I Won’t Work Against You – Governor Fayose Tells Gbenga Daniel


Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has declared that he would not work against Otunba Gbenga Daniel’s bid for the chairmanship of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, referring to him as one of the best in the party.

Governor Fayose made this assertion in Ekiti on Saturday while receiving Otunba Daniel’s campaign team in continuation of the team’s nationwide tour ahead of the PDP National Convention coming up on the 9th of December, 2017.

“You are one of our best in the PDP and having shown desire to lead the party, we would commit it into the hands of God because with him, all things are possible. It also involves the decision of all the stakeholders and I want to assure you that I won’t work against you because it will not be in the best interest”, he said.

Continuing, he stressed that Otunba Daniel’s age and political experience are much needed in today’s politics to be able to face the rigours of administering and coordinating the affairs of a party as big as the PDP. His words: “You have the energy, strength, agility and experience working for you in this contest”.

In response, Otunba Daniel congratulated Fayose on the great transformation he has brought into Ekiti State. “I drove through Ikere to Ado Ekiti on my way and I marvelled at the level of transformation the State has witnessed. Not only that, you have continued to sustain the legacy of Education in Ekiti State evident of which was the great feat recorded in the just concluded WAEC/NECO Examination which was acclaimed all over the country and beyond”.

“As you go through the brief few months of your tenure, Ekiti people would never forget you, in fact, they would have wished to keep you for more years if not for the constitution. But, nonetheless, I am of the belief that your politics is not over because your best is yet to come.

“As one of the most heard voice of opposition in the country, you have always remained bold and courageous and stood your ground in any circumstance.”

Otunba Daniel then spoke of his rating among other aspirants as the most competent.

“We need a Chairman who will bring back PDP to power and to achieve this is no joke. Removing an incumbent party is not a tea party and so, all hands must be on deck to formulate strategies to win the forthcoming National elections.

“I have been to the Northern, Eastern and Southern parts of the country but deemed it fit to kick start the campaign in the Southwest from Ekiti State first as the homestead of the only sitting PDP governor in the Southwest.

“It is my belief that elections are won in all departments and so my campaign team is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that all are involved in the project”, he concluded.

President Hassan Rouhani of Iran on Tuesday declared the end of Islamic State in an address broadcast live on state TV. A senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Maj.-Gen.

Tech How Alibaba turned an obscure, made-up Chinese holiday into a $17.8 billion shopping extravaganza that's bigger than Black Friday

Alibaba raked in over $8 billion in sales in the first hour of its made-up marketing holiday, "Singles Day." Singles Day has its roots in an obscure Chinese holiday for students who had not married yet. Alibaba CEO Jack Ma capitalized expertly on the holiday, and now, Singles Day dwarfs traditional American shopping holidays like Black Friday, and is much larger than Amazon's "Prime Day." Alibaba turned Singles Day, the Chinese holiday for the single-set, into a huge economic opportunity through a savvy marketing blitz. The company raked in well over $8 billion during the first hour of this year's sale, largely through its online shopping platforms, Taobao.com and Tmall.com as well as a glitzy gala. Students at Nanjing University first celebrated Singles Day in 1993 as an appreciation of, you guessed it — being single. They picked November 11 (11/11) as an ode to the loneliness of the number one. But Single’s Day was never meant to be a somber aff...

Popular footballer, Osaze Odemwingie has tendered a public apology to Kanu Nwankwo’s family after calling out his wife, Amara Kanu. Osaze had had an outburst on social when he called out Kanu Nwankwo’s wife for disturbing him with chats which he found disturbing. According to Odemwingie, he misread meanings to the messages of wanting to talk to him. In a lengthy post, the retired Nigerian footballer appealed to the Nwankwo’s family while sharing the two snapshots below. “Picture two shows where my relationship with my Big bro @kingkanu4 was just few months ago. I was misunderstood, acted out of anger or reading too much into the greetings. I am on same page with Gods people who think the type of liberty they talking about is not good for the world. We can do things innocently and wear cloths with signs and symbols we don’t understand but indirectly representing them. PRESS BROUGHT A DIFFERENT NARRATIVE INTO THE MATTER BUT MAYBE DOWN TO LACK OF CLARITY OF WHAT UPSET ME. I ME...
