The All Progressives Congress’ Candidate
for Ekiti Central senatorial district, Amb.
Gbenga Olofin, has described the
clampdown on opposition by Governor
Ayodele Fayose, as a threat to the 2015
general elections.
In a press release made available to
journalists on Sunday in Ado Ekiti,
Olofin said the desperation of Fayose to
rig in all his imposed candidates during
the elections would be resisted by the
people.
Four cabinet members in the
administration of former Governor
Kayode Fayemi were arrested on Friday
by the Government’s assets recovery task
force for allegedly withholding
government official cars.
Those arrested were Biodun Akin-Fasae,
Ayodele Jinadu, Oluwole Ariyo and Dr
Bayo Orire.
The Commissioner of Police, Taiwo
Lakanu, however, invited them to a
meeting on that day where he explained
that the Police had no hand in their
arrest.
“I only intervened by calling them for a
meeting and advised them on the issue
because, if not well handled, it could
heat up the polity. All I want is an
amicable settlement,” Lakanu had told
our correspondent.
The APC had described their arrest and
forceful confiscation of their official cars
over non-payment of the cost as a ploy
by Fayose to take its leaders out of
circulation ahead of February 14 general
elections.
Olofin said it was worrisome that the
governor was supervising “attacks on
innocent Ekiti People because of politics,
tearing and destruction of posters and
billboards across the state in a day light.
“Everybody is now sleeping with one eye
closed in the state because of the fear of
the unknown and the security across the
state has been deteriorating because the
action of the governor has heated up the
polity.”
Olofin urged traditional rulers and the
appropriate authority to call the
Governor to order.
“Ekiti people are expecting better
performances from the Governor, but the
reverse is the case now. The signals of
impending electoral defeat of his
candidates that Fayose is getting from
the populace has turned him to nothing
but a wounded Lion.”
According to him, the current wind of
change blowing in the country is a
divine one, adding that anybody that
wants to prevent it in Ekiti will be the
one to be first consumed by the wrath of
God.
He described the APC presidential
candidate, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari
(retd.), as a man of principle, integrity,
honour, an advocate of the masses and a
great crusader of war against corruption
who was ready to bring about the
desired development into the country.
“The challenges being faced by Nigerians
raging from political instability,
economic kwarshiokor, insecurity,
institutionalised corruption and above
all, flagrant abuse of constitution called
for a change in the leadership of the
country to move forward,” he said.
Olofin, however, called on APC
supporters to work hard to ensure that
all the party’s candidates win the
general elections.

This APC always coming up wt something new into the politics..the other day its APC apps I download nice though.They seem to me they always think ahead what a change in politics wt strong opposition.. only God kno hw 2019 will be if APC still in existence.

Rubbish post and then.. let me put this quote I just read from uncle Dee article. “Good day people, vote your conscience. Don’t
be manipulated. If your Pastor says don’t vote
for a Muslim, ask him if Daniel served a Saint,
whether Modeccai did not serve King Ahasseurus
and if Joseph was not a Prime Minister under
Pharaoh. This election is not about North versus
South, nor is it about Christian versus Muslim. It
is about Nigeria and good governance. Don’t
allow politicians to divide us. When they share
money, they don’t talk about religion. When they
want donation from Aliko Dangote, they don’t
remember he is a Muslim. When they enter an
aircraft, they don’t ask the religious faith of the
pilot… They and their wives go to Dubai to spend
money. Dubai is in the United Arab Emirate but
they have no problem buying houses there. But
when it comes to politics back home, they say
their opponents want to Islamise you…
“Vote for your conscience. If you want to vote for
Jonathan, vote for him based on your conviction
that he has performed in your estimation and not
because he’s a Christian. If you want to vote for
Buhari, vote for him because you feel
disenchanted with the Jonathan government, not
because he is a Muslim. Say no to bigotry. God
bless Nigeria…”
There is nothing more to add. The choice is
yours. Decide on who your preference is. It shall
be well with our nation… !

Fellow Nigerians, let me confess that I have a
soft spot for men of God, especially Pastors. The
reason can’t be difficult to fathom. I’m not just
a Christian; I had the great privilege of being
born by my heavily spiritual mum and dad in an
Aladura church in Ile-Ife. That was in the good
old days when men and women truly served God
and prayed more than a praying mantis. We
never doubted the efficacy of prayers or the
supremacy of the almighty. We lived side by side
with Muslims, animists, atheists and sometimes
worshipped with them or indeed, practised
whatever we chose to practice. That was your
own business.
We celebrated every festival. We even sometimes
chose to fast during Ramadan. For us, it was all
fun, sitting down in the evenings, under the stars
or moonlight, breaking fast with our Islamic
neighbours. Or waking up in the early hours to
partake in feast called Saari. Wow, my mouth
and tongue are salivating together as I go
through this process of recollection. We attended
the same schools with the children of the
privilegentsia. The only difference was that a few
of them rode to school in chauffeur-driven cars,
even convertible Chevrolets and Phantom Rolls
Royces like Ooni Aderemi’s children and grand
children, while most of us ‘rode’ on our legs.
But it wasn’t really a big deal as we lived happily
as one.
A brief recital of my family’s religious origin is
even worth repeating here and now. My paternal
grandparents were Muslims from Ihievbe village,
in the present day Edo State, Owan East Local
Government. I can’t remember ever meeting my
paternal grandmother but I knew my paternal
grandfather as Baba Onirungbon Yeuke (a
character from one of D. O. Fagunwa’s novels)
because he had that long and curly beard like a
Rastafarian. He was gentle and meek and prayed
to Allah endlessly.
I often wonder how my father migrated from our
village and meandered his way all the way to
Ile-Ife where he met my beautiful mum, fell in
love and got married. It is even stranger to me
how a son of such a devout Muslim navigated
himself from the Islamic faith to converting to
Christianity. Not just that, he picked up the name
of Jacob and my eldest brother picked up the
name Simeon while I was given the name Joseph
at birth as if to cement the nature of my birth
and foretell my future as someone who would
make certain forecasts as a journalist.
The essence of my preamble is to rhapsodise
about how beautiful and tolerant life was in
those wonderful old days before we lost our
innocence in recent times. It is strange how
things have changed since then. I think the
churches in the bid to catch the new generation
over-funkyfied the way we now worship. Religion
has almost become an arm and leg of showbiz.
And the Pastors have lost control in this era of
totalitarian freedom. Beyond that, there are too
many challenges confronting our youths today.
The first is the collapse of education. The second
is the lack of jobs even if you manage to
graduate from one of our troublesome
institutions. The third is lack of social welfare.
The fourth is lack of hope in the foreseeable
future. The last but not the least of the
debilitating factors is lack of parental care and
attention.
To further compound the volatility of our
combustive situation, our churches have misread
and misjudged these children of hate and anger
who attend services with their attention
elsewhere. What I’m trying to hint at and explain
is that our men of God must wake up to the
shocking realities of the 21st century. These
youths have acquired a massive power via
information technology. Indeed it is almost akin
to a god they worship. Many of them have
become so paranoid about life and our society
so much that they see virtually everyone as the
enemy who contributed to their misery and
disillusionment.
These youths can be divided into three
categories. The first are those who have
managed to survive against all odds and are
trudging on with the hope of a greater tomorrow.
The second are those acutely frustrated who
have given up on society as it is and believe
they can cause a peaceful or bloody revolution in
the land. This category breaks into two parts;
those who prefer the subtle approach and would
encourage the democratic process and those
who feel the whole system should come all
tumbling down. The last are those with
inordinate ambition who feel they can only make
it in life by being errand boys to every
government in power. Their mission is to survive
any government in power and preserve the status
quo with the hope of picking up some crumbs, or
even power itself, sooner or later.
To exacerbate matters, the long and short of our
current dilemma is that our politicians have
succeeded in tearing our social fabric apart using
the instrumentality of religion. What I find most
bizarre is the present game of trading ridiculous
religious propaganda. The Christian politician
tells us to beware of Muslims who may choose
to Islamise Nigeria. The Muslim tells us to avoid
Christians who are likely to Christianise the
Northern Muslims. For God’s sake why are we
doing this to ourselves at this time and age
when smaller and less prosperous nations are
doing great things devoid of religious wranglings.
Our proclivity for matters of faith seems to have
assumed the most dangerous dimension in the
course of campaigning for the February 2015
Presidential elections. The visit of our President
to Bishop David Oyedepo’s church last Sunday
was the climax of it for me. Since I joined
Twitter and became addicted to it, I doubt if I’ve
ever witnessed the torrents of attacks that came
out of that innocuous visit. A new coinage THE
GATE OF HELL went viral because it was
reported by God knows who that the famous
Bishop rebuked those opposed to the second
term ambition of Mr President, promising to
banish them to the Gate of Hell and lock them
in. Till this day, I have searched fruitlessly for
any such statement and found none.
I have endeavoured to watch the video of the
Presidential visit which was mercifully uploaded
on YouTube and nothing of the sort emanated
from the Bishop unless the full footage had been
cleverly edited which I doubt. I’m one of those
converts to Buharism but I will never support
anything that would further divide our nation.
I’ve had only two encounters with Bishop
Oyedepo and he left me in awe of him on both
occasions. The first was a Virgin Atlantic flight
to London many years back and he sat next to
me and we chatted like we were old buddies. I
was impressed with his simplicity and candour.
The last time I saw him was about three years
ago in Ghana at the opening of Jimoh Ibrahim’s
Energy Bank. As soon as I walked into the board
room and greeted everyone, I noticed that Bishop
Oyedepo and everyone in the office remained
standing and I said to him, “Daddy, you can’t
stand up for me sir”, to which he replied, “I have
to stand up for our future President.” I was truly
humbled by such humility. Therefore, I’m always
sad to read all those vicious attacks on this
great man of God.
I have read many reports about his fabulous
wealth, his private jets, his expensive
universities, etcetera, and concluded that the
Bishop is a victim of success. Chief MKO Abiola
had a way of putting it succinctly: the bigger the
head, the bigger the headache. I don’t know of
anyone who would tell the number one citizen of
Nigeria not to attend his church for fear of a
political backlash. And if the President comes,
his duty is to bless the august visitor. Even our
Lord Jesus Christ did not discriminate against
anyone.
What has happened is that many of our young
folks want to know where our Pastors stand
today and that can’t be an easy task. They want
to know if our respected clergymen feel what the
rest of society feels. This is the basis of all this
agitation.
In fact, I don’t envy our Daddy G O, Pastor E. A
Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God. Many of these young guys have been
asking how neutral can he be now that a senior
respected Pastor under his mentorship, Professor
Yemi Osinbajo SAN is now the Vice Presidential
candidate of APC. The dilemma is further
compounded by the fact that the President
enjoys a warm relationship with Pastor Adeboye.
It is not going to be easy but God will guide His
men aright. They will still pray for everyone
fortunate to come in contact with them. I was a
beneficiary of such blessing during my own
Presidential campaign. We need to appreciate
the enormity of their responsibilities to society at
large.
Our leaders also have some lessons to learn
from this debacle. They should try to visit
Pastors as anonymously and incognito as
possible. I did so when I contested in 2011
choosing to visit one of the most revered Pastors
Daddy Adeboye in his office at the Camp,
unobtrusively after one of the Church’s major
celebrations.
It would be terrible if we open up our icons to
public odium because some leaders want to
exploit the Pastors’ spirituality and popularity to
electoral advantage. The religious card being
played is fast becoming ineffective and divisive.
A top Pastor sent me a few messages which I
intend to consolidate and paraphrase and share
with you because of their relevance given the
climate of religious hatred being fomented by our
politicians.
“Good day people, vote your conscience. Don’t
be manipulated. If your Pastor says don’t vote
for a Muslim, ask him if Daniel served a Saint,
whether Modeccai did not serve King Ahasseurus
and if Joseph was not a Prime Minister under
Pharaoh. This election is not about North versus
South, nor is it about Christian versus Muslim. It
is about Nigeria and good governance. Don’t
allow politicians to divide us. When they share
money, they don’t talk about religion. When they
want donation from Aliko Dangote, they don’t
remember he is a Muslim. When they enter an
aircraft, they don’t ask the religious faith of the
pilot… They and their wives go to Dubai to spend
money. Dubai is in the United Arab Emirate but
they have no problem buying houses there. But
when it comes to politics back home, they say
their opponents want to Islamise you…
“Vote for your conscience. If you want to vote for
Jonathan, vote for him based on your conviction
that he has performed in your estimation and not
because he’s a Christian. If you want to vote for
Buhari, vote for him because you feel
disenchanted with the Jonathan government, not
because he is a Muslim. Say no to bigotry. God
bless Nigeria…”
There is nothing more to add. The choice is
yours. Decide on who your preference is. It shall
be well with our nation… !

Op the problem with Nigerian is because we are not been real and we forget things easily... Hw can d youth forgot d job scam by Moro and some atrocities committed by ds govt in hurry...now d youth ar fighting each other cos of leader who don't giv a damn.My opinion let d funds and benefits attached to d politics b reduce to the least nd we will av d right ppu fo d job.

Hard luck..

Always I will do..not ds is what we av done?same story same promises...

Clerverly:
GEJ was born in 1957 but he visited PH in 1955, Jimi Agbaje got a letter signed in the future... PDP members are in charge of the black hole

Broz why u dey find issue in this?So u don't kno that GEJ transformation was since no be today.

abi...let discuss issue nd leave tissue.

Why scream naija politics? He is only say who he is without any iorta of lies so is either u accept him as an illiterate or leave him..I think he is not claiming what he is not.. well ds is naija if u say d truth u wl b condemned nd if u lie again u wl b criticized so wh one naija?

Politics in naija is not based on ideological view that is why our politicians keep jumping from one post to another...hmmn in politics no permanent enemy or permanent friends.

Yes na we kno.. the best dt don't giv a damn;the best dt won't send corrupt ppu to prison;the best that 12 Nigerian youth died under his ministry and the man Borough still walk free;the best dt Lecturer went on strike for 6months and poly lecturer go fo almost 2yrs,ooops least I forget the best that $12 or is it $20 billion missed and up till now d forensic audit report is not out:the best that 217 girls missing and nothing was done..the best under which 5 is greater than 16..yes he is the best indeed under his watch dollar is now 210 what a president?

No wonder..na only them waka come..above all a learning point is for us to live and protect the present very well so when it tomorrow com the past won't hurt us.Pls guide all ur document with fear and trembling...cos right from the day of Buhari certificate saga,certificate presentation is suffering violence and only d violent will produce it easily.

Ehen ehen na wa o...even the presidio? No wonder..na only them waka come..above all a learning point is for us to live and protect the present very well so when it tomorrow com the past won't hurt us.

Sorry just felt since we have office of the first
lady either having constitution backup or
not...since most time tax payer money are been
spent by them,I think there is need for debate to
be organise among the wife of the presidential
aspirant too.
Let them tell us what they will use their position
as first lady to do and how they will ensure that
women gender are been taken care of including
the children.
so I beg the organiser of the Nigeria debate to
please include this as part of their program..or
what do u ppu of naija think?

NERG this debate is not complete if the first ladies won't debate..though I kno they av no constitutional backing but since they enjoy the tax payer money we also need them to tell us what they will do better this time...so #firstladymustdebate.

They also make u cry...and wipe ur tears always too.

Wish this won't just stop at the TV level but we transit into reality.

Haters we not love this...if we cannot unite cos of our common interest let unite cos of the bad egg among us to fight corruption;unemployment, sebtiment,etc.

Haters we not love this...

Since there is no owner there won't be accountability.. I am k with the one with owner so I will hold someone responsible fo his or her failure.. I will also kno whr to channel my grievances in term of failure in governance .

But wait ooooo how Oga Jona na only PDP print form for and reject other aspirant from trying their luck?
