Yorubas Will Be Marginalized For The Next 4 Years Because of Tinubu And Akande’s Greed – Bode George
Category: Nigerian National News
Chief Bode George, former Deputy National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has blamed the National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and a former interim
National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande, over the
marginalization of Yorubas in the President Muhammadu Buhari
administration.
Speaking to PUNCH, George said the PDP was able to sustain
democracy for 16 years because it understood Nigeria’s diversity and
constantly zoned key positions among the six geopolitical zones.
“They (Tinubu and Akande) were not cautious when they were
forming their alliance. They did not understand the dynamics of national
politics. They were just driven by greed. I am not saying that they
should not have formed an alliance with the North but it should have
been on equal basis.
“They have now been given a political circumcision. Late
Obafemi Awolowo wanted Yoruba to be equal partners with the North and
not a second force. I said it that we have returned to the 1960
political era and Tinubu and Akande have been slapped. I predicted all
these.
“They were not thinking of the Yoruba but their selfish interests and I have no sympathy for them.
Chief Akande said he did not believe in zoning and I knew that he did not know what he was talking about.
“Zoning gives everybody, including the minorities, a sense
of belonging but Akande threw zoning of out the window and that move has
backfired.”
When confronted with the fact that the South-West still
holds the position of vice-president which is the number two citizen in
the country, George said, ‘’Go and read our constitution, there is no
defined job for the vice- president. He only heads the Economic Council
and is directed by the President. Let all Yoruba wake up now. You don’t
enter into a coalition without deep thinking’’.
