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.

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.

[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]
