Senator Anthony Adefuye, a Third Republic senator and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday said he has no intention to ridicule anyone owing to his recent statement on the 2023 presidential election.

In a message sent to Daily Independent, Adefuye said his statement that former president, Olusegun Obasanjo is an Igbo man from Anambra State is not to ridicule anyone but to make it clear to Nigerians that the South-West has not produced the President since the return of Nigeria to democratic governance in 1999 and it is their turn to do so in 2023.

“My intention is not to ridicule anybody but to make it clear to Nigerians that it is the turn of the South-West to produce the next president ” he said.

He ended up ridiculing his people anyway..

So he is free to continue

Lol. Watch as they play you! You think he is acting alone ?

If you people can come up with ridiculous claims in your attempt to railroad others to support your ambition, others will checkmate you

Play fire and acting alone mbok.

Who took him serious?

He ended up telling everyone how SW are gullible people.

There is no play here but he is just shaming his people..

Nobody cares

He is suffering from chronic of sophisticated madness.

Expect more ridiculous statements in the build up to 2023... But I still don't see the reason why the north can't keep the presidency beyond 2023

Your rants especially the part you stated why you opposed 25% derivative to oil producing states only exposed your stupidity , greed and envy.

Now it should be abundantly clear that just as the Igbos wanted to annex the Niger Delta for oil so also did you yaribanzas fought to keep the oil in one Nijeriya

No Yoruba man will ever be given any attention when they come out and decietfully speak on restructuring and so no presidency for you parasites

As things stand now, we in the ND should know that we are our own allies. The Igbos and Yorubas are never to be trusted .

Why should Yoruba support whatever you are to get 25%, when you fail to support Yoruba to keep bulk of the taxes from our space. Mind you, there is a difference between foreign exchange and government revenue. Your region generates bulk of the fomer while Yoruba region generates bulk of the latter. Yorubaland does not depend on oil, we depend on taxes.

Oni of ife must hear this

we aren't surprised....

an average Afonja man is mentally unstable.....

Even oduduwa was deranged during his time in the skies before they trowed him overboard

This post reeks of so many afinja lies .

Who in the Niger Delta opposed yiur sharing formula which your Awolowo was the single author who based the sharing formula not on revenue generated within a state but on population figures.

And FYI , taxes are shared 50-50 with the FG unlike oil revenue where a palyry 13% is given to the states.

And don't forget that Lagos gets huge chunk of corporate taxes from oil companies domiciled within her boundaries. A situation which Awolowo put in place when he was finance Minister and deputy to Gowon.

You talk of Yoruba land generating bulk of naira income via taxes which you failed to see that without Oil wealth from the ND you won't have had the infrastructure and economy in place .

Stop lying and ask yourself what in return dies the Niger Delta get for subsidizing you leaches?

Nothing

1. All taxes excluding personal income tax are taken to Abuja, where they are later shared to states using criteria like; landmass, population, number of LG and other ridiculous stuff.
2. Oil was discovered in 1956.
3. Apapa port - 1913, Lagos Intl Airport now MMA - 1947, UI -1948. All from taxes paid by Yoruba people under British colonialism.
4. Indudtrial estates: Ikeja, Apapa, Oluyole, Ikorodu, etc all built by Awolowo from 1951, when Western region obtain self-rule from the British.
5. Large pool of taxable human resources, majorly cultivated by Awolowo during regional government, from taxes generated in Yoruba.
6. The aforementioned are the reasons why Yorubaland was the richest during colonislism, during regional government, and is still the richest at the present. The north used to be the second richest. Your region only displaced north as second richest due to oil but Yorubaland is in a different league.
7. Lastly, reprentatives of your region has repeatedly joined those of other regions to deny Yoruba of our desire to keep a portion of our taxes before it get sent to FG. So, it is only pragmatic that our representatives also join others to prevent you from realizing your desire.
Please provide evidence for the highlighted section. That is, evidence for such sharing formula before the fraudulent 1999 constitution, authored by the Igbo man Ben Nwabueze, as a willing tool of the Fulani.
In conclusion, Yorubaland is the greatest net contributor to Nigeria.
