The Oodua Youth Movement (OYM) has pronounced All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader and former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as leader of the Yoruba race due to his various contributions to democracy in Nigeria.
The group said the pronouncement became imperative as since the demise of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Pa Adekunle Ajasin and Chief Abraham Adesanya, nobody has been able to provide purposeful leadership and unite the Yoruba race.
Speaking at a press conference held in Akure, the Ondo State capital, the National President of the group, Comrade Olalekan Owolabi, said since the death of these famous Yoruba leaders, Yoruba people, especially the youths, have been living like a herd of sheep without a shepherd.
Owolabi said, considering how Tinubu has been discovering the best among the younger generation of the Yoruba people and presenting them for leadership, he is qualified to fill the leadership vacuum in Yoruba land.
The group said it is also impressed with the way the new Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi is pursuing peace and unity among the traditional rulers.
OYM, however, urged all Yoruba leaders to close ranks in the interest of the race.
Considering this, it is our view that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is qualified to fill the leadership vacuum left behind. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
