Ekiti APC Riddled with Suspensions

Following the suspension of the Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi by some frontline members of the Ekiti state chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State on Friday, it has been revealed that the action was in retaliation for Wednesday’s ‘indefinite suspension’ of Senator Babafemi Ojudu and others by the governor’s loyalists.

After medical experts speak at a Toronto symposium marking Breast Reconstruction Awareness (BRA) Day, in a room off to the side, Willow’s Show and Tell Lounge will offer something unique. Under soft lighting and clustered around coffee tables, about 20 women will unzip their tops and bare the results of mastectomies and breast-reconstruction surgery to those considering the procedure. They will show their incisions, talk about how their new breasts feel, and share their emotional journeys through the surgical ward. Informal show and tells frequently happen in bathrooms at breast cancer events, says Natalie Witki...
