Apart from being the centre of commerce and industry of Nigeria, Lagos is a place where the yorubas negotiate for relevance in politics in Nigeria.

Since the return of democracy in 1999, Lagos dictates the voting pattern of yorubas in presidential elections. That is the reason every presidential candidates go to Lagos to seek alliance with the yorubas.

Jonathan did this, thought he did not fulfilled his promises he made to the yorubas. Buhari also seek for yorubas votes via Lagos in 2015. If Yorubas lose Lagos to non-yoruba candidate, she will equally lose his political relevance in political space in Nigeria.

That is why in the just concluded gubernatorial election in Lagos not only Lagosians but all yorubas stood with Sanwo-Olu.

You can't blame them, they are only protecting their ancestral land and preserving their political relevance in Nigeria politics.

Nice post.
So you can vote in my city but I can't vote in your city.
Okay

They protected their Land againt one of their own they couldn't tame. Elders in your land and your misguided youth reached consensus easily by condenming a tribe for stealing your resources.

I once believed Tinubu pattern of politics to be Occultic.
