Given what is unfolding in the South West today certain questions have to be asked and certain truths need to be spoken. Permit me to begin with the following. Would the Afenifere of old ever have supported a non-Yoruba candidate in a presidential election? Why do we have to cut our nose to spite our face? Simply because you hate or envy Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not mean we must deny the entire Yoruba race a crack at the Presidency. And even if Tinubu offended you in the past, can we not forgive?
You know very well that Peter Obi cannot win the presidential election and by supporting him in the West, you are splitting our base and opening the door for an Atiku Presidency. Is that what you want?
Do Nigeria and the Yoruba, whose interest you are supposed to further and protect, not deserve better than that? Can you fathom or appreciate the implications of an Atiku Abubakar Presidency for our people and for the nation generally? Have you thought it through? Do you understand what that would mean for us all?
I am a great supporter of the handshake across the Niger but the following question must be asked: would Ohanaeze ever support and back a Yoruba presidential candidate over and above an Igbo one?
