We also remember civilians and military personnel who lost their lives during this process, our administration will ensure that they did not die in vain. May their souls rest in peace and may God continue to comfort their families.

Grateful to my brother, His Excellency Bala Mohammed who led the leadership of the Allied Peoples' Movement on a visit to commiserate with us over the abduction of our children and teachers in Oriire LGA. It's been about one month since the incident. Together with the security agencies, we are doing everything possible to ensure they are safely returned to their families who have been in anguish. We will not relent until they are all back home where they belong.

We visited the scene of the explosion which occurred at about 7.44 pm yesterday, 16 January 2024 in Bodija, Ibadan. This unfortunate incident resulted in death and injury to residents in the vicinity and also affected properties. We have already deployed first responders and all relevant agencies within Oyo State to carry out comprehensive search and rescue operations. These operations will continue throughout the night. Earth moving equipment, ambulances, emergency lights, and security were deployed to the scene of the incident. The wounded and injured are being treated and moved to public and private hospitals within Ibadan. Medical personnel are on standby at these hospitals to provide all needed assistance to the injured. We have visited UCH to see some of those injured during the incident. In total, we have 77 injured victims so far, most of whom were treated and discharged and 2 fatalities. May their souls rest in peace and may God give their loved ones the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. I have directed that the medical bills of all victims be covered by the government. We will also be providing temporary accommodation for those whose houses were affected and ensuring that they are supported to rebuild their lives. Preliminary investigations by the security agencies revealed that illegal miners occupying one of the houses in Bodija had stored explosive devices there which caused the blast. The investigations are ongoing. All those found culpable for this will be brought to book. I urge all residents to please call 615 for any emergencies they may be experiencing at this time and to remain calm and stay away from the immediate scene of the incident to allow rescue operations to be carried out without interference. We are grateful to the first responders, security personnel and all those who are at the scene to assist with the rescue operations as well as the medical personnel taking care of the injured. Please say a prayer for those who have been affected by this disaster as we continue with the rescue operations.

Today, with the aim of safeguarding Nigeria’s democracy, we hosted a national summit that brought together opposition political party leaders, members of civil society and other relevant stakeholders. As I said in my welcome remarks, democracy is not defined by the success of one party. It is defined by the existence of real alternatives, by the ability of citizens to choose, and by the confidence that those choices matter. So, let me once again, thank everyone who participated in our deliberations and ensured that the Ibadan Declaration 2026 was birthed. Read my welcome address here

Earlier today, we received a team from the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Institute led by Dr Sandra Milach, the Chief Scientist of CGIAR in a closed-door meeting. Also in the entourage were Dr Simeon Ehui, Director General International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and Dr Bernard Vanlauwe, IITA’s Deputy Director General for Research for Development. Our discussions centred on appreciation of the role of the Oyo State Government in hosting IITA for almost 60 years and the support received on partnerships in the last seven years. We also discussed continued collaboration between the Oyo State Government and CGIAR centres through IITA, especially how science and innovations from the centres could further support the agricultural transformation of Nigeria and its food security.

Earlier today, I signed Executive Order No. 2 of 2026 on the Regulation and Enforcement of Vehicle Registration and Traffic Management in Oyo State to enhance security across our State. This includes a restriction on the operations of commercial motorcycle operators, popularly known as Okada riders between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. throughout Oyo State. In my remarks, I restated our commitment to ensuring the safe return of our children and teachers who were abducted from Oriire LGA. I said that we may not be able to disclose every step being taken because of the sensitive nature of the operations involved, but asked our people not to mistake our silence for inaction.
