Who Speaks For The Yoruba In The Killing Fields Of Nigeria Today? (2), By Femi A by arewagist: 7:49pm On Jul 10, 2019
Bola Tinubu, Yemi Osinbajo and other APC opportunists can no longer speak for the Yorubas in Nigeria.
President Buhari cares for his people. But although he is president of Nigeria, his people are not the people of Nigeria. His people are the Fulanis in particular, and Northern Nigerians in general. That is the token of a “good politician.” A good politician promotes the interests of his people.
But what happens to members of the president’s party who are neither Fulani nor Northern Nigerians? Can they also care for their people as the president does for his, and at the same time be in alliance with Mr. President?
The evidence suggests they cannot and do not. They have watched in silence, without complaining, as the president filled major posts with his own people and ignored theirs. They have “siddon looked” as the entire security architecture of Nigeria was placed virtually exclusively in the hands of Northerners.
They said nothing when the president illegally appointed his sister’s in-law, Amina Zakari, as acting chairman of INEC, flouting statutory regulations and without the required approval of the National Council of State. Cat caught their tongue when the president illegally appointed Ahmed Lawan Kuru as the managing director of Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) and named its executive directors without requisite Senate confirmation.
They were missing in action when he illegally removed Nigeria’s Southern chief justice of the Supreme Court and replaced him with a Northerner.
Deafening Silence
Men like Bola Tinubu who were loud in calling for the restructuring the Nigerian polity, which is one of the cardinal demands of South, dropped their demand like a hot potato once they entered into an alliance with Buhari. In APC, they are now required to implement programs and policies whose primary objective is to benefit the agenda of the president’s people.
Rotimi Amaechi pitched the idea of building a University of Transportation in Nigeria. He believes, in his own words, that “charity begins at home.” Nevertheless, he claims in this case that his charity “must begin abroad.” The reason is that he is a member of the APC. Therefore, the proposed university has to be based in Daura, President Buhari’s hometown in Katsina State.
This is what happens when you join Buhari’s APC. You deny your interests and rationalize that of Mr. President. Buhari is https://arewagists..com/2019/07/who-speaks-for-yoruba-in-killing-fields.html
