Though, Fayemi in his reaction to the court verdict spread olive branch to Oni, with a promise to work with him to move the party forward.

But some party members were said to have insisted Oni needed to be punished for disrespecting the party , by declining the Senatorial ticket and went to court to upturn Fayemi’s victory

People should find alternatives to why we shouldn't borrow- Babatunde Fashola replies critics

• Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has replied those criticising the Federal Government for borrowing funds.

Addressing reporters in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, he asked such people to provide an alternative to sourcing for funds.

“Those who say we shouldn’t borrow must have an alternative answer to where we will get the money. Those who don’t support borrowing, are they ready to support increased taxes?” he asked.

The minister blamed the slow pace of works on the federal road across the country on the paucity of funds. He went on to defend the decision of the government to borrow monies to fund its various projects in the country.

“Where do we get the money,?” Fashola queried. “It is not from President Muhammadu Buhari’s salary or the National Assembly’s salary; we are talking about quantifiable, substantial billions of naira that need to be spent to pay. That is how you move money around the economy because once you pay the contractors, they order sand, cement, iron rods. They don’t keep all those things. Where the money stops, supply stops” the minister said.

Fashola gave assurance that the government would continue to improve the economic wellbeing of the people through infrastructural development in the country.

Linda Ikeji explains how she moved from her humble beginnings to building a media empire as she covers Business Day's The CEO magazine(Photos)

Linda Ifeoma Ikeji is the latest CEO to grace the cover of Business Day's The CEO magazine.

The Linda Ikeji Media CEO sat with Business Day Magazine’s Editor Lehlé Baldé to speak extensively about building a media empire from next to nothing.

Linda Ikeji Media business began 12 years ago as just a personal blog where Dr Ikeji shared her personal stories. But she decided to do something different after reading Perez Hilton's blog, she told Ms Lehlé Baldé.

At this point, she began including gossips and entertainment stories and realized it increased her reach. This set her apart from other bloggers and soon turned the blog into an income-generating business.

Now, Linda Ikeji Media has expanded to include the Linda Ikeji TV and also a digital marketing company.

It was no mean feat but Linda said she achieved this with patience and also by not paying attention to the naysayers and all who tried to demean what she does for a living. The blog did not begin generating income until years later, but she said she kept at it and put in the work.

Linda Ikeji said her business ideas come from trying to meet a need. She said:

I think my ideas always come from my vision and where I see a need or where I think will be successful.

This, she said, is what led her to diversify the Linda Ikeji Media to TV and, more recently, digital marketing.
