Anambra Delegation Came To See Obasanjo, But He Refused To Let Them In - Adefuye by bolaayenimo: 12:11pm On Dec 24, 2020
Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos 

Senator Anthony Adefuye, a Third Republic senator and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday blasted Afenifere, pan Yoruba socio-political organisation for claiming he was distorting history over his statement on former President Olusegun Obasanjo's heritage.

Adefuye in an interview with Daily Independent had said Obasanjo is an Igboman with an Igbo father from Anambra state while his mother was from Abeokuta in Ogun state.

Yinka Odumakin, Afenifere's National Publicity Secretary however said described Adefuye's statement as a "twisted and perverted logic".

He also said some Yoruba sons are trying to join others to denigrate the heritage of the former president in a bid to advance their political interests.

Speaking with our correspondent on Thursday, Adefuye said he parted ways with Afenifere leaders because they are not honest people. 

Adefuye who accused them of cheating the late Funso Williams also added that Afenifere leaders are embittered against him for supporting Obasanjo in the 1999 presidential election.

He said "Odumakin is a man who talks for what he will get from what he says. He knows no facts. The only sin I committed against Afenifere was that I supported Obasanjo during the 1999 presidential election".  

"At that time, they also cheated late Funsho Williams and so I decided not to work with them. I have just been keeping quiet not because we don't know them. We know them very well. The problems they are facing now, they caused it themselves". 

"So, that is why they have no followership anymore. Before it is the party that Afenifere supports that wins election but today, when they are in any political party, nobody is there and they lose because they are never honest. They are not honest people. They don't speak the truth". 

"When we were in the 2014 National conference, that was why some of them went and take money from President Goodluck Jonathan and said that he should make derivation 25 percent. I asked, if you make derivation 25 percent, how does that save we Yorubas that have no oil? When my children will come and read in history that I was part of the people that said derivation should go to Ijaw people?".

The elderstatesman also backed his claim that restated Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man with an incident that happened in 1999 shortly after Obasanjo's victory in the 1999 presidential election.

"When we were campaigning for him, most of the time I was with him in Ota, Ogun state. After he won the presidential election in 1999, this delegation came from Anambra state and they said they wanted to see him as their son who has just won election". 

"Obasanjo refused and didn't allow them to enter that day. I was with him and was pleading with him to allow them to enter and hear what they wanted to say but he refused. The national dailies flew it the next day. I know Obasanjo very well so I know what I'm talking about" Adefuye said.

Why is it suddenly difficult for same people that easily believe that Buhari is 'Jibril' from Sudan, to believe Obasanjo is from Anambra? And what's the big deal if OBJ is from Anambra? Are Anambrians not Nigerians again Maybe the father didn't pay the Yoruba mother's bride price.

Any sane person will do what OBJ did. You abandoned him in Abacha prison but when he now became president, you now come claiming him as son. Son koo, sonship ni

Even OBJ himself and families are yet to refute the claims.

Anyways lets see what will happen in the coming days.

So they want to technically ease out the SE from the contest, it's not going to work.

Rochas, Kalu and Obi will not agree.

Obasanjo is the Balogun of Owu, a bonafide Yoruba man even if his father was from Anambra.

Are we still on this?

I don't want to believe that this a cheap ploy to say that the presidency should be zoned to the South West. Buhari has taught many politicans to always position his people and ignore the rest...no matter whose ox is gored. So, going forward, presidency will be interesting!

Imagine being angry that 25% derivation was suggested for people who should normally have over 50% derivation! He said since they don't have oil, what will he tell his children if he supports 25% for Ijaws, did he also asked himself whether his children are suffering the environmental degradation like the Ijaw children are suffering? Lack of equity and justice is the bane of this fraudulent contraption.

On the issue of whether Obj is an igbo man. So if we assume his father was Igbo, does it mean Igbos have done their presidency and now its Yorubas turn? How deceitful can people be?

grin grin PROPAGANDA is sweet until you're the one who's being ridiculed.

Some people will start feeling what it means to propagate falsehood against someone else because they don't like them.

It looks funny but slowly some people may start believing this.

Hmmm. Atleast this period is dull and this man has given me something to cheer about. We need more hybrid leaders like OBJ cos the level of tribalism in Nigeria is too high.

So what if his Dad is from Anambra? Isn't his mum from Ogun indeed?
Obasanjo is very well a Yoruba man as long as one of his parents is!

These same bigots celebrated Obama when he emerged as America's president despite his paternal origins.

How are we supposed to grow with this medieval mindset?
This man should have his head examined because there's nothing to look at here.
