Afenifere has finally owned up to its fascist propensities when, at its recent meeting, it showcased its leadership now including Jelili Adesiyan and Musiliu Obanikoro, the point-men in the militarization and manipulation of elections in Ekiti and Osun States and coordinators of the deployment of hooded terrorists and mercenaries to lay siege on Yorubaland. This was at the meeting where its response and opposition to INEC’s deployment of more polling centers were addressed. Afenifere regarded this move by INEC as a ploy to rig elections in favor of the North. By this public association, Afenifere is telling us that it has thumped up its noses at Yoruba people telling us it has come to stay as a fascist organization, ready and willing tools in ensuring Yorubaland’s enforced acquiescence to the attempt at subjecting us to a self-neutralizing agenda foreign to our political trajectory.
This meeting commended Goodluck Jonathan for convoking the National Conference and urged him to ensure complete implementation of the Conference resolutions and put in place True Federalism as a system of government in the country. According to the group, “We want the president to ensure that the country practices True Federalism, let him make this as a centenary legacy for which he will be remembered as Nigeria is today remembering Lord Lugard for amalgamation”. It concluded by commending “ Yoruba delegates to the conference led by Chief Olu Falae, saying they were able to adequately present the position of the region at the conference.”
As fascists are wont to do, conscious contradictory statements is their forte; for what the Conference recommended, of which Afenifere played a major part and the True Federalism it is asking Jonathan to ensure are light years apart. There cannot be True Federalism without Resource Control and Derivation just as carving up Nigeria into 54 states and declaring them “federated” is not True Federalism but an enforced union when a non-existing entity is already assumed to be federated with another.
It needs to be reiterated that before the Conference, Afenifere held a meeting in Isara where it was resolved to continue with the current status quo, with minor adjustments. It took another meeting of Yoruba activists in Ibadan to restate True Federalism as the Yoruba Position while during the conference itself, Segun Mimiko, Afenifere’s arrowhead and Ondo State Governor, was busy telling whoever cared to listen that “we should accept whatever it is that the conference offered”.
Chief Falae now being commended, was a signatory to the Calabar “southern summit” communique wherein True Federalism was proposed, but which disappeared as a major outcome of the Conference only for them to turn round and start blaming the North as if this would be the first time the north would so object; especially when the same north had been telling everyone, before the conference and as at the time the “southern summit” was making its case, that it objects to True Federalism, however defined. Making the north the culprit is therefore an afterthought as well as a non-issue.
Chief Osoba was at the Conference where his first statement was on saying that he did not come to the conference as a Yoruba but as a Nigerian and cooperated in de-Federalizing Nigeria only for him to come around at the Afenifere meeting to tout the same Yorubanness and Federalism he had abandoned when it mattered.
These Afenifere leaders were part of the Conference decisions that made provision for INEC as the sole electoral umpire in Nigeria, accepting the removal of State Electoral Commissions and promoted the notion of a pan-Nigerian referendum, which of course would be conducted by the same INEC, when on issues of Federalism, it is only those affected that vote in such a Referendum.
After all of these, the same Afenifere now turns around and asked Jonathan to ensure True Federalism in Nigeria. Obviously, Afenifere sees political one-upmanship in all of its activities, otherwise it would not stoop so low to insult our intelligence by now claiming to promote what it had rejected at the conference while at the same time ensuring the emergence in its leadership those characters who spared no effort in trying to negate whatever electoral choices the Yoruba were to make, riding on the coattails of Goodluck Jonathan.
The Conference and all of Afenifere’s politics were aimed at checkmating Asiwaju Tinubu and his political platform, which made Afenifere enter into an unholy alliance with the Jonathan forces which had also neutralized the Obasanjo faction of the PDP in Yorubaland. Now that the proverbial north is outsmarting them, they want to once again gain reckoning in Yorubaland.
Yet, if their aim as well as Jonathan their sponsor’s aim was really to fight the northern penchant for power, all that Jonathan and his coalition needed to do was to leave the post-2011 political map intact; that is, the ACN would retain its dominance in the West, the CPC would have its own northern base while the faction of APGA that wants to remain outside Jonathan’s orbit would be left to sort itself out. The implication of this is that there would be less necessity for the merger that produced APC, at best we will have a coalition of sorts by 2015 which would make restructuring easier as the “north” would have its political space restricted. In the run up to the 2015 elections, Afenifere now wants to proclaim its relevance in Yorubaland when its fascist outing in 2014 has already sealed its fate as a relevant organization in Yorubaland.
Yoruba and non-Yoruba people in the state of Osun, through their August 9 superlative refusal to be intimidated, showed these Afenifere fascists that all of their official powers were not enough to impose themselves on the Yoruba Nation, and have, through this means, expressed their vote of no confidence on Afenifere and its political trajectory. For, were it not for the resilience of the people and capability of APC leadership, the Osun election would have been very different and these characters now lamenting about possible INEC rigging would have been patting themselves on the back for a job well done. Fascism, which was violently resisted in 1964/65, would have found its way into power in Yorubaland, courtesy of Afenifere.

The people of the State of Osun has shown how to prevent any rigging of elections, and just as the saying goes, eternal vigilance being the price of liberty has made it mandatory for the Yoruba to ensure that Afenifere’s fascism is thrown into the dustbin of history in 2015 elections in Oyo, Lagos and Ogun States which will formally signal the permanent end of that organization, having lost its historical usefulness in turning to its opposite as the perpetrator of fascist politics in Yorubaland. The good people of Osun and the vigilant APC leadership did not have to rely on official diktats or mercenaries in order to beat the rigging machinery put in place by these Afenifere fascists such that were INEC to try to rig future elections in favor of whoever, a template of resistance has already been provided by the Osun example hence “ooduapathfinder” is of the view that Afenifere having lost any claims to leadership in Yorubaland by its negation of True Federalism when it mattered, is no longer relevant in our politics, except as enablers of external aggression and domination.
Thus, when there is talk of unity as a manifestation of Yoruba Civil war experience and the attendant Kiriji armistice, the anniversary of which is coming up on September 23, the Yoruba Nation should be mindful of the fact that unity is not an abstraction; we cannot unite simply because we are Yoruba; we can only unite on the basis of a shared vision on Yorubaland, which is anchored on True Federalism and social democracy and which Afenifere fascists have gone all out to destroy.
The Yoruba Nation must also be mindful of the limitations embedded in the proverbial saying to the effect that many paths may lead to the same destination; for such a saying is dependent on whether we have the same destination in mind or not. Fascism and Social Democracy are two different roads to two different destinations.

Good write up I will try to spread it to all social media's to awake oduduwa born also we know they are tactics afenifere full of deceitful
