2015: Boko Haram being masterminded to stop Jonathan —Adeojo •Says Oyo PDP now harmonised

LEADER of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Alhaji Yekini Adeojo, has stated that the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-Eastern part of the country was being masterminded by some political forces to stop President Goodluck Jonathan from contesting in 2015.
Adeojo, who made the disclosure after the Oyo PDP Elders’ Committee, held at the party’s secretariat in Dandaru area, Mokola, Ibadan, while fielding questions from newsmen, also revealed that the party had successfully harmonised its state executive to take care of all interested parties, saying that all the main actors were carried along.
“We have succeeded in harmonising the executive committee in the state and we have taken care of all interests. Jumoke Akinjide was in my house and I have been carrying [Adebayo] Alao-Akala along all the while.
“We have been on the issue of executive harmonisation for close to a year and now, I can say we have succeeded. All the leaders, including Alao-Akala, were carried along and
I was waiting for the signatures of three main players, Senators Hosea Agboola, Teslim Folarin and Honourable Muraina Ajibola, whose executive list had been authenticated by the national leadership of the party.
“I have gotten the signatures of the trio to make sure that they agree with the harmonisation. So, we have settled everything and have put the issue of executives’ harmonisation behind us,” he said.
Adeojo stated that the issue of governorship ambition would not cause problem within the party, noting that everyone would be given a level-playing field.
