I could remember in 2003, the leadership of Afenifere went to the Ota home of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. People like Pa Onasanya, Abraham Adesanya, Olanihun Ajayi, Ayo Adebanjo, including Odumakin, when Obasanjo wanted their support for a second term. Obasanjo got the second term but failed to fulfill the promises he made to them. The tragedy of it now is that the same people are now falling for the same bait from a PDP president who is worse than Obasanjo in terms of keeping promises. Is that the same man Afenifere leaders are following? A man Senator Okurounmu said he does not know his left from his right some six months ago. In as much as I’m not against Nigerians sitting down to discuss our problems, because I will be pretending if I say that Nigeria’s present structure is not defective and there is need to sit down and address the imbalance. But President Goodluck Jonathan cannot be trusted with such a very serious national assignment. So, what we are saying now is that the likes of Chief Bisi Akande, Bola Tinubu, Chief Segun Osoba, and others are human beings and definitely will have their own faults, but when the Yorubas were seen to have been alienated politically by the PDP, Bola Tinubu stood up, provided the leadership, provided the muscle and all it takes to recue Edo, to rescue Ekiti, to rescue Osun and got good victories in Ogun and Oyo. I think such people deserve commendation and not antagonism.- Idowu Ajanaku,Director of Media and Strategy, Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
