By Ayu Esuku | Fountain Newsbreaker  A group of Christians who are pastors and members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Ado-Ekiti have asked for unity and togetherness amongst Nigerians in a peaceful protest. They made this known at a peace walk in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State capital, as they came out in their hundreds to protest, calling for an end to the incessant killings of innocent Nigerians whilst using religion as a disguise. This protest was in reaction to the leaching and killing of a Christian girl, Deborah Samuel by her Muslim classmates in Sokoto State, which happened on May 12 2022, for alleged blasphemy. The protesters which comprised of pastors-in-charge of zones,areas, parishes, workers, and members who were majorly youths, carried placards with inscriptions; 'Let's be our brothers' keeper', 'Let's live together in peace', 'No Killing in the name of God', 'God is watching' amongst others.

By Esuku Anyanwu (Fountain Newsbreaker) As the elections tension in Ekiti State heightens, Governor Kayode Fayemi has debunked an alleged report by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) that he has set up a task force to disrupt the June 18,2022  elections in the state. The governor who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode,  described the report as another dubious and ridiculous fabrication from the  SDP to distract well meaning Nigerians and bring a dent on his impeccable reputation Meanwhile,the report was a fallout of a purported petition written by one Owoseeni Ajayi to security agencies in the state, alleging that some prominent citizens and union leaders in the state have been recruited by the Governor to disrupt the election.   He therefore reiterated his commitment to improving the quality of lives of Ekiti citizens through effective implementation of the five-point development agenda.

In a Press Release signed by the organisation’s National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, Afenifere said that the information and assurance that emanated from President Buhari’s message to Nigerians to mark this year’s Eid El Fitri celebration “fly against the reality on ground”. In his message released on Sunday April 30, 2022, by the Presidential spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, to mark the end of this year’s Ramadan fast, President Buhari had disclosed that the end to terrorism acts is very much in sight and that Nigerians have reasons to mark the Ramadan festival with hope as the “battle waged against terrorists who falsely masquerade under the name of Islam is approaching its conclusion”. But Ajayi, in the Release, stated that “ra

The Wednesday’s declaration, tagged “Unveiling My Nigeria Agenda”, is the climax of the Governor’s extensive consultations across the geo-political zones in the last six weeks. It will also lay to rest speculations on whether he would run for the Presidency or not. Dr Fayemi, had after discussing his plan to run for the number one office with President Mohammadu Buhari last month, sought counsel, guidance and support from traditional and political leaders across states in the federation.
