The National Coordinator of a Yoruba group, Odua Peoples Congress, Gani Adams, says President Goodluck Jonathan deserves praise from members of the All Progressives Congress for approving a contract for the OPC to protect pipelines across the South-West.
Adams said the contract would provide at least 5,000 jobs for his boys and 10,000 jobs for other youths in the South-West.
He said this while reacting to the allegation by the APC that Jonathan bribed ethnic militias with N9bn to scuttle the elections.
Adams, who came under fire for leading thousands of youths to protest against the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, in Lagos last Monday, said supporting Jonathan was in the interest of the Yoruba nation.
He said the APC should be commending Jonathan for approving contracts for the OPC because only the Niger-Delta militants were benefitting from the oil money before now.
He said, “The allegation is that the Federal Government gave us a contract: Pipeline security. What is the security of pipeline to the OPC? We have been running this organisation without getting a dime from any government but most of the security agencies saddled with the responsibility of protecting the pipelines have failed; people were dying every day.
“Nigeria was losing more than N3bn everyday to the activities of the vandals and the agitation of that contract started from Dr. Fredrick Fasehun one and a half years ago and you know the bureaucracy of Nigerian ministries. It was a long process and it was just granted and it will empower nothing less than 5,000 youths from my side.
“Altogether, that is about 15,000 jobs for Yoruba land. Will you deny Yoruba youths the opportunity of getting 15,000 jobs because of politics?”
Adams said the APC was only being hypocritical because most of its leaders had oil licences. He said the major reason they were against Jonathan was because their licences were due to expire in September and they feared he would not renew the contracts.

Miscreant and thugs are now dinning with Jonathan out of desperation, what does Gani Adams know about job creation if not to grease his pocket with US dollar contract from Jonadaft , what is the job of Nigerian Navy?
ReplyDeletenavy enpowered protect pipeline.they are to mount and protect the teretiary boundary of water both sea, oceans ect.secondly the navy had compromise their duties and woefully failed.
DeleteSo, if our navy failed the next thing is militia? Perhaps you should advice him to give armed robbers from prison such opportunity.
DeleteWhen will he give or allocate a pipeline or airport to Shekau? @anony 9,32.
DeleteGani Adams has sold his youth movement for a bowl of soup. What a shame?
ReplyDeleteNigerians should send a clear message to President Jonathan and his groups through the ballot box. Just a few days to go.
Hmm. Gani Adams. Did you just realised that Jonathan is performing and vying for the position of the President for a second term, ir u just got gingered?
ReplyDeleteMoney good ooo!!!
ReplyDeleteJonathan is daily pushing the country to the brink. Instead of strengthening and funding our security agencies and police to effectively discharge their constitutional responsibility he is busy arming ethnic militia who will in near future rise against the Nigeria State in arms. This is a very dangerous way to patronise miscreants to support your government.

ReplyDeleteLet's tell ourselves the truth, Jonathan has tried for Nigeria and we want him again and again, is the best so far for now after Awolowo
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your children
DeleteHow much dollars or nairas did he give you? Do you have uninterrupted electricity supply at home?
DeleteVery soon Jonathan will award pipeline protection to Boko Haram in the North just for him to win this election.
ReplyDeleteWe are in big trouble no doubt. I never believed that the president can get this dirty. He has lost my support. I will definitely mobilise my household to vote against him.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what country this guy called Gani Adams resides in. So this clown is satisfied that in a country where the joblessness rate is 60%, 5,000 jobs (empty promises ofcourse) is all he cares about? Unemployment rate among university graduates is rated at 90% amidst the highest rate of corruption in the world. Gani Adams deserves to be sent into exile in Somalia.
ReplyDeleteGEJ is a god's sent from heaven to Nigeria.. Obasanjo,Buhari&Co can kiss my fat booty Ass..
ReplyDeleteHe will remain God send in the life of you and your family, God will continue to do to you and your family what he did to Nigerians
DeleteJonatan has finished Nigeria totally, now the Navy is sleeping while militias from the west n south are providing security for pipelines, Gani Adams is only after the national cake that is being shared by the desperate President in order to get reelected,The question Gani should have asked our desperate president is why the president is awarding the contract few weeks to election and not since 4 years ago, its so Obvious he is after the money, God will Judge Your generations to come for telling Yorubas that you are providing Jobs for them.
ReplyDeleteam not too surprise that Gani Adam can be this daft and senseless. you just like a goat that is deceived with grass. Jonathan is doing all he failed to do many years ago to hug people vote. he said it in sun news paper 2010 that he will not go for second term, he promise constant electricity in the country before the end of his tenure and he has failed. don't be deceived by all this political display. a president that lied can not move the nation forward. if not for greed, Gani carry people along to sell their birth right for dollars. it's a pity....when pity die, no body can pity pity!! have spoken....
