Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum has described President Goodluck Jonathan’s New Year’s message as deceptive, insolent and condemnable.
In a statement signed by the forum’s Secretary General, Akin Malaolu, the body frowned on the preparation of the broadcast by Jonathan and his aides, stating that they could not give mature thoughts of hope as New Year’s message to Nigerians.
“We regret to say that the president’s address was condemnable, insolent to victims of insurgency and a complete ruse. It is now obvious that actions that border on intimidation and chiefly for selfish reasons and for the sole desire to rig self back to power in 2015 are going to be adopted.
“It should be clearly stated, however, that the several pronouncements by the president to act against hate speeches, sectionalism, abuses and inciting statements are a ruse that cannot remove the desires of our helpless millions of people who are desirous of change in government,” the group stated.
Malaolu said the president’s statement connoted that there would be “preventive detection” of political opponents and leaders, arrest without warrant or just cause, detentions without lawful orders, wanton police brutality, terror and torture.

The APC has been consistent in saying that the PDPhas ruled Nigeria for 16 disastrous years in whichcorruption, impunity, insurgency, armed robbery andseveral ills of society held sway, but at a very closelook at the APC, I am seeingAmaechi - 8yrs speaker; 7yrs governor under PDP,Atiku - 8yrs Vice president under PDP,Akume - 8yrs governor under PDP,Bukola Saraki - 8yrs governor; 2yrs Senator underPDP,Timipre Sylva -4yrs governor under PDP,Audu Ogbe - 2yrs chairman of PDP,Aminu Masari - 4yrs Reps speaker under PDP,Chris Ngige - 3yrs governor under PDP,Kwankwaso - 7yrs governor,3yrs Defense ministerunder PDP,El rufai - 4yrs FCT minister, 2yrs BPE chairman underPDP...and to cap it all they went to OBJ begging, a manwho spent 8 of the disastrous 16yrs as the maximumruler of Nigeria to come and lead them on a rescuemission.It is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP,where the people who created and perpetuated the "16 Disastrous years" are now dumped. ..pleaseNigerians what is the change in this APC?

APC is a group of desperate politicians who were kicked out of PDP for their desperation to take over power with all means.....they have gone to Gang up with all sort of Characters and co travelers who have the same violent ideology with them to achieve their mission.....but failure awaits them on February.......We know all what is going on....we cant be deceived

Yes the corrupt ones will cry because he is not a weakling like Jonathan. people tend to forget that he is the only one that has seriously fought corruption and disorderliness in this country.
