In 1979 The SW voted against Shagari in the Federal Elections . He won their leader Awolowo went into opposition with Dignity and did NOT BEG for so called FAIRNESS and EQUITY


What did the Igboes do?

They did a dealwith Shagari and were rewarded with the Speaker of the House of Reps from NPP Azikiwe's part


So we Had



President Shehu Shagari Sokoto State

Vice President Alex Ekwueme Anambra State

Senate President Joseph Wayas Cross River State

Speaker House of Representatives Edwin Ume-Ezeoke Anambra State


The Yoruba were proud and dignified in opposition not for one day begginng for seats or sympathy.
They are not desperate to be in the centre sharing yam.

They accepted the CONSEQUENCES of their voting choices with dignity

They did not scream about equity nd fairness.

One state , One people Had the VP and Speaker and no Yoruba called them "GREEDY" or BETRAYERS


It has happened before. It is not new!!

The difference is some people have pride and dignity[/s]

But they vote against APC en masse and then turn round to start claiming equity and fairness. It is an absolute disgrace

nwanyionitsha:
But Apc had igbo members na, and they won elections.
There should be fairness and equitable sharing of key positions.
I don't really have any business with Apc anyways. Whatever they do remains with them.

OAUTemitayo:

NPN had Yoruba members too.
Why didn't they appoint them?
Though I don't want the exclusion of any part of the country to ensure inclusiveness and equality.
However, the moral right to complain doesn't reside with same people who didn't campaign for the inclusion of a Yoruba then.
Because it favoured them, they were enjoying. Yoruba's kept mute and looked the other way.
Same thing happened in the first republic; An Igbo was President, an Igbo was Speaker of House of Reps. No Yoruba was appointed among the top four positions in Nigeria.
The only reason why I want their inclusion is to heal wounds and let's forge ahead as a country devoid of bitterness..

Where was the SW when this happened




in opposiion with dignity not claiming or begging for undeserved handouts, No!!

They too responsibility for their electoral choices like ADULTS

They did not vote for Shagari and maintained a dignified distance from NPN the ruling party unlike those other pipu

Ojiofor:


Some people from SE hustling for positions in this APC administration are APC members only or have any PDP member asked Buhari for appointment?

GEJ should have just chased them out of the room.

Why even answer their questions.

This is a welcome development, the Yorubas should be effectively and perpetually marginalized and schemed out, because they deserve worst things also. What did they achieve for their rotten Yoruba states during wasted years of the baboon called Obasanjorijo Useless and woe tribe. They should step up the complaint, GEJ will as usual and as always mess them up. They forgot that Tinubo sold them out for a pot of 'ewodu', the same way their foolish leaders sold out abioala to the almajiris to be slaughtered.

Every second time changes nothing new there. We are going forward with Gbaja and Lawan

Nobody is stopping them abeg, park one side, will Gbaja and Lawan feed you or your family members, you cant even get close to them and if you try there security details will flog the hell out of your butt or even shot you at close range.

Why bring your family and their feeding into it?

Clearly you are touched somewhere painful?

Hence the flogging metaphor

I feel your pain

This is not about food or your family of flogging


Focus
This is about political struggle between divergent interests

Play the game

Don't get churlish and irritable

My point is simple

When roles were reversed the Yoruba bore it WITH DIGNITY

NO one's family was abused or flogged. Awolowo relished the opposition and forbade his people from taking appointments from Shagari. A few decamped but that is politics.

At that time the Yoruba had much greater control of the press and NOT FOR ONE DAY were Igb criticized for their legitimate choice to side with Shagari

The papers are there till today

Who is talking about appointments

Is this thread about appointments ?

Now you are feigning ignorance of the issue




President Shehu Shagari Sokoto State

Vice President Alex Ekwueme Anambra State

Senate President Joseph Wayas Cross River State

Speaker House of Representatives Edwin Ume-Ezeoke Anambra State


Were they appointees
