Elder statesman and Afenifere
chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has said the Yoruba nation will not be deceived
again by the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu, to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari next year.
Speaking with Daily Independent,
Adebanjo, revealed he has thrown his weight behind Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the
presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to him, Tinubu
succeeded in selling Buhari to the South-West in 2015, due to his claim that
the president has integrity and the willpower needed to turn the fortunes of
the country around.
According to Adebanjo, Tinubu
himself has realised he made a great mistake entering into alliance with
Buhari, but he is ashamed of saying it out.
“Do you think we are stupid
people in the South-West? Yoruba people are more intelligent than all that.
Tinubu succeeded in 2015 because of the fake integrity attached to Buhari. He
succeeded in bringing Buhari because of the fake integrity attached to him but
the last three years has exposed him to be fake.
“People have seen him to be fake.
He is not somebody anyone can rely upon and I have no doubt in my mind that
Tinubu would have seen the stupidity of aligning with him. By now, Tinubu must
have realised the foolish mistake he made by aligning with him but he will not
come out to admit it.
“Yoruba people are too
intelligent to be used again. Once bitten, twice shy. Tinubu has sold the
Yoruba by aligning with Buhari, even at this stage. He agreed with Buhari to do
restructuring, to do federalism. When the man now got there and he is not doing
it, has Tinubu got the courage to pull out?
“And I have said it to him and
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. They are unfair to the Yoruba because everybody
is thinking that because they represent the Yoruba, all the things against the
race, they would address them. But they are quiet on them all.
“There are killings right and
left, but they are quiet. They are quiet on the issue of revenue allocation.
Even the case of local government under this restructuring, Tinubu took
Obasanjo to court, it is part of restructuring programme and the man who
handled the case in court was Osinbajo.
“They won the case at the Supreme
Court. Under what principle did they take the then President Obasanjo to court?
They sold out and the same Osinbajo, who took Obasanjo to court for not
following the federal system, is now saying he does not understand what the
federal system means”.
