Leader of pan-Yoruba group, the Oodua People’s Congress , Dr. Fredrick Fasehun, has revealed that he played a strong role in ensuring that the coming general elections in Nigeria was postponed from its original February 14 date because President Goodluck Jonathan would have lost.
Fasehun, reportedly said this at a Post-National Conference event sponsored by the Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, video of which was posted by Saharareporters.
He explained in the video transcribed by our correspondent that he was approached by Senator Mojisola Akinfenwa, a fourth republic Senator from Osun State, who told him that he doubted if Jonathan would win the election the way things were going.
Video below...
Fasehun said, “The senator came to me and said, ‘look, I think Jonathan is losing this battle and I responded to him, ‘Baba, I will never experience any loss in battle. Today, we shall shift this election. And by the grace of God, when we had spoken to few people, Jega had no option but to shift the date of the election. If that election was not shifted, I bet you that Jonathan would have lost that election.
“The rigging had been perfected, the war-torn region of the North-East; Yobe was having 80 per cent PVC (distribution) while Lagos only had 62 per cent and even the governor himself was still crying to be given his own PVC.
“So, the few PVC we have must be maximised. That is why I am appealing to everyone. Let us all go there and this time, cast our votes in favour of a friend. Jonathan can be a friend.”
Fasehun said he did not believe in the anti-corruption mantra being broadcast by the opposition party.
He said, “I am not carried away by the fact that somebody is not corrupt… People are turning history upside down. Who is not corrupt? Have we forgotten the $2.8bn lost? Have we forgotten the 52 suitcases filled with new currencies? Have we forgotten the chairmanship of PTF?
“Have we forgotten that somebody recently said that if he doesn’t win the election or if the election does not go in his favour, the blood of baboon will mix with the blood of dogs? Whereas, Jonathan said my ambition to become President of this nation should not cost one drop of any Nigerian’s blood.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDelete“march4buhari" PDP is scared of lose “bringbackourgirls"
ReplyDeleteWhat this tells us is that Fesuhun is a dishonest person who cares only about personal interest and can care less about national interest. He wants election date shifted because he is afraid of his candidate losing. Can you imagine changing election dates in an election in the United States because someone is afraid that their candidate might lose? This tells you that some of us have not embraced democracy, no matter how much we pretend about it. Fasehun should not be proud of being an ignoramus, because that's exactly what he is. He should drop the title "Dr" and replace it with "cogent ignoramus."
ReplyDeleteHe's proud to be Among the ppl that initiated Wrong thing and he can say it in Public. What if he's d one contesting and someone did what he did?
ReplyDeleteCorrupt ppl now come out and say in public what they're Doin and since it favors PDP, they're overlooked.
These is too much.
