A socio-political group, under the auspices of the Yoruba Ronu Group, has warned against involving in campaign of calumny ahead of the forthcoming 2023 elections.

Specifically, the group condemned some alleged sponsored online media attacks against one of the presidential aspirants and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu.

The chairman of the group, Mr Diran Iyantan, in a statement, on Tuesday, said mischievous posts online had become a routine, alleging that the source of those publications is well known and traceable to certain misguided politicians and fake human rights crusaders.

Iyatan said, “We have repeatedly stated in our previous releases that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s ambition does not stop other Yoruba or any South-West person from aspiring to the same position. We just feel that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has a better chance than anyone else at clinching the position which is the reason for our support for him.

“It is, therefore, sad to see fellow Yoruba persons casting aspersions on the person of Jagaban for flying high the flag of the Yoruba race. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s interest after leaving office has been to help nurture and consolidate democracy in Nigeria. This, he has done, creditably, well. In addition, he has helped the progressives to attain the country’s presidency.

“We are aware that the stakes are high as the presidential election approaches, and desperate politicians will resort to different gimmicks, basically, to rock the boat. Those who have committed themselves to a sustained campaign of calumny in the media against the person of Asiwaju Tinubu, the former Governor of Lagos State, will labour in vain and they are well known to us.

“We are aware that these cowards and hack-writers have benefited from Asiwaju’s benevolence in the past, only to turn around and sponsor negative publications to impugn his reputation. We charge them to desist forthwith from such callousness because their duplicitous conduct will eventually hunt them down.”

The group urged politicians to promote their political party interest, to conduct themselves with maturity, dignity and mutual respect in the interest of the people of Yoruba-land and, by extension, Nigeria.

Iyatan said, “We have repeatedly stated in our previous releases that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s ambition does not stop other Yoruba or any South-West person from aspiring to the same position. We just feel that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has a better chance than anyone else at clinching the position which is the reason for our support for him.

One question for Yoruba people..

Is it that no Yoruba man is allowed to aspire..or have ambition except Tinubu?

Are all Yoruba people eternal salves to Tinubu.. that once he help you or assist you in whatever way, forever the person souls automatically belongs to Tinubu?

We saw it with Ngige .. he’s igbo and igbos don’t worship humans

Aregbe .. a core loyalist that have rejected the eternal slave toga .. fighting to be free and ambitious..Tinubu slaves and worshipers are abusing him..
Osibanjo and the rest..
fashola , ambode , and lots of others ..

Guess that’s the President yoruba people are pushing for President of yorubaland.. Godforbid Nigeria.

A President that whoever criticizes,Yoruba will curse abuse insult and even kill..

I don’t understand this Yoruba people .. acting as slaves to Tinubu and same time .. being wives to the North..

Is all strange

Any Nigerian qualified under the Constitution can contest for president. People should stop the emotional blackmail and promote their candidate. Blackmail is a tool of the weak.

Personally I have my reservation for Tinubu's candidature but that doesn't mean I should malign his person.
Continuous smear campaign against him might be counterproductive in the long run as some indecisive minds like me might turn up for him much later.

When these yeebos begin to attack you online, just know that you are on your way to stardom. Same way they attacked buhari and called him all manner of unprintable names. Las Las, the daft from daura became the president.

I won't be surprised if Tinubu become the next president.

These jobless keyboard warriors don't even have a voters card.

CharlotteFlair:
Shut your trap! You are actually bragging with a buhari presidency? Back when Jonathan was enduring every insults from you lots, nobody heard your counsel.

Godfullsam:


I am not a fan of bubu presidency. Go an get your voters card instead of hiding behind your phone to talk trash.

If you guys continue to toe the path of cyber blackmail instead of voting the right candidate, you will surely pay for it.
