Yorubas Were Not In The Opposition For 16 Years - Afam4eva by Afam4eva(m): 5:31pm On Dec 09, 2017 |
There's a saying that when a lie is allowed to go on for too long, it becomes the truth or atleast it's starts looking like it. There's this lie that has been bandied around about how Yorubas have been in opposition politics for soo long. How could Yorubas have been in opposition when the number one citizen of the country, Chief Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo who ruled for 8 years is a Yoruba man. Let's not forget all the ministers, heads of parastatals and senators who represented their various constituencies and were members of the ruling party at the time (PDP). Even in Yaradua and Jonathan's government, Yorubas were highly represented. So, why do people keep saying that Yorubas have been in the opposition for so long when they're actually been represented in all governments since 1999 even more than Igbos. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Afam4eva: by the same token, we could argue that igbo are not in opposition now too after all, Ngige, Okorocha, Enelamah, Onu, Nwabueze etc are all in govt together with Buhari in addition to all the other parastatals that buhari has appointed igbos to. No tribe is obviously in opposition. only politicians are 30 Likes 3 Shares |

raumdeuter:Parties are in the opposition and not ethnic groups. The fact that a lot of Yorubas were in Alliance for Democracy (AD) does not mean the Yoruba nation was in the opposition. it would even make more sense to say that Lagos was in the opposition. 11 Likes |

Afam4eva: That means no tribe was ever in opposition and all tribes have always being in power one way or another so even marginalization cries become moot. For the bold, we can say Tinubu and Lagos were the only ones in opposition 14 Likes |

Either the OP is naive or simply acting mischievous. He readily agree that Igbos are marginalised in the present dispensation but not ready to accept that when then main political establishment of a people don’t belong to the ruling party, then the people are in opposition Aribisala is coming to straighten your head shortly 6 Likes |

Shukuakukobambi:No, it doesn't. There's a difference between not being an opposition and being marginalized. In every political setup, some people must be marginalized or feel marginalized. It may interest you to know that despite the fact that Igbos have been pro PDP since 1999, they've not gotten the same level of treatment that even non PDP states have gotten. So, marginalization can be tribal or religious as opposed to being partisan. 5 Likes |
