Some South-West leaders are
currently biting their fingers in regret
over voting President Muhammadu
Buhari into office.

buhariThe zone is particularly angry with
the President, who is the leader of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, for
tolerating the outcome of National
Assembly leadership election, which
did not favour the region.

Buhari’s silence according to them is a
serious indication that the zone, which
queued behind him to ensure victory
at the recent polls, may benefit little or
nothing from the administration.
“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 leaders.
They argued that the National
Assembly leadership election, which
eventually placed the North Central
geopolitical zone as a powerful force in
the country’s power equation through
the emergence of former Kwara
governor, Bukola Saraki, as Senate
President and Yakubu Dogara from the
North-East, has depicted the South-
West as not only a weak power bloc in
the equation.
With the power structure now,
the South-West as a region has been
relegated to the background in the
power structure of the country.
Some of the leaders of the region who
also participated in the last National
Conference argue that since the South-
West does not hold any substantial
position in the current power structure,
the region must re-strategise to assert
itself in the politics of the nation.
They further argued that the position
of Vice President, which is presently
held by a south westerner, does not
place the region as a powerful force.
While referring to one of the speeches
made by former President Goodluck
Jonathan during the campaigns leading
up to the 2015 general elections,
National Coordinator of Coalition
of Democrats for Electoral Reform,
CODER, Chief Ayo Opadokun, a
South-West leader, who spoke to the
Nigerian Pilot Sunday on the current
power imbalance, noted that the
Yoruba race made a great mistake by
not re-electing the former President,
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.
