Ayo Adebanjo
A chieftain of Afenifere Ayo Adebanjo has called on the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to withdraw his support for President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of 2019 elections.
Speaking in an interview with the Sun, Adebanjo warned Tinubu that the South West will no longer follow him ‘sheepishly’ as they did in 2015.
He said: “If Tinubu is not going to perdition and if he is going to be rational, he should withdraw from President Muhammadu Buhari and come home.
“There is nothing to report for having joined Buhari in the last general elections. What has he got to show for all the support for Buhari when he appointed all the security chiefs from Katsina?
“Tinubu has gained nothing. He is just bargaining with the Yoruba people. Whatever he is doing with Buhari would not serve the Yoruba interest.
“If he challenges that, he should come and say this is what he has brought to the Yoruba people since joining the Buhari government.
“Apart from the stooges Buhari appointed, all the major positions are in the hands of the Northerners.
“Except the positions given to some of them because of their efforts during the campaign, what did the Yoruba people gain as a body?
“Do you think that in 2019, everybody will follow former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu sheepishly to perdition. Don’t forget that the people of the South West are not fools.”
