Yoruba Elders Got N750million To Endorse Jonathan's Re-election Bid by Ahmadie(m): 9:09am On Mar 09, 2015 |
YORUBA ELDERS GOT N750MILLION TO ENDORSE JONATHAN'S RE-ELECTION BID ...How Governor Mimiko and Yinka Odumakin Brokered the Deal between the Elders and the Presidency As controversy continues to trail president Goodluck Jonathan's sudden romance with different groups in the South West, fresh facts have emerged that some prominent Yoruba elders got a whopping N750million as bribe in exchange for their support for Jonathan's re-election bid, The ELITES reports Fresh facts have emerged over why a few Yoruba leaders under the guise of Afenifere socio-political group reportedly endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection bid. A whopping N750m is the carrot that was dangled before the elders. Presenting a common interest under the banner of Afenifere, The ELITES' findings revealed that the elders allegedly involved include former Finance Minister and presidential candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Chief Olu Falae; Chief Reuben Fasoranti, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Chief Lanihun Ajayi and Senator Femi Okurounmu. Governor Segun Mimiko of Ondo State and Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, are said to have brokered the deal that got the Yoruba leaders rewarded for coming out in the open to pledge their support for Jonathan. The President’s popularity has rapidly nose-dived in recent months particularly in the South-West, whose crucial votes are needed to determine who wins the rescheduled presidential election come Saturday March 28. While General Buhari is believed to be in firm control of the North-East and North-West zones, which have the largest concentration of voters, Presidential Jonathan has the upper hand in the South-South and South-East zones. Both candidates are projected to share the votes from the North-Central leaving the South-West votes as the likely decider of who will emerge as the President. While Jonathan won the votes from the entire South-West with the exception of Osun State in 2011 under a secret arrangement with the political leadership of the zone then, it is believed that the majority of the votes from the zone this time around will go for General Muammadu Buhari, the APC candidate, who does not only have Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as one of his biggest backers, but also picked Tinubu’s candidate and a respected member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, as his running mate. APC currently controls four out of the six states in the South-West, including Lagos, which like Kano, has the highest number of registered voters. Ekiti, which though is currently under PDP, is likely to be shared by the two candidates considering recent revelation that the military was used by the authorities to rig the election in favour of Ayodele Fayose of the PDP. An impeccable source informed The ELITES that considering the calculations that South-West will be the decider of the presidential votes, the presidency had to reach out to certain Yoruba elders and traditional rulers who are known to be against Tinubu’s political machinery and woo them to his side in order to create the impression that some prominent Yorubas are also with the president. “The reason the President was very frequent to the South-West in the last few weeks is because he recognized the importance of the zone to his victory. Just like he did in 2011, his style is simply to throw money at the problem with the belief that very few people can resist huge inducement. I can tell you that N750m was budgeted for the elders and it has already been disbursed. The money was not just to curry their favour but to also turn them into the president’s mouthpiece in the zone,” the source informed. It was also gathered that many of the beneficiaries were delegates during the last national conference and they are already seeing Jonathan as a good source of revenue. “Although they may be lightweights when it comes to delivering votes, they have ‘nuisance’ value in the sense that they wear the toga of Yoruba leaders which they always use to their advantage when it comes to privileges and benefits. Both governor Babatunde Fashola and Igbo leaders have recently made allusions to the fact that the President’s visit to Lagos and other parts of South- West was to induce as many stakeholders as possible. theelitesnigeria..com/2015/03/exclusive-yoruba-elders-got-n750million.html?m=1 |

More 'sources' and baseless allegations. Na wa for Nigerian journalism . We need names and pictures!!! Truly, the opposition has succeeded in creating the impression of anybody voting or supporting GEJ to have been bought. The office of the presidency has been smeared too much. Things like this makes me wish GEJ was a dictator. 1 Like |

If all supporters of Jonathan were bought and APC cum buhari supporters are the only patriotic and selfless ones then; Nigeria is doomed... Fear that man that sees nothing good in you but sees himself as the embodiment of goodness at echelon of purity... Avoid them that thrive in character assassination and maligning of persons and personalities... |

I am not surprised with Mimiko but surprised Odumakin sold his birth right to the clueless one. No matter the amount spent to buy the so called Yoruba group, it will not stand nor change the will and desire of the Yoruba race to CHANGE this clueless and corrupt administration. Yoruba vote based on development and their conscience and not based on interest of some greedy groups!!! Time will tell. |

APC and Buhari really pained! Whoever endorse or support GEJ is paid while Buhari supporters are patriots. CAN/PFN endorse GEJ Ameachi said they got 7billion, no proof. Reason why many christians will vote GEJ. These pastors have influence over millions. Oyedepo, Ayo, Chris, Paul Adefarasin, Catholic, Anglican. Afenifere and most Obas in South west endorse GEJ. Now you're saying they 750m. Your eyes will clear soon enough by March 28th. Can APC give us list of major endorsement and adoption by other political parties for GMB? None. They have lies, propaganda on social, print and TVC. Deceiving themselves and the old man. |
