The Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, on Saturday, demanded a total representation of the South-West in the cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan and the creation of the Oduduwa State with its headquarters in Ile Ife.
The monarch made the requests among others when Jonathan led notable chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party, including the National Chairman of the party, Adamu Muazu, on a visit to his palace in Ile Ife, Osun State.
About 50 other traditional rulers from Osun State and environs were present to receive the president. This is the second time Jonathan would be visiting the palace to solicit the support of the royal fathers and the people of the state to ensure victory in the March 28 presidential election.
Jonathan promised the monarchs that he would correct all the lapses observed by his administration especially the low representation of the south-west people in his government.

ReplyDeleteEven if they (the bribed traditional rulers) gathered thousands of their walking sticks to pronounce blessing on you, the will of the majority people of Nigeria will prevail through the ballot. If you had done the right things when you ought to, you will not need these fruitless and wasteful gallivanting you are preoccupied with now. What a shame!.

ReplyDeleteWhen oba of Lagos said that he took the name of aspirant to Mecca to pray for victory it was okay because APC was the beneficiary. What is the difference now? Only that at this PDP is the beneficiary.

Waste of time, you will soon go to burial ground to beg the dead. This old cargos can't change the fact that people are suffering.
ReplyDeleteMust you win at all cost, if truly you have done the right thing at d right time and are transparent enough in the past, you would not need to be lobbying with any body before you get people's mandate. All these showed that you don't know what you're doing but its too late already because Nigerian's have determined and million traditional rulers except God cannot change their mind. Sikena.
