POLITICAL ALLIES AND RECURRENT SCAMS
On Saturday, 16th of july 2022, The AJAFETO YOUTH FORUM OF NIGERIA held her launching at the Akinyele LG Award Hall, Moniya Ibadan. The launching was attended by dignitaries across political parties, Governmental and Non- Governmental agencies. As glamorous as the event was, some individuals who were known to be the AKINYELE/LAGELU FED CONSTITUENCY CANDIDATE Political Allies took fraudulent steps while trying to soil the name of the forum and put the forum in disarray. During the launching, The said federal rep’s agents promised the forum a sum of #50,000 openly only to immediately go on the social space to make a public statement that the Candidate supported the empowerment program of the forum with the said amount in cash. They further stated that the Candidate paid the said sum at the launching when at the time of this press release a dime had not been paid.
All efforts to get across to the said Federal rep candidate to clear this situation have proved futile as his allies have blocked all channels that can be used to meet him.
We can all recall that in 2020, when the forum supposedly held its National Youth Day Program in November, the then PDP AKINYELE YOUTH LEADER requested for a partnership which was graciously given. He took the opportunity to defraud the forum, deprived them of their benefits and took the glory as his own.
All the realized fund was squandered by him and we decided to let it slide.
Almost 2 years after the said launching, another party stalwart and some other party bigwigs who were part of the last scandal took it upon themselves to propagate such falsehood just for the sake of their pockets and popularity. After series of warnings for them to retract their falsehood, they have remained adamant and hence the basis of our outcry.
Although, this is not their first attempt, but it will be their last. It has become their habit and we should curb it quickly before they become a menace.
We reinforce that AJAFETO YOUTH FORUM OF NIGERIA is a non-partisan, all inclusive and honest forum that will never be involved in activities created to sway the public in any untruthful paths.
We enjoin the public to steer clear of fraudulent individuals as they are not good to have dealings with.
