Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has clarified that his absence at the Peoples Democratic Party’s National Conference held in Abuja on Thursday should not be misinterpreted to mean that he is at loggerheads with Prince Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee.
Fayose said he is solidly behind the NWC in its strides to reposition the party and return its winning streak that makes the party the darling to all Nigerians.
The governor was conspicuously absent at the conference attended by party bigwigs like Governors Idris Wada of Kogi, Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State, Ibrahim Dankwabo of Gombe State, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, acting BOT Chairman, Alhaji Haliru Mohammed, Chief Ojo Madekwe, ex-PDP governors, serving senators  and other party top-notchers.
Fayose , who  gave the clarification in Afao Ekiti during a  chat with journalists, said he has been taking time to attend to many issues over his 55th birthday slated for Sunday, November 15, which he said prevented him from attending  the conference.
“I am observing prayers here in Afao Ekiti. This weekend is my 55th birthday. I have been receiving several guests  and  I have a lot of people to meet and preparations to make.
“So, whatever the PDP leaders do at that level, I support them. I think the party even acknowledged the fact that there were things I have done here that had been of tremendous benefits to the party. So, my presence there to me means nothing. That is the way I feel”, Fayose clarified.

However, reports said this is being politically correct as indications have emerged that Fayose is not on good terms with the Secondus-led team. Many within the opposition PDP still finger Fayose as one of the principal actors whose actions and uterances led to the party's exit from power after 16 years of ruling Nigeria without nterruption until now.

Wiz Khalifa Makes Fresh Baby News (Entertainment)

American rapper, Wiz Khalifa is one American rapper who has made a name for himself in the music industry as a cool, easy going star who shun any form of drama but is full of surprises. When he met and married model Amber Rose, it took everyone by surprise. Moreso, when before people knew he was dating Rose, she was pregnant. And just as we are grappling with that information, they made it official and got married. Their son, Sebastian Bash, was born soon afterwards. They led a very public life with regular appearances on red carpets, award ceremonies and industry events. Following their divorce however, Khalifa went back to living a near reclusive life. He is rarely seen in public apart from when he's on stage. He does not attend red carpet events, clubs, parties or events that he grew accustomed to while married to Rose. He steers clear of controversy too. And no one knows anything about his love life. So, it is a pleasant surprise to hear Khalifa doing it the Khalifa way as he
