Former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, says that some people who protested against the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan and criticized him as “clueless” are now holding key positions in government. He made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, responding to ongoing criticisms about Jonathan’s time in office.
Both outlets report that Oritsejafor argues the same individuals who were prominent in opposing Jonathan are now part of the current power structure. Vanguard also frames his comment as highlighting the shift of former protest supporters into government roles, while Information Nigeria includes his claim that their actions have caused further harm to the country. Neither outlet provides specific names, offices, or evidence of the individuals he refers to.
The statements are presented as Oritsejafor’s perspective on political developments following the Jonathan administration, rather than as a documented assessment of specific officials or policy outcomes.
