…says he cannot ask Ijebu to vote President

DAUD OLATUNJI

ABEOKUTA-The Awujale and Paramount ruler of
Ijebuland, Oba Dr. Sikiru Kayode Adetona, Thursday,
rejected an overture to endorse president Goodluck
Jonathan for second term.

Oba Adetona who paid a host to the President at his
palace in Ijebu-Ode during a presidential visit to his
palace, urged the President to present his programme to
the people of Ijebuland for them to format their opinion
on whether to vote him or not.

President Jonathan had arrived Awujale palace at 11:15
am in company of the national Chairman of the People’s
Democratic Party, Adamu Mu’azu, the governor of
Bayelsa state, Seriake Diskson, governor of Ondo state,
Dr. Segun Mimiko, former governor of Ogun State,
Otunba Gbenga Daniel.

Others at the meeting include, the Munisterdesignate,
Musiliu Obanikoro, Chairman , Mobilisation and
Organisation committee of the People’s Democratic
Party in the South West, Prince, Buruji Kashamu , the
PDP governorship candidate in the state, Gboyega Isiaka ,
PDP leaders as well as some members of All Progressives
Congress and Social Democratic Party.

According to Awujale,”In Ijebu here, it is not possible for
any Oba, not even in Ijebu, in Yorubaland, to go out and
say vote for this, vote for that, that person is looking for
trouble, but give them the opportunity to present their
programme so that people can make up their minds on
what to do, I think this is a very sound democratic
principle and that is what I have decided to do, to give
you the opportunity of meeting with the people.

but bia OP, the man is wise, not because he did not want to publicly stand for GEJ but because he allows his people to make decision on their own. So abeg,the caption is kind of missleading from the point of view of that king. You party people just drag people and use them as shields when you do campaign. I am sure the Oba doesnt see it as I am not "endorsing Jonathan " as you people are painting it. He also doesnt endorse GMB too. So abeg, make una nor put tge man for trouble biko.

Lalastica

Oba Adetona! Ki ade pe lori, ki bata pe lese!!
