Femi Fani Kayode leaves APC, joins PDP as he blocks me on Twitter- Odekunle Ifemidayo

Controversial and outspoken two-time former minister Femi Fani Kayode has left the APC and explains why he left the party in a statement released this evening...see below...

I declared for the APC in June last year in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti state well before the party was registered by INEC. I formally joined the party, amidst great fanfare, on 7th February 2014 in my hometown Ile-Ife and I registered my membership on that day. The registration was done outside the Ooni's palace and it was done in the prescence of the media, numerous party leaders in the state, including Hon. Rotimi Makinde, who represents Ile-Ife at the Federal House, and all the other key leaders of the APC in the state and Ife-Ife including Chief Akantioke and Alhaji Soko Adewoyin the former Deputy Governor of Osun state. After registering we proceeded to pay a courtesy call on my traditional ruler, the Ooni of Ife, and from there I went to spend a few days with Governor Rauf Aregbesola who, together with Governor Kayode Fayemi, I am close to and I consider to be friends.

HAPPY NEW MONTH PALS

Before You Abuse Our Police And Soldiers – Japheth J, Omojuwa

We miss the point a lot. We expect police officers whose salaries can barely feed our own pets to be up and doing at dilapidated rat holes called police stations. When they leave their workplaces for the barracks, they stay in some of the most demeaning housing projects you’d see anywhere in the world.

 

We want them to serve and protect with integrity but right from the point they are hired, we take their dignity away from them. We can pretend all we like, but the mess we see in our system is the mess we invested in it.

 

Channels Television got knocks from those who ought to praise it for bringing the state of the Police College Ikeja under public scrutiny. They said it was done to discredit the President, the same way anyone who points out the way to make our country better is said to do it to discredit the President.

OAU students protest tuition hike, block Ilesa-Ife Expressway

Hundreds of commuters and motorists got stuck at the Ipetumodu area on the Ilesa-Ife Expressway on Tuesday as students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State protested against the hike in fees by the management of the university.

 

Undergraduates as well as postgraduate students, led by the President-elect of the Students Union, Mr. Isaac Ibikunle, marched from the campus to the expressway, which links the South West to the North, and barricaded the highway with woods and tyres.

 

They chanted songs and refused to yield to pleas from travellers and motorists who were held down in the ensuing gridlock.

 

Policemen drafted to the scene pleaded with the students to open the highway, but they remained adamant. They stated that those held in the traffic would be educated on the negative effects of the action of the Federal Government in collaboration with the management of the OAU.
