Tinubu Working Against Yoruba Interest – Adebanjo

By Muda Oyeniran

Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adabanjo has accused the national leader of the All Progressive Congress(APC), Senator Bola Tinubu of working against the interest of the Yoruba due to his personal ambition of becoming the President of the country

Adebanjo who spoke on a radio programme monitored in Ibadan at the weekend said Tinubu’s compromise on the interest of the region was the reason President Muhammad Buhari and the Northerners were taking Yorubas for granted

According to him, until Tinubu and his kinsmen in the APC decided to withdraw their support for the Buhari-led administration, the maltreatment of the race would continue.

Adebanjo who faulted the current federal system of government as enshrined in the 1999 constitution disclosed that until we went back to the old regional system of government led by Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the West, the emancipation of the race would remain a mirage

He called on President Buhari to implement the report of the 2014 Sovereign National Conference organised by former President Goodluck Jonathan describing it as the best the country ever had.

“All the people that mattered from all parts of the country were there. I make bold to say that it will be very difficult to have an assemblage of such distinguished Nigerians now. So I wonder why Buhari has jettisoned such effort at moving the country forward,” he stressed.

On the reported resistance of Northerners to the South-West security initiative, code-named AMOTEKUN, the Afenifere leader wondered why the Hausas/Fulani were against such move

According to him, the regional security initiative was the best way to address the escalating insecurity concerns bedeviling the region adding that community policing as exemplified by AMOTEKUN remained the best solution to the security challenges facing the country.
