Hoodlums suspected to be on the payroll of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Friday stormed some communities in Gbonyin and Irepodun/Ifelodun local governments, attacking the supporters of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and destroying billboards and posters of its candidates in the March 28 and April 11 general elections.

The State APC in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, stated that the thugs armed with guns and machetes stormed Igbemo-Ekiti where they disrupted APC ward meeting.

He disclosed that the suspected thugs, dressed in military uniform abducted Chief Peter Akinsola , Mr. Olusola Bello, Mr. Olujimi Ogunade, and 22-year-old Adefemi Ojo during the raid.

However, Deputy Chairman of PDP in the State, Mr Tayelolu Otitoju denied the involvement of his members in the attack, saying the party members were peace-loving and could not have involved in act that could portray the State in bad light.

“We are the ones in the glass house now and whoever lives in the glass house doesn’t throw stones. So, our members had been seriously warned on the need to eschew violence,” he said.

But the APC spokesman in the State insisted that investigation conducted by the party revealed that the PDP was responsible for the attack .

He said a car belonging to ward chairman was damaged while several members were attacked in an orgy of violence that lasted several minutes.

According to Olatubosun, they came back in the night unleashing fiercer violence, abducting four members in the process.

“They started their raids from Ijan-Ekiti where they shot sporadically into the air. Residents scampered to safety as thugs went about destroying APC candidates’ billboard and posters.

“After Ijan-Ekiti operation, they headed for Iluomoba-Ekiti where APC ward meeting was disrupted.
Billboards and posters of APC candidates, including the chairs and tables were destroyed before moving to other communities in Gbonyin to unleash violence,” the spokesman explained.

He added that the thugs returned to
Igbemo-Ekiti at night in three Hilux vans backed by policemen shooting and destroying the billboards and posters of APC candidates, including those of Mr Rotimi Odu, a member of the House of Assembly seeking re-election.

Olatubosun called on the security agencies to intervene to save the lives of those abducted while also urging the police to be even-handed in the current violence being unleashed on APC members by the governor’s thugs.

BY WOLE BALOGUN, ADO EKITI

Thugs suspected to be members of both the Peoples’ Demo­cratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) clashed yesterday in Gbonyin and Irepodun/Ifelodun local government areas of Ekiti state leaving blood and de struction on their trail.

APC spokesman in the state, Mr. Taiwo Olatubosun alleged it was the support ers of Governor Ayo Fayose who attacked vehicles of his party’s members, destroying the billboards and posters of its candidates for the March 28 and April 11 general elec tions.

But the state’s commis sioner of police, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu said that what was reported to his office was a case of attack by some yet-to-be identified thugs on the vehicles of some government officials, adding that the po lice have begun investiga tions on the development.

According to a statement by the APC, the thugs armed with guns and machetes stormed Igbemo-Ekiti where they disrupted APC ward meeting. A car belonging to the party’s ward chairman was damaged while several members were attacked in an Fun of violence that lasted several minutes Thursday night.

According to Olatubosun, they came back in the night unleashing worse violence, abducting four members in the process.

They also visited Olatubosun and Odu’s homes.

“It was during their night visit that these men in mili tary uniform abducted Chief Peter Akinsola a.k.a Pitoro, the senior brother of the Ward Chairman, Mr. Olusola Bello, Mr. Olujimi Ogunade, and 22-year-old Adefemi Ojo. Investigation has re­vealed that the abducted men are illegally detained at Fay ose’s task force office along Iyin road Ado Ekiti,” Olatu bosun explained.

He listed PDP members seen working with the thugs as Folorunso, Niran, Ba siru Ajagbemokeferi, Ropo Akosile, Tosin, alias Tosco (a notorious criminal), Dada Fagbolagun and Michael Daramola, who was the Gov ernment House driver who drove the thugs to the town.

Olatubosun added that Ajayi Temisoro was match eted while a pharmaceutical shop belonging to an APC member, Olujimi Ogunade, was destroyed. A high Chief in the town, Chief Tunji Agamogo, the Onisara of Igbemo as well as one Ariyo Afao a brother to Governor Fayose were seen with the thugs encouraging them and pointing to APC members houses.

The APC spokesman called on the security agen cies to intervene to save the lives of abducted members while also urging the police to be even-handed in the current violence being un leashed on APC members by the governor’s thugs.

The answer is obviously in the negative.
But these youths (who are the supposed leaders of tomorrow) have chosen to be pawns in the hands of these politicians. It is a pity.

[size=15pt]WIKILEAKS LEAKED INFORMATION ON PRESIDENT JONATHAN'S SERIAL INCOMPETENCE (PUBLIC LIBRARY OF US DIPLOMACY)[/size]

Since the Nigeria government yesterday through the Nigeria Presidential spokesman Dr Reuben Abati released a Wikileaks leaked US Government confidential document on Gen Buhari, forgetting Wikileaks also released abundant information on President Goodluck Jonathan gross incompetence and corrupt background as documented by the Public Library of US Diplomacy, it may interest you to go through some of the revelations by Wikileaks since our government supports the activities of Wikileaks and already gave credence and credibility to Wikileaks by quoting and making references to Wilileaks leaked information... Find below some excerpts of Wikileaks revelations on the views of the US Embassy in Nigeria on President Goodluck Jonathan from his time as Bayelsa Governor to February, 2010..

AN OPEN LETTER TO DR ABATI ON PRESIDENT JONATHAN'S LONG HISTORY OF INCOMPETENCE AS DOCUMENTED BY PUBLIC LIBRARY OF US DIPLOMACY LEAKED BY WIKILEAKS

Dear Dr. Abati,

It was really sad seeing a publication from your office yestersday, where you referenced Wikileaks as your source of information, since you decided to go that way, it may also be interesting to add some of the the things you forgot to tell us. President Jonathan's incompetence had been noted right from when he assumed office as the Governor of Bayelsa State following the impeachment of his erstwhile boss, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha who was later convicted of stealing state funds running into billions of Naira. A man who President Jonathan granted a Presidential pardon in 2013. Agin, kindly permit me to use the same heading for the story you ran on Gen. Buhari yesterday.

PUBLIC LIBRARY OF US DIPLOMACY

Chief of Army Staff Dambazau(2010) on President Jonathan as a sectional leader

¶3. (S) In response to the question as to whom the COAS believes is
the Commander-in-Chief of Nigerian Armed Forces at this time,
Dambazau, a northerner said, Goodluck Jonathan. In the view of the
COAS, Jonathan holds that authority until such time as either the
National Assembly implements a constitutional action returning
authority to Yar'Adua, or there is some other manifestation that
shows the President is capable and has resumed his duties. Dambazau
said it was unfortunate that the entire Yar'Adua health situation
had not been handled well. There were a few people around the
ailing President who were manipulating the situation for both power
and money, he noted. The COAS highlighted that the "Katsina group"
around Yar'Adua has "caged" the President off and even before his
departure to Saudi Arabia more and more Yar'Adua was not being seen
as a national figure. It is unfortunate that Jonathan is beginning
to do the same thing. The people that Jonathan has around him now
are behaving just as badly as the Katsina clique, with Jonathan
handing out favors to his ethnic group, which the Army Chief sid
was not/not Ijaw. Dambazau said the Acting/Vice President comes
from the smallest ethnic minority in Bayelsa State, and that he is
beginning to behave like a "sectional," leader and less like a
national figure with national responsibilities. The COAS said he
has had several meetings with Jonathan and that he is a "simple man
who is easily influenced." He gave the example of the recent
transfer of naira 19 billion of GON funds to a Niger Delta
environmental project that was done at the end of a meeting that
Jonathan had with a group from his region. Dambazau said this was
done outside of the normal Cabinet decision-making process based on
a meeting he had had with his "kinsmen."

JONATHAN TOLD THE US AMBASSADOR HE DOES NOT ANTICIPATE STANDING FOR 2011 ELECTIONS

¶13. (C) Jonathan said he does not anticipate standing for
elections in 2011 and that he is not working towards being a
presidential candidacy. He wants to put into place an electoral
structure that will be ready for national elections. He did,
however, note that, "if they want me to run, that will be something
to consider at that time." However, he stressed that his focus now
and for the next 12 months will be on "doing a good job and
witnessing respectable and credible elections in 2011."

"I was not chosen to be Vice President because I had good political experience," he said. "I did not. There were a lot more qualified people around to be Vice President, but that
does not mean I am not my own man."

He said he is "not a politician" and had very limited experience as
an administrator, but concluded, "I will not tolerate a brawl."

COMMENT
"It is always hard to judge how some will
behave (or surprise you) when leadership is unexpectedly thrown in
their lap. The verdict is out on Jonathan and his previously
underwhelming personality and performance needs to keep us in the
cautious lane"
SANDERS

JONATHAN'S BAGGAGE OF CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETENCE

¶5. (S) Clearly, reports of the President in a coma and on a
respirator do not bode well for any recovery. In addition,
Jonathan's dispatching emissaries around town to take a
temperature check on the atmosphere surrounding what may be
his, sooner rather than later, ascendancy to the Presidency
further leads to the news that the President of Nigeria is in
his final days. We are preparing a report (septel) on the
baggage that Jonathan will carry with him into State House as
there have been past reports of corruption, political
thuggery, and payments to "militant factions" from his days
as Governor of Bayelsa State as well as questions about his
competency in general.

JONATHAN IS NOT A RISK TAKER

¶1. (C) Assistant Secretary Carson met with Lagos business
community leaders on February 7. Per these sources, Governor
Fashola of Lagos State is on the verge of being impeached despite
bringing new roads, hospitals, and schools to Lagos. The Governor
does not pay attention to the patronage networks. Vice President
Jonathan is neither a risk taker nor an activist but it is better
to have him than no one in the seat of power. Isolate and monitor
communities in the Niger Delta to force them to become well run.
END SUMMARY.
Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=10LAGOS81&q=goodluck


BUHARI ON RULE OF LAW

¶4. (C) On the possibility that Yar'Adua might be unable to
complete his term due to ill health, Buhari revealed that he
had been telling other northern leaders that "no
extra-constitutional measures should be taken and that the
rule of law should be followed" (i.e., that VP Goodluck
Jonathan should take over as President). He said any other
course would violate the constitution, which "would go
against everything" he is standing for with his current
appeal before the Supreme Court. Buhari then concluded that
making progress on the issues of poverty, health, and
development should trump the informal North-South rotation of
the presidency. "Ultimately, it is a question of who can
better solve Nigeria's most pressing problems," he said.

GOODLUCK JONATHAN CHARACTERISED AS WEAK 22 Jan 2006

¶11. (C) In the last 24 hours, we have seen a substantial
increase in communication about the hostages through official
channels and increasingly optimistic assessments of their
condition. This appears to be good news. However, the
information is coming from a single source: the Governor of
Bayelsa State directly or through his SSG. Yesterday, we
characterized the governor as weak and out of the loop, but
today he tells us he is the only one with whom the kidnappers
will negotiate. And at least one element of the presidential
committee also appears to have ruled out FNDIC involvement
without providing any justification for doing so. The
governor's assessment that divisions within the kidnappers
will lead to the hostages imminent release sounds positive,
but so have many other statements over the past ten days.
Most of these positive developments depend on one source of
information, and we have yet to independently confirm them.
HOWE

STILL ON THE DOUBT OF GOODLUCK JONATHAN'S INTEGRITY AND COMPETENCE

As Nigerians come to grips with the probability of
Yar'Adua's demise, there appears to be growing public support
-- even in the North -- for Vice President Jonathan to assume
the presidential mantle. Despite widespread doubts about
Jonathan's integrity and competence, there is encouraging
deference, at least in public, to the principle that the
constitutionally-prescribed line of succession should be
respected.
Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=09ABUJA2173&q=goodluck


JONATHAN CLEARLY OUT OF DEPTH

¶17. (C) A Shell member of the crisis response team also
doubts the Bayelsa team's veracity. Bayelsa Governor
Goodluck Jonathan told a reliable contact of his that he had
been personally threatened by the militia group holding the
hostages. The contact assessed Jonathan as clearly out of
his depth.

JONATHAN PAID NIGER DELTA MILITANTS 100MILLION NAIRA IN JAN.2006 AS RANSOM

¶7. (C) Mitee said the group held fast to their demands, the
release of Dokubo Asari and Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, amnesty
for the kidnappers, and improvements for the people living in
the Niger Delta. He said they did not raise the issue of
ransom money, until he was abruptly informed the hostages
would not be turned over to him after all. At that point,
the leaders informed a perplexed Mitee that Bayelsa Governor
Goodluck Jonathan offered 100 million naira. After some
internal dispute about the money, they accepted Bayelsa's
largesse. The kidnappers told Mitee they would use the 100
million naira to purchase longer-range weapons.
Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=06LAGOS235&q=goodluck


ON JONATHAN'S BAYELSA PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVES

¶5. (SBU) Jonathan,s BPI is a product of both benign public
interest and selfish political motives. Regarding
Jonathan,s political motives, he wants the PDP 2007
gubernatorial nomination but is facing stiff competition from
Timi Alaibe, the NDDC Executive Director for Finance. Taking
over the government office less than a year ago, Jonathan
needs to distinguish himself, establish a political base and
then distance himself from Alaibe. Despite the obvious
political flavor of the BPI, there are some encouraging
things in it. However, before we move to pat Jonathan on the
back for this initiative or even contemplate support thereof,
we need to better gauge how much of this actually is
enlightened policy and how much is electoral politics. END
COMMENT.

RAJAKUMARI ALSO NOTED GOODLUCK JONATHAN INCOMPETENCE

¶1. (S) Summary: On June 18, 2008, Poloff met with Rajakumari
Jandhyala (strictly protect throughout), a United Nations
employee on loan to Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan's office
to aid in the development of a strategy to end unrest in the
Niger Delta. While describing the GON's Niger Delta
initiatives to Poloff, Jandhyala complained that the team in
the Vice-President's office was not up to the challenge of
properly formulating, vetting, and implementing a
comprehensive plan. She also said President Yar'Adua was
unaware of how poorly crafted the process has been to date..

“It was during their night visit that these men in mili tary uniform abducted Chief Peter Akinsola a.k.a Pitoro, the senior brother of the Ward Chairman, Mr. Olusola Bello, Mr. Olujimi Ogunade, and 22-year-old Adefemi Ojo. Investigation has re­vealed that the abducted men are illegally detained at Fay ose’s task force office along Iyin road Ado Ekiti,” Olatu bosun explained.

And you foolishly concur, believing that you are fighting for a '' change'' or maybe '' continuity'' of whatsoever transformation that is yet to reflect in your life. I wonder when our youths would get wise and use this their will-power to fight those who have been sitting on their future.
