Senator Anthony Adefuye, a Third Republic senator and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday said he stands by his words that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is not from the South-  West but an Igboman from Anambra state.

Speaking with Daily Independent, Adefuye who was responding to criticism that has trailed his comment said the former president himself knows he is from the South Eastern part of the country.

"I repeat, Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man. He is an Igbo man from the South-East. His father is from Anambra while his mother is a Yoruba woman". 

"Have you ever heard any other person bear Obasanjo before except him?  Have you seen a man in the category with mark before? Only disputed children at that time were given marks so that they can know their son".  

"It was when they wanted to come and take him by force that they gave him marks". 

"Obasanjo himself knows what I’m talking about and he can’t dispute it because it is not new. A lot of people have written about it before and his father’s photograph was also published in the papers".

"Obasanjo is an Igbo man from Anambra state. And that was why during his tenure for eight years, he completely ignored the South West". 

"Throughout his eight years, he did nothing on the Lagos- Ibadan expressway. But he did a lot for his people in the South-East. He picked five Ministers from Anambra where his father comes from and even appointed the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria from Anambra there" he said.

I remember when Ipob championed this narrative.
Wonder what suddenly changed?

yarimo:
Senator adefuye no need for that history, as it is now no any credible candidates from both south east and south south to become president.

Obiobidgbo14:
When elders like this man begin to run mad like this, I don't know what is the faith of the youths .I tell you this type of cheap and stupid propaganda has made it impossible for sw to win any national election.

Does he think that Buhari, APC members and in fact every other Nigerians are fools
Obasanjo did a lot for the yorubas, Ogun state speaks volume.With this kind of desperation, forget about this your self centred ambition of 2023

IkpuMmadu:
Yoruba elders always pulling themselves down

Is this what SWAGA 2023 is about, to be honest I'm disappointed

I don't agree with you that Obasanjo did a lot for Yorubas as presido. In what capacity?
