ASIRI NLA: Afenifere Denies Backing Jonathan, Says Performance Not Worth Endorsing


Yoruba Socio-political group, Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG), has refuted insinuations that it endorsed the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The association says it never took any step to support Jonathan, stressing that the media reports saying it did, were erroneous.
In a press statement released on Wednesday, January 28, by its publicity secretary, Kunle Famoriyo, the group described the use of its insignia to promote the said endorsement as fraudulent and an attempt to deceive Yoruba people.

[size=16pt]The statement also added that the president has done nothing to merit the endorsement of any “patriotic citizen”.[/size]
“It has come to our notice that some broadcast stations are using ARG’s name and logo to promote the said endorsement. This is fraudulent and we wish to advice media houses to be wary of such fraudulent promoters especially now that public interest must be defended by the media,” the statement said.

[size=14pt]“The ARG is not a party to the endorsement and does not in fact think the performance of President Goodluck Jonathan since May 2010 is worth the endorsement of any patriotic citizen. We believe there is a difference between ‘transformation,’ which President Jonathan promised Nigerians in 2011 and mere ‘reform’ of the same governance culture that Nigerians have rejected.”
“The ARG does not dictate to the generality of the Yoruba people, rather it gives voice to their feelings and aspirations. The extensive consultations we have made showed that Yoruba people have come to a firm conclusion that they have been at the shorter end of the stick under the Jonathan-led Government, under whose administration, nepotism and ethnocentrism have taken over as the emblem of our presidential politics.”
[/size]
“ARG therefore stands with the aspirations of Yoruba people for change. As echoed in Abeokuta recently at the public lecture organised by the Ogun State chapter of ARG, the change that we demand include a public pledge to restructure the country in such a way that power will devolve to the most efficient federating unit.”

Afenifere endorses Jonathan
[/size]
After what had appeared as a group's indecision, Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural body, on Tuesday endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for the February 14 election.

The endorsement was the outcome of the meeting the president had with the leaders of the group in Akure, Ondo State.
[size=15pt]
The meeting was held at the residence of the Leader of the group, Chief Reuben Fasoranti and attended by leaders from the South West geoplitical zone of the country.[/size]

At the end of the meeting which lasted about one hour, the publicity secretary of Afenifere, Mr Yinka Odumakin said the decision of the group was due to the commitment of the president to the National Conference.

He said Afenifere believed that the confab is the only thing that can liberate the nation.

He said the president had expressed his commitment to implement the report of the confab report.

Odumakin said the president informed them at the meeting that Yoruba were the ones that were in the forefront of the clamour for the confab.

Also speaking, Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko said what Afenifere did was an unequivocal endorsement of the president.

Mimiko said Afenifere expressed belief in the transformation agenda of the president describing it as systematic and strategic for the development of the nation.

The group, which had fraternised with the Jonathan administration, had before now prevaricated on a full support scale to the Jonathan re-election bid.

But in his response, a former governor of Anambra State and Deputy Director General of South in the PDP campaign organisation, Mr Peter Obi said he was not surprised at the Afenifere endorsement, stressing that, "Afenifere has always committed itself to the best interest and unity of Nigeria", adding that the endorsement meant that, "Nigeria will endorse Jonathan".

Meanwhile in an apparent nod to a younger generation of leaders, President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday effectively eliminated Vice-President Namadi Sambo as his successor should he win next month’s presidential election, saying the next Nigerian president must be below the age of 60. Sambo is already 60 years old and will be over 64 by 2019.

Jonathan, who spoke to the crowd at the Lafia Township Stadium during his presidential campaign rally in Nasarawa State, said his administration believes in the youths and would do everything possible to support the younger generation.
“Obasanjo was president at 70, Yar’Adua at almost 60 and me close to 60, so the next president must be younger than me,” Jonathan stated.

Indeed. It is the Pope that will 'endorse' Jonathan next only for the papacy to deny such vehemently a day later. THE PDP is totally shameless.

Indeed. There is no prominent Nigerian they have not stolen 'endorsement' from. We have heard that Femi Falana,Soyinka, IBB et al "endorsed" GEJ only for these individuals to come out and deny such. Simply a disgraceful ruling Party. A "nest of killers" (Wole Soyinka) and a gang of hardened criminals.

What needful if I shud ask? Is it everything source you read that you believe? There should be a level credibility attached to every source. Have you clicked on the link to read the story? Try doing that. And while at that, try to keep an open mind and check every story you read thoroughly. Some are biased, some are opinionated.

Desperate times require desperate measures!

There is nothing PDP will not do right now to revive the dismal rating of GEJ.

Now I'm convinced the folks in Aso Rock are genuinely scared of defeat.
