Junaid Mohammed, elder statesman and Second Republic federal lawmaker on Monday said Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo is not qualified to dictate to Nigerians which zone should produce the Presidency in 2023.
It will be recalled that Adebanjo, in recent interviews has advocated for an Igbo presidency in 2023 saying the country cannot claimed to be united if this is not achieved. Adebanjo said for the sake of the country’s unity, an Igbo person should be made president in 2023.
However, speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Junaid said Adebanjo is speaking on his own and not speaking on behalf of Yorubas or other Nigerians.
He said even if the South is allowed to produce the President in 2023, it must go to the South-West.
“ How can somebody who is over 90 years old will be telling young Nigerians how to vote and who to vote for. During their time, why didn’t they have that system and why didn’t they vote like that?
“Who is denying Igbos the Presidency? Afenifere’s statement is irresponsible and mischief. Which Afenifere are we talking about because there are several factions of them?” “Ayo Adebanjo has never been elected as the leader of Afenifere so he cannot speak for the group. The leader of Afenifere is Chief Reuben Fasoranti. So, on whose behalf is Ayo Adebanjo speaking? How many times has he won election in his constituency? Who does he represent?”
“There is another joker they now called the leader of the Yorubas, the successor to Awolowo, Professor Banji Akintoye. Who does he represent? Is he representing the Yoruba race? Have you seen anybody talking about the Yoruba race and they mention the name of Banji Akintoye?”.
“Even if he is the leader of the Yorubas, will he just go and tell the Yorubas vote this or vote that? If you go to a newspaper and publish your pictures, that doesn’t make you a leader of the Yoruba race”.

This is what we keep telling SE and SS folks. Even Northerns hawks agree it must be SW if the North cannot retain the Presidency in 2023. The North does not and will not trust the Igbos for a long time to come. No wahala with SS but GEJ was there for 5 years directly before PMB so the region cannot be allowed back to do what is a possible 8 years to add to 5 equalling 13 years out of 21. imposificant. Nigeria will have a SW President in 2023. Igbos won't like to hear that but this is the reality and the North will make it happen because the Yorubas are the allies they know they can completely rely on by proxy if they themselves cannot be in power.

Keep dreaming upon dreams.
All the loads of insult na only that one you read.
This looks like masters who hired labourers reprimanding his slaves.
More like the early days of Arab slavery.
This is why you guys should not comment on Yoruba affairs. You are too emotional and always looking for ways to insult and denigrate others. Not a fan of Mohammed but nothing he says that we Yorubas do not say worse in regard to Afenifere and other Yoruba groups that have now rendered themselves impotent and disdained because they wake up daily terribly envious of Tinubu and obsessing over how to thwart and emasculate Jagaban.
Sadly, Tinubu has real political power and clout while these clowns do not so Junaid Mohammed is correct mocking Afenifere and "Yoruba leader" Akintoye many have not heard of until some mushroom group conducted a bogus election yesterday all for the sake of disenfranchising the influence of Tinubu over the Yorubas and aligning us under the PDP.
Mohammed may not like Jagaban but he respects him as a man of influence and excellent politician who has worked hard to be where he is in life. Mohammed , like many other, cannot have an iota of respect for Akintoye because the first question has to be "what has he done for Yorubas?". We all know what Tinubu, like or hate him, has done. Tinubu's credentials are not questionable at all.

Till 2023.
If not that you Igbos are unrepentant liars who live to try and discredit the Yorubas, can you deny contributing to the thread below highlighting Akintoye's emergence as Yoruba leader and the insulting comments of Yorubas themselves such as those highlighted below? Like I asked you before, what is Mohammed saying we have not said ourselves and worse? You were even disgraced on that thread. Yet you guys never learn.
