 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers.

 Fayose’s brother quits PDP, withdraws from Ekiti governorship race

Otunba Emmanuel Fayose has withdrawn from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary in Ekiti State, citing alleged compromise by the party’s national leadership.

Fayose, younger brother of former Governor Ayodele Fayose, announced his decision at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday. 

He accused PDP National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, of working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I am using this occasion to formally announce my decision and that of my teeming supporters to resign our membership from the PDP,” Fayose said.

According to him, the party’s leadership under Damagum and Anyanwu has “hindered the progress of the PDP in Ekiti State,” making the governorship primary an exercise already programmed for failure.

Efforts to get a response from the PDP National Chairman on Fayose’s allegations were unsuccessful as a text message sent to him was not replied.

“Gentlemen of the press, credible information available at my disposal revealed that the process of the PDP primaries for the Ekiti governorship election has already been compromised.

“Whoever emerges as a candidate will not be recognised by INEC to contest against the ruling APC in the state.

“In view of this, i hereby dissociate myself from this kangaroo arrangement. i urge my teeming supporters and associates to remain calm as I make consultations on my next plan of action,” Otunba Emmanuel Fayose stated.

“If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life, sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.”
