The group also made a passionate appeal to the residents of Oyo State, urging them to prepare early and rally support for Dr. Adedeji, whom they described as the ideal candidate with the requisite capabilities to further transform the state. The forum commended Dr. Adedeji’s transformative leadership at FIRS, emphasizing his proven ability to deliver economic progress and accountability—qualities they believe are essential for unlocking Oyo State’s immense potential. Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, the Convener of the Forum, Elder Jelili Akande, said: “Dr. Adedeji’s tenure as FIRS Chairman has been marked by innovation, transparency, and a focus on results. Under his stewardship, Nigeria’s tax administration system has undergone unprecedented reforms, leveraging technology to streamline processes, increase compliance, and boost revenue generation. The OSF believes these achievements serve as a blueprint for transforming Oyo State into a model of economic self-reliance.” “Oyo State needs a visionary leader who understands how to create wealth and ensure its equitable distribution,” an OSF representative remarked. “Dr. Adedeji has demonstrated this capability at the federal level, and we are confident he can replicate this success in our state.” The forum further highlighted Oyo State’s overreliance on federal allocations as a significant obstacle to sustainable development. Despite its abundant resources and industrious population, the state struggles with revenue generation, limiting its capacity to fund critical projects. According to the forum, Dr. Adedeji’s expertise in maximizing internally generated revenue (IGR) offers a sustainable solution to this longstanding challenge. “By modernizing Oyo’s tax administration system, Dr. Adedeji envisions a transparent, technology-driven framework that will expand the tax base and reduce leakages. His approach prioritizes fairness and inclusivity, ensuring that every taxable entity contributes to the state’s growth while making compliance seamless for businesses and individuals alike,” Akande said. At the heart of Dr. Adedeji’s vision for Oyo State is a commitment to transparency and accountability. According to Akande, his leadership at FIRS introduced systems that allowed taxpayers to track how their contributions were utilized—an innovation that restored public trust and encouraged voluntary compliance.

Investments in healthcare, education, infrastructure, and job creation will take center stage, with a clear focus on improving the quality of life for all Oyo residents,” Akande added. Oyo State, the forum noted, is uniquely positioned to become an economic powerhouse in Nigeria, given its vast agricultural resources, emerging industrial hubs, and strategic location. Dr. Adedeji’s plan involves harnessing these opportunities by creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive. “By fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, Dr. Adedeji aims to drive job creation, boost productivity, and significantly increase the state’s revenue base. He envisions channeling increased revenue into developing critical infrastructure such as roads, schools, hospitals, and water supply systems—projects that directly impact residents’ daily lives. These developments will not only enhance living standards but also make the state more attractive to investors,” Akande said. The OSF concluded by calling for broad support for Dr. Adedeji’s potential candidacy. “His achievements at FIRS have earned him widespread respect and admiration, positioning him as a frontrunner in the race for Oyo’s leadership. The forum urges residents to seize this opportunity to elect a leader who combines vision, expertise, and integrity.” “This is not just about winning an election; it’s about redefining the future of our state,” the OSF representative remarked. “Dr. Adedeji has the track record and vision to transform Oyo into a state we can all be proud of.” Get real-time news updates from Tribune Online!

Trucordia Teams Up with NHL's Utah Hockey Club as Founding SponsorAround 10:25 PM on December 3, 2024 (KST), South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol appeared on national television and declared “martial law” for the first time since 1979. For the next six hours, Koreans remained awake and alert through the night, watching the chaos unfold and bracing for the worst . It was at 4:30 AM on December 4, 2024 (KST), soon after 190 of the 190 attending National Assembly members voted to block martial law , when President Yoon accepted the parliament’s decision, withdrew the military forces, and presided over a Cabinet meeting to approve the resolution to revoke martial law. President Yoon Suk Yeol Withdraws Emergency Martial Law Considering the current political landscape in Korea, where the Democratic and other parties —referred to as the yadang or the “opposition party” as a whole—hold a whopping majority of 190 out of the 300 seats in the National Assembly, it might have been “a losing battle from the start,” according to Money Today . So then, why did President Yoon declare martial law and what is going to happen next? When declaring martial law, President Yoon cited “pro-North, anti-state forces” as the problem and claimed he will “rebuild and defend the free Republic of Korea” from such forces “plundering the freedom and happiness of the people.” Dear citizens. I hereby declare martial law to protect the free Republic of Korea from the threats posed by the North Korean communist forces and to eradicate the shameless pro-North, anti-state forces that are plundering the freedom and happiness of our people. This measure is taken to uphold the order of our free constitutional system. Through this martial law, I will rebuild and defend the free Republic of Korea, which is teetering on the brink of ruin. To this end, I pledge to thoroughly eliminate the anti-state forces that have persistently engaged in destructive acts against our nation. This is an unavoidable step to safeguard the freedom and security of our people, ensure the sustainability of our nation against subversive threats, and pass on a proper country to future generations. I will work swiftly to eradicate these anti-state forces and restore normalcy to the nation. While this declaration of martial law may cause inconvenience to law-abiding citizens who uphold the values of the Constitution, I will do my utmost to minimize these disruptions. This measure is essential for ensuring the enduring continuity of the free Republic of Korea. It does not alter our commitment to contributing to and upholding our responsibilities in the international community. As your President, I earnestly appeal to you. I place my trust solely in you, the people, and I will dedicate my entire being to defending the free Republic of Korea. Please believe in me. Thank you. — President Yoon Suk Yeol Who are the “pro-North, anti-state forces,” tough? According to BBC Korea , President Yoon has taken on a much tougher stance on North Korea compared to previous presidents, and he has often referred to the opposition party as “pro-North” without providing specific evidence. BBC Korea also pointed out that since April 2024, when the opposition party secured a sweeping victory in the general elections, President Yoon has been “in a de facto ‘lame-duck’ state.” So, when Yoon expressed dissatisfaction toward the opposition party again in his statement addressing the nation as he lifted martial law, the motivation became rather clear. I urge the National Assembly to immediately cease the reckless acts of paralyzing state functions through repeated impeachments, legislative manipulation, and budget obstruction. — President Yoon Suk Yeol President Yoon’s administration has been unable to pass any of its desired legislation—which he called “legislative manipulation.” In addition, as of Late November 2024, the opposition party proposed a bill to significantly cut the government’s budget—a type of legislation the president cannot veto. This, he referred to as “budget obstruction.” Most importantly, as President Yoon’s approval rating plummeted amid his multiple corruption scandals—including the one surrounding the First Lady and her Dior bag, the opposition party pursued fierce impeachment proceedings against President Yoon’s line of prosecutors, Cabinet members, and other key personnel for failing to investigate the scandals. In other words, based on the statements and previous struggles that his administration was facing, BBC Korea reported that “President Yoon had taken this extreme measure in response to a series of political failures.” Experts suggest that President Yoon was driven into a situation where he had no choice but to invoke martial law, a form of military governance, as a tactic to defend against political attacks. — BBC Korea Now that his “extreme measure” has fallen apart, what will happen to President Yoon? Money Today noted that, although President Yoon accepted the National Assembly’s demand to lift martial law, the aftermath of his declaration is expected to be unfathomable. Meet Ahn Gwi Ryeong, The Badass Woman Who Took On An Armed Korean Soldier The opposition party has since claimed that President Yoon’s declaration of martial law should be subject to charges of “rebellion,” an act of armed resistance against the authority of the state. According to Article 60 of the South Korean Constitution, the president is not subject to criminal prosecution during their term except in cases of rebellion or treason. Therefore, if the charge of rebellion is applied to President Yoon, even a sitting president could face prosecution and punishment. For rebellion, the penalty can include the death sentence, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for more than five years. Even if such a charge is not applied, it is highly likely President Yoon will face impeachment proceedings. As of December 4, 2024, the “Yoon Suk Yeol Impeachment Coalition of National Assembly Members” announced plans to initiate a motion for impeachment against President Yoon. According to The JoongAng , the Impeachment Coalition held a press conference at the National Assembly on the same day and stated, “President Yoon has opened the door to impeachment himself,” adding, “Now, impeachment of President Yoon has become something that must be done.” We will push forward with the impeachment motion and prepare for what comes after impeachment swiftly. Due to the reckless declaration of martial law, the Yoon administration is now over. The president and those around him have clearly shown how unconstitutional and anti-democratic they are. — Yoon Suk Yeol Impeachment Coalition of National Assembly Members What's Happening In Korea Meet Ahn Gwi Ryeong, The Badass Woman Who Took On An Armed Korean Soldier President Yoon Suk Yeol Withdraws Emergency Martial Law South Korean National Assembly Votes To Block President’s “Emergency Martial Law” South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Declares “Emergency Martial Law” View All (387)
