Below is a more detailed report by James Sowole.
The Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Niger Delta and
Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Kingsley Kuku, has
said that the workload of the amnesty scheme given to him by the
President would not allow him to play any politics in his home state,
Ondo, in 2015.
Kuku’s clarification came against the backdrop of a report that he was
interested in running for the senatorial seat of the Ondo South in
2015.
The Presidential aide made the remark in Ondo Town while speaking withE
journalists after he was honoured as a Fellow of Adeyemi College of
Education, Ondo, during the celebration of the college’s 32ndE
convocation ceremony.
He said: “I read a report in the newspapers where it was analyzed that
I am one of the top contenders for the senatorial seat of Ondo South
in 2015. Though I hail from Arogbo in Ese-Odo council of the state,
one of the council areas that make up Ondo South senatorial district,
I say boldly before you today that I have no plan to contest any
elective position.
“The national assignment given to me by my boss, President Goodluck
Jonathan, in the Amnesty office is more important than any elective
position and I cannot afford to fail on the job.”
He said the success of the Amnesty Programme is very dear to the heart
of President Jonathan “and so I can’t dump the job to seek any
elective position since the amnesty programme will terminate in 2015
and the President won’t allow me abandoning the boat of success of the
Programme, midway.”
Kuku was one of the four prominent Nigerians that was honoured with
Fellowship of the college when two Graduands Akindele Oluwabukola Yemi
and Adedeji Olubunmi won President Jonathan’s awards for Best English
students.
The duo received N200,000 each from Kuku who sponsored the award in
the name of his boss.
Kuku, an Ese-Odo Local government in Ondo State indigene was conferred
with an award of Educational Development and Community Service by the
Management of the Institution
Presenting the award to the Graduands at the Ceremony the Provost of
the College, Prof. Idowu Adeyemi, said the Presidency’s Awards will
now be given on every Convocation Ceremony for Best English Students.
He added that the awards would encourage students to be more focus in
their academics activities, rather than embracing social vices.
