Social media critic and former presidential aide Reno Omokri has claimed that the new Morayo album released by Afrobeats megastar Wizkid has generated more revenue in two weeks than what Osun State recorded as Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in the whole of 2023.
He said this as he took a swipe at Governor Ademola Adeleke, noting that Osun has failed to make progress regarding revenue generation under the current administration.
He stated that Osun has the lowest IGR in the South-West, wondering why a state like Ekiti with fewer mineral resources, half of Osun’s population and two-thirds of its landmass, was recording better performance.
Omokri argued that Governor Adeleke would have done better to improve the state’s IGR if he had focused more on governance than dancing at every opportunity.
Quoting data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), he said Osun reported ₦27.93 billion IGR in 2023, compared to Ekiti with ₦32.10 billion during the same period.
“Please Fact-Check me: In two weeks, Wizkid’s Morayo album has generated more revenue than the total Internally Generated Revenue raised by Osun State in 2023.
“Perhaps if Senator Ademola Adeleke were more focused on governance than he was on dance, Osun State would not have the lowest internally generated revenue in the Southwest.
“You can imagine a Governor twerking while his state is sinking! I like dancing myself. But I will not be dancing while the people I govern are grimacing. Once or twice is okay. But when it becomes habitual, it can be politically fatal.
“According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Osun State generated less internal tax revenue than Ekiti State. Please note that Ekiti has fewer mineral resources than Osun, only half her population, and just two-thirds of her landmass.

“Total Internally Generated Revenue of Osun State in 2023 was ₦27.93 billion—the lowest in the Southwest. Ekiti generated ₦32.10 billion during the same period,” Omokri wrote on X on Friday, December 6, 2024.
Omokri says Davido used Adeleke as a yardstick
Recall that Adeleke’s nephew and Afrobeats artist, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido, recently caused a storm on social media after saying Nigeria’s greatest problem is a lack of good leadership.
Speaking on a podcast in the United States, Davido advised black Americans who might be considering relocating to Nigeria following Donald Trump‘s reemergence as president to remain in their country.
He said “The Nigerian economy is in shambles,” adding that the West African nation is plagued with bad leadership.
Meanwhile, Omokri attributed Davido’s comments to what he observed from his uncle’s performance in Osun State.

He also suggested that Wizkid should share the secret of his album’s early commercial success with Osun State to help them ramp up revenue generation.
“This is what Davido meant when he said, “I just feel the only thing is just missing is just the right leaders to lead us.
“Since Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, AKA Wizkid, has been able to break global album streaming records by generating over one hundred million streams with his Morayo album in just two short weeks, I would recommend that he go to Osun State to teach Governor Adeleke how to increase revenue,” Omokri added.
Please Fact-Check me: In two weeks, Wizkid's Morayo album has generated more revenue than the total Internally Generated Revenue raised by Osun State in 2023.

John![[VIDEO]: Akpabio's ally calls Ezekwesili an ‘insult to womanhood’ in heated exchange over Natasha's case 3 a8285da9 aa23 41a4 8dae 069f7b1685a1](https://turo247newz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/a8285da9-aa23-41a4-8dae-069f7b1685a1.jpeg)
A heated altercation broke out on Tuesday, March 25, between Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi of Ebonyi North and former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili during a Senate committee hearing.
The confrontation occurred at the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions session, which was reviewing a fresh petition submitted by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Ezekwesili was present alongside Abiola Akiode, Akpoti-Uduaghan’s counsel, and petitioner Zubairu Yakubu.
Tensions escalated when Yakubu attempted to speak while committee chairman Neda Imaseun was addressing the session.
He was asked to mute his microphone, prompting Ezekwesili to intervene.
Nwaebonyi, appearing as a witness for Senate President Godswill Akpabio, interrupted her, leading to an immediate clash.
“Compose yourself and stop making noise,” Ezekwesili told the senator.
The remark triggered an explosive response from Nwaebonyi, who shot back angrily.
“You’re a fool. What do you mean? Why are you talking to me like that? I will not take it. You’re an insult to womanhood. People like you cannot be here,” he retorted.

Ezekwesili did not hold back, calling Nwaebonyi a “hooligan,” further aggravating the situation.
The fiery exchange briefly disrupted the proceedings before order was restored.
In the aftermath, committee chairman Imaseun announced that the matter had been taken to court, abruptly ending the hearing.

Reps initiate process to make appeal court final arbiter for governorship election petitions

Published

John
A bill seeking to designate the Court of Appeal as the final authority for determining governorship election petitions has successfully passed its second reading in the House of Representatives. The bill, sponsored by Nnamdi Ezechi, the lawmaker representing Ndokwa East/Ndokwa West/Ukwuani federal constituency in Delta State, aims to amend Section 246 of the 1999 Constitution. Under the current provision, Section 246 stipulates that decisions by the Court of Appeal regarding election petitions related to national and state houses of assembly elections are final. Ezechis proposed amendment seeks to extend this finality to governorship elections as well. If passed, the law would prevent gubernatorial election disputes from reaching the Supreme Court. Ezechi, who introduced the bill in 2024, stated that the intention behind the legislation is to reduce the delays and costs associated with post-election litigation. The new law would eliminate the need for appeals to the Supreme Court, which has sometimes reversed decisions made by the Court of Appeal in gubernatorial cases. Recent cases highlight the issues with the current system. In 2023, the tribunal and Court of Appeal annulled the election of Caleb Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as governor of Plateau State, but the Supreme Court later overturned this ruling in January 2024, reaffirming Mutfwangs victory. Similarly, the Court of Appeal voided Abba Yusufs election as governor of Kano State, but the Supreme Court nullified this decision as well. If the bill is passed, it could significantly streamline the process and prevent further appeals, providing more stability to the countrys electoral system. The bill is now moving forward for further deliberation in the House of Representatives.The post Reps initiate process to make appeal court final arbiter for governorship election petitions appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
