Politics as Save Nigeria 'abracadabra' into Dele Momodu for Nigeria *Wole Ekundayo too apprioprated SNG for Action Congress of Nigeria!

For months several Nigerians joined the group Save Nigeria on facebook in the hope that they were part of a broadbase attempt being spearheaded by Prof. Wole Soyinka and Pastor Tunde Bakare to reposition the country and save it from the marauding bands of looters led by the People's Democratic Party and ably supported by other lesser political parties.

Suddenly as politics draws closer, the group changed its name without warning to Dele Momodu for Nigeria. Following complaints, the handlers of the group now revealed to Nigerians that the group they have grown very fond of is not the genuine article afterall. Point blank, it was revealed that Save Nigeria (as it was then known) is different from Save Nigeria group.

The terse statement from group is reproduced below.

"This group, earlier known as Save Nigeria was never the official Facebook page of the Save Nigeria Group. The similarity in name was PURE COINCIDENCE though the ideals of this Facebook group are supportive of that of the Save Nigeria Group (SNG). The Facebook group - Save Nigeria was created long before the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) came into existence. Apologies for any misunderstanding.

Please note that we are one big family fighting for the same cause though sometimes, from different ideological standpoints and perspectives.

Thanks, God bless you and God bless Nigeria!"

But can asomebody please explain to this group that it ought to have provided this explanation months ago since the difference between "Save Nigeria" and "Save Nigeria Group" as names on facebook is like the difference between the "United States" and the "United States of America".

Also it is interesting to notice that despite the denials, the group forgot to change the description on its page from what it was during the action days of the Save Nigeria Group.
It's a movement. It's a call to action. Nigeria must be salvaged. JOIN US today!

Wole Ekundayo too
As clever as the 'Save Nigeria' (now Dele Momodu for Nigeria) team might think it was, the group was actually beaten to the game of 'win members by subterfuge' by another internet maestro, Wole Ekundayo who ealier in the day apprioprated another group, the Save Nigeria Group (now one can no longer be too sure that this also is the genuine article).

He expressly used the plartform to declare unqualified support for the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).

Mr. Ekundayo has however sent another message to all group members. His message is re-produced below:

Compatriots,

Following the Facebook message I signed with my name this morning captioned “PDP – Plunderers and Destroyers of Polity”, I have been inundated with enquiries from far and near. It has therefore become necessary for me to make clarification as follows:

1.) The message represents my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Save Nigeria Group’s (SNG) leaders and members.

2.) SNG has NOT made any official or unofficial announcements supporting a particular candidate for next year's Presidential elections.

3.) I did not say in any part of the message that it reflects the views of SNG’s leaders and members.

4) The message is not meant as an innuendo that SNG has made any official or unofficial announcement supporting a particular candidate for next year’s Presidential elections. At the appropriate time SNG will through its official fan page, amongst other media as it considers appropriate, make official pronouncement regarding endorsement of candidates for the 2011 polls.

Robust debates and divergent opinions are essential ingredients of democracy and I will continue to contribute my quota in all fora aimed at engendering credible elections and true democracy in our great dear mother land.

Nigeria will flourish again!

Wole Ekundayo

There is nothing wrong if any group is willing to change into a political party. What the groups concerned should do however is to be transparent and send a prior alert to members about their intention. That way, those willing to opt out can do so and those willing to stay will know that they have not been hoodwinked into supporting any cause.
