Tragedy as bride slumps on wedding day in Ogbomoso  In Ogbomoso, Oyo state, tragedy struck over the weekend when a bride passed away the morning after the day her wedding was scheduled to take place. It is one of the tragic tales that emphasises the enigmatic nature of life. Our correspondence gathered that the groom, Abiodun Oluwadamilare and Rebecca Oyedotun, who was the bride but never became a wife, set Saturday, August 19th 2023, as the day for their wedding. The groom, who is from Abeokuta in Ogun State, had arrived in Ogbomoso with his family and friends by Thursday, August 17, as preparations were well under way.

That video was from a 2019 protest when I and other aggrieved APC Youth stakeholders stood against the appointment of some opposition members into offices under the former President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan. Those spreading that video now are, at best confused, and, at worst, hateful of my person and want to denigrate my good name. President Tinubu is at liberty to pick his cabinet and other members of his team in his quest to bring Nigeria out of its econo
