OSOGBO—The Elders’ Council (Igbimo Agba) of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State has described last minute efforts by President Goodluck Jonathan to influence Yoruba to support his re-election efforts through monetary inducement as too little too late.

Clutching a photograph of President Goodluck Jonathan, the female spiritual head of Gbaramatu kingdom, Mama Ebolomorbo-Ere, joined by all white dressed aged women, stood in front of the Ijaw deity to pray for his victory. The chief priest thereafter sanctified the prayers with a native chalk. It was declared shortly after that Jonathan’s electoral victory was secured and rumbles of celebration and dances followed, as Amasiekumor, the chief priest, Tompolo and others entered into the white tent for a special session. Canon shots were later released and the departure of Amasiekumor was announced.

AJIMOBI’s political cum media spokesman should be pitied because he has turned his professional position to that of a glorified praise singer and lately a court jester blessed with the obsession to fabricate lies all in the name of providing service for his paymaster and seeking public attention.
