National Publicity Secretary of the Pan-Yoruba Socio-political Organisation, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin has declared that he has ceased being the spokesman of the Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change(CPC) in the 2011 election, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

Odumakin in a statement made available to the Saturday Tribune stated that he stopped serving Buhari after the ruling of the Supreme Court on CPC’s election petition over the 2011 election.

He stated that his views on governors of the Action Congress of Nigeria(ACN) which were posted on the internet were not made on Buhari’s behalf, adding that the disclaimer by the CPC was unnecessary.

The statement read: “My attention has been drawn to a statement in the media by the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) on my views published on a chat forum which was lifted by PILOT Newspaper and published in its edition of July 17, 2013.

“In the said view written under my name as I have done several years now, i stated that the corruption going on in the South West States under ACN is far greater than what we witnessed under PDP.

“I buttressed my point with the fact that where I dragged Mr. Alao Akala to EFCC in 2010 for asking each Local Government in Oyo state to award 5 kms of road at N250m to a particular contractor , a company linked to the ACN National Leader is collecting a kilometer of road at N1b each in the same region.

“The newspaper quoted me correctly but mistakenly referred to me as “Buhari Spokesman” but never said I spoke for General Buhari.

“Perhaps the paper did not know that I ceased being Buhari’s media advisor shortly after the Supreme Court ruled on the 2011 elections which brought us together for a period of about 8 months.

“I had expected those who want to provide leadership for the country to read the publication they are reacting to before rushing to the media to “disown” who they don’t own. I guess the desire to appease allies overrides this simple process.

“If they had done this due diligence they would have known that there was nowhere General Buhari was linked to my views.

Has Yinka ported to PDP ?

He sound like the current acting publicity secretary of PDP ...

^No be crime to port to where the grass is green

I hear he is part of Iyiola Omisore(PDP Guber aspirant in Osun state) campaign team now.

I won't be surprise if Odumakin decamp to pdp in the near future.

The Daura-born general is going to learn the most bitter political lesson in 2015. Those that know are warning him now, but, like Macbeth, he is blinded by his ambition.
Why align with Tinubu of all persons? Tinubu is going to leave him on a four-way path.

Thank God you have abandoned that blood thirsty baboon.

This yinka must have smoked before the write up..."corruption in ACN is worst than PDP"but i can see ACN govts performing well than thier counterparts. I guess he has moved to PDP

everyman has a price. He has been outta job since 2011, he needs to eat. So, if PDP approaches, as a politian, no-shame entity, he will accept.

Roads under akala were don by JB and PW!

And how will Akala, a staunch PDP, who is even thriving to overthrow ACN by liasing with ladoja be awarding roads, under compulsion to a company thru an ACN leader?

Mumu

take dat: ^No be crime to port to where the grass is green

I hear he is part of Iyiola Omisore(PDP Guber aspirant in Osun state) campaign team now.

I heard he secured the contract for printing the gubernatorial campaign poster for Omisore, never knew he has been drafted in fully as part of the campaign team.

I don port o!

Odumakin can see clearly now.......
.....well, better late than never.

SLIDE waxie: everyman has a price. He has been outta job since 2011, he needs to eat. So, if PDP approaches, as a politian, no-shame entity, he will accept.

dont u know that allocation and igr have improved? what of the rate of borrowing? when you sincerely know all this things, u will see why acn governors are able to embezzle and still patch some roads left by pdp

ACN governors only have loud mouths and have bought over the Lagos media. They are not performing.

How is it my problem?

Good To Know.. Next!!?

Yinka used to be respected personality in my opinion. I still remember d Fuel Subsidy protests at FREEDOM PARK,Ojota in 2012.
Also when Yaradua was missin in action,he was very vocal wit d Save Naija Group.
But now what,am hearing he's wit Omisore now,if its true,then this boy has lost it.
Adieu Yinka.

Pedagogue: .

You again? Smh

He said he quit being Buhari's spokesman since 2011, but how come he continued speaking on Buhari's behalf since then? Isnt this a contradiction?

tackle d points he raised

if he has done that i'm wishing him REST IN PEACE politically.

People are now rubbishing Odumakin for voicing out what is happening in the south west, the pro south west ACN would not want to hear this because it is affecting their masters hence they will want to blindly defend them. If it is Jonathan now they would have swallowed Yinka's statement line hook and sinker insulting Jonathan of wanting to plunge the nation into penury. Tribalism thriving in this forum so much.

Odumakin should know that making a constructive criticizm unilaterally in this our present polity can never get him nowhere becos JAGABAN hates hearing truth and possibly no position vacant in PDP.I guess he should stuck himself to this true activism we know him and his wife for.
