Will Obasanjo, Adeboye, Oyedepo Work For Jonathan’s Re-Election?

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>When Muhammadu Buhari, former head of state and a retired general, was elected the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in December, the opposition party took a massive leap forward in its bid to wrest power from President Goodluck Jonathan.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then everybody waited with baited breath on who <b>Buhari</b>'s running mate was going to be. A Muslim-Muslim ticket would have been hard to market but if the candidate was going to come from the south-west, the political heavyweights are mostly Muslims.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Yemi Osinbajo</b>, a professor of law, pastor and former Lagos Commissioner, came to the rescue. He got the nod, and the initial reaction was that he is a political lightweight. But a few days of media marketing soon roused public enthusiasm, and the <b>Buhari-Osinbajo</b> ticket suddenly became a bestseller.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ever since, it has been an upward swing for <b>APC</b>, with the Peoples Democratic Party <b>(PDP)</b> and Jonathan playing catch-up. Jonathan could not have had it so scary. Social media was awash with reports that the Redeemed Christian Church of God, probably the second biggest Christian denomination in Nigeria, had endorsed the Buhari-Osinbajo. After all, Osinbajo is a pastor in the Redeemed Church.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari, whose ambition had been very difficult to market to the south as well as to Christians, began to gain ground in the southern part of the country. The Christian clergy were getting more comfortable with him. <b>Ejike Mbaka</b>, a popular Catholic priest in the south-east, specifically campaigned for Buhari. <b>Sunday Adelaja</b>, a Ukraine-based Nigerian pastor reputed to have the largest church in Europe, has also endorsed Buhari on the account of his pastor friend, Osinbajo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Jonathan Fights Back</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you expected <b>Jonathan</b> to fold his arms and then wave <b>Aso Rock</b> goodbye, you made the wrong assumption. He has been on the counteroffensive, flagging off his campaign in Lagos on January 8 in what could be described as an impressive outing in front of an impressive crowd - at least, to his supporters. He has also fought back at APC's characterizations of him. On his own, he launched rare attacks at Buhari and APC, at some point saying his opponent, who is 72, <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/buhari-is-medieval-king-jonathan.html">does not even know his own phone number</a></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But by far the biggest step taken by the president is his <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/obasanjo-hosts-adeboye-oyedepo-jonathan.html">meeting with his adversary and benefactor, former President Olusegun Obasanjo</a></b>, at his home in Abeokuta, Ogun state, on Monday evening. Even more significant is the presence of Enoch Adeboye, the general overseer of the Redeemed Church, once listed among TIME magazine’s most influential persons in the world. Also present was David Oyedepo, who leads the Living Faith Ministry, another big church.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Contrary to the belief that the choice of Osinbajo would get the endorsement of Adeboye, <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2014/12/osibajo-church-celebrates-pastors.html">the church had denied the tweet which was probably posted by an enthusiast</a></b>. The official position is that <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2014/12/osibajo-we-dont-meddle-into-politics.html">the church does not play politics and will not endorse any candidate</a></b>. But among the church hierarchy, the word is that the election is between Jonathan and Buhari, not between Jonathan and Osinbajo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obasanjo, meanwhile, has done enough damage to Jonathan to last him a lifetime. He has openly attacked the president viciously. <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2014/12/my-watch-obasanjo-appeals-against-book.html">His trilogy, <i>'My Watch'</i>, is still in the cooler following a court order</a></b>. It contains some of the <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2014/12/must-watch-video-obasanjo-reveals-why.html">most damaging assessments of Jonathan any human being could offer</a></b>. Clearly, Obasanjo is opposed to Jonathan and a second term bid.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the option for Obasanjo is Buhari - his arch rival since 2003. Contrary to widely circulated messages on social media that the former president had endorsed Buhari “even if he is going to jail me”, he has not officially pitched his camp anywhere. He continues to say he would remain in PDP and would not defect, while PDP chieftains, including <b>Adamu Mua’zu</b>, the party chairman, are hopeful that Obasanjo would not work against the party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obasanjo, <b>TheCable</b> understands, has been pulling the strings behind the scene for Buhari, encouraging his loyalists to work for him. But he has not made a definite commitment. This can be interpreted in two ways. The first is that he does not want to be seen to be openly working against the PDP; after all, his professed problem is with Jonathan. The second interpretation is that being Obasanjo, he is holding out for a deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2011, according to <b>Nasir el-Rufai</b>, minister of FCT in Obasanjo’s government, the former president called a few of his loyalists together and asked them to work for Buhari against Jonathan. <b>Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala</b> was to be drafted in as Buhari’s running mate. Recounting the story in his book, <b>'Accidental Public Servant'</b>, el-Rufai said as soon as PDP gave the controversial Ogun Central senatorial ticket to Obasanjo’s daughter, <b>Iyabo</b>, Obasanjo backed out of the deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Jonathan’s camp, therefore, there is optimism that Obasanjo is still “available”. Their prayer is that at least if he won’t campaign for Jonathan, he should stop campaigning against him. Obasanjo’s primary grouse is believed to be because of the prominent role being played in the south-west PDP by his “enemies” - <b>Buruji Kashamu</b>, the mobilisation committee chairman, and <b>Ayo Fasoye</b>, Governor of Ekiti state. Both of them, who used to be his associates, have been attacking him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Monday’s meeting in Abeokuta was at the instance of Jonathan, who, <b>TheCable</b> learnt, enlisted the support of Adeboye and Oyedepo to help talk to Obasanjo to sheathe his sword. It is one of those meetings where nothing filters out. Journalists were not briefed. All queries were deflected. No statement will be issued. It was classified as “private meeting”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nevertheless, one fact is emerging: Jonathan has not been cast aside by the two prominent Christian leaders. They may not guarantee him re-election, but they are not going to do an <i>Mbaka</i> or <i>Adelaja</i> either. As for Obasanjo, the guessing game continues.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Former President Olusegun Obasanjo would have been jailed had his successor, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, not died prematurely in office in May 2010.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, said this in an exclusive but yet to be published interview with the <b><a href="http://www.dailytimes.com.ng/article/yar%E2%80%99adua-would-have-jailed-obj-%E2%80%93-oba-akiolu">Daily Times</a></b> in his palace at the weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Let me tell you something … if Yar’Adua had been alive for six months before he died, Obasanjo would have been in the prison yard. Because, I, Oba Akiolu, I had the opportunity of seeing some of the things on ground", the Lagos monarch said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though he declined to give details, Oba Akiolu hinted that it had to do with corruption- related issues saying that by February, he would reveal all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The time has not come; after February, I will tell you people more and I’m serious", he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oba Akiolu added: "I know what I’m saying, if the late President Yar'Adua had lived for another six months or one year, Obasanjo would have been in prison yard. Quote me, I, Oba Akiolu, said it and I mean it. And I still maintain it".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the monarch, there were still many things not yet in the public domain, but he vowed to reveal all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His words: "There are many things still hidden and I will expose them. He is a pretender of the highest order. Obasanjo is a pretender and an anti- Lagos. With his mouth at Island Club on 24th April 2003, he said: 'You either love Lagos or leave Lagos'. He didn't love Lagos and didn't leave Lagos. And all the financial gains he made are from Lagos here. What he acquired genuinely and what he did not acquire genuinely, but everything is in the hands of God. You will see what will happen".</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The leadership of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) this morning paid a courtesy visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his Hilltop Mansion in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC Presidential Campaign Team is in Abeokuta for the Ogun State presidential rally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It will be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan and his campaign team were also in Abeokuta yesterday to solicit the support of Ogun State electorate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The President was scheduled to visit Obasanjo before the kick-off of his campaign yesterday, but the former president reportedly <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/obasanjo-sneaks-out-to-avoid-meeting.html">sneaked out of his Hilltop Mansion to avoid meeting Jonathan</a></b> and his campaign team.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former president, however, <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/obasanjo-hosts-adeboye-oyedepo-jonathan.html">held a secret meeting with the president late last night in the presence of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the RCCG; and Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winners Chapel</a></b>. Both clergymen were present at the meeting with Jonathan on Obasanjo's instance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obasanjo was reported to have insisted that he would not host Jonathan except he came along with a prominent Nigerian.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The trio of Obasanjo, Adeboye and Oyedepo attended the President's daughter's marriage ceremony in Abuja on Saturday.</div>

<b>All Progressives Congress, APC, South-East geopolitical zone is excited by the promise made to Ndigbo by its presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, (retd) to revamp the abandoned coal deposits in Enugu.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari had, while flagging off his presidential campaign in Enugu, promised to revamp the abandoned coal deposits in the State and use it for electricity generation in the South-East zone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement yesterday, South-East spokesman of APC, Osita Okechukwu, said Buhari had once again rekindled hope in the people of the South-East that the coal deposits abandoned since the civil war would be revamped.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okechukwu recalled that in the 70’s and even up till the 80’s, coal in Enugu was used to power the Oji River Power Station, which generated electricity for the Eastern region and beyond.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: "Then, electricity from Oji River Power Station served industries in the Eastern Region like Premier Cashew Industry in Oghe, Avop Vegetable Oil Nachi, Sunrise Flour Mills, Aluminium Industry Ohebe Dim, among others."</div>

<b>Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Goodluck Jonathan met on Monday at Obasanjo’s mansion  on Presidential Hilltop Estate, Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sources close to the Obasanjo home said the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and founder of Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, were at the meeting at the instance of the former President as one of conditions given by Obasanjo before any meeting with Jonathan could take place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was learnt that the men of God were called to be witnesses of what would transpire between Jonathan and his benefactor, Obasanjo, during the meeting after the terms of the outcome of previous series of discussions between the two were allegedly not followed by the President.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was further learnt that Obasanjo would use the avenue to ask Jonathan salient questions to the hearing of Adeboye and Oyedepo bordering on security situation of the country, his loyalists who were weeded out of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) as well as the matter concerning the South West Organising Mobilisation Committee Chairman of PDP, Prince Buruji Kashamu, whom the former President said can’t be his leader.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The meeting was still on - going as at the time of filing the report by 9:32pm.</div>

<b>The hostility between President Goodluck Jonathan and former President Olusegun Obasanjo worsened Monday as the former President sneaked out from his palatial building in Abeokuta, immediately Jonathan arrived the state capital.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obasanjo who was driven out in his black jeep and one security Hilux van, shunned his main entrance and made use of his private gate through which he sneaked out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A source close to Obasanjo’s Hilltop mansion in Abeokuta had earlier confided in <b>Vanguard</b> correspondent said that President Jonathan was not in Obasanjo itinerary for the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also hinted that, Obasanjo jetted out around 2:59 p.m few minutes after the helicopter that flew the President to the State touched the ground.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) who had earlier besieged the Obasanjo’s Hilltop mansion as early as 6:00 a.m in anticipation of president Jonathan’s arrival also left the place at exactly 3:10 p.m when it became obvious that Jonathan was not coming to Obasanjo’s house.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jonathan however, arrived the M.K.O Abiola International Stadium in Abeokuta at exactly 3:50 p.m and headed straight to the state box from where he later moved out to acknowledge cheers from the crowd who had thronged the stadium venue of the campaign as early as 7:30 a.m.</div>
