 CAN Not Conspiring with Army to Destroy Shiites, Say Christian Elders The National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) has said there is no iota of truth in the allegation by the Iranian government that it is conspiring with the Nigerian Army to fight the Shiites movement in the northern part of Nigeria.

Still on Fayose Defence of Democracy Stop Reacting Like a Motor Park Tout, Fayose’s Aide Advises Lai Mohammed Following “venomous” attack from the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, where he described  Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, as lacking requisite academic qualifications to speak on sensitive national issues, the governor’s Special Assistant on Public Communications, Lere Olayinka, has advised the federal government’s spokesman against reacting “ like a motor park tout.” Olayinka, who reacted to a statement by the minister that Fayose and others kicking against President Muhammadu Buhari’s TSA policy should return to elementary school, said it was shameful that the minister ran away from the main issue and chose to attack personalities. He described Mohammed as unfit to speak for any decent government, with the way he passed his comments about what the governor said on Single Treasury Account (TSA) policy of the federal government.
