A chieftain of Accord Party (AP) in Oyo State, Chief Oyebisi Ilaka, has shed light on the endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan by the chapter.

He said Jonathan had shown commitment to democracy by appointing Prof. Attahiru Jega, widely acclaimed as credible as chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Jega, he said had conducted a successful voter registration.

Ilaka said the President had also demonstrated the capacity for repositioning the economy.

He spoke with reporters in Ogun State.

Ilaka, who is Oyo Central AP senatorial candidate, said unlike Jonathan, Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala has dashed the hope of the people for good governance, predicting that Akala would meet his waterloo at the April general elections.
