Awujale Rejects Moves To Endorse Jonathan by Bizinton: 7:24pm On Mar 12, 2015
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 Munister-designate, 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. More details soon.

He just wasted his time.

Awujale is a very strong Buhari supporter. Buhari spent most of his time in Awujale's house while he was in London.

GEJ has very bad advisers. He should concentrate on showing Nigerians what he has done for them in the last 6 years instead of buying support.

In 2013, GEJ called Yorubas rascals and now he is begging for their votes- NEVER!

Shame....

Oba Awujale has spoken well, however, that doesn't mean that GEJ will not be voted for by the people of ogun. atleast, he gave him the opportunity to speak to his people and make them understand that all the things APC has been saying were all lies and propagandas.
afterall, na only one vote the man get.

He's been focussing on the SW under the illusion that the North is gone and he already has the SS and SE in his pocket. He feels securing the SW would give him the leverage he needs to stump the General, but ooooh, what a dreamer.

Mr president, NOWHERE is your support as much as 60% guaranteed, not even in Bayelsa!

If I were you, I'd quit throwing all the monies I've managed to steal in connivance with Alison and use same to secure my Asylum in Haiti. Your fate has already been sealed.

And you should quit disturbing Lagos already.

Cc: Seun, lalasticlala kindly review the contents of this post by Op and assist in moving to the front page.

The reasons include the fact that the supposed endorsement expected by Jonathan did not materialise after causing severe traffic in Lagos and not performing any official duties as enshrined by the constitution.

The source is credible and the headline cast in a manner that provides a true position of the visit.

Re: Awujale Rejects Moves To Endorse Jonathan by zomby(m): 9:19pm On Mar 12, 2015
Many of us totally forgot that this is not just an ordinary King, unlike many money hungry kings around Nigeria.
1. Awujale became the King of Ijebu land at the age of 25 years old, I believe he's now around 80 yrs old...which means he has maintained his throne for over 50 years (no one else in Nigeria has been able to accomplished this mile stone).
2. Awujale is not only a very strong king, but also an unshakable man. He enjoys making his own decisions and he is also known to speak his mind under any circumstances (Obasanjo clearly understands this fact).
3. Awujale is the first cousin of Mike Adenuga, therefore, Jonathan's stolen money may not be enough to buy this king, as his cousin has his back any time and any day.
4. Awujale is known to favor and respect the friendship of the northerners (Awolowo's and Shagari' family clearly understand this fact). So, an average dude like Jonathan from Bayelsa may not be Awujale's cup of tea.
5. Finally, Awujale as the king of many other kings in Nigeria is also known to embrace principle in everything that he does, and not just a business as usual kind of man...unlike other average kings in Nigeria.

Therefore, I can not see people like Awujale pointing his traditional royal pole at a weak leader like Jonathan. It is completely impossible.

In fact, Jonathan is very lucky that he was not blocked from entering the Awujale's palace....If you don't believe me, please go and ask Obasanjo and he will let you know more about the unique characteristics of Awujale, the king of Ijebu land.

FYI: Awujale is the only king or man in Nigeria today that can call Obasanjo by his first name "SEGUN" (even when Obasanjo was the president and a terror)
