"We wish to make it clear to the leadership of the party that in spite of the misrule of the APC administration, the party is not treating us as an outsider and no matter how bad it is our son is the Vice President there," the group said.
The Yoruba Restoration Group (YRG) has described the constitution of the Presidential Campaign Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as an indication of the party’s disdain for the Southwest.
On Monday, PDP named Senate President Bukola Saraki as the Director General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Council.
According to a statement on Monday by Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP spokesman, Aminu Tambuwal, Governor of Sokoto State, is Zonal Coordinator for the North-West; Ibrahim Dankwambo, Governor of Gombe State, is the North-East Zonal Coordinator; Samuel Ortom, Governor of Benue State, is the Zonal Coordinator for North-Central; David Umahi, Governor of Ebonyi State, holds the position for South-East, while Nyesom Wike is for South-Southand Ayodele Fayose is for the South-West region.
Barrister Kabiru Tanimu Turaki (SAN) was named as Chairman, Legal Matters, while Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Emmanuel Udom, is the Chairman, Fund Raising.
However, in a press statement on Tuesday, signed by its convener, Comrade Daud Jokotola, the YRG chided the party for always "thinking low" of the region despite its huge voting population.
“Ever since Chief Obasanjo left the PDP, the party has continued to treat south-westerners as outcast,” read the statement.
“It is on record that we only became the Speaker of the House of Representatives by chance during the Yar'Adua administration and ever since then, the PDP, in what looks like a sort of coup, has taken every leadership position meant for us to other regions.
"In 2017 when the chairmanship of the party was zoned to the region by a committee set up by the party itself, they took that position from us and gave it to the South-South.
"In the newly constituted campaign council of the party for the 2019 presidential election, the same party thought so low of us to drag us to merely regional coordinator.
"While we have no issues with the South-East being the vice presidential candidate and have taken the decision in good faith as a contribution to national unity, we will not stand back and allow this open desecration of our honour continue.
"We wish to make it clear to the leadership of the party that in spite of the misrule of the APC administration, the party is not treating us as an outsider and no matter how bad it is our son is the Vice President there.”

So it has come to this ?, it's no more about competence/competency or the progress of Nigeria, it's now "our son " " our son "...
How has Osibanjo's vice presidency enhanced the standard of living of an average Yoruba man on the street ?
Osibanjo was there when buhari's footsoldiers killed one of the members of Osibanjo's church (RCCG), Osibanjo did not do anything, he kept quite as if nothing happened..
Osibanjo was there when herdsmen were hell bent in eliminating Christians in Benue which they will continue from where they stopped if buhari wins ... Pastor Osibanjo said that we should pray for herdsmen.. SMH.
Why are my people hell bent in supporting evil even though we might one day become the victims of the evil we are supporting ?. Why are my Yoruba people shooting themselves on the legs just because of this satanic government led my muhammed buhari simply because of VP ? It's obvious that we are heading for self destruction.

So the election has now become tribal ? even though inside us we all know that buhari is nothing but a curse to this nation.
I hope those who intend to tribilise this election would be able to bear the consequences when the chips are down ?





CyynthiaKiss has spoken!

It amaze me how those fighting for Biafra now change slogan to Let get Nigeria working again... All of a sudden they now need votes from the amala and ewedu Region... Brown roof region as they always say..... They should come and carry it..

The PDP is proving true to type as a strictly Ipobian party.

The group should leave them alone to do what they like.

We are solidly behind the APC and PMB/PYO!

Hope you are not about to claim being a 'Yoruba christian' because everyone knows you are Igbo and a guy at that. You can only deceive and fool your fellow Igbos with the played out antic.

Yoruba will vote for APC because of Osinbade even if PDP zone all position to them, SW play tribal politics and PDP should look beyond their vote.

Groups that exist only in soft copy. None of these political NGO groups ever have a face or any of their members have a history that can be pointed at, whether socially or academically.

Another of such groups are RNDA, REIPOB, TRIPOB or is it TRIPOD (lol) etc.

Shameless filths that exist only on word processor applications.

Lol.

Yes o. Everybody should bear their papa name. Same way Igbos in SE would vote end masse for PDP (for Obi sake) even if APC zones all positions to SE, you people hate Buhari and APC that much and don't hide it, una don make am abundantly clear, so no need being a hypocrite about it. You people should rig and vote PDP while we will do same for APC.

Why are these people attracting more insults to the Yorubas?
Southwest having Huge vote population? This is just laughable

So you mean, the APC has the right to carter for the Yorubas in the south, giving them juicy positions and then malign other southerners especially the Igbos giving them ceremonial positions or in some occasions nothing at all. And if you ask them they will ask you where are the Igbos in APC.

So am throwing the same question to the southwesterns. Where are the Yoruba's in PDP?

their governors are all for APC. So why cry foul when one wants to invest in places that gonna favour him/her.

Please dear southwesterners, you can't eat your cake and still have it. Embrace PDP you so much love to hate if pride will allow you and have reason to be entitled. For now your pleas is being eroded.

PDP has had a Yoruba President for 8 years

If this is the type of politics we want to play in Nigeria then power will remain in the North for a very long time

One moniker said PDP is igbo party.. arewa youths and Acf thinks otherwise..

I told them tribalising this election won't help their cause.. .it will only make them appear to other Nigerians as being insensitive to the yearning of majority of Nigerians..and will even scuttle what ever chance of a Yorubas president in the future.. but Dem no gree ..na sophistocators..dem be with no intelligent.

The other one talk say..how we think say dia mother's an fathers in will vote Osibanjo..dia son..I no argue..

But what about those whose mothers and fathers no get son wey dey contest..but only know Buhari and Atiku?
Who he think those ones go vote for?

And those wey herdsmen don keep their own sons and daughters..fathers and mother's..who Dem go vote for?

The other said ..
Southwest go rig election for Buhari.. we all know Southwest last hope of buharis presidency being honest..cause Dem no say buhari don dey half way to lose .. is rigging.

But he can only rig if at least 40 percent of Nigerians are benefitting from his policies..
Okay..in this case their is nothing any Nigeria I benefitting from the government even in the west..except for few appointments..what else special..are else do the benefit?

Buhari, oshiomhole, kyari.apc and cabals knows tht this election will be so difficult to rig...and playing ethnic cards ain't selling again..the north is not interested.. middlebelt ain't interested..south ain't interested..we all want the Dullard out..

Yesterday..Boko shot an innocent pretty girl.. making sacrifice for her country at the back at close range ..and held one as slave for life ..na ipob abi igbos do am?

No matter how the Southwest wants to view or take this election is not gonna favor them.judging by the way they're playing ethnic card..
Okay
See this group..
Thanks want Gbenga Daniel or an average southwestern to be giving DG Atiku campaign.. In place of Saraki?

How could that be possible? Which of them have the power of saraki..and funny enough some slowpokes above have turned it to ipob igbo thing..is saraki igbo?
What will people of north Central and kwara think reading comments..

Southwest should wake up.. everyone is working hard to rescue this government from the Dullard..but they're working counter to that..and won't pay them..all because of their son ..let Nigerians keep dying abi..why de ty enjoy relative peace in their region..

You dey APC..nobody call am Yoruba party even though we all know you guys have major interest.. you told other Nigerians wherw were dey wen you guys qia supporting Apc..now the table has turn ..you can't take what you give..And you think Nigerians and party members are foolishly stupid to allow you guys armtwist them..like say na una brain lugard use almagamate Nigeria..
Dosen't work that way..

If you guys want to vote Osibanjo..vote Osibanjo... Nigerians already knows that..no sitting on the fence oe playing politics of sophistication..cos every one is sophisticated now..were all smart and wise..

Where you wia pushing Jonathan and dey way you guys qia going about it..many Nigerians warn about that kind of politics..but Lai Mohammed and Acn did not listen..

Now it's all xome back..
Vote who you wish to and stop threating fire where dragon no dey..

Atiku is winning this election by God's grace..and not Buhari can rig it..even in his northwest..he will still fail..

No be me talk am

The one that kills it is; in spite of the misrule of the APC we will still vote them in, if this is true which I doubt, then the problem of this country is not far fetched.

You are against PDP
You are making the election tribal
Gbenga daniel is Atiku's right hand man
Fayose got an equal appointment as the rest

Yet you are still screaming.... Wetin

resurgent4oodua:

#istandwithbuharitill2023

Abi? I no understand why e dey pepper dem. We just looking out for Osinbajo our son, same way they are supporting their own Fulani for Obi's sake.

WorldRichest:
PDP is Igbo or Ibo party. Let Igbos run their party the way they like.

And APC is what? Yoruba party?? Think again because the Fulani's owns it.. So stop being clannish and acting slavishly, bc even if Atiku should choose a Yoruba as running mate, you and I knows who you will vote for.

Yorubas on here sounding like emotional sore losers already, una don cry tire, proliferating the forum with your attention seeking rants. Nobody is stopping you or putting a gun to your heads from voting your Buhari or APC, so why all the noise? It's getting boring already, even the few Igbos that were Atikulating have all forgotten about it and moved on to other matters... the Northerners could even care less about two "dumb Southern major ethnic groups " that are second fiddling and fighting themselves over mere deputy positions... over their two Fulani brothers... Buhari and Atiku who are presidential aspirants... una think say Fulani care who wins between the two? Lmfaooo y'all just dumb and naive to see the power play at hand... Gambari are smart in the political game of divide and conquer, they've reduced two presumably educated and sophisticated ethnic groups to beggarly and grumb-grubbing roles in politics. Left for me, Igbos should just stay out of the politics of Nigeria and leave Hausa and Yoruba to kill themselves over it... we have better priorities among ourselves to take care, after all presidency will never make the North any less poverty and disease ridden as it already is.

EasternActivist:

Atiku will shock the southwest. Some people haven't smelt the coffee yet. Better join the winning team now.

This has been the thinking of a misguided few that play ethnic politics at the detriment of the nation. But when IPOB agitate for separation, the same misguided fellows shout "One Nigeria".

Gaskiya! Ba turenci!

It's simply unfair of the igbos to expect us to abandon APC when the party hasn't completed critical reforms initiated to correct the 16 year rot of the PDP.And I blame Atiku for setting the two biggest southern tribes against themselves.

He should have known the expected response of the yorubas when he chose an igbo VP. Does he expect us to abandon Prof Yemi Osinbajo or what?

Let the igbos follow Obi and let us follow Osinbajo. Tit for Tat. The igbos rejected Buhari/Osinbajo in 2015 but are counting on yorubas to divide our votes for the sake of their son becoming VP. It will never happen. Buhari till 2023

LOL even the Northerners in APC don't like you guys, they are just there for their political interests, and would definitely not jettison that for the very fact that they want power. So let's not come here and play coy, and lie/pretend to ourselves that it's all love, kumbaya singing, and brotherly alliances in APC or PDP... Yoruba whether liberal or conservative no like Gambari, and they don't like you guys to. Best thing is just to restructure this country, or better still let's all disintegrate... every other thing is just bidding time for the inevitable.
