President Muhammau Buhari may have lost
the support of some Yoruba elders less
than 100 days into his tenure.
The leaders are particularly angry with Buhari
over the recently concluded National Assembly
elections, which they feel was a big blow to the
South west.

They berated the president for his silence and
suggested that their region might not benefit
from the Buhari administration despite voting
massively for the president during the April 2015
presidential polls.
“For the fact that the South-West played a key
role in the emergence of Buhari as the President,
it is expected that they would occupy a more
strategic position than the post of vice president”,
said one of the elders.
They argued that the National Assembly
leadership election has given the impression that
their region is weak politically.

Some of the leaders who also participated in the
last National Conference also say the region must
re-strategise to assert itself in the politics of the
nation.
They argued that the position of Professor Yemi
Osinbanjo, the current vice president, who is a
South west indigene is not a powerful position.
Chief Ayo Opadokun, a South-West leader, who
spoke to the Nigerian Pilot yesterday on the
current power imbalance, noted that the Yoruba
race made a great mistake by not re-electing
former president Goodluck Jonathan, considering
what he had in stock for the zone.

He emphasised that the implementation of the
National Conference report would elevate the
standard of the zone, which is the reason people
of the South-West should have queued behind
Jonathan.
Also speaking on the issue, image maker of Pro-
National Conference, Wale Okunniyi, faulted the
emergence of Saraki and Dogara, which he
described as a conspiracy against the Yoruba
nation by some powerful forces in the APC.
Another prominent South-West leader and
lawyer, Asiwaju Bisi Adegbuyi, focused on how
the Yoruba race can move forward saying, the
region needs self-determination rather than a
symbolic representation.
“Yoruba race should know what they want.
Yoruba made progress when Chief Obafemi
Awolowo led us”, he said.
It will be recalled that during the electioneering
period, the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential
Campaign Organisation warned the leaders of the
All Progressives Congress to stop insulting
Yoruba Obas.
