**THE BETRAYAL OF LOYALTY IN APC: A HEARTBREAKING REWARD SYSTEM (Series 1)**

By Otunba (Dr) Abdulfalil Abayomi Odunowo

The Ginika Tor Tragedy: How APC Crushes Devoted Souls and Rewards Schemers A Wake-Up Call Before It’s Too Late

Dear APC National Hierarchy,

If the All Progressives Congress (APC) has any shred of conscience left, if it truly cares about the blood, sweat, and tears poured into its foundation by loyal patriots, then it must confront this painful truth: the party’s rewarding system is a cruel betrayal that is tearing us apart from the inside. Look no further than Ginika Tor a woman who sacrificed her life, her reputation, and her future for this party, only to be discarded like yesterday’s news. How can you sleep at night knowing that your silence and inaction are rewarding betrayal while punishing unwavering loyalty? This isn’t just politics; it’s a moral failing that could doom us all in 2027. Don’t let history remember you as the leaders who let the party bleed out from self-inflicted wounds.
This injustice isn’t abstract it’s personal, it’s heartbreaking, and it’s destroying the very soul of our party. Ginika’s story is a mirror reflecting your failures. Ignore it at your peril, for the growing whispers of discontent among the ranks will turn into a roar that engulfs us all.

1. Pre-Election Sacrifices: A Life Poured Out, Met with Indifference
Ginika Tor wasn’t just a supporter; she was a beacon of hope for APC in forgotten corners. Appointed as Federal Commissioner at the Federal Character Commission (FCC) in July 2020 under President Buhari, she could have coasted in comfort. Instead, she chose the hard path using her position to rally hearts and minds for APC. As founder of the Omaluegwuoku Progressive Initiative (OPI), she poured her own resources into breaking the chains of Igbo marginalization, daring to champion Tinubu in a region that shunned us. She built think-tanks, hosted town halls nationwide, and financed mobilizations that your senior leaders never bothered with. Where was your protection then? Your gratitude? This woman gave everything and you gave her nothing but abandonment.

2. Strategic Mobilization in the South-East: Facing Hostility Alone, While You Watched
In a geopolitical zone where APC was a whisper at best, Ginika charged into the fray. She preached a bold message: “The PDP’s empty promises have failed us give Tinubu a chance.” Her “Igbo Kwenu 4 Asiwaju” events pierced the resistance, creating visibility where none existed. She orchestrated high-profile gatherings, like the OPI Think Tank inauguration at Sheraton Abuja, even earning endorsements from Seyi Tinubu himself. She bridged divides, softened enmities, and built bridges you now cross without a backward glance. But ask yourselves: Did you shield her from the backlash? Or did you leave her exposed, vulnerable to the storms she braved for your victory? Your inaction is a stab in the back to every loyalist who risks it all.

3. Official Roles in Youth Mobilization: Honored on Paper, Betrayed in Reality By July 2022, APC couldn’t ignore her fire: Secretary of the APC Youth Wing National Task Force, Coordinator for Support Group Registration & Re-validation, National Deputy Coordinator for BAT Campaign, and “Global Ambassador” for Tinubu’s Mobilization Network. She stood as a pillar among youth and Igbo voters, her voice echoing across the nation. Yet, these titles meant nothing when push came to shove. You bestowed them, then turned away when she needed you most. How can a party that claims to value youth and unity treat its champions like disposable tools? This hypocrisy fuels the despair that’s spreading like wildfire through our base.

4. During the 2023 Campaign: A Lone Warrior’s Cry, Echoed by Your Silence
Ginika organized rallies, press conferences, and tours that breathed life into our campaign. At events like the “Day 52 Hangout” at Unity Fountain, she proclaimed Tinubu as “detribalised and fair-minded,” risking her safety in a region hostile to our cause. She united communities, preached harmony, and staked her entire legacy on our success. Meanwhile, many of you now basking in power stayed silent, waiting to reap what she sowed. Where were you when the threats came? When the isolation set in? Your absence wasn’t just neglect; it was a profound betrayal that breaks the hearts of those who believed in you.

5. Post-Election Nightmare: From Hero to Outcast Your Shameful Legacy
Victory should have brought honor, but for Ginika, it brought humiliation. In early 2024, the Enugu APC Chapter suspended her on baseless “anti-party” charges the very woman who built the structures you abandoned! The South-East Zonal Office ratified it, and where was the national leadership? The presidency she installed? Nowhere. Left defenseless, she faced attacks from civil society, painted as a villain while you protected the schemers. This isn’t a mistake; it’s a pattern of ingratitude that crushes spirits and erodes trust. How dare you let this happen? Your failure to intervene isn’t oversight it’s complicity in destroying the loyal hearts that carried you to power.

6. The Deeper Wound: APC’s System Rewards Betrayers, Punishes the Faithful, Ginika’s torment is no anomaly; it’s the rotten core of APC since 2015. The hardest workers are left unprotected. The greatest sacrificers are sidelined. Grassroots builders are forgotten post-victory. Internal plotters and latecomers snag the rewards. Loyalty? It’s punished, while gamesmanship thrives. This toxic cycle isn’t sustainable it’s a betrayal that breeds resentment, division, and ultimate collapse. National Hierarchy, feel the weight of this: Every ignored loyalist is a seed of rebellion. Continue this, and you’ll face a party in ruins, with no one left to fight for you.

7. The Dire Warning for 2027: Ignore This, and Watch Your Empire Crumble. If APC can’t protect its frontline warriors like Ginika, why should anyone risk their lives for you again? Her story screams a chilling message: “Sacrifice for APC, and you’ll be discarded.” This silent rage is boiling over nationwide in youth wings, state chapters, and among the forgotten faithful. Fail to act, fail to reward loyalty, and 2027 will be your reckoning. The opposition won’t need to attack; we’ll implode from within. National Hierarchy, this is your moment of truth: Rectify this injustice, or bear the guilt of the party’s downfall. The blood of broken loyalties will be on your hands.

**Stop the Dangerous Narrative: Nigeria’s Security Crisis Is Criminal Not Religious**

Mischaracterizing banditry and terrorism as a clash of faiths risks deepening distrust, fuelling division, and emboldening those who profit from chaos. Nigeria must confront this crisis with unity, clarity, and responsible public conversation.

By Otunba (Dr.) Abdulfalil Abayomi Odunowo
Ijebu Ode, Nigeria November 2025

Nigeria stands at a critical moral and political crossroads, and the way we speak about our national security challenges will determine whether we build peace or unintentionally escalate tension. In a period where criminal networks, banditry, Boko Haram, and violent extremist groups continue to threaten the stability of communities across the country, it is reckless and dangerously simplistic to frame this insecurity as a religious confrontation. The evidence is clear: these criminals are not acting on spiritual conviction; they are driven by the economics of kidnapping, illegal financing, territorial dominance, and political manipulation.

For instance, armed bandit groups in the North-West, often composed of ethnic Fulani herders, prey on settled farming communities regardless of faith, motivated largely by resource conflicts and criminal opportunism rather than religious ideology. Similarly, Boko Haram and its splinter group, the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), have evolved from ideological roots into entities sustained by extortion, looting, and human trafficking, exploiting instability for profit.

These groups have slaughtered both Muslims and Christians, destroyed mosques and churches, and abducted innocent schoolchildren whose only vulnerability was being unprotected. A comprehensive analysis of Boko Haram’s attacks on civilian locations between May 2011 and December 2020 reveals they targeted 83 churches, resulting in 1,521 deaths, and 72 mosques, leading to 2,017 deaths demonstrating that Muslims have often borne the brunt in the Muslim-majority Northeast.

For example, in 2014 alone, Boko Haram bombed mosques in Kano and Maiduguri, killing hundreds of Muslim worshippers during Friday prayers, while also attacking churches in the same region. More recently, in 2025, mass abductions like the kidnapping of over 300 students from a Catholic school in Kaduna were attributed to criminal gangs seeking ransom, not religious zeal, with similar incidents affecting Muslim communities in Zamfara and Kebbi states.

According to the National Human Rights Commission, April 2025 saw 570 killings and 278 kidnappings nationwide, predominantly linked to banditry and general criminality rather than sectarian motives. The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) reports that from December 2023 to November 2024, violence in Nigeria involved a mix of banditry, cultism, and herder-farmer clashes, with victims spanning all faiths and ethnicities.

To position this crisis as a war between faiths is to distort reality and hand victory to the architects of fear. Reports from organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations and the International Crisis Group emphasize that banditry is an organized criminal enterprise, not a jihad, with groups forming alliances based on profit-sharing rather than shared religious beliefs. The Nigerian government has repeatedly rejected claims of religious genocide, asserting that security challenges are criminal in nature, affecting Muslims and Christians alike, and requiring unified action against perpetrators.

Nigeria’s greatest strength lies in its diversity and shared humanity. Our ancestors lived side by side, traded together, intermarried, celebrated each other’s festivals, and defended one another long before modern political structures existed evident in historical inter-ethnic alliances across regions like the Southwest and North.

Allowing misinformation and sensational claims to divide us now only serves those who thrive on instability. Instead, we must insist on responsible communication, support evidence-based security reforms, demand accountability from institutions, and strengthen the collaboration between communities and security agencies. This is not the time for incitement or careless narratives; it is a time for clarity, courage, and collective action.

“Terrorism in Nigeria has no religion only victims.”

Nigeria’s path to peace will not come through suspicion or sectarian division, but through truth, unity, and a shared commitment to confronting crime as one people. The sooner we stop amplifying dangerous narratives and start working together with purpose and discipline, the sooner we can reclaim security, dignity, and national confidence.

**The Call of Destiny: Ijebu Must Rise**

*By Otunba (Dr) Abdulfalil Abayomi Odunowo*

In a sprawling nation like Nigeria, where diverse ethnic groups coexist, the richness of individual cultures often fades beneath the weight of administrative neglect. For the people of Ijebu, this neglect has morphed into a deep-seated frustration, stemming from the belief that their identity, dignity, and heritage are not adequately represented within the current political framework. The looming question hangs over every Ijebu heart: How much longer can we remain voiceless in a land that has witnessed us flourish? Our fate is intertwined with the historical whispers of our ancestors, screaming for recognition and elevation. The absence of an autonomous Ijebu State has caused our vibrant culture, aspirations, and memories to languish in the shadows of oblivion. Thus, the conflict emerges not a war of swords, but a war of identity.

Throughout history, the Ijebu people have faced myriad challenges that have sought to dilute their essence. Our fathers, who bore the immense weight of these struggles, fought valiantly for a hopeful tomorrow, paving the way for us to inherit their dreams. Now, as we stand on the precipice of a momentous decision, we find ourselves echoing their resolve. Who among us does not feel the weight of our past? The stories that our mothers whispered, the songs sung in our festivals, and the rich tapestry of our culture demand a renaissance. Every Ijebu soul has an inextinguishable fire burning within, a reminder that we are fighting for something greater than ourselves. Some may doubt our strength, some may mock our endeavors, and others may dare to silence us. Yet, we know not merely as individuals but as a collective that our destiny is calling. Will we answer?

If the journey demands sacrifice, if it imperils our peace, and if it threatens our comfort, we must be prepared to embrace the burden. For what we pursue is not mere convenience; it is a historical reclamation, a divine calling. The essence of our movement is anchored in the belief that to rise as Ijebu is to become unstoppable. We are fortified by perseverance, tenacity, faith, and unity. Memory binds us together, compelling us to rise as one, driven by an unwavering mandate from heaven and history. What we seek transcends personal ambition; it is a collective awakening fueled by the cries of our ancestors.

The solution is strikingly clear: Ijebu State must rise, with Ijebu-Ode designated as its rightful capital. This is not a mere dream; it is fate, and as we stand united, the heavens echo our resolve. Our struggle is not limited to the here and now; it extends across generations. Whether it takes one year, ten years, or even a century, we stand firm in our commitment. Let history remember that the Ijebu people persevere, unyielding in their quest for justice and recognition.

We are not merely individuals in pursuit of singular titles or fleeting accolades; we are the embodiment of our heritage, forging a legacy that transcends time. As we navigate this complex terrain, we find solace in our shared purpose and strength in our collective identity. This movement pulsates with the rhythms of our culture, rich with historical significance and a passionate urge to reclaim what is rightfully ours. The Almighty walks with us, guiding our every step, reminding us that our journey is divinely ordained.

At the heart of this movement lies a simple yet powerful truth: we will never lose faith. Against the backdrop of apathy, we become beacons of hope. The tiresome struggle will not deter us; rather, it will galvanize our resolve. On our journey toward Ijebu State, we remind ourselves of the ultimate goal we fight for identity, dignity, and justice.

We call upon the people of Ijebu this is not just our fight; it is our calling. Stand up for our birthright. Stand firm in belief. Together, we will rise and claim our rightful place in the Nigerian federation. Ijebu State must be created, Ijebu-Ode must be the capital, and we will not cease until history bows to justice.
