The Word "FATE" is an acronym for Fayemi, Amaechi, Tambuwal and El-Rufai. They sit in the APC to actualise their selfish interest above collective interest of the Party. Same things played out in Bayelsa, the main opponent of Lyon David was not Seriake Dickson nor Douye Diri but this FATE cabals who think they must stop Tinubu camp. Indeed they are enemies in the house.  I was surprised that  some people are mocking me because my candidate and Party lost in Edo State.  What  do they want me to  do?  To run amok?  To die? Or change allegiance from

ODUDUWA REPUBLIC : AGAINST SECESSION: A TESTAMENT TO YORUBA LEADERS AND PROMOTERS OF ODUDUWA REPUBLIC

This was sent to me by Chief Duro Onabule, a Veteran Journalist. I don't agree with all the author's points, but I want to share it with you.

I write to you leaders of Yorubas to warn you to be careful; be extremely careful so that you don't make some fatal errors that will set Yorubas even further aback. Time
