Believeintruth:Jonathan by etrader(m): 5:59pm On Mar 25, 2015 In the context of the elections, much has been said about Nigeria’s “unity in diversity”. Still, many Nigerians feel they are being deliberately disjointed on the grounds of their ethnicity. Dr Ibraheem Dooba, in his exclusive contribution for Naij.com, explains why the Yoruba people are frustrated with the incumbent president and one of the presidential candidates Goodluck Jonathan, and why they are most likely not going to support him come Saturday, March 28. “President Jonathan won’t implement recommendations of the conference if he wins. Even if he does, it won’t be what the Yoruba people want.” “Other than the constitutionally-required appointments, Yorubas are invisible in Jonathan’s government.” “The Yoruba people don’t deserve this neglect.” Why did the Yoruba become victims in and of Jonathan’s government? What are the reasons why the ethnic group isn’t supporting and wouldn’t vote him? The laughable National Conference report First, President Jonathan tried to outsmart the Yoruba by offering them the National Conference. But how can he outsmart the Yoruba, a people so intelligent that Jonathan would have his brains in knots should he try any of their mental feats! It’s now clear that President Jonathan, although he’s promised to do so, won’t implement the recommendations of the conference if he wins re-election. Even if he does implement them, it won’t be what the Yoruba people want. “Is Jonathan going to remove immunity clause as recommended by the conference? No,” Dr Haruna Yerima, an academic and one of the four hundred delegates to the National Conference, said in an interview with Daily Trust, before asking, “What is there in the report that he is using now to cajole the southwest people into voting for him?” The former member of the House of Representatives said the report paid scant attention to corruption and inequality issues in the country. “The report didn’t give the southwest people their age-long desire of true federalism. In fact, nobody talked about it at the conference. It also didn’t give them the parliamentary system as well as the regional system of government they requested for during the conference. So, what is there for them?” he queried. He said the Southwest wouldn’t trust Jonathan after “six years without doing anything for them. He is just desperate. He needs their votes to short-change them again.” But the Southwest is too smart to be short- changed that way. Even Mama Sikira, the famous akara seller, wouldn’t be fooled by this. Targeted Yoruba sackings Chief Kola Aderemi wrote in The Nation of December 23 last year that President Jonathan must have something against the Yoruba to allow for such sustained ill-treatment. “Nothing illustrates President Jonathan’s hatred for Yoruba better than the way he removed some Yoruba people from key positions on allegation of being too close to the former President Olusegun Obasanjo,” he said. “To buttress my point, I recalled how he removed Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the PDP secretary. Mr Yomi Bolarinwa was removed as DG of Nigeria Broadcasting Commission; Otunba Segun Runsewe was removed as DG of Nigerian Tourism Development Commission, and they were replaced with Igbo people.” Here is a selection of other Yoruba people that Jonathan sacked that chief forgot to mention: Olu Oluleye, executive secretary, the Petroleum Trust Development Fund (PTDF). Dr Samuel Oduselu, CEO of the Accident Investigation Bureau. Stella Oduah sacked eight general managers at the FAAN in 2014, six of them Yoruba. The same minister employed 75 workers, 40 of them are from the Southeast, her geo-political zone. The minister sacked Captain Adebayo Araba, rector of the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria, and replaced him with Captain Chinyere Kalu from the Southeast. Also Mrs Ola Onagoruwa, Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, was sacked for “undisclosed reasons”. The issue of the Yorubas being deliberately replaced by the Igbo people is debatable, but it is a fact that, immediately after Yar’Adua died, Jonathan went on Yoruba sacking spree. The result? Other than the constitutionally-required appointments, Yorubas are invisible in his government. The Yoruba people moved from the number one position (in President Obasanjo “era”) to number 22. I’m not exactly sure how this reckoning was done, but the victims must have taken their time to do the counting. President Jonathan betrayed their votes The Yoruba people don’t deserve this neglect. Many of them voted for him in 2011, but he’s got this weird conviction that those who voted him in the Southwest and the North are the Igbo residents of those areas. I sometimes do my morning jog with a Yoruba woman, a Muslim, who told me that she voted Jonathan in 2011 because she thought that was justice — because Niger Delta produces a chunk of the government income. However, she wouldn’t repeat that mistake again in 2015. Not because Jonathan dislikes the Yoruba people, but because the guy is useless to everybody, including the long-suffering people of the Niger Delta. My own friend for many years, also a Yoruba Muslim (from the North), gave me the same reason for supporting Jonathan in 2011. This “sense of justice” reason makes me believe that must be something embedded in their culture. During our time in the diaspora, I had many Nigerian friends. The most religious of us and one of my closest neighbours is a Yoruba Muslim. His old father in Nigeria was also religious and in 2011, he was preparing to vote for Goodluck Jonathan. My friend’s father, may God rest his soul, died this year. His children, however, are still alive and would not accept Jonathan in 2015 even if you dressed him in gold. Make of that what you will, but the northern Yoruba and their southern brethren – Muslim and Christians – supported the president four years ago. It’s the reason why the Yoruba people shouldn’t let this betrayal go unpunished. The fortunate thing for Nigerians, and, particularly, the APC, is that many of them have long resolved to do this. That sense of justice will be used to shoot down Jonathan this month. Dear Yoruba brethren, you are an intelligent set of people. Do us all a favour, I call upon you in supplication: don’t vote Jonathan. As of this moment, the only Yoruba group which supports Jonathan is Afenifere. However, even Afenifere is divided. Afenifere Renewal Organization (ARG) said they didn’t support the endorsement of Jonathan enacted by Yinka Odumankin’s group. So the authentic Afenifere doesn’t support the president. The US-based Oodua organization also distanced itself from the self-serving endorsement of Odumankin’s group. Moshood Erubami, civil rights activist, summed it up: “No real Yoruba man or woman who supports a pan-Yoruba political and developmental agenda will vote for Jonathan in the coming election, because the Southwest has not gained anything from his administration.” So let’s have a bloc vote from this savvy and enterprising race. Jonathan shouldn’t continue, (Quote) (Report) (Like) (Share) |
Believeintruth:'Only a bastard will vote Jonathan' - Yoruba leaders CuteNaija Friday, March 20, 2015 The historic Parliament Building in Ibadan was over-filled yesterday as prominent Yoruba in all professions, princes and monarchs, governors and former governors, gathered to articulate their aspirations and minimum demands from the Federal Government. The high point of the summit, convened by the illustrious Yoruba retired army general, Alani Akinrinade was the total support given the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari. The summiteers declared unanimously, “It is Buhari or nobody else”. A major proponent of this declaration, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Samuel Odulana Odugade who was represented by High Chief Eddy Oyewole said, “On 28 March, 2015, let us vote for Buhari”. He condemned the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for wasting the meager resources of the country by lavishly bribing various individuals and groups to secure their supports. While Senator Anthony Adefuye strongly stated, “Only a bastard Yoruba will vote for Jonathan, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye said, ‘We will vote en masse for Buhari”. Shortly after delivering the message sent by the governorship candidate of Accord Party in the state, Senator Rasheed Ladoja that he would go the way of Yoruba people. Senator Ayo Fasanmi declared, “At this point, we Yorubas should know where we are going. PDP is distributing money to earn wrong votes. Come May 29, we will be happy when Buhari becomes the president of the nation. “Why would Jonathan appoint ministers two months to the end of his term if not that they want to use all means to steal what is left in the coffer; that is if anything is left? By God’s grace, I, Senator Ayo Fasanmi will vote for Buhari. May 29, Buhari will be sworn in as our president.” National Chairman, Afenifere Renewal Group, ARG, Honourable Olawale Oshun said that considering the fact that Yoruba people have been suffering marginalisation within the Nigerian state for the past 16 years, Yorubas should vote for leaders who have its interests at heart in order to bring an end to this unacceptable state of affairs. Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi who decried the high level of maginalisation of Yoruba in the Jonathan led administration said, “We have been subject of brazen marginalization and deliberate attempt to whittle down our historical contributions to the development of Nigeria. It will interest you to note that in the wheel of power at the centre, there are only two Yoruba people. Indeed, out of the 50 most powerful men and women in the executive, legislative, judicial and even security components of power in Nigeria, there are only two Yoruba people. These are the Chief of Staff to the President, whose choice was almost an afterthought and the Accountant General of the Federation.” Following suit, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola of State of Osun joined others in condemning Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, for derailing from the principle of ‘omoluabi” that Yoruba is known for by collecting bribe from a desperate aspirant. Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President Candidate of APC, in his short remarks, urged Nigerians to be patient at this trying moment assuring that things would soon change for the better when APC takes over government at the centre. In the communique issued at the end of the summit, the main grievances of the region include: maginalisation which has attained the status of deliberate policy of the central government of Nigeria, calculated attempts to invade and subjugate Yoruba land through covert, disguised and even official policies of the Central Government, misguiding some elements in the region for their selfish reasons, decimation of entrepreneurial ambitions of Yoruba people through Federal Institutions and agencies that are supposed to be enablers and facilitators of economic development, near virtual absence of reliable and critical infrastructure of electricity, energy, and transportation which has led to the collapse of economic activities in Yoruba land, absence of proactive, concerted, and visionary leadership in Nigeria, insecurity at the level of state of emergency, and failure of the resolutions of the National Conference to resolve fundamental issues that are prerequisite to a sustainable federalism. As a result, in the communique, they demanded for regionalism, diversification of economy, holding free, fair, credible and transparent elections as scheduled to commence on Saturday, March 28, 2015, resistance to any form of unelected government, be it Government of National Unity, Interim National Government or howsoever described, repealing of laws and policies that stifle the creativity of the people, dismantling of all pseudo-security agencies that impede peace, harass and terrorise her citizens in order to enforce pre-determined agenda that are not consistent with the wishes of the region, and removal of all bottlenecks in the way of provision of effective and efficient transportation system, electrical power, and petroleum refining infrastructure. According to the communique, “That the effectiveness of the Federal Government of Nigeria lies on focusing on the critical issues of governance that are common to all components, like defence, national security, foreign affairs, currency and exchange rate, etc, while all other socio-economic responsibilities, especially that of resource control, devolve to the federating units. Yoruba must pursue their destiny in line with the development priorities and ambitions of her people. The creation of a structural environment for effective devolution of powers to the country’s constituent units as a strategic development is imperative. Yoruba people will not hesitate to take our destiny in our own hands in the event of any attempt to compromise our democratic existence.” Dignitaries at the occasion include: Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, and his deputy, Chief Moses Adeyemo, former governors including: Dr. Kayode Fayemi and Otunba Niyi Adebayo of Ekiti State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola of State of Osun, former Military Governor of the Mid-West State, Samuel Ogbemudia, former Deputy Governor of Ekiti, Modupe Adelabu, Professor Albert Olawale, former Vice Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Professor Wale Omole, and his Ekiti State University counterpart, Professor Akin Oyebode, Professor John Ayoade, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, Senator Bayo Salami, Senator James Kolawole, , The Managing Director of The News Magazine, Bayo Onanuga, President of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes, CCII, Ambassador Olu Sanu, Adeniyi Akintola, SAN, prominent monarchs in the region including: Soun of Ogbomosho, Oba Jimoh Oladunni Oyewumi Ajagungbade III, Oba Adeniyi Sonariwo, Akarigbo Remo, Oba Kolawole Sowemimo of Owode-Egba, Asheyin of Iseyin, Oba Ganiyu Adekunle Ologunebi, and Eleruwa of Eruwa, Oba Samuel Adegbola.

Nigeria shouldn't be absorbed from this blame, they often do these too.
