I am being hunted for supporting Peter Obi – Isaac Fayose [VIDEO].

Businessman Isaac Fayose says his support for Peter Obi has made him a target of attacks.

Fayose said this on Sunday in a video he shared on his verified Facebook page.

The video was his response to a post by an unknown blogger who linked him to a rape claim.

Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, denied the claim, saying it was cooked up to spoil his name because he refused to dump the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress,, Peter Obi.

According to Fayose, this is what happens when a person turns down offers from the All Progressives Congress, APC, stating that the party will then join forces to pull the person down.

2026 Lagos Trade Fair: We’re poised to turn stability into prosperity — Tinubu.

President Bola Tinubu has said Nigeria’s next economic priority is to translate the gains of ongoing reforms into prosperity through enterprise, industrial growth and expanded trade.

Tinubu spoke at the weekend, at the opening of the 40th Lagos International Trade Fair, organised by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.

“The emergency is over. The foundation has been repaired. Our task now is to turn stability into prosperity, and enterprise is at the heart of that task”, he said.

Osun workers begin strike over withheld LG funds.

The Nigeria Labour Congress has directed workers in Osun State to embark on a three-day sympathy strike beginning at midnight on Sunday to press for the release of statutory allocations due to local government areas in the state.

In a statement signed by the Osun NLC Chairman and Secretary, Christopher Arapasopo and Victor Amusan, respectively, and obtained in Osogbo on Sunday, the congress said the industrial action was in solidarity with the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees in the state.

The NLC leaders said the congress had earlier issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government and the Osun State Government over the continued withholding of local government statutory allocations.

They, however, said the issues raised in the ultimatum remained unresolved.
