Nearly two years later, many of those promises are now becoming visible realities across different parts of the state. Infrastructure is the centrepiece of the administratio...

However, while those attacks are condemnable, they also sadly reflect the consequence of a political atmosphere that has been allowed to deteriorate unchecked for weeks. For some time now, supporters of Pastor Ize-Iyamu, driven largely by the belief that the governor was allegedly giving preferent...
