Governor of Southwest Nigeria sacked
 Nigerias southwest region of Ekiti has lost its governor over corruption. The state in southwest Nigeria has also lost its vice governor over similar accusations. Twenty-four members out of the 26 in Nigerias state House of Assembly agreed upon the sacking of the governor and his deputy. They requested them to file complaints after the notice of their sacking was sent unto them. Nigerias Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has been investigating their involvement in the embezzlement of funds meant for a poultry project in the state. The sacking of the governmr from Southwest Nigeria makes the number of Nigerias governors to be sacked over corruption charges at three since Olusengun Obasanjo took over power as president of Nigeria.
