We Regret Voting General Buhari As President : Yoruba Elders by harryz1000: 12:20pm On Jun 30, 2015 |
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 argued that the National Assembly leadership election has given the impression that their region is weak politically. READ ALSO: Opinion: Like The Phoenix, Tinubu Will Rise Again 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.

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. www.naij.com/473550-we-regret-voting-buhari-yoruba-elders.html |

[size=15pt]When it comes to BIAFRA, the Yorubas are the WORST hypocrites. They bitterly hate the Igbos and indeed the southern minorities and would want them to leave Lagos etc and go stay in their own country! But in contradiction to their true feelings, they don't want Biafra because they want to perpetuate their right to collect the lion share of the oil resources sourced from the same peoples land, using the bogus criteria they foisted on the country called Nigeria. Without oil in Igboland and Southern minorities part of Nigeria, Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani would have long seceded from Nigeria. FACT! [/size] |
