Ramadan Disaster! Scores Killed In Stampede At Tinubu’s Gift Presentation
As unusual as it was, the gesture of APC chieftain and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to reach out to the masses during the festive period of ramadan turned ugly this year as people died and many were injured at the venue of the presentation of gifts and materials in Lagos.
The Onikan stadium, Lagos venue of the Bola Tinubu’s Foundation of free gifts turned to a slaughter slab as a stampede occurred where two were feared killed while many sustained serious injuries.
The main victims were women and the children who were trampled upon by the mammoth crowd that gathered to benefit from the freebies.
Sources blamed the logistics by the planners with claims that ‘there was no proper arrangement on crowd control and there was not a single ambulance at sight in readiness for a situation like this’.
The wounded were seen being ferried on stretchers to nearby hospitals while the dead were taken to the mortuary.
According to an eye witness who spoke to papermacheonline. ‘I counted 5 dead bodies and several others that are wounded. Most of the dead were the old and children who couldn’t regain their stand immediately they fell and were trampled upon’.
A popular online portal, Societyreelnews contacted the coordinator and special assistant to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the telephone and he confirmed there was a stampede and claimed he could not speak on the number of lives that were lost.
The unfortunate incident was said to have thrown the Lagos politician into mourning as he had never experienced such in over a decade he had been reaching out to the masses during the Sallah, Ramadan and Christmas periods.

All The Shocking Details As PDP Declares Adedamola Osun Flagbearer, Beats Gov Adeleke in Tense Primary
In a dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves through Osun’s political landscape, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared Hon. Adebayo Adedamola as its governorship flagbearer after a fiercely contested primary that saw him defeat incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The keenly watched primary, held amid heavy security and intense party interest, drew party delegates from across the state. What many expected to be a smooth victory for the governor turned into a tightly fought race, with Fryo gaining momentum during delegate consultations and strategic bloc alignments.
According to party officials, Fryo clinched the majority of valid votes after what they described as a transparent, credible, and highly competitive exercise. His supporters erupted in celebration as the final tally was announced, chanting solidarity songs and hailing what they called “a new direction for Osun PDP.”
Adedamola, popularlcy called Fryo is said to be a close ally of APC stalwart, Iyiola Omisore. Fryo was among the people arrested over the killing of late Attorney General, Chief Bola Ige.
Political analysts say the upset signals a significant shift within the party’s power structure, as the result reflects growing agitation for fresh leadership and a repositioning of the party’s influence across local government blocs.
Governor Adeleke, who had sought the party’s ticket to secure a second term, was said to have congratulated Fryo in a closed-door exchange, though members of his camp are still digesting the unexpected outcome.
Fryo, in his acceptance speech, promised to unify the party, consolidate on its achievements, and present a formidable front ahead of the general elections. He described his victory as “a mandate for renewal” and urged party faithful to rally behind him for what he termed the decisive battle ahead.
With this development, all eyes are now on how the PDP navigates the post-primary atmosphere and prepares for a heated governorship election season in Osun State.
