ABEOKUTA - The Aare Ona Kankanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams has accused former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu as anti- restructuring of Nigeria, stressing that he is a businessman in politics with no ideology.

Adams stated this, through Director of Communication, Aare Onakakanfo Strategic Intervention Group (ASIG), Olajide Odumosu, in reaction to Coordinator of Bola Tinubu Disciples Organization (BTDO), Agarawu Wasiu, describing him (Adams), as an ingrate, a traitor and a misfit for the Yoruba race

He declared that, the attack on him by Tinubu’s disciples had done more damage to the reputation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) leader than good, noting that rather than addressing issues raised in the said interview, had decided to go haywire, raining insulting words on his personality

"Having gone through the story, it is obvious that Tinubu's Disciples Organization are nothing but a large group of loose cannons that are ready to mortgage the future of the Yoruba race", Adams said.

Adams raised four issues revolving around the state of the nation and the future of the Yoruba race, emphasizing that Tinubu had no interest in the actualization of Oodua Republic and restructuring.

He pointed out that, Tinubu through Agarawu, had, in the statement, described Yoruba's quest for restructuring as the most taunted, thus justifying his (Adams) stand that Tinubu had no interest on restructuring.

Adams declared that, Tinubu was never a member of any Yoruba socio cultural group, where leaders are properly trained and built with Yoruba ideology and philosophy.

"He was groomed by the late General Shehu Yar'Adua, under Premous group- a political dynasty of the late politician. Tinubu's political background is alien to Yoruba ideology and that his campaign for Presidency, two months after the swearing- in of President Muhammadu Buhari's second term in office was ill-timed and a distraction to the APC government.

"All the issues raised in the said interview were nothing but the truth because they outweighed the response from Agarawu. Tinubu's quest for power is Hitlerish and no sane Yoruba man will like to identify with the former governor of Lagos state. He should name three unique things he had done for the Yoruba race.

“Tinubu had a hand in the breakup of all the socio cultural groups in Yorubaland, Afenifere, OPC, YCE, others. He whittled down the popularity of PRONACO. The OPC under Aare's leadership broke up into groups. He sponsored the renegades in Somolu, Ilorin,and Ibadan. Now those groups have gone under and they are of no relevance at the moment.

“Afenifere had a bitter story to tell about him. The Yoruba socio cultural group had been in existence since 1948, he had infiltrated the group with Afenifere Renewal group. He went to the presidency with another group led by Pa Ayo Fasanmi, saying they are the authentic Afenifere.YCE is presently another victim of Tinubu's political chicanery", he said

He continued, "The new Yoruba World Congress that is just starting are presently feeling the heat of his infiltration, with some of its top member resigning with no genuine reason. Even there was an unconfirmed reports that the Lagos state government slowed down on the implementation of the Amotekun Security outfit because they are waiting for bourdillion's go ahead.

"Even as it is evident that his body language on Amotekun across the southwest is nothing to write home about. All these are evidences against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. While serving his unjust detention in prison, Obasanjo decided to deal with Aare Gani Adams. And one of his reasons then was because of his closeness to Tinubu.

"He was released from detention after fourteen months that was between October 2005 and December 2006. He said Aare was an ingrate. Let him justify this. Has he built a house for Aare Gani Adams? Did he buy a car or sponsor Aare's education? Or did he spend any money for the development of the OPC as organization? When Okiro arrested him in 2001, did he pay for his legal fees?

"Even during the installation ceremony of the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland on January 13, 2018 in Oyo, did he contribute financially or send any representative? He didn't.These are questions begging for answers.

"In 2007 when Aare Gani Adams launched his book "Leadership challenge" at Museum Centre, Honourable Tunde Balogun, Tinubu's representative at the book launch promised to give Aare five million, but up till today, he didn't fulfill his promise.

"In 2005,Tinubu offered Aare Adams a two-bedroom apartments at Lagos state Low Cost Housing Estate, Ojokoro, Meiran, Lagos but he rejected it. The last time Aare meet with him was in 2009. So why is he after Aare?

"The position of Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland is that of a traditional warlord of the Yoruba race. As the Yoruba generalisimo and cultural aficionado, he has sworn on an oath to defend the Yoruba race and this is what he has been doing’

"Any Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland must say the truth at the right time, no matter who is involved. And the Aare Gani Adams I know is up to the task. Therefore, it is a complete misinterpretation of words to say Aare Gani Adams is a misfit for the Yoruba race."

Any Yoruba man or woman who's not in support of restructuring is a betrayal, not an omoluabi nor interested in the future well-being of Yorubas. Such individuals are just politicians whose sole interest is just power grab at the detriment of the Yoruba race.

Like I've often opined, the only way out of the woods of underdevelopment, ethnic rat race for resources at the centre amongst regions, sabotage of the system is to RESTRUCTURE in a peaceful manner lest the country breaks up violently.

There are no two ways about it, patchworks will never work than going around in circles of failures of governance.

All of them are selfishly the same or even worse.

"The true mark of a leader is the willingness to stick with a bold course of action — an unconventional business strategy, a unique development roadmap, a controversial marketing campaign — even as the rest of the world wonders why you're not marching in step with the status quo. In other words, real leaders are happy to zig while others zag. They understand that in an era of hyper-competition and non-stop disruption, the only way to stand out from the crowd is to stand for something special."

Where are the dumb, intentionally stupid idiots on his forum that believe anyone who opposes Tinubu is automatically an Igbo or ipob?

Ask your dumb heads if Gani Adams is also an ipob.

They claim to be sophisticated, but realities have shown that they are only sophisticated in stupidity.

.

What us the ideology of Iba Gani? Most of us don't know what restructure means, we are new to the term and we believe is something we want. The federal government just gave the the local government and judiciary autonomy, the executive refused it, and nobody raises alarm. Restructure is like the subsidy removal we just witness, everybody want it but we don't want the aftermath.
Most of them attacking Tinubu has not done 10% what he has done. Interests or no interest, we all aim for our interests.

Iba Gani has never been in accord with Tinubu, how do you expect him to with him, he will always antagonize him, Iba Gani was not declaring for restructure when he was getting bills from Jonathan while Jonathan was busy sidelining his region.

What's special in furthering a course of betraying your people cos of political expediency?

All reported by jobless osu and ehbos, one drunkard from poverty ridden inviable Ebonyi will pick up his keypad publishing rubbish online, ever since I have been reading this story of Gani Adams and Tinubu, it is from one buka shanty from the East that is concocting one incoherent and preposterous claims of evil, devil incarnates. We see beyond your antics, always creating issues where there is non like the devil, they make the country hostile by planning and executing the first coup that made all tribes to against each others.

I only want those who see anyone attacking Tinubu as an igbo to stop acting dumb.

Hmmm

Why do you think it was Igbos that wrote it? Did you see the Writer when he was writing it and you know him to be an Igbo?

Tribalism doesn't take you anywhere. It only makes you mentally stagnant

This Adam appears to be an empty noise maker, than a leader he sees himself. As far as am concerned, he is not different from our usual politician, otherwise he wld not have led OPC solidarity rally to gather support for re-election of GEJ, who called true yoruba leaders thugs in 2015 .
Similarly, his aberrant behaviour that led to the factionalization of OPC is still fresh in our minds.

Unequivocally speaking , I'm compelled to believe that this guy (Adams)is not only pained that GEJ lost woefully in the said election, but his and others (bode George and co) inability to deliver the yoruba block votes to PDP.

Adams is not fit to occupy that post of Are Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land. I'm sure he ll end up bringing disrepute to that stool.!

Tinubu is something else, imagine this man becoming a president. Hmmm jesu

Gani Adam should Shut Up and respect the position of the Are Ona Kakanfo.

All these businessmen politician hiding under the banner of restructuring to project themselves as different from the status-quo should keep shut.

Where was restructuring when Gani Adams was busy supporting Jonathan because of the pipeline contract Jonathan gave him? Where was restructuring when Are was busy campaigning for Jonathan?

This Adam's of a boy appears to be a noise maker than a leader he thinks he is. As far as am concerned, he is equally a politician otherwise he wld not have led OPc solifarity protest to. Campaign for re-election of GEJ in 3015 .
Similarly, his aberrant behaviour leading to the factionalization of OPC is still fresh in out minds. I think this guy is not only pained that GEJ lost the election, but his inability to deliver the yoruba block votes to PDP.

Is that all you can deduce from the statement?

And you call him a boy cos he's not supporting Tinubu whom you initially called corrupt but later you edited that part out to accused him of being aberrant and supporter of Gej.

SMH

U dumb Ipob, u better face your Biafra or death, what do u know about Gani Adams? A confirmed PDP with 9B to his pocket from GEJ under the guise of pipeline vigilante, just voicing the script written for him by his sponsors, don't just come here and b yarning dust .

Your hatred for the Igbos , will take you to hell. You accused the Igbos of not talking along with you politically, Okorocha, Ogbonaya Onu, followed you into Apc,where are they, in the scheme of things in Apc?
Iba Gani Adams and his followers, called out Tinubu, you are taking it out on a whole tribe, who has nothing to do with their fight.
I warn you all, to leave the Igbos alone in your fight. Once a post is made against Tinubu, your next attack is on a whole tribe, why not take out on those opposing Tinubu directly?

Wooiw

Bros, am entitled to my opinion here!

Meanwhile, if Gani Adams, despite his earlier misadventure at launching himself, is interested in politics, should come out and contest. He shld stop hiding under the toga of 'Are ona kakanfo' position to project himself as a yoruba leader.

the worst part is no Igbo leader has said anything about him since he became internally displaced politician.

Because PDP lost power, losers are now finding solace in restructuring, why didn't you ask for it during PDP Covid 16 years?

APC will not restructure anything, you can wait for 2023 and do your worst.



I AM DONE TALKING

duncun:
Why are you guys not speaking out on the treacherous acts he has accused tinubu of rather than chasing shadows

Is he better than or different from Tinubu ? He is a s guilty as those he alleges. I think he is even worse !


A glorified thug who lacks modicum of decency in all sense.

What misadventure are you talking about? I've not read where he claimed to be interested in contesting elections.

Gani Adams is Aare Ona kankanfo and you don't expect him to keep silent if certain actions aren't right and detrimental to Yorubas well-being.

And it's unfortunate the way some of you guys made tin god's outta mere mortals who are politicians.

And true Yoruba leaders are the in the mould of Awolowo not all these corrupt baba sope money- miss-road politicians without foresight aside selfish, greedy interests.
