‘Liar, No Sane Country Will Accept You’ -Omoleye Sowore
Activist, Omoyele Sowore, has slammed Femi Fani-Kayode, describing the former Minister of Aviation as a liar.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently appointed Ita Solomon Enang as Nigeria’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Federal Republic of Germany.
Femi Fani-Kayode, who was deployed earlier to Germany as an ambassador, was redeployed to South Africa
Fani-Kayode came on X to announce his redeployment and claimed he made the request himself, adding, among other claims, that he likes South Africa.
In a post on X, Fani-Kayode said, “I am pleased to announce that Mr. President has graciously approved my appointment as Nigeria’s Ambassador-Designate to South Africa.”
“This decision came just a few days after the initial announcement of my posting to Germany, and after I formally communicated to the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, my discomfort with Germany due to several personal reasons.
“Given that I have spent most of my life in Europe, I expressed my preference for South Africa, a country I have never visited but have a strong interest in.
“I also conveyed my desire to serve in a nation that aligns with my beliefs, convictions, and values regarding global affairs, one that boasts the largest economy in Africa, maintains closer ties with Nigeria, and resonates more closely with my political perspectives on foreign relations and a pan-African vision.
“Consequently, I submitted a request for redeployment to South Africa two days after the initial announcement. I am delighted to report that after the then Foreign Minister (H.E. Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar) considered my reasons, he favorably relayed my request to Mr. President, who graciously approved it.”
In his reaction, Sowore wrote on X, “If you trust claims like those from @realFFK, you’re likely to believe almost anything.
“Of course, he is lying, no sane country would accept an unstable character like Femi Fani-Kayode as a diplomat in their country.”

In this Presidential Election, PDP Will Retain Power in Oyo Despite Challenges – Ex-Deputy Gov Gbolarumi
A former Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Hazeem Gbolarumi, has declared that Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will retain power in the state in 2027, despite current challenges in the party.
Gbolarumi made this assertion on Saturday shortly after he submitted his nomination form ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial election at the party’s National Secretariat, Wadata House, in Abuja.
Our correspondent reports that Gbolarumi arrived at the PDP secretariat with a large entourage of Oyo State party faithful, where he was received by senior PDP officials and zonal leaders.
Among those who were on hand to receive him were PDP National Treasurer, Diran Odeyemi, National Publicity Secretary, Mohammed Jungudo and South West Zonal Publicity Secretary, Comrade Akinloye Olusegun Oyeniyi.
Others are National Women Leader, Professor Adenike Ogunshe, State Chairman, Professor Rahman Akinoso, Oyo South Senatorial aspirant, Bolanle Sarumi and other party chieftains from the 33 local government areas of the state.
Gbolarumi, speaking after submitting the form, insisted that the party is poised to retain power in Oyo in 2027.
The former deputy governor urged all members of the party to embrace unity, noting that efforts are being made to address the current challenges in the party.
Gbolarumi said, “Today is another epoch making day in the history of our great party and our dear state. I am here to submit my nomination forms.
“As at Today, PDP remains a party to beat. We remain resolute in retaining power in Oyo State in 2027.
“We are not unmindful of some challenges, we are making efforts to overcome all our challenges in the party. Each political party has its own peculiarities. But, we will overcome all our challenges before the election.
“None of the political parties in Oyo State has the capacity to beat us in the election. We are going to retain the power in Oyo State. I want to thank the party leadership and grassroots members for their support. My aspiration was anchored on party unity, strengthening the PDP’s base in Oyo, and presenting a credible alternative to voters in 2027.”
Nigeria midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi has expressed his desire to remain at Olympic Marseille beyond this summer, NAIJAJINGLES reports.
Nnadi linked up with the Ligue 1 club from Belgian Pro League outfit, Zulte Waregem during the winter transfer window.
The 22-year-old has however struggled for regular playing time at the club.
The defensive midfielder has featured in six league matches for Marseille, mostly coming off the bench.
Nnadi has been linked with an exit from Les Phocéens this summer.
The player has however ruled out that possibility, insisting that he is ready to fight for his place.
“I don’t know what the future holds, but I want to stay and prove that I belong to this club. I deserve to be here. I think I’ve reached the most difficult point,” Nnadi was quoted by L’Equipe.
