I like the way Yorubas are beating around the bush just to drag Zik into the mess, then turn a blind eye to the role Akintola played in jailing Awolowo #backstabbers

Deadlytruth:
Zik should have simply resigned from the NPC-NCNC coalition government if he truly had no hand in Awolowo's incarceration and the unconstitutional reinstatement of Akintola to Western Region Premiership position by the government. Meanwhile the Zik who initially rejected Awolowo's AG-NCNC coalition offer on some very flimsy and meaningless excuses later turned around to form the UPGA alliance with AG while it was too late due to Awo's imprisonment. Zik had to fight alone against the Northern Oligarchy's rigging of 1962 census because the Awolowo who would have added an invaluable momentum to the Southern side in that fight had already been weakened by the Zik/Balewa coalition government.
I keep asking why Zik would prefer to form a government with the Born-to-rule chanting Northern Oligarchy against an all South ideologically based alliance that would have in no time placed Nigeria on the path of rapid development and industrialization.
