Some prominent Yoruba leaders under the aegis of South-West Forum has adopted the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar for the 2019 election.

At the end of the colloquium tagged, “2019: South-West Speaks”, the Yoruba leaders resolved to support the Abubakar for the 2019 Presidential election because of his promise of restructuring. The event was held at at Muson Centre, Onikan Lagos.

I laugh in Swahili���. Cause Yoruba right now don’t have a known leader, even Tinubu that is like a rallying point can’t be said to be Yoruba leader. Some PDP members will just sit somewhere and call themselves Yoruba leaders. I want to know their contribution to the Yoruba race.

Is this an impossible task to do, Mr. President? Removing one’s cap doesn’t require flying to Poland and hosting a staged and friendly audience.

Like the Nike advert, JUST DO IT, Mr. President!

Ask GEJ how many endorsement he got in the West and how much he paid.

Ask how much each Oba got.

Yoruba are politically smart. They will eat anything coming to them even when their minds are already made up

They want to dupe him. Same way Ohaneze is supporting Buhari

Is a season of money sharing, you must be on both sides indirectly.

I already have 100 boys to display for Atiku when he comes to Lagos. He will pay and we still deny him at the polls.

It's not a sin during this season.
