Senators Grill Ekiti Career Ambassador Nominee Emmanuel Adeyemi for Failing to Name Three Senators from Ekiti State During a Senate screening on December 10, 2025, Emmanuel Adeyemi, a career diplomat and one of 65 ambassadorial nominees, faced sharp criticism after struggling to name all three senators representing his home state of Ekiti. Adeyemi, who serves as Acting Director in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and holds a PhD in International Relations from France, impressed the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs with his diplomatic experience in postings like Addis Ababa and Hong Kong. However, while acknowledging the lawmakers, he correctly identified Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central) and Yemi Adaramodu (APC, Ekiti South) but faltered on the third, Senator Cyril Fasuyi (APC, Ekiti North).

PROTESTERS STORM OJA OBA, ADO-EKITI, DEMAND REDUCTION IN TAXES. Traders and some residents of Ado Ekiti today staged a protest at Oja Oba market in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, appealing to the state government to reduce taxes and levies imposed on businesses. The protesters, who trooped to the popular market with their chants complained that the current tax burden was making it difficult for them to sustain their businesses and meet daily needs. The protesters also stated that the high taxes have forced many of them to consider shutting down their businesses. Some of the protesters noted that the increase in levies and daily dues has eaten deep into their profits, leaving them with little to reinvest in their goods. They appealed to the Ekiti State Government to engage market leaders and stakeholders in dialogue to find a more sustainable solution that won’t cripple commerce in the state.

Tinubu's Weaponization of Poverty In The South West is a Sad Sight to Behold.😢 Never has it been seen or heard that humans are being motivated to vote for a candidate with bread and garri until Tinubu happened to Nigeria.🤦🏾‍♂️ From Ekiti to Osun, we are seeing the degradation of humanity and of the very people he claims to represent. Tinubu/APC, in real time, are demonizing and making the Yoruba race a laughing stock, and it is sad to witness. For the good of the country, we CANNOT ALLOW this calamity to continue beyond 2027.

Contrary to the claims of naysayers, we did not import food. The recent drop in food prices across Nigerian markets is a direct result of the deliberate efforts of our President and leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to ensure food affordability for all Nigerians. I expressed this during my visit to Agbeyewa Farms, the 10,000 hectare cassava farm located in Ekiti State.

Tinubu is Currently Destroying The South West, While His Victims Focus On Bigotry… Charity, they say, begins at home, but that is not the case for Tinubu who is currently on a mission destroying the South West, and many are unknowingly doing Bigotry for him. From Osun to Oyo, to Ekiti, down to Ondo, he has imported insecurity into the region, and is currently fighting two of the Governors. It is 15 months now, and he is still yet to release 202 billion Naira Osun State LG funds despite the Supreme Court ruling; he is yet to visit Oyo State or even reach out since the kidn@pping of those innocent students. All the man cares about is himself and his selfish agenda to grab power; he hates Nigerians equally!

Dele Farotimi is trending because SAN Afe Babalola has finally withdrawn the criminal defamatory case against the activist, Farotimi. The withdrawal is believed to be due to the intervention of Ooni, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and 9 other monarchs yesterday. Now Nigerians are hailing Dele Farotimi for his triumph. But the case has not been totally withdrawn. The people at the meeting in ABUAD last night: Ooni of ife, Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers and the Olojudo of Ido Ekiti, Oba Ayorinde Ilori-Faboro; the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Adeyemo Adejugbe; the Ajero of Ijero Ekiti, Oba Joseph Adewole: the Ogoga of Ikere Ekiti, Oba Adejimi Adu; the Oloye of Oye Ekiti, Oba Michael Ademolaju; and the Alaaye of Efon Ekiti, Oba Emmanuel Aladejare. ICYMI: On December 3rd. Dele Farotimi was arrested by Ekiti men working for the SAN, Afe Babalola. And driven by road from Lagos to Ekiti, where he spent 21 days in jail. Before the arrest, Dele Farotimi explained that, his life was in danger. That, in 2021 he got intel that 6 people wanted him dead. He reported to the police and the police did nothing. Now, on this 11th of November, he got a letter inviting him to the station. On the 13th he went with his lawyer, and found out Tony Elumelu, wrote a petition accusing him of defamation. Which he thought was a baseless claim, he got released and was told to return on 21st. After he left, 3 days later, he heard one of his church members was kidnapped by the police, interrogated and forced to give up Dele Farotimi, by luring him to their churches so that they will arrest him. To make them cooperate, the police showed them a petition written by SAN Afe Babalola, at the Ekiti State Police Command, who is also accusing him of defamation, following his book “NIGERIA AND IT'S CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.” In the book Dele Farotimi exposed the criminality and the involvement of SAN Afe Babalola. And apparently, Afe Babalola is not happy about it and wants to “deal” with Dele Farotimi. So., the ekiti police who were now operating in Lagos tried to lure him, by luring his domestic staffs, when that didn’t work, they arrested his staff, and interrogated him to give up his boss’ address and contact. When that didn’t work, they finally resorted to abducting him that morning. According to reports, he was picked up by unidentified men this morning in his home office at Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. And no police station claimed responsibility. Until when TheCable has confirmed that, Ekiti State Police Command has claimed responsibility. Stating that they have an arrest warrant for Dele Farotimi, over alleged defamation, cyberbullying. Nigerians unanimously called for his unconditional immediate release. But according to Dele Farotimi, he believes Afe Babalola used Ekiti authorities to abduct him because he controls the state and it will be easy to deal with him there, even though the offense he commited are in Lagos. Afe Babalola is a 95yr old lawyer, farmer and educationist. He became a SAN in 1987. And has been active for 61ys. While the case was on. Several suits were filed in different states against Dele Farotimi. Afe Babalola also wrote a 90 page petition to The Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC), asking them to Disbar Dele Farotimi for unethical conduct. It was rejected. Also filed for the removal of the book from stores nationwide. Farotimi was granted 50M bail, which was taken by Peter Obi. He got released on 24th December 2024. And was asked not to grant any interviews. As he was released he said “I’ve never lied against anyone. We are fighting evil and it will be tough. If I don’t know, anything I’d be quiet.”
