There’s a Yoruba lamentation that I found quite
amusing. It’s usually a retort to a victimization of
some description that we can’t explain: ki ni mo se
fun yin? In the Nigerian parlance, it translates to
“wetin I do for you?” In case there are non-
Nigerians reading this, it means “what have I done
to deserve this persecution?”
Chief Kola Aderemi wrote in The Nation of
December 23 that President Jonathan must have
something against the Yoruba to allow for such
sustained ill-treatment. “Nothing illustrates
President Jonathan’s hatred for Yoruba,” he said,
“better than the way he removed some Yoruba
people from key positions on allegation of being
too close to the former President Olusegun
Obasanjo. To buttress my point, I recalled how he
removed Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola as People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) Secretary. Mr. Yomi
Bolarinwa was removed as DG of Nigeria
Broadcasting Commission, Otunba Segun Runsewe
was removed as DG of Nigerian Tourism
Development Commission (NTDC) and they were
replaced with Igbo people.” Here is a selection of
other Yoruba people that Jonathan sacked: Mr. Olu
Oluleye, Executive Secretary, the Petroleum Trust
Development Fund (PTDF) was sacked by
Jonathan. CEO of the Accident Investigation
Bureau, Dr. Samuel Oduselu was also sacked.
Stella Oduah, sacked eight general managers at the
FAAN in 2014, six of whom were Yoruba. The same
minister employed 75 workers, 40 of whom were
from the Southeast, her geo-political zone. The
minister sacked the Rector of the Nigerian College
of Aviation Technology, Zaria, Captain Adebayo
Araba and replaced him with Captain Chinyere Kalu
from the Southeast. The Director-General of the
Bureau of Public Enterprises, Mrs. Ola Onagoruwa,
was sacked for “undisclosed reasons”. In fact,
immediately after Yar’adua died, Jonathan went on
Yoruba sacking spree. The result being, other than
appointment that are constitutionally required,
Yorubas are nowhere in his government. The
Yorubas moved from the number one (position of
President Obasanjo) to number 22. I’m not exactly
sure how this reckoning was done, but it serves my
purposes to use it. Whatever Jonathan has been
told however, Yorubas don’t deserve this neglect.
Many of them voted for him in 2011, but he’s got
this weird conviction that those who voted him in
the Southwest and the North are the Igbos resident
in those areas.
A collegue of mine who told me that in 2011 she
voted Jonathan because she thought that was
justice – because Niger Delta produces a chunk of
the government income; however, she wouldn’t
repeat that mistake again not because Jonathan
dislikes the Yoruba people, but because the guy is
useless to everybody, including the long suffering
people of the Niger Delta. My own friend for many
years, also a Yoruba Muslim, gave me the same
reason for supporting Jonathan in 2011. I keep
getting this “sense of justice” reason from the
Yoruba people that I’m beginning to think that
must something embedded in our culture. We
voted enmass for the president four years ago but
he betrayed us. It’s the reason why the Yoruba
people shouldn’t let this betrayal go unpunished.
The fortunate thing for Nigerians and particularly
the Yourbas, is that many of us have long resolved
to do this. That sense of justice will be used to
shoot down Jonathan this month. We are an
intelligent set of people. We will do Nigeria a
favour.
I call upon all Yorubas in supplication, don’t vote
Jonathan. As of this moment, the only Yoruba
group which supports Jonathan is Afenifere.
However, even Afenifere is divided. Afenifere
Renewal Organization, ARG, said they didn’t
support the endorsement of Jonathan enacted by
Yinka Odumankin’s group. So the authentic
Afenifere doesn’t support the president. The Oodua
organization based in the US also distanced itself
from the self-serving endorsement of Odumankin’s
group. Civil rights activist, Moshood Erubami,
summed it up: “No real Yoruba man or woman
who supports a pan-Yoruba political and
developmental agenda will vote for Jonathan in the
coming election, because the Southwest has not
gained anything from his administration. So let’s
have a bloc vote from this intelligent and
enterprising race. Jonathan shouldn’t continue,
Yorubas must not allow him!

I don't even care who Jona appointed or not, what am after is a good governance which he has failed woefully & we can't afford another 4years of bad government that's is why we are yearning for CHANGE, Jona is shuttling SW because the battle will be determine here & unfortunately for him, he has failed because SW is rooting for CHANGE.
Sai Buhari.

Why would you ignore and abandon a "friend" when the going is good and then seek to flatter him when you need his help to extend your good times.

No Jonathan, no !
