Recently, the Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, commissioned the construction of a signature flyover with pomp and celebration, amongst other efforts to keep good governance going in the state, writes Yinka Kolawole Osun State especially, its capital, Osogbo was suddenly in the news, when Governor Adegboyega Oyetola announced the readiness of his administration to construct an iconic flyover across the popular Fakunle-Olaiya, Odiolowo-Olaiya, AKindeko-Olaiya and MDS Olaiya interactions – all in Osogbo, the state capital.

PRESS STATEMENT I bring you warm greetings from the powerful National Secretariat of our great Party, the YOUTH DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF NIGERIA (YDPN). I salute the doggedness and unflinching commitment of our members across the Nation and in diaspora who still believe in the vision of this movement and the need to salvage our dear Nation.  A couple of hours ago, we received disturbing news from some States in the South Western region about a purported stakeholders meeting which was held a couple of weeks ago wherein there was a resolution that the name of our Party be changed to Allied Youth Congress (AYC).

I wish to categorically state that the name of our party remains YOUTH DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF
