THE All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO) has accused President Jonathan of turning churches into campaign grounds in a bid to win the 2015 election.

The Director of Media and Publicity the organization, Malam Garba Shehu, said it was improper for the president to turn worship centres into platforms for making official statements or announcing government policies.

Shehu, according to The Nation noted that the strategy defied the norms of government practices, stressing that the president was deliberately doing so “in the belief that the manipulation of religious sentiments would cover up the multitudes of his epic failures.”

According to him, using worship centres as platforms for making major official statements could create precedents that the country could not handle in future.

The campaign spokesperson added that if predecessor presidents did not use the mosques or churches to make official statements of public importance, it was wrong for Jonathan to start something that was already sending the wrong message.

The organisation asked the people of the Southwest to ignore the promises of the president to implement the report of the National Conference, saying it was incapable of protecting their interests.

Shehu said: “It is necessary to state that all points of the Yoruba agenda that could have favoured the Southwest, in­cluding regional autonomy, restructuring, devolution of power and parliamentary system, could not sail through at the conference.

“These people knew that though they deceived Nigerians, particularly the Yoruba people, with the ostensible reason, but the real reason for the endorsement was because of their personal economy. Some of them have had their personal finances transformed by way of juicy, but dubious security contracts and handsome cash largesse by the government of Dr. Jonathan at the expense of Nigerian people.

“We consider it asinine that any group can predicate its support for Dr. Jonathan on his promise to respect any agreement. The antecedents of Dr. Jonathan speak eloquently of a serial promise-breaker, unreliable keeper of gentlemanly agreement and unabashed turncoat.

It would be recalled that the governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, recenty stated that the South-west geopolitical zone would not vote for the APC presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari, because that would place the APC national leader, Senator Bola Tinubu, as the leader of the Yoruba race.

I wonder why Jonathan after accepting that he has failed is trying to force his failed government down our throats.

Are you for real?
He didn't go there with any banner but the whole auditorium knew what he stood for!.
Going to churches to give unwarranted speeches is more like a campaign due to closeless of the election which is totally unconstitutional!
What has happened to your reasoning?

These past couple of weeks has been difficult for APC. They are failing and they're trying to hold on to something.
If Jonathan likes, he can campaign in a mosque, it's nobody's business.
GEJ till...you know na(2019)
