Posted by Admin                                                              Ekiti State Government has challenged the governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi to begin his probe of the Ayodele Fayose led government now instead of waiting till October 16 that he will be sworn in, saying; “it is obvious that he will be consumed in his vendetta mission and rather than grandstanding, Fayemi should first seek legitimacy for his stolen mandate. ” Governor Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said in his reaction to Fayemi’s threat that “he (Fayemi) should stop living in the world where threat of probe scares people because we in the government of Fayose are not afraid of victimization and vendetta that Fayemi is obviously coming with.” He described Fayemi as a beneficiary of a stolen mandate...

By Pelumi Olajengbesi Esq. I started my independent life by training as a reputation manager, so I probably understand public perception management and behavioural effects in a manner that would escape a casual observer. Nigerians have a way of designing stories to soothe their narrative ignoring the lessons therein. I have been seeing posts with the claims that the Ekiti election was rigged- this is simply not exactly so. The Ekiti Gubernatorial Election was substantially credible, free and fair than expected except for the open money inducement which in itself is against the law but has been a normal tradition with us for long.

I am a PDP member and I will remain in the party because I believe the current APC Federal Government is a disaster. However, I think PDP lost for the f...

But one strand of description stood out as it featured at different commissioning ceremonies in the health sector. It came from the leader of the medical ...
