How I discovered world champion Amusan – 68-year-old retiree
Retired athletics coach Alaba Ogunde, has disclosed exclusively told The PUNCH how she discovered world and Commonwealth Games champion Tobi Amusan.
Amusan sent the social media into meltdown after she broke the women’s 100m hurdles record at the 2022 World Championships in Oregon, US with a stunning semi-final time of 12.12secs to erase Kendra Harrison’s 2016 effort by 0.08secs. She ran faster in the final, but her 12.06secs was ruled ineligible by an illegal tailwind.
She continued her impressive 2022 season at the just-concluded Commonwealth Games in Birmingham with another gold medal.
She clocked a blistering 12.30s to smash the Games’ record on Sunday morning at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham.
Amusan and Ogunde (arrowed) in the early days
The athlete, who hails from Ijebu-Ode, also inspired the Nigeria relay team to their first-ever gold medal in the women’s 4×100 at the Commonwealth Games.
Amid reports in the media quoting a coach, who claimed to have discovered the 25-year-old athlete, the 68-year-old Ogunde, then a staff of the Ogun State Sports Council, said she discovered Amusan when she was posted to Ijebu Ode in 2005.
“I saw several reports that Tobi was discovered by someone else, but I want to make it clear that I was the one who discovered her,” Ogunde told The PUNCH.
“In 2004 I was transferred to Ijebu Ode sports council from the headquarters in Abeokuta. I was mandated to cover all areas, including the rural and the urban areas, and I visit almost all the schools back then.
“In the course of moving around, I discovered so many talents and Tobi was one of them. I also discovered Omotola Kuku and the mentor of Tobi herself, Biola Onakoya, who was a 400m runner and so many others.
“No doubt, one person cannot train a child, but I was the one who noticed that Amusan had what it took to become a future champion.
“She was a student of Our Ladies of Apostle in Ijebu Ode and the Games Master then was Adeyemi, though I cannot remember his other name and Dr Adetoye Alatise was the Chairman of Ijebu Ode Local Government Area, though he is now the Oba of Ososa Ijebu, he supported our course for the development of young talents.
“We had an U-15 athletics competition in Ogun State and my team won it for two consecutive times before being dethroned by Ilaro and Tobi was part of my success story.”
Ogunde added, “I was the head athletics coach in Ijebu Ode back then, and I had so many responsibilities and people around me. We do have trials, inter-house sports and so many other events and I had to hand over the supervision to one of the trainers known as Charlie Baba. He was an apprentice under Ayodele Solaja back then.
“He was the one that suggested that we merged them all with the athletes under Solaja and Tobi was very good in 100m, 200m, high jump and long jump. The truth is whoever is good in all these fields can easily cope with participating in 100m hurdles, as we saw with Chioma Ajunwa.
“The mentorship has been there before she even met Solaja, but he continued with their development.”

Tension mounts in PDP as crisis worsens; elders weigh options
Amid tensions, some elders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday, intervened in the crisis rocking the party by giving approval for the constitution of the presidential campaign council.
Vanguard gathered that while some PDP leaders are pushing for the party to wield the big stick against those engaged in anti-party activities, other leaders are more favourably disposed to ongoing reconciliatory efforts.
It was learned in Abuja yesterday that the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and other organs of the party, including the National Working Committee, NWC, the Caucus and the Board of Trustees, BoT, have agreed to go ahead with the constitution of the party’s presidential campaign council.
This came on a day former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Olabode George, urged the PDP National Chair-man, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, to honourably resign.
George, however, urged Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State not to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, despite misgivings over the choice of running mate to the PDP presidential candidate.
Party elders wade in, mull options
A top ranking member of the party, who is familiar with the issue but elected to speak in confidence, said: “We held a major consultative meeting on Tuesday and I can assure you that the membership of the council will be announced in the next two weeks.
“Campaigns start next month; we want to be up and running before this happens. We have been reaching out to our members nationwide, including our respected leaders in Rivers State.
“Details of our next steps are being worked out. You know the PDP, being a very large family, has a lot of tendencies and individuals and groups have egos that require massaging. We are doing that.
“There are those pushing for us to wield the big stick but the majority are more favourably disposed to ongoing reconciliatory efforts because we are in opposition; we need everyone more than the ruling party.”
Another party leader, who spoke on grounds of anonymity, said: “The PDP has dealt with bigger challenges; this one too has come and it will go. Governor Wike, whose name is being mentioned anytime our current challenges are cited, is a party man, he has said it himself.
“He has other party leaders who respect him and look up to him to protect their political interests. Whatsoever those interests may be, he feels an obligation to protect those who stuck out their necks for him during his bid for the ticket.
“It is the pursuit of this that has delayed us till now but we must make progress; we have an election to win and there will be positions of responsibilities to be given out. It is the patience component that is the issue at the moment.”
Substantial progress is being made — Atiku’s camp
When contacted, Mazi Paul Ibe, Media Adviser to the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said: “Substantial progress is being made with regards to resolving outstanding issues. My principal has assured the party and all members that everyone will be carried along. That commitment has not changed.”
We’ll resolve crisis soon—PDP leader
Also speaking, a top PDP leader told Vanguard that leaders are making moves to resolve the crisis.
The PDP leader, who spoke in confidence, said: “We are making efforts to resolve the crisis.
All I know is that Wike will not leave the party. As regards inviting APC leaders to commission projects in his state, he has said it before that he would invite leaders across party lines to commission projects in Rivers. I can assure you that the crisis within the party will be resolved soon.”
Ayu should resign honourably —Bode George
Commenting on the crisis rocking the party, George, who addressed newsmen in Lagos, insisted that Ayu should honour his words by stepping down as national chairman of the party.
He, however, urged Governor Wike not to join APC, despite misgivings over the choice of Atiku’s running mate, saying “you don’t win all the time.”
Heis words: “In democracy, we must talk and exchange ideas. We must agree and disagree without actually being disagreeable. Any organisation with human beings will always have issues but the ability to manage that crisis will be the determining factor.
“I want to appeal to all sides to sheathe their swords. Nigerians are waiting for us and we must convince them that we can manage the resources of the country in an equitable manner.
“They should all cease fire. Statements of arrogance and innuendos that can destroy the party should stop forthwith.
“Zoning has sustained our democracy for this long because it’s the concept that established our party.
“My plea is that all should cool temper because if we don’t get it right this time around, this nation will never forgive us. Nigerians are waiting for the PDP.”
On 2023 general election, George said it was not yet uhuru.
While expressing worry over the security situation in the country, he said: “My fear is that if the insecurity continues, who will be bold enough to campaign or cast votes during election?
“These are serious issues we must consider. Are we thinking about it? It’s scary. How will people go out to vote on the day of election?”
Wike, one man balancing force —Mimiko
Meanwhile, former Ondo State governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, yesterday, commended Governor Wike’s boldness to lawfully speak truth to power, saying he has averted bids by desperate politicians to force Nigeria into a one-party state.
Mimiko said this while performing the flag-off of Rivers State project for dualisation of Azikiwe-Iloabuchi Road in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Noting that through bold legal challenges, Wike has deepened national consciousness by combating the defective federal system towards actualising true federalism.
Mimiko said: “Beyond the self-evident physical transformation, you (Wike) have stood as a bulwark against those sworn to emasculating the main opposition party, all in their bid to force a one-party state down the throats of Nigerians.
“You were at one point virtually a one man countervailing force, defending and protecting our dear PDP. You have also, through bold legal challenges, deepened the national consciousness on the defects in the running of our defective federal system.”
Hoping Wike remains committed to the struggle to entrench true federalism for just development across ethnic divides and religious persuasions in Nigeria, the former governor said: “Our party, the PDP, a party for which you have laboured so much, seems saddled with the historical duty of forging this unity, a unity premised on truth, equity and justice, a unity upon which rescuing Nigeria from unsatisfactory performance of the past seven years will be built.
“It is a mission that must be accomplished, a mission for which you are specially positioned and favoured to play a major role, a mission that must be subscribed to by all lovers of our country.”
Speaking on the project, Wike said: “As a man who respects leaders, I have to honour them by making sure this road is awarded and completed within six months.
“This is the last project here in Port Harcourt I’m going to embark upon before I leave office. All promises I have made in Port Harcourt, I have fulfilled. Let somebody come and tell me which one I have not fulfilled. “Because you voted for us, we too will work for you by providing basic infrastructure. That is what politics is all about. It is about talking and doing, not giving of excuses.
“No right-thinking person in this state would want to mingle or identify with such people that would make promises without fulfilling them.
“Our campaign has always been operation show your report card. We are showing our report card. Tell anybody who comes to you to show his report card.”

12-year-old kills Nigerian mother in US, blames intruder
A 12-year-old Nigerian boy has killed his mother, Ayobiyi Cook, at their home in Forestdale, Alabama, United States.
According to CBS News, the boy “accidentally discharged a firearm” which struck and killed his 29-year-old mom on Monday.
His father, Djuan, a policeman, was said to be at work when the incident happened.
A statement from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office revealed that the boy had initially lied to detectives about the cause of his mother’s death after cops arrived at the scene some minutes past midnight.
He was reported to have said an intruder broke into the house, shot his mother and fled.
But on further investigation of the killing, he reportedly admitted to killing his mother.
The statement read in part, “The child originally fabricated a story that detectives determined was not possible; the child eventually gave a true account of what happened.
“The boy’s family, who he will remain with, has been cooperative. The case will be addressed through the family court system.”
A prior statement by the Jefferson County deputies stated that there had been no forced entry into the home when they arrived at the scene.
It read, “On Saturday, August 6, 2022, at 12:10am, Jefferson County Deputies received a 911 call for help at a residence in the 2400 block of Freemont Avenue in the Forestdale community. Deputies arrived and found a 29-year-old woman deceased on the scene. There appeared to be no forced entry into the home and a man was seen fleeing from the residence shortly before the 911 call was made. Sheriff’s detectives were able to recover evidence on the scene and are continuing to investigate.”
The deceased’s husband, Djuan, in a Facebook post, said Ayobiyi was known as “Yo” or “YoYo.
He wrote, “The funeral arrangements would be held on August 12. Orange was Yo’s favourite colour so feel free to wear it as we celebrate her life.”

Falsehood, disinformation won’t win elections, Tinubu tells Obi
The presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has asked his counterpart in the Labour Party, LP, Mr. Peter Obi, to call his supporters to order, warning that “falsehood and disinformation will not win elections”.
Tinubu, in a statement by his campaign organisation, on Wednesday, urged Obi to caution his supporters and to allow the election circle be about issues that will advance the growth, progress and stability of the country.
The statement by Director, Media and Communications, Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, also admonished the Labour Party presidential candidate to get his supporters to “desist from spreading lies, malice and denigrating other candidates, especially Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
“TCO (Tinubu Campaign Organisation) further states that Nigeria will be better for it and the electoral process will be enriched if the 2023 presidential campaign sticks to issues of good governance that will lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty rather than being dominated by the ravings of guttersnipes, who do not wish the country well,” the statement added.
Onanuga noted that the Tinubu Campaign Organisation saw the need to appeal to Obi to rein in his supporters after investigating the origin of the fake report claiming that the Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo wrote a letter to Tinubu, asking him to support Obi and take care of his (Tinubu) health.
According to him, the Ghanaian President, via his official Twitter account, has debunked the news as a product of deliberate mischief with the intent to deceive the public.
“I have written no such letter to the APC leader, and it will not occur to me to do so.
“Ghana and Nigeria boast of decades of cordial, strong and brotherly relations, and I am not going to be the one to interfere in the internal affairs and politics of Nigeria,” said President of Ghana via Twitter.
The ‘Biafra fake news site’
Onanuga said: “We have found that the fake news about Akufo-Addo’s letter was first published on June 22 by a rogue platform, whose url reads worlsnews.space (sic) and site identity as World of News.
“A content analysis of the site clearly showed that it is a Biafra news platform. The fake news was reposted on Facebook by Peter Obi Support Group, same day — a clear proof that Biafra campaigners and Peter Obi supporters are the same.
“Both the Facebook account and the website are replete with fake stories about Bola Tinubu, including a fake story credited to former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, alleging that Tinubu demanded N50 billion monthly payment from him.
“The spuriousness of the statement is in the evidence that Lagos did not begin to clock N50 billion revenue until after Ambode left office.
“Tinubu could not have demanded N50 billion monthly payment from Ambode when the state government didn’t make such in a month throughout the tenure of Mr. Ambode.
“The pirate website, which the Facebook account feeds, on also parades malicious fake news and headlines such as “I am old, but my blood is young, please vote for me – Tinubu begs youth” .
“There is also the most wicked of all headlines: ‘When I became president, I will Build more prison (sic) for Igbo’s and IPOB members – Tinubu’.
“The big surprise in all of these is that all the headlines have no supporting stories, and clicking them may bring virus to your computer.
“We have come to a point where it becomes imperative to tell Mr. Obi to show leadership and disavow his supporters, who are employing fake news and disinformation as deliberate tools to deceive and poison the minds of unsuspecting Nigerians,” he added.

2023: Atiku, Tinubu’s experiences not what Nigerians need — Gabam, SDP national chairman
The Electoral Act (amended) is giving a lot of Nigerians hope that the 2023 general elections would pass the credibility test. Do you have any fears that the elections may still fall short of expectation despite the new law?
Well, the Electoral Act (amended) is a welcome development. There is no doubt it has improved certain sections that are very complicated. It has untied the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that was unable to move or do certain things. It has empowered INEC to take certain decisions, simplify issues and take away high profile corruption even within INEC itself. Before now, once you submit your documents to INEC, if you are not lucky, somebody will take your file and hide it but this time around, you send every single item through the system. There is no obstruction absolutely and nobody can tamper with it. So, there is a paradigm shift.
However, some of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, being used in the states, recorded a lot of issues. In some states, there were lots of allegations that the BVAS were being programmed not to function, to put someone or parties that have large population of voters around those areas, at a disadvantage . These are some of the major observations and concerns that parties have raised and INEC is aware of them.
Your Presidential candidate would be up against highly experienced politicians like Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and Bola Tinubu of the APC. Do you agree with those who argue that his lack of political experience may count against him at the polls?
President Muhammadu Buhari has more experience than all these ones you have mentioned. He was a former military Head of State, former military governor, erstwhile Minister of Petroleum Resources and more. How has he performed as an elected president?
So for me, I don’t consider experience as the singular most important factor in who should be our president. What Nigeria is going through today has nothing to do with experience, but everything to do with agility, capacity and ability to perform the task of nation-building. We need someone that can take apt decision, spend his time not sleeping but monitoring the situation of the country, giving decisive orders and creating deterrence for those who do not obey law and order.
Yes, Tinubu and Atiku have their experiences. Tinubu has been part of the system for a very long time, Atiku has been part of the system for a very long time but again, none of them has contested presidency and won before. Atiku has contested Presidency a couple of times and have lost. Tinubu is contesting for the first time.
I know as a matter of fact that Tinubu did well as governor of Lagos State. I was in Lagos when he was the governor but the dynamics have changed; the situation of Nigeria has changed. Nigeria requires someone who can melt into the whole system and deal with the system decisively.
The administration of President Buhari is winding down with less than a year to go but he vows to hand over a peaceful and secure Nigeria to his successor. How optimistic are you about this?
That benefit of the doubt is what brought us to this sorry state. Don’t forget that when he was campaigning, there was this ravaging Boko Haram challenge but he said that within six months, he would wipe it out and stabilise the country. This same President said that and on that basis, he raised the hopes of Nigerians. On the basis of his background as a military man, Nigerians were optimistic. All these turned out to be fallacy.
He has not exhibited the experience he has and as a result, the country is descending into anarchy day by day. The boldness of these gunmen is unprecedented. The President’s convoy was attacked, Kuje Prison was bombed. The President was there to see the level of damage but nothing has happened. We were told there were security reports before the attack. Why were there no proactive measures taken?
The president has displayed lack of capacity. He appointed people that have not shown that they are committed and that they have the capacity to stop these crimes from happening. What is the percentage of these criminals that are destabilising the state? They are less than 1 per cent and now they are destabilising the whole country and the President is the Commander-in-Chief. Now, if the commander is not commanding well, what happens? Anarchy will ensue.
There is a clamour for a reform of the political recruitment process. How do you think credible candidates can emerge in subsequent elections regardless of their financial status?
Did you see how we conducted our convention? It was decent, credible, transparent and was rated highly by INEC. The process of also producing our presidential candidate followed same pattern. This new thing of vote- buying will cripple the country and it will raise gangsterism. People will form criminal gangs or what have you, just to get money. They will not bother to campaign as they will wait for election period and just buy votes. May we not become countries like Mexico where drug barons are driving the government.
These are the implications of allowing vote-buying to continue. It will collapse the democratic process, ridicule the system beyond anybody’s imagination and then, we will have people who stole money and bought their way into governance. Such people will not perform as they will be busy trying to recover what they have put in. What is even more important today is that 65 to 70 per cent of PVC owners are anti-establishment. They are the youths. Now whether the youths want to sell their votes, I don’t know. But if the youths are not selling their votes, you can completely be rest assured that the status quo will not remain. You can be rest assured that Nigeria will have a new leadership, you can be rest assured that we will have a new system that will decisively deal with the current situation. However, if the youths decide to sell their votes, then Nigeria will be more in trouble and nobody would be able to salvage the situation.

EndSARS fallout as CSOs petition IGP over Osun gov-elect, Adeleke’s security chief
A coalition of civil society organisations in Osun State, on Tuesday, threatened to mobilise the people of the state on a mass protest over the deployment of Chief Superintendent Adekunle Omoyele as the Chief Security Officer to governor-elect, Ademola Adeleke.
The coalition gave the threat in a joint petition to the Inspector-General of Police, the Police Service Commission, National Human Rights Commission, Office of the Attorney-General of the federation, and the Ministry of Police Affairs.
The petition was signed by Prof. Wasiu Ademola Oyedokun-Alli, Executive Director, The Osun Masterminds; Ologun Ayodeji, spokesperson, Transparency and Accountability Group, and Olufemi Lawson, Executive Director, Centre for Public Accountability.
It was titled ‘Petition Against Appointment of CSP ADdekunle Omoyele as the Chief Security Officer to the Governor-Elect, Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke and A Call for Urgent Action’.
The CSOs alleged that CSP Omoyele was indicted by the Osun State Judicial Panel that investigated the ENDSARS protest over extra-judicial killings and other human rights infractions against citizens of the state.
Prof. Oyedokun-Alli said: “In the pursuit of the common good, we bring this petition to the Police Management Team and the Media.
“We became aware of the posting of one Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Adekunle Omoyele vide a Letter with Ref. No. CH. 5360/FS/FHQ/ABJ/V.29/40 alongside four others, as the Chief Security Officer to the Governor-Elect, Osun state, Senator Ademola Adeleke, by AIG Force Secretary, Hafiz Inuwa, dated 3rd August, 2022.
“While we recognise the constitutional rights of the Police Management Team to make such appointments, we are appalled that no due diligence and thorough background checks were carried out on CSP Omoyele before the posting to such a sensitive position requiring a police officer with enviable track records, stickler to principles of public morality and due observance of citizens’ rights.
“Our fears are deeply rooted in the indictment against the just disbanded tactical squad of the Osun Police command, headed by CSP Adekunle Omoyele and the orgy of violence unleashed on the state in the post-gubernatorial election.
“The tone and tenor of the posting/appointment is devoid of due diligence and in complete variance with the IG’s avowed commitment to rid the police of undesirable elements and is as sardonic and disdainful as it is horrifying and gory.
“We have noted, in recent times, the stern and iconic qualities of the IGP in his reformative agenda and we have pledged our unalloyed support to him.
“We also refer to the indictment of CSP Omoyele by the properly constituted Osun State Judicial Panel on Police Brutality in its final reports submitted to the Osun State Government.
Our Prayers/Demands
“We demand an immediate reversal of the posting of CSP Adekunle Omoyele as the CSO to Senator Ademola Adeleke.
“We call on the IGP to, as matter of urgency, constitute a high powered inquiry into the killings in Ede.
“We call on the Inspector General of police to immediate investigate and call to caution the Commissioner of Police in the State, Olokode, who is believed to be condoning the excesses of CSP Omoyele and others.
“Record has it that the CP, immediately after reporting to Osun, influenced the deployment of Omoyele from Ogun State Command to Osun State Command and immediately appointed him as the head of the just-disbanded tactical team.
“In line with the IGP’s lofty and giant strides in reforming the Police, we invite him to act on the recommendations of the reports of the Osun State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Police Brutality, which indicted CSP Omoyele and others.
“This will serve as deterrence to police officers with dismal and disheartening testaments to their records.
“The Police cannot willfully shut its eyes and ears to the potential and real menace of the activities of its erring personnel.”

Man collapses after discovering that his wife is his 'Landlord'
A Zambian man identified as Martin Stampa reportedly collapsed after discovering his wife is his “landlord.”
Local news platforms reported that Stampa lived in the house for 15 years, and was paying 3500 kwacha every month. It was also gathered that his wife was the one who always took the rent to his “landlord.”
However an altercation ensued after the lady identified as Lushomo discovered that her husband was having an extramarital affair. Martin reportedly told his wife that he got a side chick because he wanted someone who was intelligent and engages in smart conversations.
This riled Lushomo, who ended up spilling the beans and telling Martin that he’s not intelligent enough as he has been paying her a monthly rent because the house they live in belongs to her.
On seeing the house’s title deeds, Martin lost consciousness and collapsed. People had to drench him with bucketfuls of water to wake him up.
