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.

Una never see anything.
Jonathan never opposed Tinubu in his shenegians in d south west,never interfered wt d tribunal rulings in Ekiti and Osun,allowed free and fair elections,yet Tinubu led some Yorubas to move from the known to d unknown feeling he will have a more direct access to d national purse.
Let us see how this marriage of strange bedfellows will work out.
