We Never Endorsed Jonathan —yoruba Elders Council by tp10: 8:31am On Mar 16, 2015 |
IBADAN—The Yoruba Council of Elders has said that the appearance of its National President, Brig- Gen. Adeyinka Adebayo (rtd), at a post-national conference summit in Ibadan, Oyo State, should not be mistaken for an endorsement of the candidacy of President Goodluck Jonathan in the March 28 election. YCE, also known as Igbimo Agba Yoruba, said this at the end of its National Executive Council meeting in Ibadan. The summit, which was convened by the Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, was attended by some Yoruba leaders where they endorsed the candidacy of President Jonathan. The elders, however, explained, through the Assistant National Secretary of YCE, Bayo Olateju, that their leader attended the meeting because the theme was centred on Yoruba and based on that, he had to be there. The YCE maintained that it had not shifted from its initial position that it would not enmesh itself in the murky waters of politics by endorsing any of the candidates. On the rumoured intention of the Federal Government to further postpone the election, YCE said the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has reached a deadend’ constitutionally with the dates fixed for the rescheduled 2015 general elections and any further postponement could lead to constitutional crisis. According to the apex Yoruba socio-cultural organisation: The Electoral Law prescribes the conduct of elections 60 days before the expiration of any tenure, there cannot be further shift of the election without causing constitutional crisis and with the assurances by President Jonathan that the handover date of May 29 was sacrosanct, there is nothing to fear. “As the fathers and mothers of all in Yorubaland, we are above partisan politics and it is our advice to our sons and daughters to vote for any candidate of their choice.” Though, the elders commended INEC for the distribution of the Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, they warned politicians against causing violence. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/we-never-endorsed-jonathan-yoruba-elders-council/#sthash.LaIX5Hf8.dpuf |

As long as GEJ has been divinely endorsed, He's good to go. These elders may not have officially endorsed GEJ, but their support is for him. Mind you, they didn't endorse Buhari either The YCE maintained that it had not shifted from its initial position that it would not enmesh itself in the murky waters of politics by endorsing any of the candidates. 1 Like |

Bad elders. They collected the presidents dollars and faked an endorsement for him. Too bad for GEJ, he will realise that the yoruba elders and traditional rulers who are collecting his money are deceiving him after the election. Unfortunately, it will be too late for him by then. 8 Likes |

SeverusSnape: By who These elders may not have officially endorsed GEJ, but their support is for him. Can you support the person u are not ready to endorse? Are the elders the only ones to vote in southwest? Mind you, they didn't endorse Buhari either We southwesterners are voting buhari. You can hang yourself. 17 Likes |

Re: We Never Endorsed Jonathan —yoruba Elders Council by PassingShot(m): 9:12am On Mar 16, 2015 |
Jonathan and Jonathanians are living in fool's paradise to think that they can win in the SW. Will the SW prefer to miss an opportunity to produce a VP to a Jonathan that has shunned them for a good part of 5-year presidency? Common sense is not common with GEJites but I blame them not since their master is the Mr. Clueless himself. 15 Likes |

Jonathan needs to know that his continuous romance with SW is not yielding any result because we have known who he is before now....... He thinks he can bribe his way to our hearts and this is not going to be possible Afenifere use the Yoruba agenda to sell his candidate to us and we know they are lying because there was never a Yoruba agenda in the conference OPC try to use force and now their is serious division in the rank and file of OPC.... Now we now know the shameless OBAs that where given dollars just to endorsed him whom the people have rejected. Seems any group that endorse him in SW always face problems at the end of the day..... Therefore we are not voting for you because we don't want problems again #ihavedecided Voting for GMB..... 15 Likes |
Re: We Never Endorsed Jonathan —yoruba Elders Council by Rilwayne001: 9:18am On Mar 16, 2015 |
SeverusSnape: He has endorsed buhari already and he is supporting him. and definitely the word of God is the word of man, hence, the reason why jonaTAN is been beaten in every online poll including those ones conducted by pdp/gej apologists like reno omokri and AIT. Check Nairaland poll as well. March28 you will regain your sanity by the time jonaTAN is finally trashed in the polls. Yes, I can. No, the elders are not the only ones voting, So what point are u trying to make by saying the elders are supporting him? what is even your prove that they are supporting him against their son (osinbajo) ? but majority of South westerners shall vote GEJ, You have the right to dream, butmark my words, i live in the SW, I am yoruba, and i can tell the situation here that we have decided to vote Gmb/Pyo Do you think yorubas are illiterates No, we are not. The major reason why we are againt GEJ. We are enlightened to know that this government is a retrogressive one. Speak for your self, Who are you? (personae non grata)... To speak on behalf of southwesterners? But you as a south south or south east can speak for us isn't it? Idiotard 8 Likes |

SeverusSnape: The same Ooni campaigned for Omisore and lost and you come here to brag about him? Ooni lost 80% of his influence when he sold out on June 12 1993. He lost more relevance/influence with the shoddy job his company did with Ife-Ikire road. Got no time to waste 9 Likes |
Re: We Never Endorsed Jonathan —yoruba Elders Council by dre11(m): 9:22am On Mar 16, 2015 |
SeverusSnape: People that respect Ooni only respect his throne and not the personality of the OBA or his person That's why people he endorsed aren't voted by people unless it was rigged just like the case of Oyinlola second term and omisore own Ooni have sold his soul to the highest bidder and dogs 7 Likes |
