#NigeriaDecides: How Nigerian Witches & Wizards Endorsement Caused Jonathan’s Defeat
March 31st, 2015 – #NigeriaDecides: How Nigerian Witches & Wizards Endorsement Contributed To Jonathan’s Defeat
It was just like yesterday when the association of witches and wizards of Nigeria, WITZAN endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for 2nd term in office. If you missed the report, read it here
As controversial as the endorsement is, President Goodluck Jonathan didn’t dissociate himself from the group.
Days after the endorsement, the group took to the media again to reinstate their support for GEJ yet he didn’t denounce the spiritual attachment.
The controversial endorsement soon reached Christians across Nigeria leaving many of them in doubt as to who their President is.
Rumour soon hit the media that President Goodluck Jonathan is an occultist and that his wife used her fertility to bring goodluck to him, yet the Oga on top didn’t denounce it.
Since then, the occultic stigma has stayed in the mind of most Christians in the South West and Northern Nigeria with many promising to rather vote a Muslim to power instead of having a leader that is associating himself with the occult world.
The moral of the story.
Ladies and gentlemen, whenever someone is spreading rumour about you, please quickly distance yourself from it. It has a way of damaging one’s reputation.
Other factors that contributed to GEJ’s failure include:
(1) Card reader prevented rigging plan:
In 2011 the vote was considered to be better run but observers said that rigging and fraud still took place.
This time the electoral commission took more steps to prevent rigging, including new biometric voters cards.
(2) Insurgency
GEJ didn’t convince Nigerians that he is capable of handling Boko Haram militant group so many Nigerian dumped him for a retired military man who has better security experience.
(3) Obasanjo’s exit from crumbling PDP
Jonathan’s fall out with Obasanjo forced him out of PDP and that contributed to him losing massively in the South West. Apart from Ekiti state where the election was allegedly rigged with the help of Fayose, Jonathan lost woefully in Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun and Lagos.
(4) Crumbling Economy & Devaluation Of Naira
Jonathan was blamed for the devaluation of Naira that affected the economy of Nigeria adversely and Nigerians didn’t see it as a reason to re-elect Jonathan.
(5) People are tired of PDP
The ruling party has been in power since 1999 and this year, Nigerians unite to try something new.
(6) First Lady Patience Jonathan & Her Blunder
Grammatical blunders is forgivable to Nigerians but insulting their elders didn’t go well with some of them especially in the South West.
Mama Peace caused more harm than good to Jonathan with her wrong choice of words during political campaign.
At a time she called her husband a Messiah, most Christian in Nigeria see this as blasphemy.
Buhari will have to prove himself as the man of change he campaigned to be.

His dumb advisers like FFK, Okupe and the rest caused most of these mistakes that could have been corrected. For the future, tell him to brush up his educated illiterate wife

We give glory to God. Thank God for this opportunity. Uncle Jona, you went to Redeem, Winners chapel, Olumbaolumba, the traditional obas , witches and wizards, and you called your self a Christian. GEJ, you can not serve God and mammoth, God is a jealous God.its like the true spirit of God has departed from you, you spent so much money to buy people to vote for you. You were doing things you did not do or plan to do in your six years, am sure you are highly disappointed, that is life oh cos there is Gid oh all the blood you and your wife are shearing. GEJ. I will encourage you to give your life to Christ, there is no other way, nobody can safe you neither could anybody help except baba God. Your wife needs to apologise to the family of GMB, Mama wahala and not peace, her mouth had diarrhoea she called, somebody’s husband, father , grandfather, uncle brainless. I bet by the time Patience reach GMB,s age there will be no teeth in her mouth and she would probably be walking with 2 sticks by the time she is 60 yrs of age. I believe you have learnt the lesson of your life that God is great, he disappointed you and your accomplices. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Where is FFK now? What of that bastard from Ekiti, ile mo Ba nyin. You are not supposed to disrespect your elders.
You people took politics as if its a thing of do or die.
WHERE ARE YOU FANi oLE, FANI IJOGBON.
What of that tout that called himself GOvenor of EKItI. You all need to apologise to GMB, his family and Nigerians.
They tried all they could to tarnish and prevent GMB but guess what “THE WILL OF GOD” must be done.
FANi Kayode has probably gone into hiding. Kudos to Obanikoro and OKupe.
