I Can Die For PDP: Toyin Aimakhu reacts to backlash

Actress Toyin Aimakhu has reacted to negative comments targeted at her after proclaiming that she can die for her favourite party, PDP few days ago.
The fair-skinned thespian made the statement during President Goodluck Jonathan’s meeting with some 5,000 youths on March1st, 2015 at the Eko Hotels&Suites, Lagos.
 In a press statement released today,Toyin who was the compere of the event tagged “Meet The President” stated that she was only being sarcastic that it is pathetic for anyone to take her word seriously.

“Our country has given its citizens the right to freedom of speech and right to vote and be voted for, I’m most definitely not an exception. As of 1999, Nigeria has about 29 political parties, allowing every citizen to choose at their own free will. It is then left to us not to undermine the decision or choices of others as it is loathsome. 

We live in a world where people take pleasure in bringing other people down. I feel obliged to address the matter of me dying for the PDP. 
Firstly, no one is dying for anyone and the last time I checked only Jesus had died for us with no strings attached or money promised to his family when he’s gone. He died to save us all. Having pointed that out, I will like to say, I will not , in any way, for no reason whatsoever, die for a person or a political party. 
Secondly, I personally feel it is pathetic for anyone to take my word literally when it was simply a joke. As a successful Nollywood actress, it is not unusual for people in my line of work to use the phrase ‘ha baba, walai mo love yin gaan mo le ku fun yin ni sir’ with smiles on their faces. 
This was me, just doing my job as a host of the event, trying to be funny, which by the way, worked. It is absurd to take my word out of context. 
Furthermore, my choices, should however in no way be a channel for condemnation. Celebrities and public figures, just like every other people, are allowed to campaign, vote and support whomever and however we please. 
As many great political parties we have, we cannot vote for them all. It is a one man, one vote society. I love everyone as best as I can, most especially my fans ,make your choice, respect the choice of others, let it be, and most especially, do not allow the choice of others affect yours. 
‎
In conclusion, let’s try to help others grow and support them. Don’t let the success of others make you feel resentment against them or envious, simply learn from them and strive to do better. 
I wish everyone safe, free and fair election.” She wrote.

Prof. Yemi Osinbajo sues Femi Fani-Kayode for defamation, demands N20bn.

‎Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has sued the Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples’ Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization, Femi Fani-Kayode over his “defamatory statements” against him. He also gave him a 7- day ultimatum to retract his statements and apologise on 4 television channels and national newspapers.
Recall that the former Aviation minister in a press briefing held few days ago had said Bola Tinubu, the APC’s National Leader, had nominated Mr. Osinbajo as part of plans to come to power through the back door and had also ‎compelled him to swear to an oath that after six months in office, he would resign as the vice president. He added that the plot is to force Osinbajo to resign for Tinubu to be nominated by Buhari as his replacement.
Below are excerpts of the letter the Senior Advocate Of Nigeria wrote through his lawyer, Femi Falana to Femi Fani-Kayode.

“Be advised that if we do not receive your formal retraction and apology and damages as demanded within seven days of receipt hereof, we shall proceed with our client’s instructions to seek appropriate legal remedies for your publication and dissemination of defamatory statements,” 

As it were, the statement has now been published and circulated to an undetermined number of people in Nigeria, and internationally outside Nigeria. The direct meaning, imputation, purport and/or innuendo or insinuation of the false, misleading and defamatory statements is that: ‘Professor Osinbajo is deceitful.


 Essentially, you alleged that his motivation and pledge to serve as Vice President of Nigeria is inconsistent with his avowed desire to serve this nation with General Buhari, and work assiduously to deliver the benefits of his commitment, party and personal promises to the people.’

“Your characterization of Professor Osinbajo as a ‘stooge’ in context suggests that he is complicit in a fraud against the Nigerian people.”
“It is clear that the entire publication was a vicious, wicked and reckless ploy to impugn the reputation of our client and lower him in the estimation of right thinking members of the public,” Mr. Falana wrote.‎

Ex Super Eagles coach, Chief Onigbinde counsels Keshi

Ex Super Eagles handler, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde has implored  Stephen Keshi to take a thorough look at the new contract offered him by ‎the Nigeria Football Federation  (NFF ) before turning it down or accepting it‎.

Recall that the former Togo coach complained about the clauses in the new deal which is effective from March 1st that he even tagged it a “slave contract”.

The FIFA instructor said although Keshi can’t be forced to accept what won’t favour him but, “my advice to him is to study the contract very well before accepting the deal. If what I’ m reading in the newspaper is anything to go by, I think he should be very careful. A contract that has the benefit shifting too much to the employer is not too good , it will make the employee to be at the mercy of the employer . So Keshi should be vigilant, “ Onigbinde counselled .

Tinubu sues AIT for N20bn

APC Chieftain and ex Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sued renowned broadcast media outfit, African Independent Television (AIT) for publishing a ‎false and malicious documentary titled, ‘Unmasking The Real Tinubu” yesterday, March 1st, 2015 at about 11pm.
A press release from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s media office reads.

“All Progressives Congress National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to sue the management of the Daar Communications Limited, owners of the Africa Independent Television, AIT for the defamatory content of a documentary aired on Sunday.

Counsel to Asiwaju Tinubu, Tunji Abayomi, said a letter asking Daar Communications to apologize for the content and stop further airing was delivered this afternoon.

” … You aired an hour long documentary focussing on our client (Bola Tinubu). Clearly pre-occupied with political resentment and hatred neither warranted, necessary, proper, or justified, you published several false allegations against our client…More disturbing is your misrepresentation that the said documentary was “sponsored” without disclosing the “sponsors”.

 You cannot under law, hide under media freedom to maliciously injure a citizen’s reputation”.
The letter also demanded for N20billion (Twenty Billion Naira) as cost of damage done to the reputation of its client failing which the client will sue the company.

“…to affirm the right of our client against your defamatory publication, we demand that you confirm to us within 24 hours of receipt of this letter, an apology and retraction of the said publication/documentary.”

Femi Fani-Kayode fires more shots at Tinubu, Lai Mohammed.

All these accusations, counter accusations, name-calling and fracas between both parties will end someday. Another one from Femi Fani-Kayode. This was posted on his facebook page.)

“It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but rather Bola Tinubu that slurs when he speaks. It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but rather Bola Tinubu that has to take 20 pills before he can go out. It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but Bola Tinubu that his hands shake when he tries to lift his fork and knife and eat.

It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but rather the spokesman of the APC, Lai Mohammed, that is rotting from inside and that has the chronically bad breath of a rabid poll cat. Lai’s breath is so bad that it is enough to knock out a polar bear from across the street.
It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but rather Lai Mohammed who is suffering from loose bowel movements and who defecates every other minute to the point that he often has to wear pampers when he goes on long journeys.
So, if anybody wants to talk about ill health. They should talk about themselves and not about me. I repeat my name is Femi Fani-Kayode, and nobody can kill me before my time. Nobody can cut me short.
I harbor no fear of violence but I do not take threats lightly. Neither do I fear for my life. Because I have never shed innocent blood and because I do not believe in violence or worship the devil, the Angel of the Lord will strike dead any person or any group of persons that seek to take my life or the life of any of my loved ones.
This I decree in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the God whose I am and the God whom I serve”

Below is the article that prompted Femi Fani-Kayode’s response.  Tinubu released the statement via one of his Special Assistants.
“Fani-Kayode is not as smart as he thinks. If you read between the lines of his hysteria you see another extreme sentiment: that of surging desperation. His statement indicates that even he now realizes that his pay master has lost to Buhari/Osinbajo. 

The game is over. The whistle has blown. What the fantasy man seeks to do is change the game. He seeks to run against Tinubu in hopes the outcome will be better. Fani now grasps at straw in the night wind.”

That FFK(Femi Fani-Kayode) is the best a ruling party can do as a spokesman speaks volumes about the PDP. They are bereft of talent and character. They are filled with lies and chicanery. FFK is simply the worst and most outspoken of a bad lot.”

“Instead of scaring the people away from the APC, his work scares people that someone so unfit is so close to the seat of power, someone so unhinged is given free rein to spit bile and call that public discourse. One must wonder who is unbalanced, the misfit or he who hires him. Keep at it FFK. Continue.”
“Most Nigerians are fed up with this government and desire change. They await eagerly that opportunity at the polls. They cannot tolerate four more years of a Fani Kayode, of his paymasters and his utterances. That is your agony Fani Kayode and of course that of the PDP and its gang of destroyers. 


You will not be able to persuade majority of Nigerians who are prepared to use their vote for a positive change. And if only to shield the populace from your peculiar brand of abuse of power both you and your boss must go.”

“For the job he is hired to do, it is expected that a Fani Kayode will be blinded to the positive nature of the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket. If he has failed to read and do some research on the character of an Osinbajo, let me help him.
“Yemi Osinbajo is fiercely independent. A brilliant mind of great character and a consummate reformer and legal crusader. You will not dare speak of him in this manner. 


The APC ticket is of people of great resolve. But because among your own crowd you have people who will willingly destroy not only our institutions and country you think so of others.

“APC is a party with people of impeccable character. Courageous and patriotic leaders who are out to rescue our nation. And you, Fani Kayode are on record to have said so in several interviews.”‎

“Femi Fani Kayode cannot just leave Tinubu alone because they see him as their political nemesis. But Tinubu will not be their dart board . If they want to see the culprit behind their flagging misfortune, they do not need to glare at Tinubu. They should go home and peer into the nearest mirror. Therein their trouble lies.

“Now that FFK has revealed why his party, the PDP has consistently persecuted Bola Tinubu through phony Code of Conduct Tribunal, massive unjustified attacks against his character and integrity, intimidation and harassment.

“They all have failed. In what is a classic case of abuse of power, the government you now work for have accused Tinubu in the past of baseless and unproven allegations whereas in your party, including yourself, there are wolves feasting on the commonwealth of the people.

“For a leadership that cannot define corruption and theft, we are left with a gang of plunderers. You have openly and secretly stolen and plundered the wealth of the nation without the slightest concern about morality and the suffering masses.”‎
