Another clueless yoruba "leader".

Why we dont have any more, leaders like sophisticated obafemi awolowo, like Abraham adesanya, like bola ige, like jakande, etc.

I always wonder.

Todays "leaders" are just doing politics for politics purpose. A lot of noise making without achieving anything tangible.

Hello Juman,

Have you been to Osun recently? Have you seen the projects he has started and finished? Have you seen the heights he has achieved? No other "Yoruba Leader" has done all he has achieved?

If i may ask, why do you call him a clueless yoruba leader?

He has done more than enough in the Educational Sector, Infrastructures, Job Creation, Agriculture. These are the few i can remember right now. I'm not from Osun State and i don't have any personal interest in this. I just stand for what is right and the man has been very good.
