Iranians call for nuclear bomb after US-Israeli war as Tehran distributes anti nuclear radiation tablets

New Supreme Leader 

The Persians have been calling for the Islamic Republic of Iran to develop nuclear and atomic weapons following the aftermath of the US and Israel military aggression against the republic.

According to the reports, more Iranian religious leaders, politicians and hardliners are openly demanding for the country to develop nuclear weapons after US and Israeli killed Supreme leader Ali Khamenei in February 2026. 

Iran under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his fatwa banned the development of nuclear weapons for many years.

According to report by the Times, Iran distributes ANTI-RADIATION TABLETS as it prepares for potential NUCLEAR FALLOUT. IODINE TABLETS handed out to communities NEAR NUCLEAR FACILITIES. Pickaxe Mountain may come under nuclear attacks of the US forces.

The United States is offering up to $20 million and possible relocation for information on Iran’s nuclear program, CENTCOM said Friday. 

The reward covers intelligence on nuclear facilities, equipment, personnel, scientists and their movements.

However, during Friday prayers in Tehran, leaders and members of parliament stated if Iran obtains a nuclear bomb, it won't be attacked again.  Currently, Top military officials confirmed the debate is underway with leadership but no final decision yet.

America, Israel and European counterparts only respect any other country with stockpile of arsenal and Iranians want the country to live up to the expectations that will guarantee the security of the Persians.

As potential US strikes are imminent, Iranian Health Ministry official confirmed the distribution of iodine tablets to residents living close to Nuclear facilities. Accord to officials, this was done during every war within 2-3 km radius of such Nuclear sites. They also added Trump can no longer be trusted and may go through with this crime.

Iran distributed about 180000 iodine tablets in Bushehr near its nuclear power plant.

Iodine tablets only protect the thyroid from radioactive iodine rather than shielding against other radioactive. They are standard precautions used around nuclear sites in wartime and accident incidents.

Tehran is signaling US could strike Pickaxe Mountain with nuclear weapon following months of public threats from Trump. Pickaxe Mountain remains hard target to be destroyed by conventional weapons unless nukes are used.

Meanwhile, Tehran has released a list of countries hosting US military bases that could face attacks in an eventual wider conflict.

Iran Names UK, Germany, France, Italy, Romania, Greece, Portugal & Cyprus Among Potential Targets. They are all NATO Nations.

The warning signals a potentially dramatic expansion of the Iran US confrontation across Europe and the Middle East. The middle east Arab Nations hosting the US military bases have many stories to tell about Iranian retaliatory missiles strikes hitting their territories.

As the hostilities range on, Iran has fired surface-to-air missiles at a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet over the Strait of Hormuz, while its integrated air defense network has also shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone over Qeshm Island,  Iranian military sources and state media confirmed the report.

In an official statement carried by Tasnim, Iran’s military said the Reaper was intercepted and destroyed using “advanced systems” belonging to its unified air defense network over Hormozgan province. The engagements come just days after U.S. carrier aircraft struck Iranian air-defense launchers on Qeshm Island.

While the US has neither confirmed nor denied the report, President Donald Trump has  stood in front of reporters in West Palm Beach and confirmed US strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island.

He said: "I don't want to talk about it. We do minor strikes, but they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes, maybe five."

As anti radioactive iodine is been distributed, Iran issued Code 100, its HIGHEST alert, for all armed forces, per initial reports as he war that is now more than 8 months old.

OGUN LABOUR PARTY CRISIS ENDS AS NATIONAL CHAIRMAN, NENADI USMAN AFFIRMS APAGUN OLAOLU AS AUTHENTIC CHAIRMAN

...Onabiyi/Sogunle Faction Shuns Abuja Peace Meeting, Gives Flimsy Excuses*_

ABUJA — The protracted leadership crisis rocking the Ogun State chapter of the Labour Party has finally been laid to rest as the National Chairman of the party, *Her Excellency, Senator Nenadi Esther Usman*, has affirmed *Apagun Olaolu Samuel Babatunde* as the authentic, legitimate and competent Chairman of the party in Ogun State.

The historic decision was taken at the Truth and Reconciliation meeting convened by the National Working Committee (NWC) on Tuesday, 20th October, 2026, in Abuja, to resolve all issues threatening the party's preparations for the 2027 general elections.

In attendance were top national officers including Com. Salisu Muhammed (Deputy National Chairman), Com. Quadri Olaleye (Deputy National Chairman, TUC), Hon. Iheanacho Obioma (National Secretary), Mallam Hamisu Santuraki (National Treasurer), Com. Eragbe Anslem (National Financial Secretary), Mrs. Oluchi Oparah (National Organizing Secretary), Com. Segun Akinpelumi (Deputy Youth Leader, South-West), Com. Mazi Ojukwu (SSA to National Chairman) and Hon. Dr. Kingsley Chibuzor Okereke (Presidential9 Candidate), among others.

The legitimate Ogun State Executive, led by Apagun Olaolu, was represented by the Chairman himself, Oloyode Taofiq (State Treasurer) and Olayemi Michael (Chairman, Sagamu LG and Chairman of Chairmen Forum).

In a dramatic twist, the faction led by Alhaji Onabiyi Ibrahim and Dr. Kehinde Sogunle *failed to show up*. No representation, no defence. Flimsy excuses were made for their absence.

"Substantive evidence terminates arguments and establishes the truth," the Publicity Secretary, Kika Glasgow, said in a statement.

According to him, the meeting lasted only 30 minutes because there was no one to defend the petition against the legitimate executive.

After reviewing all facts, documents and evidence, Senator Nenadi Usman took a decisive decision in favour of the Apagun-led executive, putting an end to months of parallel executive and sabotage.

Reacting, the party described the judgment as "a victory for truth, a victory for the rule of law and a victory for every faithful member who sacrificed to build the party."

The party thanked the National Chairman for her wisdom and courage, and called on all members across the 20 LGAs to unite and prepare for 2027, adding that the door of reconciliation remains open for those misled.

THE PRICE OF BETRAYAL: HOW DR. KEHINDE SOGUNLE TRADED OUR PARTY’S FUTURE FOR HIS PDP AMBITION

By Kika Glasgow, Publicity Secretary, Ogun State Labour Party

SOGUNLE

Abeokuta, Ogun State — The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the final list of candidates for the 2027 governorship and State House of Assembly elections in Ogun State. The Labour Party is conspicuously absent. 

Let that sink in.

A party that produced the presidency in the 2023 presidential election in Ogun State. A party that mobilised millions of Nigerian youth, artisans, market women, and the downtrodden. A party built on the sweat and sacrifice of ordinary members across the 20 local government areas of this state.

Today, we have no governorship candidate on the INEC list. Today, we have no House of Assembly candidates on the INEC list. We have been erased from the ballot in Ogun State.

And who is responsible? Dr. Kehinde Sogunle.

THE CHAIN OF EVENTS

We saw this coming.  We unveiled Hon. Mojisola Oluwaseun Ajayi as our consensus governorship candidate for 2027.  We presented candidates for all elective positions through consensus.  We told the world that the Labour Party was one body, one family, ready to rescue Ogun State from political robbers. 

That unity was deliberately sabotaged.

Dr. Kehinde Sogunle, who has never renounced his membership of the Labour Party, proceeded to create a parallel executive led by Alhaji Onabiyi Ibrahim to rival the legitimate executive led by Apagun Olaolu Samuel Babatunde. This parallel structure was not an organic expression of internal democracy. It was a calculated instrument of destruction, designed to create the exact confusion that INEC cited in refusing to recognise our candidates.

Let us be clear about what has happened. A man who is serving as Director-General of the Ladi Adebutu Campaign Organisation for the PDP—a man who writes publicly praising the PDP template and attacking the APC—has also been holding onto his Labour Party membership while engineering a factional crisis that has now destroyed the Labour Party’s chances in Ogun State.

THE SOGUNLE PLAYBOOK

This is not new. This is the same playbook Dr. Sogunle executed in 2023.

In 2023, he joined the Labour Party, pretending to be a serious contender for the governorship position. When he could not get the ticket, he took the rest of the Labour Party members to form an alliance with the PDP for monetary gain. He received over N230 million in his personal account, disbursed it without transparency, and failed to account for it.

Now, in 2027, he has done it again. But this time, the damage is far worse. This time, he has not just hijacked the party’s money. He has hijacked the party’s very existence.

He created a parallel executive. He caused the internal crisis that led to INEC refusing to recognise our candidates. He has effectively taken the Labour Party off the ballot in Ogun State. And he has done all of this while simultaneously serving as the Director-General of the PDP’s governorship campaign.

The Labour Party in Ogun State has been sacrificed on the altar of Dr. Sogunle’s personal ambition. Thousands of candidates who invested their resources, their time, and their hopes into contesting under our platform have been denied their rightful place on the ballot.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

We have heard the pain in the voice of our members. Comrade Olayemi Olalekan, the Labour Party Chairman of Sagamu Local Government and Chairman of the Chairmen Forum, captured the anguish of the grassroots in his weekend message:

“What is our gain in the Labour Party? What are the benefits of being a member Elupee? Is our labor not in vain? Are all the monies spent simply wasted away, all because of issues and selfish interests? All the travel, night calls, data, recharge cards, etc., seem to be wasted.

He asked the questions that every Labour Party member in Ogun State is asking today: 

 Where is the power of having been in the Labour Party for the past 20 years? Why have our leaders allowed selfish interests to destroy our great party?

These are legitimate questions. And the answer is simple: Dr. Kehinde Sogunle and his co-travellers placed their personal ambition above the collective future of our party.

OUR POSITION: WE ARE ON TOP OF THE SITUATION

To every Labour Party member across the 20 local government areas of Ogun State, we say: be calm. We are on top of the situation.

The legitimate leadership of the Ogun State Labour Party, under State Chairman Apagun Olaolu Samuel Babatunde, is taking all necessary steps to address this crisis. We are exploring every available legal and constitutional avenue to protect the interests of our members and restore the party to its rightful place on the ballot.

We call on all members to remain law-abiding and peaceful. Do not take the law into your own hands. Do not allow yourselves to be provoked by the agents of destruction who are working for the PDP. The courts will settle this. The truth will prevail.

We also call on the National Working Committee of the Labour Party, under the legitimate leadership of National Chairman Senator Nenadi Esther Usman—elected at the historic Umuahia National Convention of 28th April 2026—to intervene decisively.  The National Chairman has already demonstrated her commitment to reconciliation and integration.  We urge her to apply that same spirit here in Ogun State by affirming the legitimate executive led by Apagun Olaolu Samuel Babatunde and sanctioning Dr. Kehinde Sogunle and Alhaji Onabiyi Ibrahim for anti-party activities.

We also call on INEC to review its decision. The Labour Party has candidates. The Labour Party has a legitimate executive. We have candidates.  We should not be denied participation in the 2027 elections because one man chose to serve two masters.

TO THE PEOPLE OF OGUN STATE 

> The people of Ogun State have seen the true colours of Dr. Kehinde Sogunle. A man who lectures the public about institutional integrity while destroying the institutions of the party that gave him a platform. A man who preaches about prebendalism while practising the very transactional politics he condemns.

The Labour Party remains the authentic vehicle for the emancipation of the masses. We may have been temporarily knocked down, but we are not out. We are rebuilding. We are reconciling. And we will return stronger.

Dr. Sogunle may have sold our party’s yesterday for thirty pieces of silver. But that of today and tomorrow shall be redeemed and secured henceforth.

At Last, Labour Party National Catches Up With Divisive Barrister Affiong, Suspends Her As The Lagos State Chair

 The Labor Party National leadership has suspended the self-styled and deceitful Lagos State Chairman of the Party Barrister Affiong L. Affiong and Secretary.

The national leadership reconstituted new state working committee for the  with Comrade Bamishe as the new state chairman for Lagos State Labour party.

What the Nenadi Usman led national leadership condoned or failed to acknowledged about Barrister Affiong and Madam Nike Oriola Job divisiveness have paralyzed the party in the south west zone.  The atrocities committed by the dou in grinding the party to a state of halt in the region knows no bound, although there is nothing to write home about the other zones too since the national convention in Abia State when states leaderships were wrongly jectitioned in the name of reconciliation with Barrister Julius Abure factions.

Read the details of her suspension and constitution of a new state working committee by the LP national 

The Labour Party in Nigeria needs a total rebuilding with people of genuine intentions and good characters as the current leadership both at the states and national are full of defective and deceitful elements unworthy to front for the party.

What do you think?

OGUN LABOUR PARTY: KEHINDE SOGUNLE, A POLITICAL MERCENARY, NOT A SOCIAL DEMOCRAT

By Kika Glasgow, Publicity Secretary, Ogun State Labour Party_

Abeokuta, Ogun State — The Ogun State Labour Party has read with utter disbelief the latest political treatise by Dr. Kehinde Sogunle, who parades himself as Director-General of the Ladi Adebutu Campaign Organisation (LCO) for the 2027 gubernatorial election, while conveniently refusing to renounce his membership of our great party.

Let it be stated unambiguously: Dr. Sogunle is not a member of the Labour Party in any moral or political sense. He is a political opportunist who has consistently treated our party as a transactional vehicle to be boarded, exploited, and discarded at will. His latest intellectual gymnastics, dressed in the borrowed robes of Richard Joseph’s prebendalism, is nothing but a desperate attempt to sanitise a career built on the very political predation he now claims to condemn.

*THE 2023 ALLIANCE: A CASE STUDY IN TRANSACTIONAL POLITICS*

The public record is clear. In March 2023, Dr. Sogunle, having failed to secure the Labour Party governorship ticket and having seen his candidacy excluded from the INEC list, unilaterally collapsed the Labour Party structure into an alliance with the PDP, just 24 hours before the governorship election. He charged all Obidients and Labour Party members to vote for the PDP’s Ladi Adebutu, a decision that was never ratified by any competent organ of the party.

What Dr. Sogunle has never explained — and what our current State Chairman, Apagun Olaolu Samuel Babatunde, has now publicly confirmed — is the financial dimension of that alliance. A substantial sum, running into over two hundred and thirty million naira, was eventually agreed by him to have been released to facilitate the logistics of that electoral collaboration. Dr. Sogunle, who positioned himself as the principal recipient, allegedly never disbursed the funds to the party structures that were expected to execute the alliance on the ground.

When party members confronted him, he initially claimed the money was given to him personally. Only under sustained pressure did he release a paltry N300,000 to each local government chairman and sums of N4,000,000 and above to a select group of close allies and those who threatened to petition the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). This is the conduct of a man who has the audacity to lecture Ogun State on institutional integrity.

*THE PREBENDALISM IRONY: POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK*

Dr. Sogunle’s article invokes the scholarly concept of prebendalism to attack Senator Solomon Adeola and the APC. We make no defence of the APC, but we note the profound hypocrisy. Prebendalism, as Richard Joseph defined it, describes a system where state offices are captured to sustain patron-client networks and procure electoral compliance. Is this not precisely what Dr. Sogunle himself represents?

He joined the Labour Party not out of ideological conviction but as a placeholder for a larger political transaction. He used our platform to negotiate an alliance that served his personal interests. He held onto a Labour Party membership while simultaneously serving as the Director-General of a rival party’s campaign. And he now writes eloquent treatises about “institutional architecture” while his own political career has been an exercise in institutional vandalism.

The proof of Dr. Sogunle’s true character lies not in his prose but in his practice. He is the very embodiment of the transactional politician he claims to despise.

*THE NATIONAL BODY MUST ACT*

The Labour Party, under the legitimate leadership of National Chairman Senator Nenadi Esther Usman, is a party of principle, built on the pillars of social justice, equity, and the dignity of labour. It is not a political hostel where aspirants lodge temporarily before checking into the highest bidder’s mansion. 

We therefore call on the National Working Committee of the Labour Party, under Senator Nenadi Usman, to immediately institute disciplinary proceedings against Dr. Kehinde Sogunle for anti-party activities. His continued claim to Labour Party membership while openly directing the campaign of another party’s gubernatorial candidate is a flagrant violation of our constitution and a betrayal of every member who shed sweat and resources to build this party in Ogun State.

The National body must also demand a full account of the funds that were deployed during the 2023 LP-PDP alliance. If Dr. Sogunle received money in the name of the Labour Party and failed to remit it, that is not merely an internal disciplinary matter; it is a matter for the anti-graft agencies.

*TO THE PEOPLE OF OGUN STATE*

We urge the good people of Ogun State to see Dr. Sogunle for what he is: a political merchant who trades in the currency of deception. His belated rediscovery of progressive politics, his sudden romance with institutional reform, and his theatrical denunciation of prebendalism are all part of a script written for the benefit of his current paymasters.

The Labour Party in Ogun State remains the authentic vehicle for the emancipation of the masses. Under the leadership of our State Chairman, Apagun Olaolu Samuel Babatunde, and the national leadership of Senator Nenadi Usman, we are rebuilding our structures, reconciling our ranks, and preparing to present a credible, people-centred alternative in 2027. We do not need the contaminated endorsements of political itinerants.

Dr. Sogunle may write as many articles as he wishes. He may quote scholars and invoke lofty concepts. But the people of Ogun State know the difference between a man who builds institutions and a man who plunders them. They know the difference between a committed progressive and a transactional politician.

The Labour Party stands with the former. Dr. Sogunle belongs to the latter.

Signed,

*Kika Glasgow*

OPINION: POLITICS OF DIVERSION, SUBVERSION AND IMPUNITY IN OGUN STATE— Apagun

Apagun 

For several times I had been hearing about it, and I always thought in this century it must be a story concocted by the opposition to tarnish another in order to sway sympathy votes.

That assumption changed yesterday evening.

On a rush to a meeting in Sagamu, passing through Awolowo Market, I saw it with my own eyes. Standing boldly in front of the market was the photograph in question. Some parts of the market are being pulled down, while a project linked to the Federal Cooperative College from Oyo State is being built there, presented as some sort of intervention for Ogun State.

It dawned on me that what people had been whispering about Senator Adeola Olamilekan, popularly called Yayi, the APC gubernatorial candidate and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation, deserved closer scrutiny.

The Diversion Question

The central question is simple: why should a federal institution domiciled in Oyo State be executing projects in an Ogun State market? In Nigerian budgeting, constituency projects are often routed through MDAs outside their mandate areas. Critics call this diversion, a shifting of public resources from their statutory purpose to political branding.

This is not just about Yayi. It is about a system where budget lines are inserted, agencies are used as conduits, and the real source of funding, taxpayers money, is repackaged as personal generosity.

Recent reports lend weight to public concern. Civic groups and petitioners have in recent months asked the EFCC and ICPC to investigate issues ranging from the distribution of transformers presented as birthday gifts, to the 119 campaign vehicles donated to Yayi's campaign, to alleged irregularities in the 2026 budget linked to his committee. afafbb30cae0

These are petitions and allegations, not convictions. But in a democracy, they cannot simply be waved away.

Subversion of Institutions

Subversion happens when institutions meant to check power become tools of power. When a market built for traders in Ogun is demolished and rebuilt in the name of an outside college, traders ask: who approved this, under what mandate, and for whose benefit?

When the lion kills the children of the poor, we assume the community is being sanctified. But when it captures the children of the noble, we cry foul and tag it an abomination. That proverb captures our selective outrage. Impunity thrives when we normalize it against the weak and only condemn it when it touches the powerful.

Impunity and the Burden of Proof

To be clear, alleging that a public official "has a case to answer" is different from establishing guilt. What is on record is that petitions seeking probe of campaign finance limits and budget insertions have been submitted to anti graft agencies. It is the duty of the EFCC and ICPC to investigate dispassionately, and the duty of the accused to cooperate transparently. bb30cae0

Impunity is not only about breaking the law. It is about acting in a way that suggests the law does not apply. Building political capital with public funds, relocating projects across state lines without clear justification, and branding government interventions as personal favours all feed that perception.

Conclusively , what I saw at Awolowo Market was more than a building project. It was a symbol. It represents a politics where diversion is normalized, subversion is strategized, and impunity is performed in broad daylight.

Nigeria cannot build democratic values on this foundation. If Ogun State is to move forward, citizens must demand three things: transparency in how constituency projects are sited and funded, accountability from anti graft agencies to treat petitions on merit, and honesty from political actors to separate personal philanthropy from public expenditure.

Until then, the story will no longer sound like opposition gossip. It will look like what it is: a test of whether our democracy can defend itself.
