A Yoruba socio-
cultural group, Afenifere Renewal Group, ARG, has
condemned the use of its insignia to support President
Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid, adding that it is
not a party to the president’s endorsement.
In a statement in Lagos Wednesday, the group said that
the use of ‘Afenifere’ to promote Mr. Jonathan is
fraudulent and an attempt to deceive the Yoruba
people.
“It has come to our notice that some broadcast stations
are using ARG’s name and logo to promote the said
endorsement”, said Kunle Famoriyo, ARG’s Publicity
Secretary.
“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 apex Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, had
on Tuesday in Akure, Ondo State, endorsed Mr.
Jonathan for a second term in office.
According to the group, the endorsement was
necessary to enable President Jonathan complete his
“transformation agenda” as well as implement the
recommendations of the 2014 National Conference
report.
“Afenifere is a socio-political association. We have
always spoken out our minds on any matter that affects
our country”, Seinde Arogbola, the group’s National
Secretary, had said.
“We therefore want to say it loud and clear that after
considering so many things, the Nigerian Constitution
inclusive, we see you for now as the best option to
continue as the president of our dear country”.
But Mr. Famoriyo distanced ARG from the endorsement,
adding that the group does not think that Mr.
Jonathan’s performance as president since May 2010
was 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”, said
Mr. Famoriyo.
“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.
“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”.
