The attention of Afenifere
has been drawn to the latest garbage from the propaganda repertoire of the Spokesman
of APC (and back -up for PDP) Alhaji Lai Mohammed in which he dragged Afenifere
into his usual wolf-crying.
Alleging a plan by the PDP
to rig the 2015 elections, Mohammed made an atavistic charge against Afenifere
the very ladder his bosses climbed to power in 1999 by saying that the ruling
party plans to:
"Engage in the destabilization of the APC using moles and fifth columnists: instigate chaos in the South West using what they call the "Old Afenifere Guards...."
"Engage in the destabilization of the APC using moles and fifth columnists: instigate chaos in the South West using what they call the "Old Afenifere Guards...."
We ordinarily would have
ignored this jejune claim as another in the series of "Made in
Oluwole" intelligence report from the APC Goebellian Academy but for
the fact that Mohamed is coming out officially with LIES he and his ilk have
been circulating in whispering campaigns lately.
Before we go any further
we need to interrogate the moral plank on which the APC stands to blackmail
Afenifere with PDP tar brush.A time comes when a child asks that we
"pitan fun"(tell him some pertinent history):
1)Do the APC folks think
we have forgotten that when the ACN core of it cobbled AC in 2007,it was the
sitting Vice-President of PDP who was their Presidential candidate?
2) Was
Ribadu who was fielded by the ACN as its presidential candidate in
2011 not coming from a PDP administration?
3) And
when the right offer was made did ACN not sell its Presidential candidate to
the PDP in the 2011 elections?
4)
What percentage of APC first 11 today were active players in the PDP at one
time or another?
5) Did
Lai Mohmmed not in July this year announce with glee to the whole world
that 12 PDP governors were coming to join their
"Adalu"(assorted)Progressives Congress?
6 )Has
APC not taken adverts in the newspapers to congratulate the nPDP whose
chieftains have openly called on the president to stop the EFCC probing them?
7 Did
Lai Mohammed not issue a statement a few days back that the PDP won't return
to the PDP?
8 Has
APC responded to the charge that where the PDP was awarding a kilometer of road
for N50m in the south west,the APC governments in the same zone are awarding a
kilometer at N1b to Hitech?
One C Okereke who listed
"12 Ways To Identify An APC stooge" on FB made the following points
among others :
A)He(APC
stooge)defines the word PROGRESSIVES as all those against Mr President"
B)All factional PDP members are progressives and will hold such titles temporarily until they return to the true PDP" How true!
B)All factional PDP members are progressives and will hold such titles temporarily until they return to the true PDP" How true!
Now to
the substance o the allegation by Lai Mohammed let us make it clear that
Afenifere is not available to be used by either the APC or the PDP.We will
however take position on national politics at the appropriate time without
apology to anyone.
Our priority at the moment is resolving the nationality question at a Sovereign National Conference without which Nigeria may not be able to conduct elections in 2015.

As far as Yorubaland is
concerned we are committed to restoring the region to its time tested politics
of honour, integrity, accountability and leadership with pedigree.The days of
power entrepreneurs and reactionary forces masquerading as progressives are
numbered in the region.
If
that constitutes "destabilization" of South West, may God and the
spirits of our ancestors not allow the stability of those taking advantage of
our people.Finally, given the level
of thuggery and official sponsored violence that we have seen in Ekiti and Osun
lately against internal and external opposition to the APC,2we want the general
public to note those making "destabilization " allegation against
Afenifere should anything untoward happens to any of its leaders.
