The session, convened on…

Trump Effect in Gen. Musa’s Ministerial Appointment

By Farooq Kperogi While I am delighted that President Bola Tinubu appears to be taking security more seriously than he previously did (signaled by the appointment of General Christopher Musa as the new Minister of Defence, and hopefully this isn’t just a change in personnel without a substantive change in the approach to stamping out…

A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has condemned the alleged attack on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat in the state.

Mr Fayose, in a statement made available to journalists in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, called on security agencies to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators and their likely sponsors.

He said that it was strange and ridiculous that anyone in the state could still be engaging in such criminal acts.

According to him, this will be the last as far as PDP facilities are concerned.

“My attention has just been drawn to the attack on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat in Ekiti State by yet-to-be-identified thugs.

“The police must unravel those behind it and be made to face the full wrath of the law.

“And to those behind this, they are reminded that nobody knows the end of violence and nobody has (the) monopoly of violence too. They must be careful not to attempt it any further.

“This will be the last time such will happen to any PDP facility or our members in Ekiti, and those agents of violence and their sponsors, wherever they may be, are hereby warned.

“On this one, we have taken the hint and we won’t be intimidated by cowards,” he said.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Sunday Abutu, said that his office had yet to be notified of the attack.

He, however, promised to get back when he might have been officially briefed.
