With 32 days left to the big one (2015 General
Elections), various parties with their candidates are adopting all
possible means to win the trust and votes of the people.
One of which is President Goodluck Jonathan who went with his
campaign team to Ibadan, Oyo State, yesterday, January 12, 2015, Monday.
The President who arrived at the Mapo Hall venue of the campaign with his team at about 12.50pm first paid homage to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Samuel Odulana, before doing any other thing.
However, too many eye brows were raised after the president’s visit as during the campaign, President Jonathan lambasted some former National Democratic Coalition leaders in the South-West, referring to them as hypocrites.
Challenging the South-West leaders to justify their leadership style and love for the people, President jonathan said,
“I did say that the South-West reminds one of the days of the National Democratic Coalition. But I am convinced that some of the NADECO actors are hypocrites, because they cannot justify what they are doing today. The South-West believes in human rights and social justice. No south-westerner will pray that someone who does not go through proper trial will be jailed for 300 years and above. If they are not hypocrites, they couldn’t be doing what they are doing today, but I don’t want to go into that now. If they are not hypocrites, they will not be talking about not empowering women.
“Without education, you cannot change people. If I did not go to
school, I will not be where I am today. Every Nigerian child must have
the Goodluck opportunity; that is why we are building out-of-school
children secondary schools and Almajiris schools in some parts of
Nigeria. I will not build prison for you but I will build schools for
you.”
President Jonathan had in his entourage the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adamu Mu’azu, members of the National Working Committee of the party, the Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, Mrs. Jumoke Akinjide, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metu; the Director General of the National Campaign Organisation, Dr. Ahmadu Alli; the Director, Media and Publicity of his campaign organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode; the party’s governorship candidate in Oyo State, Teslim Folarin were also in Ibadan with President Jonathan.
You’d also recall that just few days after being criticized by former president Olusegun Obasanjo in his new book, ‘The watch’ President Goodluck Jonathan paid a visit to the former president in his Abeokuta last home last night to squash the rumours of a feud between them.
