpopular and generally unaccepted gubernatorial candidate of the party.
The minister’s ally fingered the state APC
governorship candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin, and some reactionary elements in his company in the unwarranted attack and blackmail of the minister.
The online report had reported that “a political group, Ojo-Oola Oyo, said the Minister of Sports and Youths Development, Sunday Dare, would
later regret his anti-party activities and recent secret endorsement of the governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, for a second term.
But the party leaders said the statement came from a “faceless group in the party who are out to dent Sunday Dare’s reputation with
amateur, cheap and crude blackmail,” adding that “the quality and characters of the people behind it do not warrant a response from the
minister.”

FRSC Corps Marshal Beseeches Traditional Rulers To Support Campaign Against Road Traffic Crashes
Joel Ajayi
In his efforts to enhance road safety across all roads in Nigeria, the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Shehu Mohammed has emphasised the importance of collaboration with various stakeholders, especially traditional institutions.
He made the emphasis in the course of his end of the year traffic monitoring on the nation’s highways when he visited His Imperial Majesty Oba (Dr) Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye III, the Olowo of Owo and Paramount Ruler of Owo Kingdom in Ondo State today 22 December, 2024.
The monitoring commenced from Abuja _Lokoja expressway through Obajana to Owo, Ondo State to ascertain the traffic situation on critical corridors. He solicited the support of the traditional ruler due to the strategic positioning of Owo town being a critical corridor that links South West to South South and North Central geopolitical zones of the country.
He believes that the influence and authority of traditional leaders within their communities are instrumental in promoting road safety awareness and encouraging compliance with traffic regulations.
By engaging traditional institutions, FRSC aims to leverage the respect and trust traditional leaders command to disseminate information about safe road practices, the dangers of speeding, and the necessity of vehicle maintenance.
This strategic partnership is part of a broader initiative by the FRSC to reduce road traffic crashes and fatalities. By involving traditional rulers, the Corps seeks to create a more inclusive approach to road safety, recognizing that community-driven efforts can significantly complement governmental policies and enforcement measures.
In addition to collaborating with traditional leaders, Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed also called for the active participation of commuters and transport unions in preventing road crashes. He emphasised that passengers should speak out against reckless driving and that transport unions must lead by example in preventing overloading and alcohol/drug-impaired driving.
FRSC will continue to engage in public enlightenment campaigns, conduct research on road safety, and implement measures aimed at creating a safer motoring environment in Nigeria. The collaboration with traditional rulers is a testament to the Corps’ commitment to involving all segments of society in the quest for safer roads.
