Obasanjo An Igbo Man, S’West Hasn’t Produced President Since 1999 – Sen. Adefuye by hisexcellency34: 10:32am On Dec 22, 2020

Lagos – Senator Anthony Adefuye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Tuesday said it is the turn of the South-West to produce the President of Nigeria in 2023 as the only region that is yet to do so since the return of democratic governance to the country in 1999.

Speaking in an interview with INDEPENDENT, Adefuye said those clamouring for the Presidency to go to the South-East are wrong as the region produced former President Olusegun Obasanjo who was in power from 1999 to 2007.

According to him, Obasanjo is an Igbo man because his father hailed from Anambra state while his mother is a Yoruba woman.
He added that while in office Obasanjo concentrated most of his efforts towards developing the South-East, including appointing five Ministers as well as the Central Bank Governor from the region while he completely abandoned the South-West.

He said: “I believe that in 2023, the APC will zone the Presidential ticket to the South. When it comes to the South, then it will be narrowed down to the South West because that is the only region that has not produced the President since 1999. It has always been the North and the Igbos".
“Some people may argue that what about Obasanjo? Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man. He is an Igbo man from the South-East. His father is from Anambra while his mother is a Yoruba woman. And that was why during his tenure, he completely ignored the South West. For example, throughout his eight years, he did nothing on the Lagos- Ibadan expressway.

“But he did a lot for his people in the South-East. He picked five Ministers from there and even appointed the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria from Anambra where his father comes from.

“So, it is right for the South-West to demand for the Presidency in 2023. What we should be doing now is working towards 2023 to ensure that the Presidency comes to the Southwest. The Southwest has never produced the President before,” he said.

In reality, many Igbos actually believe that Obasanjo is an Igbo man just like Adefuye said. Why are some Igbos now attacking the man for revealing what Igbos already believe?

Matthew Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo was born in the village of Ibogun-Olaogun in southwest Nigeria.[4] His later passport gave his date of birth as 5 March 1937, although this was an estimate, and there are no records of Obasanjo's birthdate from the time itself.[5] His father was Amos Adigun Obaluayesanjo "Obasanjo" Bankole and his mother was Bernice Ashabi Bankole.[6] He was the first of nine children; only he and a sister (Adunni Oluwole Obasanjo) survived childhood

They said Obasanjo nominated igbos as ministers, how has that changed anything in Igbo land. Then go to ogun state and wish if Obasanjo did half of what he did in Ogun state in any part of the country.

This line Obasanjo did nothing for Yorubas is a line gotten from his rift with Tinubu the then Governor of Lagos state. Tinubu has been trying to play back politics just to level with Obasanjo but he forgot this is Nigeria, local politics and national politics are not thesame. He made blunder trying to get Southwest to power, the blunder didn't affect Southwest this time but everyone in the South including outside the region too.

All this statement from an old man are Tinubu slaves, they can't think from their Head, they have to borrow another person narrative as theirs. They have "C" in their tittle.

The dirty minds of the Yoruba race have brought Nigeria to her knees. Don't forget they ushered in the calamity called Buhari, and to them, that's smart politics. The Nigeria civil war, the long damaging military incursions into the Nigerian politics, even the current fulani jihadist killings were all triggered by the dirty political minds emanating from the SW period.
