Some South-West leaders are

currently biting their fingers in regret

over voting President Muhammadu

Buhari into office.



buhariThe zone is particularly angry with

the President, who is the leader of the

All Progressives Congress, APC, for

tolerating the outcome of National

Assembly leadership election, which

did not favour the region.



Buhari’s silence according to them is a

serious indication that the zone, which

queued behind him to ensure victory

at the recent polls, may benefit little or

nothing from the administration.

“For the fact that the South-West

played a key role in the emergence of

Buhari as the President, it is expected

that they would occupy a more

strategic position than the post of vice

president”, said one of the leaders.

They argued that the National

Assembly leadership election, which

eventually placed the North Central

geopolitical zone as a powerful force in

the country’s power equation through

the emergence of former Kwara

governor, Bukola Saraki, as Senate

President and Yakubu Dogara from the

North-East, has depicted the South-

West as not only a weak power bloc in

the equation.

With the power structure now,

the South-West as a region has been

relegated to the background in the

power structure of the country.

Some of the leaders of the region who

also participated in the last National

Conference argue that since the South-

West does not hold any substantial

position in the current power structure,

the region must re-strategise to assert

itself in the politics of the nation.

They further argued that the position

of Vice President, which is presently

held by a south westerner, does not

place the region as a powerful force.

While referring to one of the speeches

made by former President Goodluck

Jonathan during the campaigns leading

up to the 2015 general elections,

National Coordinator of Coalition

of Democrats for Electoral Reform,

CODER, Chief Ayo Opadokun, a

South-West leader, who spoke to the

Nigerian Pilot Sunday on the current

power imbalance, noted that the

Yoruba race made a great mistake by

not re-electing the former President,

considering what he had in stock for

the zone.

He emphasised that the

implementation of the National

Conference report would elevate

the standard of the zone, which is

the reason people of the South-West

should have queued behind Jonathan.

What if they voted Jonathan?

They r carriers of baby brain disease. What do they expect? Listen, we voted a Nigerian president n not a southwestern president. Let this man be for crying out at all. He doesn't owe any zone anything, rather he owes the Nigerian populace his promises.

We live at a time when man believes himself fabulously capable of creation, but he does not know what to create. This is what niger delta and biafrans thinks about. I pity them.

There is no good attached to political myopism. Do not be wise in your own eyes!
