Famadewa, Ribadu and the 90-day security plan: Unpacking Onanuga’s release

Assessing Metuh’s era as PDP spokesman
The easiest way to measure the fifteen month tenure of Chief Olisa Metuh as the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is to gauge the results of the creativity that generated not only activities, but enervated the external communication of the ruling party and brought its operations on the same page with modern professional nuances.
Fani-Kayode and his naked dance
I HAD intended not to dignify Femi Fani Kayode with any response since he decided to dance naked in the market place.

RE: Femi, you are hunted by shadows of St. Paul
For weeks, you painted the town red with venomous aggression and hostility against the Bible, not against St. Paul.
