*says, enough of the campaign of calumny.
By; BAYO AKAMO, Ibadan
A social political group, the Southern Frontiers, (SF) on Sunday cautioned against alleged plans to disparage a former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan.
SF in a statement made available to the press in Ibadan, signed by its, Secretary, Mr Kolawole Bamitale after its emergency meeting, warned all political campaigners to be wary of their utterances,verified and sanctioned to be falsifiable before bringing it to the public glare.
” Politics is the most flagrant of all passion. We can’t just sit down and watch helplessly anybody or group of people to cast aspersion on former President Jonathan under the veil of fatuous political analysis. It will amount to a logical fallacy to be scoring an aspirant low or trying to besmirch his or her image before the unsuspecting public”, it said.
SF added, ” Its quite incongruous that Mr Peterside Atedo has been trying to cast aspersion on the former president by saying ” Jonathan’s approval rating has declined to 26 per cent from 54% which it was in 2015 and was currently below 5%” according to an imaginary poll. Such mendacious claim should be discountenanced by the public for lack of credible source” .
The group maintained that, ” its quite revisiting that conversely, Jonathan’s public rating is soaring high by the day and the clarion calls by the people that he should come back to put the economy on the mends,implement the National Industrial policy plans, find permanent solutions to insecurity, carry out the recommendations of Idris Kutigi led National Conference and return Nigeria to the investment hub in Africa etc have been recently re echoed by the people across different parts of the country “
SF then called on the former President not to be swayed by what George Orwell refers as “the language of politics ” and for the interest of the common masses accepts to come back to rescue Nigeria.
