Ogbia Political Forum (OPF) an association has risen to the defence of former President Jonathan over criticisms of the stunning revelations about the APC-led international conspiracies that ousted the former leader from power led by the United States under ex-President Obama.
There have been mounting criticisms from the members of Nigeria's ruling party and the Peoples' Democratic Party who Dr Jonathan mentioned that took part on the ill-conceived plot in Jonathan’s interview in a new book entitled ‘Against the Run of Play’ by This Day editorial board chairman, Mr. Segun Adeniyi.
In reaction to the cricisms, the President of Ogbia Political Forum (OPF), Chief Azibaodusi, in a statement descended heavily on Jonathan's critics and voice their support for the stunning revelations made by Jonathan many local and international forces that took an unusual interest in the last elections that forcefully removed Jonathan from power.
Daily Globe Watch recalls shortly after the election, Muhammadu Buhari while receiving a certain European envoy thanked the international community for the roles they played in the 2015 federal elections in Nigeria which confirmed Jonathan claims and explanation.
OPF president, therefore, urged Jonathan of their support and urged him to be fearless. He further told him to expose the evil machinations while also pointing out the ill-conceived plan to downplay the invaluable sacrifice made by the former president for the survival of democracy in Nigeria.
Below is a copy of the full statement which is in possession of Daily Globe Watch:
“Our attention has been drawn to excerpts from Segun Adeniyi’s new book entitled ‘Against the Run of Play’ as published by some media agencies, especially with the widespread reactions and comments from a section of the public.
“While we do not have the full details of the interview with former President Goodluck Jonathan which formed part of the book, we are at least delighted that the ex-President is finally coming out with the details of what transpired in the build up, during and immediately after the 2015 general elections. We are aware that some people are already dismissive of the interview, pretending to be roiled by what they describe as an attempt by Jonathan to clean up his image.
“Such people would prefer that Jonathan remains silent while the forces of evil continue to heap odium on his image and public records, despite all he did to preserve our democratic institutions and ensure that peace reigns in our dear fatherland. We however do not find anything new in what has come out so far from the book, as all that Jonathan was quoted to have said pertaining to national and international conspiracy against him during the 2015 elections, were well known to all and sundry then, and has continued to remain in the public domain.”
“This same group of people are now savagely criticising the former President for the mere mention of the fact that Americans and few other world powers took unusual interest in the 2015 elections, in the bid to frustrate his re-election bid.
“If anything, the former President had merely reaffirmed the obvious, as it is no secret that his signing of the anti-gay bill into law brought down the full weight of the Barack Obama administration on the Jonathan Government, with the intention of forcing a regime change.
“Our own position is that the former President had kept quiet for too long. He should no longer continue to sacrifice his God-given right to free speech, just because some people in certain quarters are still baying for his blood for reasons best known to them. It is our conviction that ex-President Jonathan needs to speak more forcefully and frequently in defence of his legacies, otherwise the loud voice of his enemies will constitute the false narrative that may go down in history in his name.”
