WhyNigerians should reject Jonathan on February 14 – Tinubu The Sun News / Our Reporter / 23 hours ago FROM OLUSEYE OJO, IBADAN National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, yesterday bombed President Goodluck Jonathan for allegedly encouraging corruption in the country. Speaking at the flag-off of re-election campaign of Oyo State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, at the Mapo Hill, Tinubu flayed Jonathan for purportedly claiming that he did not know that 400,000 barrels of oil were stolen from the country. According to the former governor of Lagos State, Jonathan, who is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), must be voted out of office because he reportedly claimed he was not aware that some people have been stealing in his presence. Tinubu, however, urged eligible voters in Oyo State to cast their votes for Governor Ajimobi, who is the APC governorship candidate in the state and the presidential candidate of the party, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, during next month’s general elections. Tinubu, also took a swipe at the former governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, who is the governorship candidate of the Accord Party (AP). He stated that Ladoja was an ingrate to APC and those of them that ensured his reinstatement when he (Ladoja) was illegally impeached as governor in 2006. His words: “I stood behind Ladoja when he was removed from office. I stood by him from Lagos and made sure he was reinstated. We know how much we spent. We brought Ajimobi and said you should support him as your younger brother, who is intelligent and visionary, but you said it is one Accord Party you hold. Accord Party is a party of deception. We enjoin Ladoja to support his brother to win in the February 28 election.” Former governors of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi and Segun Oni, also appealed to the electorate in the state to vote for Buhari and Ajimobi. Former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, who said he knew PDP inside out because he once acted as its former national secretary, added: “Ajimobi should therefore be allowed to complete all he had started. Jonathan has completely got burnt (o ti jona tan), so don’t vote wrongly. We should exhibit unity of purpose in the South West. Ensure you get your voter card and vote for APC.” In his speech, Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State alleged that proceeds from fraudulent sales of kerosene have been used by the PDP to fund President Jonathan’s campaign team and the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN). “The Federal Government deliberately sells a litre of kerosene to cronies at N40:90k while the cronies sell to marketers at N95 per litre.
