APC Youths Denounce Ojudu Over Ekiti Impeachment Plans

Youths aligned to the All Progressives Congress (APC) have accused Senator Babafemi Ojudu, representing Ekiti Central senatorial district, of fueling the crisis in the state by planning the impeachment of Governor Ayodele Fayose.

The youth, under the aegis of Ekiti APC Youths Congress (EAYC), alleged  Ojudu recruited people from Lagos to speak in his defence in his roles in the current impeachment move against governor Fayose.


“If the ultimate beneficiary of Fayose’s impeachment will be someone like Senator Babafemi Ojudu, we the youths in the APC will wash our hands off it,” read a statement signed by Convener and Secretary, TopeOgunkuade, and Tunji Adeleye, respectively.

Some APC politicians are behind the move to impeach Fayose for alleged  human rights violations while it is claimed his election last June was characterised by irregularities.

The pair claimed Ojudu had not assisted any youth in the APC. “Even his father’s house in Ado-Ekiti, he left it in dilapidated form. Apart from fighting against governors in the State and pulling their governments down, Ojudu cannot point to one single benefit that he has brought to Ekiti before and now that he is a senator.

“We even wonder why he (Ojudu) is not ashamed that he had to recruit faceless civil rights groups from Lagos to defend him, instead of youths in Ekiti State rising up to defend him,” the statement read.

The youths also reiterated their warning to Ojudu to stop leading the rebellion against former Governor Kayode Fayemi.

“Fayemi is the only leader of the APC in Ekiti State that we know. Ojudu and his Action Group can go and form their own party if they want a party which will be controlled by someone like Ojudu that cannot winelection even in his own father¹s house,” the youths added.

Quest for justice, peace, truth, and a better Nigeria.

Today, good appears as evil, and evil is celebrated as good. There seems to be no room for dialogue. People shout at and insult each other without any understanding of what the other’s issues are. Truth is nowhere to be found in many of these conversations. Frankly, I could go on listing our world’s present shortcomings. However, that may do little to encourage improvement or inspire hope. Many injustices still plague our world. Poverty amid surplus, religious intolerance, racism, gender discrimination, and many more. The need for change cannot be overstated.  In many communities across the globe, people are crying out for a transformation from the current world order. Therefore, the question remains, “Do we turn away and give up in our quest for justice, peace, truth, and a better world?”  The answer for me is a resounding NO! We must recognize that until we challenge our world’s problems, we will continue to live in fear, lack, and anger. Eleanor Roosevelt once s...

The Fleeting Nature of Time

As I scrolled through the faded photograph, the faces of my former classmates stared back at me - a relic from a time long passed. There was Ms. Sola, our teacher, standing resolute in the center, her stern gaze commanding our rapt attention. And there were the familiar names, each one a thread in the tapestry of my youth: Sharon, Delani, Kola, Hazumo, Gafar, Ibrahim the drummer boy, Moji, Sijibomi, Damilola, Esther, Moses, Bimbo, and of course, my own humble self. Time, that elusive and relentless force, had swept us all along on its inexorable march. The carefree days of Evaton Nursery and Primary School, where knowledge, values, and good morals were imparted, now felt like a lifetime ago. How quickly the years had slipped through our fingers, leaving us changed, molded by the experiences that followed. As I gazed at the photograph, I couldn't help but reflect on the fleeting nature of time. The innocent faces in the image, frozen in a moment of captured history, now ...
