Stop Using Ajasin For Smear Campaign Against Buhari - Family by DaPhilosopher(m): 10:54pm On Jan 29, 2015
The family of the late Afenifere leader and first
civilian governor of Ondo State, late Chief Adekunle
Ajasin, has cautioned the Peoples Democratic
Party against using their fathers name as a
campaign smear against the presidential candidate
of the All Progressives Congress, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari.

The Ajasin family also said they had forgiven
Muhammadu Buhari over the arrest of their father
under his military administration in 1984.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Chief Tokunbo
Ajasin, said in Akure on Thursday that his father
forgave Buhari before his death.

Tokunbo therefore cautioned politicians particularly
those seeking for elective positions to base their
campaigns on issues rather than using his father’s
name to campaign against the progressives which
he (Ajasin) belonged to when he was alive.

Chief Tokunbo said there was no any judicial
pronouncement or ruling under Buhari’s
government where his father was sentenced to
prison or indicted
“It will be totally wrong for anybody to say that
Gen. Buhari jailed my father. No that is not correct.
It was true that my father was detained under Gen.
Buhari’s military regime along with other former
governors in Nigeria and two panels of enquiry
were consequently set-up to look into the
allegations against my father and others, but the
panels found my father innocent and exonerated
him as well".

“What Buhari did then was part of military policies
and tradition. Though many Nigerians were not
happy with that but my father had since forgiven
Buhari before his demise".

“Let me also tell you that as far as the issue is
concerned, the family of Ajasin had forgiven Buhari
as well. Because as Christians we should learn and
exhibit the spirit of forgiveness always. The Bible
says, father forgive us as we forgive those who
offend us,” he stated.

Chief Ajasin said he met Buhari at a function
sometime ago and happily embraced each other
indicating that all was well. According to him, himself and his sister, Mrs. Jumoke Anifowose, were part of the crowd that received Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo at the Akure airport during his presidential campaign rally in ondo State .

Also the Ondo State Coordinator of Buhari/Osinbajo
presidential campaign, Mr. Ife Oyedele, accused
the PDP of unduly capitalizing on the Buhari/Ajasin
saga to score cheap political points.
He said APC as a progressive party should be
more concerned about the welfare of Ajasin’s
family than the PDP that is antagonistic of the
interest of the Yoruba race.

“You cannot cry more than the bereaved. We are
happy that the Ajasin family has come to clear the
air on this issue,” Oyedele said.
