Forum for Good Governance on Thursday, condemned the candidate for the Action Congress of Nigeria in the October 20 Ondo State governorship election, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, for allegedly “launching unnecessary attack” on President Goodluck Jonathan.

The group, in a statement, alleged that Akeredolu, in a piece entitled ‘Let the President Concentrate on Governance’ published by a national daily, castigated the President for his endorsement of the outcome of the Ondo governorship poll in October.

The statement by the Secretary of the Abuja-based group, Alhaji Mohammed Kabiru, said, “The acerbic attacks launched on Mr. President by the defeated candidate for the ACN were true to type.

“As everyone knows, obsessed criticism of the Presidency while glossing over the moral questions constantly plaguing its leadership is a stock in trade of the ACN.

“In this process the party emphatically rejected by the good people of Ondo State on October 20 has always sacrificed the truth, fairness and objectivity because of its delusional empire drive.”
