Is Yinka Odumakin Pro-yoruba Or Anti-north? Read, Reflect And Respond! by ImperialYoruba: 6:34am On Sep 04, 2017 |
AHEAD of its planned Yoruba Summit on restructuring scheduled for Thursday, September 7, 2017, the South West says it intends to unify the zone irrespective of party affiliation. It, however, said that the north is not invited to its summit because it has not gotten invitation from the region in the past. Secretary of the Planning Committee of the Yoruba Summit, Mr Yinka Odumakin, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard, said the six state governors, National Assembly members, elders, opinion leaders and groups, irrespective of party affiliation are expected to be at the summit. Odumakin said invitation has been sent to all Yoruba-speaking areas in the country and other zones like the South East and South South as steps taken to mobilize people. When asked whether the former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will be in attendance, he said invitations have been extended to all in the South West. He said: “Massive Mobilisation has commenced in Yoruba-speaking areas of Nigeria with our governors, National Assembly members, opinion leaders, various groups, individuals and the rest of them. We have commenced this process to ensure we have an all-inclusive summit where all opinions will be represented and since we are talking about Yoruba affirming its joint position on the most popular issue in Nigeria today, which is restructuring of the polity, the Yoruba summit is across board.” On those the summit is reaching out to outside the South West, he said “aside from Yoruba within the South west, we have also extended invitation to Ohanaeze Ndigbo, we have also invited PANDEF to come and show solidarity with us at the summit.” Asked whether any invitation has been extended to the North, he said “we have not received any invitation from the north in the past.” Stating what it intends to achieve at the end of the summit, Odumakin said “the major goal of the Yoruba summit is to articulate our position, unify our thoughts on the restructuring debate so that henceforth, we will have a position of the Yoruba and all groups and individual shall speak from the same page. That is the goal of the summit. “Our expectation is to have a robust gathering where issues will be articulated, a position taken and from there, we will negotiate with other regions in the country”, he said. 1 Like |

The template from June 29th 2017. This was the baseline. Yinka is shifting goalpost and is deceptive. Our leaders have reprimanded that the Presidency is not listening to the voice of its citizens and movements at the grassroot. Are Yoruba leaders hearing the grievances of their own children? We say Yoruba must stand alone but negotiate interests with others.....we did not say SE and SS must stand with us, or we with them! How and why did Odumakin send invites to people Yoruba children say they do not want in Yoruba affairs? 2 Likes

So what if he is 'Anti-North'?...has the northern region not been 'Anti-SW' and every other region in the South countless times in the past and recently?. Anyway i pity Odumakin already knowing how myopic his people are..They are already asking him stuppid questions ..They will simply throw him under the bus all on the alter of petty party politics and slavish love/fear of the north.. Later they will say they are 'united' while SEs are not 16 Likes 2 Shares |

This is a noble cause. My only reservation is the invitation extended to some non Yoruba speaking regions and the expense of others. If you ask me, I support a Yoruba coalition that will take a position, defend it and stand by it. That in itself is Unity. My reaction is 1)Demand support from all regions 2) Do not invite them to our forum, because decisions are to going be taken on what we stand for as a people. 3) The Igbos are not more of an ally than the North. Reach me for more.... 6 Likes |

rainylad:Stop talking rubbish you ardent Moro.n Odumakin is nothing but a political contractor who is only fighting for his pocket. Neither APC nor PDP members can chart a future for Yoruba. Its only you yeboriskies that allows yourself to be hoodwinked by expiring politicians turned secessionists. When Odumakin was collecting contracts upandan from Jonathan and campaigning for him using the platform of Afenifere he never knew Nigeria need restructuring abi? Yoruba want out of this country or at least a total restructuring where we will decide who own even a centimetre of land in Southwest. But we will do so at our own time not when a set disgruntled ediots who changed Nigeria from a regionalism into a unitary state in 1966 want to. Nonsense. 9 Likes |

So far between June and now there have benn three leadership meetings. Akure Lagos Abeokuta Next is Ibadan. Here is article from Lagos meeting. Lagos—South West leaders met in Lagos yesterday, to unfold plans for an upcoming Yoruba “Grand Rally on Restructuring”. Addressing newsmen after the meeting, the Chairman, Organising Committee for the Rally, Dr Kunle Olajide, said that the rally, scheduled to hold in Ibadan on September 7, would be a one-agenda-congress on restructuring. |

Odumakin is a jobless political hustler who is all out for his pocket. He started out as a Tinubu boy, then moved on to become Buharis media aide before Jonathan called him to come and share in the national cake. A character who uses Yoruba nationalism to negotiate for his pocket cannot represent my interest. 3 Likes |

Thanks for this expose. This yinka odumaking fella is another sly femi fani kayode ilk, a pure pdp sympathizer who wants to use the deception of an organization to push his own selfish and personal agenda. And his recent statement has been garnered at putting the yoruba ppl in direct confrontation with the north with who we enjoy a great relationship.

Here is the one from Abeokuta....does this not sound like the governors already have bought into the template from the June meeting in Akure? In fact they mobilized for Western Regional Government by declaring publicly how it will be known when formalized and instituted. So how did we get from all these progressive meetings of Yoruba joining heads and hands to move us forward....to where now Odumakin is inviting SE and SS to join us in what has been labeled "the mother of the rallies" where we tell the whole world our resolve and decision on Yoruba in Nigeria? Odumakin must dis-invite Ohanaeze and PANDEF. This is Yoruba affair, not South versus North. Here is article of Governors meeting. Canvass joint actions on region’s security |

rainylad: you call us myopic when your whole region is known for myopia how do you explain ibos with billions of dollars of investment outside the south east heating up the polity and trying so hard to make enemies because of a phantom dream of a Biafra with roads laid with diamonds and streets paved with gold that is political/economic harakiri on the other hand Yorubas want restructuring and we are busy building bridges while attracting investors. yet you keep wondering why dangote didn't site his refinery in the Ss/se. that's because our region is stable. let me educate you a little the southwest currently generates 75% of the VAT in Nigeria. we have the busiest airports and sea ports (Tin Can and Apapa). more than 80% of the income imported items in Nigeria comes in through the southwest. the seaports alone generate over 1trillion naira yearly not to talk of the land border. imagine a restructured Nigeria with the south west region keeping the VAT, import duties from the borders and the income from the ports while sending only 25% to the FG. our development will be rapid. restructuring is the best for us. we know what we want. you can call us selfish but we are not narrow minded or myopic. we are eons ahead of ibos in political calculation. take that!!! 7 Likes 1 Share |
