NNPP Chieftain Clears Air On Eniola Ojajuni Allegations, Refers To Him As A Clown And Unrepentant Terrible Liar.
Following the allegation of Prince Ojajuni Joseph Eniola, the former Ondo State governorship candidate under New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as he alleged that some people in NNPP "took away his N5 million"; Pastor Peter Olagookun Ayodele, the Ondo State Chairman for NNPP, has refuted the allegation, referring to Ojajuni as unrepentant liar who erroneously assume he is smarter than everyone, hence assuming he can always play on people's intelligence with unbelievable lies.
Pastor Peter asserted that, ordinarily he wouldn't have responded to "such a known clown who just thrives in deception" but since he erroneously assume "he can use lie against NNPP to shine, I will have to clarify this issue at this point in my capacity as the Ondo State Chairman of NNPP.
"To start with, no individual or group of persons in NNPP went anywhere with Ojajuni's money, not even N5,000 not to talk of the bogus N5 million he claimed.
"To put the record straight, during the preparation for 2020 Ondo State gubernatorial election, Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba (who was then the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of NNPP) actually brought Eniola Ojajuni to NNPP and pleaded with other National officers to support him and give him consideration to get the Ondo State gubernatorial ticket for the party.
"Funny enough, the Eniola Ojajuni who could not even raise ordinary 12% of the (N1 million) expression of interest form, let alone having anything to pat for the N6 million nomination form, he cannot even reduce his unbelievable lie, he is now claiming that some people in NNPP took away his N5 million. This is the most hilarious lie I have ever heard since that 2020. Where did Ojajuni get N5 million from that he will even claim that some people went away with his money? This is not only funny, but it also says more about his kind of person".
The Ondo State NNPP Chairman thus explained that "it's so funny to hear that a man who could not even afford to pay for gubernatorial nomination and expression of interest form, neither did he print even one paper poster for his gubernatorial election, is deceiving himself that they took his N5 million. Yet it was our former Deputy National Publicity Secretary, in person of Rev Emmanuel Olorunmagba, that surety and stood for him to be given the expression of interest and nomination form on credit. Though the then acting National Chairman in person of Major Agbo, insisted that if Eniola Ojajuni must be given forms on credit, he (Ojajuni) should show commitment by paying at least the N1 million for the expression of interest form, then he would be given the main nomination form on credit. Yet he couldn't still raise that. It was only N110,000 he could raise and even he couldn't even raise it once. He had to pay the N110,000 in two instalments. Rev Emmanuel Olorunmagba who was the person that brought him to NNPP still intervened and pleaded until the party had to give him both forms without he being able to pay additional money more than the N110,000 he earlier paid.
"When he was eventually allowed for the gubernatorial primary election, that he was to contest unopposed, he gave fake promises that he was to take care of the payment for the venue, refreshments for party delegates and transportation fare. But he failed to fulfill all the promises, putting the party primary in disarray.
"Our then South West Vice Chairman in person of Comrade Tunde Oke had to travel all the way from Abuja, lodged in hotel, handled all his personal expenses to ensure the gubernatorial primary supervised by INEC was successful.
"The gubernatorial primary election that was to hold at Jen's Hotel, along Fiwasaye road in Akure, Ondo State couldn't start because Ojajuni who promised to pay for the venue was nowhere to be found neither did he make any payment for the venue as at the time the primary was to start. It was one of our party leaders that had to make payment for a smaller hall that we eventually used for the gubernatorial primary election, yet Ojajuni was the only gubernatorial aspirant for the primary.
"Funny enough he was so shameless that after the small hall was paid for by another person he (Eniola Ojajuni) showed up and pleaded to be allowed to take part in the primary. Adding that the money he had would not be enough to take care of the delegates and still pay for the hall, promising to take proper care of the delegates after the primary election and provide their transport fare. He also pleaded that he was going to run a robust campaign that would make the party proud, adding that those who want to support him promised that once he gets the party gubernatorial ticket they will rally round him for the campaign. This happened to be another of the several lies of Ojajuni.
"Though sounding hilarious in view of his previous fake promises, but due to the plea of Rev Emmanuel who brought him, he (Ojajuni) was allowed for the primary, and the party still gave him the ticket. Though he (Rev Emmanuel) was in his office at the National Headquarters of the party in Abuja during the primary, but he was constantly on phone intervening at every point and kept pleading on his behalf that he should still be given benefits of doubt despite his several fake promises that he couldn't keep to any.
"Sincerely yours, nobody will ever believe that the same Eniola Ojajuni can be so ungrateful that he will ever lie on NNPP and even later insulted and lied on the same Rev Emmanuel Olorunmagba, who is far way older than him and who went out of his way to ensure Eniola got his first ever gubernatorial ticket to ever contest an election. But that says volume of his kind of person. Because thorough breed Yoruba youths are known for their respect for elders and they are not ingrates.
Pastor Peter explained that even Eniola Ojajuni's promise to take care of the delegates and pay their transport fare was another deception as it ended up another fake promise as usual. As immediately the primary election was concluded, Eniola quickly left the hall with his wife and baby that he came with, quickly took a public taxi and the taxi zoomed off and he switched off his phones so that nobody could reach him. Leaving the delegates stranded.
The cleric who is the Ondo State Chairman of NNPP stressed further that, "when we traced him (Eniola) to the hotel where he lodged, he had checked out and was told that he said he was returning to Lagos State. We had to contribute money among ourselves to provide refreshments for the delegates and to give transport fare to those who had no transport fare to return.
"Despite all that, we still allowed Peju Eniola Joseph Ojajuni to still go on as the flag bearer of the party under my leadership as the Ondo State Chairman of the New People's Party (NNPP).
"Yet, all of what he said that some people were ready to support his campaign were lie and his usual manipulative deception as he couldn't print even one physical poster to paste anywhere in the entire Ondo State. Apart from e-posters he designed and was circulating on his Facebook.
"The only serious publicity for Eniola's election was the personal support from Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba who from his own personal account sponsored the news of his (Eniola's) emergence as NNPP gubernatorial candidate on two major national newspapers and he (Rev Emmanuel) also got some bloggers to also carry the news and circulated it.
"In conclusion the claim by Prince Eniola Joseph Ojajuni (PEJU) that some people in NNPP went away with his so called N5 million when he contested as NNPP gubernatorial candidate is false, it is his usual deception and malicious against the party, and he might have to explain that before the court of law as time goes. Enough is enough for his lies on the party of which I am the state Chairman on Ondo State", he concluded.
When Comrade Tunde Oke who was the NNPP South West Vice Chairman then was contacted, he said, Prince Eniola Joseph Ojajuni is a known liar and a jester that anyone who knows cannot take seriously for anything. Where will he even get N5 million before he will even claim that they took from him? "That's another usual lie. I don't really have his time, I heard that he is now in Labour Party and looking for Labour Party gubernatorial ticket for 2024 Ondo State election, if any political party will give him (Eniola Ojajuni) gubernatorial ticket for this coming election that will be the worst mistake of such party. There are so many things to say, but sorry I don't have time for the issues relating to such individual", he concluded.
On his part, Rev Emmanuel Olorunmagba simply said, "I am too busy to have Ojajuni Eniola's time. He should continue with his jokes. If after bringing him to NNPP in 2020, when I was the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, that I went extra mile along with Comrade Tunde Oke to ensure he (Eniola) got NNPP Ondo State governorship ticket same year, despite that he had no money for it, that all he could raise was just N110k out of the N7 million for the tickets, and I gave him media coverage on two newspapers and used 16 bloggers to blow the news of his emergence then. Which the national newspapers and blogger were sponsored from my personal account, the same Eniola Ojajuni could turn back to lie on NNPP and some of the officials who gave him ticket.
"Is he contesting for the award of the worst liar? And in addition to his lie on the party, he (Eniola Ojajuni) could later insult me using vulgar languages like motor park boys (agbero), then it shows where he belongs. And his deeds will find him out, as it's already on.
"In fact, the issue of how he played on the intelligence of some bloggers I engaged for him, when he claimed he was the national president of Afenifere National Youth Council (ANYC) might soon be visited by those bloggers, because I will no longer appeal to them to give him time to make amends, as it's obvious that he erroneously assume he can play on the intelligence of anyone or any group of persons and go with it, assuming that to be smartness", he concluded.
