We Never Endorsed Mutu for 8th Term — Patani APC Stalwart, Ebideseighabofa ~ Truth Reporters

 

An All Progressives Congress ( APC) stalwart in Patani Local Government Area, Dr Ebidiseighabofa Orodu, has denounced the recent purported endorsement of Hon Nicholas Mutu for an unprecedented 8th term in office by Patani people as aired on ARISE TV News, describing the perpetrators as "political charlatans".

Dr Orodu, stated that such misguided claims do not reflect the broader public mood, prevailing grassroots sentiment, or the realities currently being expressed across the Bomadi/Patani Federal Constituency.

In a statement titled "PUBLIC CLARIFICATION ON RECENT CLAIMS OF ENDORSEMENT OF NICHOLAS MUTU BY SOME CHARLATANS FROM PATANI LGA AS AIRED ON ARISE TV", the Patani APC stalwart reiterated that "many stakeholders, youths , opinion leaders and concerned citizens within Patani and beyond , have consistently advocated for fairness , equity and inclusive democratic participation ahead of the 2027 elections . The growing call for leadership renewal and rotational representation cannot therefore be reduced to the views or political positions of a few individuals appearing in the media".

The Patani APC stalwart , further lending credibility concerns over the ARISE TV News broadcast of the illegal endorsement , wondered why the self acclaimed political jobbers did their so called "endorsement" of Hon Nicholas Mutu , at Ughelli , instead of at Patani , an action he described as "clear evidence that these people are political charlatans without home support".
