It would be recalled that some FIBAN members had left the association due to leadership crisis, therefore the association at a congress unanimously passed a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in Femi Omilani led administration and subsequently impeached him.

While advising the newly formed caretaker committee, Kayode-Adedeji appealed to them to address all issues lingering in the association, adding that he knew FIBAN as one united family, therefore the caretaker committees have a role to play in bringing every member together. 

According to him "I know FIBAN as one united family, but it was regrettably that some people can still pulled out to form another association, notwithstanding the new leadership have a role to play in bringing everybody together under that same umbrella."

"I want you to look for a way and solution to the crisis in your association, FIBAN is an household name, so I appeal to you all to find a solution to whatever issues affecting the association."

Kayode-Adedeji hinted that aside his online medium and online TV, he also ventured into Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), where he has able to touch lives, citing the likes of one Sarah and Abiodun Omoyayi who have benefitted graciously from his kind gestures.

He explained the purpose of the courtesy call was the challenges and issues in the FIBAN family which had let some members to established another association, yet he said FIBAN remain intact and one in Ogun State. 

His words "We felt that we can not afford to allow the struggle of then great journalists of the blessed memories, the likes of late Gbenga Adeboye and Toba Opaleye, we felt we cannot just allowed the association to just die that way, that's why elders in the association unanimously agreed that in order to continue the journey of FIBAN in Ogun and Nigeria at large, they form a caretaker committee who will be running the affairs of the association to fill up the vacuum that have been created by some members who have went to another association."
