0m0nnakoda: You ask a lot of question. I guess you are trying to imply that betrayal is part of politics. Firstly Ffk father did not betray Awolowo he betrayed the western region. At that time regions stood behind the three major parties theAG the NCNC and the NPC. Let me quote extensively from an igbo commentator Lawrence Chinedu Nwobu http://africandemocrat.com/content/remi-fani-kayode-akintola-awo-and-western-region-crisis-truncated-first-republic-lawrence "By 1963, the plot between Akintola, Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello was perfected and Chief Obafemi Awolowo was arrested for coup plotting/ treason. His trial commenced in earnest and he was alongside some accomplices convicted for treason and jailed for 10 years. [/b]This again was the first alleged coup plotting and conviction in Nigerian history. [b]Intent on totally decimating Chief Awolowo, Ladoke Akintola together with vice premier Remi Fani Kayode went into a political alliance with Prime minister Tafawa Balewa and new political party known as the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) was formed. By this time Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe had realised the folly of entering a coalition with Tafawa Balewa’s government and teamed up with incarcerated Chief Awolowo’s Action group to form the United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA). In 1964, federal elections became due. As usual ethnic chauvinism, intimidation and violence was part of the frenzied campaigning. Remi Kayode and Akintola’s campaign was as usual almost entirely based on tribalism. When the elections were finally held, it was massively rigged in the Western region. Indeed deputy premier Remi Fani Kayode had famously boasted that “there is nothing they can do, whether they vote us or not, we will win.” This statement turned out to be true as massive rigging was orchestrated in the elections. Once again this became the first pioneering act of election rigging by indigenous actors in Nigeria’s history. The announcement of the rigged election results quickly sparked off unprecedented acts of thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and general acts of lawlessness in the Western region" There many instances of betrayal in politics there are pivotal moments in a country's history. Ffk and Akintola set in motion the western crisis and was a precursor of the first and counter coups of 1966. Those coups led to the civil war in which millions died. Ffk can say whatever he wants. On every occasion it will provide an opportunity for people to revisit his family's history, since he lacks respect for other peoples houses. 4 Likes 1 Share |

0m0nnakoda: Hi Omo, Let me speak to you in the assumption that you are Yoruba. I ain't but it won't be a problem as I am infused in the culture. Every culture on Earth has its plus & minus and irrespective of how "others" feel about aspects of a culture, the owners and holders will always hold on to their own definitions of values & vices. The Yorubas have a concept of Omoluabi (Omo olu iwa bi = One of Esteemed Character) and for good or bad, a human being was meant to strive to attain the zenith of good behavior to the acclaim of fellow citizens, for his sake and that of his family, his clan and his town. This is what the entire tradition of the "Aku aaro o ji're" was all about until the British to Nigerian era brought about today's disruption and corruption of society. To the current matter; There are three great traitors known to the Yoruba folks; Aare Afonja, Chief S. L. Akintola and...(wait for it) Oloye Remilekun Fani-Kayode (AKA Fani Power)! There is a reason why these men are singled out for national disregard. They broke ranks with the leaders of the Yoruba people in periods of great turmoil and sided with the "outsiders" leading to disruption of society in ways that led to permanent loss of political/developmental/social gains and position of the entire people. Afonja's ambition to create a fiefdom for himself against the position of the Alaafin of empire and against the wishes of the people led to the destruction of the empire, loss of the northern city of Ilorin, civil war and eventual loss of independence of the nation which has remained to date! Chief Akintola / Fani-Kayode's desires to achieve their personal ambitions of usurping Chief Awolowo's powers against the wish of the people led them to not only cross carpet to the Northern side but to also fully connive with the Federal authorities in trumped up charges of treasonable felony against Awo to lock up the Yoruba leader leading to loss of political power in the West, ensuing "Wetie" crisis which all acted as precursor to the 1st Military coup in Nigeria, the counter coup and eventual civil war! So you see, my friend, the universal condemnation of Femi Fani-Kayode's father as a traitor and antithesis to omoluabi isn't just for his decamping from the yoruba party so-to-say, but for the treachery of getting Awo imprisoned on fake charges and disruption to the free education, industrialization etc project the true leaders were pursuing then. This is why almost every Yoruba you meet will hold Afonja as the ultimate poster boy for treachery quickly followed by Femi Fani-Kayode. Hoping the above makes sense, requiring no further back and forth on the Yoruba mindset as per the Fani-Kayodes. 10 Likes 1 Share |

joefelin2345: Bunkum. Was it necessary then to rope Awolowo into a phantom coup and have him incarcerated thereby robbing the AG of its leader? Was the issue about becoming President or rather who would run the region? Which of the political parties of the time held away outside of their regions? Is it not true that ffk father said "whatever figure they write or report we will win the election?" Was this not the cause of the pandemonium that broke out in the west after the results were announced leading to military action and the first, second coups that led into the civil war? We did not read this history, some of us went through it. There is nowhere in the western region outside of his home town that the name ffk is respected. Re the 79 election - did Awo really lose that election? What happened to the fanikayode and akintola schools - where are they today in yorubaland? Who lines up behind either of those two names? Lets remember how this conversation begun. Ffk asks someone " who is your father?" The answer is what we are talking about. 5 Likes |

kjhova:What makes anyone a traitor? Is there a Yoruba Council on Treachery. You dare to lecture me on Yoruba History. Who is Yoruba and when did they meet to determine what is Yoruba interest and then what is treachery? Afonja was not a YORUBA problem. He was an Oyo problem. The Ijebus among others supported Ilorin against Oyo There is nothing like universal condemnation. Awolowo was a politician not an Orisha . Akintola was from Ogbomoso and no Ogbomoso man would call him a traitor. He is no more of a traitor than Tinubu |

isthatso:No Awo wasn't wrong ...and he had wanted to hand over to Enahoro when the Akintola group planned a coup against Awo . If you say Awo was selfish, even after handing over easily, didn't Akintola and FFk father using federal might rig to perpetuate themselves thereby proving Awolowo's initial fears? It is the same game that Falae and co pulled against Bola Ige at D'Rovans in Ibadan in 1999 . ....hence a cosmopolitan Tinubu won't ever agree with the vestiges of that old era mostly in ' afenifebi' cos they ain't 'afenifere' . 2 Likes 1 Share |

kjhova: My friend, fear God n your destiny. Beware how you castigate people on issues that you seemed not to know much about. Do you know that at the meeting called in Ejigbo (Osun State) where the then Western Obas wanted to settle the matter b/w Awo n Akintola, Chief Awo threatened to leave AG should Akintola remained in the party and that the man must be expelled from AG by all means. This was a man that made the people of Ibadan to support AG as they originally were NCNC hence the popular song then....Laiye Akintola Olorun maje ndibo fakuko..I.e. God forbid that I shall vote for cock (,symbol of NCNC party) during Akintola's era. Do you also realise that at AG Convention in Jos, Akintola spoke for over two hours to debunk the allegation of his allegiance to NPC but Late Anthony Enahoro insisted that he must be expeled from AG which he had helped to build. Recall also that it was the same Akintola that told the Notherners that ....kaka ki Yoruba dobale fun Gambari, kaluku aya she tire lototo ni. If such a man later decided to team up with its firmer rival, there must be serious reason to do so. You talk of Chief Awolowo being framed up, while I sympathized with the late Sage on his incarceration, the issue is neither here no there. I recalled that even the Noble Laureate n Ikoku (not Alvan pls) in some interviews lend some credence to the allegation but with caveat that they were not sure that Baba Awo might not be part of it. Let me ask you who betray Awo in 1979 n 1983 General elections? Is it Akintola who had being killed over 13 years ago by then? I strongly believe that Baba Awo must have known its real betrayers by now? People that were so close to him but refused to tell him the truth ? Some Yoruba might still see Akintola as a traitor as far as I know. They are entitled to their own opinion. If what is going on in the political terrain in Nigeria today is anything to go by, can we not say that majority of the so called Yoruba Progressives are not more betrayers of Awo ideology? Thank U very much my brother. |

0m0nnakoda:Betrayal is when you reneged on an agreement especially for personal selfish reasons. No even Awo ever called MKO a betrayer because they belonged to different political camp and ideologies....but not an Akintola, a colourful politician, who had agreed to be an 'arole' to Awo only to renege maybe on the promptings of the FFk father's clique after assuring Awo who had preferably wanted Enahoro to stand in. They went ahead to rig by conniving with Federal mights without the approval of the AG the political platform on which they came to relevance; set Awo up and jailed him, exposed the parties secrets that shouldn't be made public . That ,my friend is betrayal. 1 Like |

Babacele:So betraying Awolowo is betraying Yorubas? How were Yoruba betrayed? I think on reflection you will realise that it is just political activity. Just like those Yorubas who benefited from Abiola's troubles Akintola agreed to be Arole?where? ABURI? Arole for his age mate? Sorry you are talking rubbish. They had a different approach to what needed to be done. No one in Ogbomoso sees Akintola that way. |

0m0nnakoda:Those castigating MKO are ignorant. Despite being in different political space, Awo respected MkO and was so happy when MKO angrily left NPN in 1983 after Umaru Dikko told him ,MKO, that the party's presidential ticket was ' 'not for the highest bidder'' ,after allowing him to bankroll the party and after being assured that the ticket would go to him. So elated was Awo that he described MKO's exit from NPN as " a movement from darkness to light". 1 Like |

Was Awo an ijebu leader or oduduwa leader? If the people you claim to lead say you ain't their leader ,ain't something wrong somewhere? Was there an unwritten agreement or not? was the agreement dished selfishly or not? The Yoruba race is more than ijebu,Oyo, akoko, egba or ogbomosho. That you need to know my friend.

joefelin2345: Like they always say, Joe, there are always two sides to a story. Also, history is nothing but "his-story", he being the winner. Remember that talk about the story of the hunt and how different it would be had the lion had his own historian...credit to Chinua Achebe of blessed memory. In my original comment, I only stayed on course with popularly accepted viewpoint. You know there are a handful people on Earth who insist that the Nazis never gassed the Jews. Despite them, the overriding majority of humans accept all available evidence as proof beyond reproach that Hitler did annihilate over 6million Jews during the Holocaust. This is how the world works. Irrespective of whatever case can be made for chief Akintola, it remains historically shown that he broke ranks with the AG and actively participated in the lead up to jailing chief Awolowo. Both of them also acquiesced to Sir Ahmadu Bello's plan to split the Benin/Edo/delta peoples from the West while keeping the East and North intact! Right or wrong, his actions along with oloye Remi Fani-Kayode precipitated the collapse of the emerging Yoruba experiment in nation building. I mean all of the past successes which Yorubas take pride in today were all during Awo's reign and pre Akintola/Fani Power's hijack. (for clarity, I'm referring to free education, cocoa house, the Ife/Lagos/Ibadan universities, TV/radio media, industrial estates, investment funds, banks etc). Above reasons are why majority Yorubas hold Fani Power and Akintola as traitors and I don't think this crimsonian shade can be easily rubbed of both characters. I, for one, consider Fani Power as a vile and criminal character cobsidering everything I have ever read about him including what Lee Kuan Yew had to say about him in page 356 (or so) of his very popular book, From 3rd World to 1st! 5 Likes 1 Share |
